You seem to have overlooked that the ones sold _without_ OS are not included in the Linux numbers. Anybody that bought one of the Linux models wanted Linux to be installed. And hence your "argument" vanishes. You were just regurgitating the parts of the story you actually saw anyways,

Mass surveillance is only useful for establishing authoritarian states. Anybody that still thinks differently does not have a working mind. As soon as these mechanisms exist, they are used for control. It has never been different and it will not be different now.

Terrorism? Nonsense. Since when are terrorists communication in ways that mass-surveillance covers? Organized crime? Same thing.

The only reason left for new nuclear is maintaining nuclear weapons. That is the reason that, for example, the UK is so keen on that one new reactor. Or that France plans only a tiny number of new construction.

The only one not lying about this is Macron though: https://www.lemonde.fr/idees/a...

The problem with nuclear energy so far is that we don't seem to be learning. Nuclear power is safe, the technology is great. The problem is, the management is the weak point. The human part. It seems every nuclear disaster was caused by a failure of management in some way - the need to get something done quickly or safety steps were bypassed in the name of efficiency.

Indeed. And in the name of greed and "let somebody else fix it". There is massive evidence that the people in the nuclear industry cannot be trusted.

The other problem is the excessive cost, the limited fuel, oh, and the constant lying about the cost when you take reactor decommissioning and spend fuels storage and actual risk-costs into account. Like the lie that "Nuclear cannot be insured". It can be. It just makes the real risk-costs obvious. I happen to know that the back-insurers made (secret) offers when asked back when the first commercial reactors were built. But the real risk-costs killed any possibility to pretend nuclear power is cheap, so these were kept under wraps.

Oh, and also the claim about nuclear being "carbon neutral". Not even excessively pro organizations like the World Nuclear Association are pushing that lie. Publishing skewed numbers? Yes. But claiming carbon neutral? No. (https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/energy-and-the-environment/carbon-dioxide-emissions-from-electricity).

No, actually _you_ claimed that LLMs would find "obvious" vulnerabilities. There are no "obvious" vulnerabilities in absence of a specification. And, FYI regarding your initial example, any general expectation to a web-browser, for example that it does not crash, is an informal and incomplete specification. Also note that a web-browser can almost always be made to "crash" at the current level of technology and that is not a vulnerability.
