"Trump has often boasted about ending eight wars, styling himself as "the president of peace" and therefore deserving of the Nobel honour but those claims have been exaggerated.

The latest conflict he claims to have ended was two years of fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

The other seven are Israel and Iran, Pakistan and India, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Thailand and Cambodia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Egypt and Ethiopia and Serbia and Kosovo.

But some of those conflicts lasted just days and one, Egypt-Ethiopia, had no fighting to end but rather involved long-standing issues of water sharing from the Nile River."

Missed that, hilarious.

Whenever this gets mentioned, it's always pointed out that in Idocracy, President Camacho finds the smartest person in the world to actually fix the problems.

> he held the record of "most dropped bombs by any US president".

Disregarding WW2, I'd assume LBJ or Nixon holds that record.


Nitpick: AS/400/i aren't mainframes, they're "mid-range" in IBM speak, or the last of the "minicomputers", a totally separate line from IBM 360/70/90/Z.

I am. I had to do the enable beta workaround to get the (apparently) last security fix.

I "updated" to 26 on my iPad. It's slower. It's ugly as hell. It's worse in every respect for me, even after enabling accessibility features. It's the Windows 11 of ios/macos/ipados.


Not just this.

The entire Liquid Glass thing is a usability nightmare for me. I already have had to enable accessibility options in previous releases, now these things don't even fix the transparency problems.


I don't know if it still works, but there was a way to get 18.7.3, for devices pushed to "upgrade" to Tahoe by enabling ios 18 beta releases.

They closed that loophole a couple weeks ago. 18.7.3 is no longer available for phones that can run 26.

I wonder what percentage of Windows computers bought in the last decade even have a physical media drive? I'd imagine very few. So, there's probably little demand for this, but also the amount of resources to keep it running is also very low.

The article notes that Apple still has CD look up. Is Gracenote even still around?
