As I've gutted most out of the kernel for #OS1337 myself...

That's added with few clicks in the Features Tab...

Also those #Android ROMs that do support #ExFAT have it spechally #licensed for them - that's not a default feature so one cannot assume it's there...
In fact #Microsoft really loves #racketeering and #rentseeking #Android Device Manufacturers...

You can thank the assholes that patented it for that.
Also unless you #root your android and build a custom #Kernel with #FUSE support you can't use ntfs-3g.

I ‘Googled’ (🤣) ‘Chrome’ on Bing in the Edge browser and got a series of increasingly desperate dialogues insisting that I don’t need a new browser, and that Edge ‘…runs on the same technology as Chrome, with the added trust of #Microsoft’. I swear if they could, Microsoft would pull down my trousers and suck me off if I promised not to download #Chrome.

“#Microsoft disclosed that its global water consumption spiked 34% from 2021 to 2022 (to nearly 1.7 billion gallons, or more than 2,500 Olympic-sized swimming pools), a sharp increase compared to previous years that outside researchers tie to its #AI research.”
“#ChatGPT gulps up 500 milliliters of water (close to what’s in a 16-ounce water bottle) every time you ask it a series of between 5 to 50 prompts or questions.”

Granted at the current rate of speed increase, even bad low-level emulation will longterm be feasile on COTS parts that ain't expensive.
For a lot of people, a #VirtualBox on some #MiniPC would likely be sufficient, but then again they likely just want to play something and not tinker much.
OFC a "#MSDOS #classic" would be possible to some extent since #Microsoft #FLOSS'd it.

Tencent claims new AI chat bot skills comparable to ChatGPT
> Tencent’s “Hunyuan Aide”, which it released to the public on Thursday, follows the similar ERNIE Bot rolled out by fellow Chinese company #Baidu last month.
> Beijing introduced fresh regulations last month for #AI developers, aiming to allow them to stay in the race with the likes of #ChatGPT maker #OpenAI and #Microsoft while tightly controlling information online.
