I hope the Legal Entity Identifier implementation in China grows fast - I see many Wikipedia Articles with possibility false information about the ownership structure, which could be fixed and proofed with a LEI search when companies have a number.

Canalys lists Xiaomi as one of their clients and BBK Electronics would be bigger if you count the numbers of their brands (Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus, Realme) together, so the Canalys report (which gets quoted by popular media) isn't accurate.

welp, it finally happened, Microsoft decided the latest Minecraft version should drop support for the kids' Thinkpad T410's graphics card.

this box is plenty fast enough to run Minecraft at a playable frame rate; they've been enjoying it for half a decade. I don't know what new OpenGL feature they just Couldn't Live Without but now this machine is destined for recycling.

luckily I had a T420 in I could dust off but ... how long till they pull this shit again and we gotta trash that one too?

"The Economy" will never "recover."

"The Economy" is not a real thing. It's a yardstick.

Worry about the health of what "The Economy" was meant to measure, not the health of the yardstick.
