To have a proper perspective, you have to keep in mind China has more than 13 million high school graduates in 2025, with only about 5 million seats in higher education.

277,000 enrollment is only 2% of the total, or about 3-4% out of those 8 million who cannot get into local universities in China.

The 100,000 or so figure throw about for other destinations is less than 1% of this year's high school graduates.

So the change is about less than 0.5%. About as significant as the Dow dropping 200 points.

Don't buy Apple products.

It amazes me how some companies have brainwashed their customer base so hard that they can repeatedly screw them over yet customers will keep buying more. Apple is that.

Bizarrely, it seems a lot of legal and government offices in the US still accept a FAXed copy of an original, but not a scanned/emailed one.

Sorry I should have been more explicit:
The only reason I even keep a windows partition around is for gaming,
Everything else already gets done in Linux (actual Linux not WSL) by way of dual-booting at home, and because my work PC has been Linux-only for years, so I already have it covered, thanks.

But with steam doing an increasingly good job with Proton, and Microsoft forcing increasingly clueless shit like this and privacy-raping shit like Recall on users, I'm finally 101% done with them.

Dude are you actually accusing me of being an AI?

Yet another reason to finally delete my windows partition and go 100% Linux only.

Theyâ(TM)re just making themselves irrelevant. There are plenty of other equally good or better virtualisation options out there, including free ones, especially if you're on Linux.

Stack ranking is how you destroy a company from within, putting all your staff into a perpetual game of survivor is going to promote backstabbing at worst and information hoarding self-preservation in the least.

The sooner this Meta-stasis is gone from the world, the better for everyone.

Everyone in China have been watching all these sanctions applied to Russia, well aware that one day, the same and worse will be done to them.

Hence the Chinese have been building their own version of everything that used to rely on other countries, most recently being their own PC OS, and the most notably their own chips.

I guess we will be seeing their own gaming console in the next few years, and then Sony can say goodbye to the Chinese market.

It sounds like one of the expectations customers genuinely had is to walk around in public with this thing on your face all the time, and nobody would laugh at them, presumably because the fanbois have been brainwashed to believe that the Apple logo makes them look cool no matter what.

The terms around the transferring or selling of personal data without consent shouldn't ever be legal in the first place either,
