Now they need to make the BIOS updates installable from Linux or ability to flash them from the BIOS. But I like this move, hope more start doing so.

That would be quite a task. It is wild how many internet services rely on AWS.

It is a really fragile topic, at least for moldovans and I’d say it is mostly due to ideological reasons. A lot of moldovans do not identify themselves as romanians and this is due to 2 main reasons:

• Lots of them are not romainians, but descendants of relocated russians or other nations from USSR many of which to this date don’t speak a word in Romanian;
• USSR cultivated the idea that Moldovans are not Romaninas and that Moldova was there long before Romania (which is a stupid argument as Romania was formed after uniting multiple historical regions including Moldova);

Out of these reasons Moldova had and has a huge debate over the existence of Moldovan language, just recently the constitution was updated stating that the state official language is Romanian. Within Moldova at this point there is the Moldovan dialect which differs a lot from other Romanian dialects, even the Moldovan dialect from within Romania, where Moldovan dialect has a mixture of russian/ukranian words.

If it is advertised well, it will be the same as with smartphones nowadays. Companies won’t plant chips into human brains, people will pay to have chips planted into their brains and pay even more for yearly upgrades.

When you claim to have the most advanced army and weapons in the world and still need to ask North Korea for help.
