Analog computers don’t have CPUs as we understand them…
Not anymore. Bitcoin now requires dedicated hardware (ASICs). Other coins were designed to make use of ASICs impossible or impractical, requiring GPUs, but those still require a CPU to drive them.
New developments, such as Ethereum moving away from proof of work to proof of stake made GPUs unnecessary, but you still need a computer with a CPU to validate the blocks on the block-chain.
Edit: Even with ASICs mining bitcoin, you still need servers to distribute the work to them.
Banning TikTok would be as good as banning Facebook, Instagram or XTwitter, by that I mean it would be a net gain for society as a whole. But you have to ban them all, without discriminating based on which nation they originated.
But this is not the case here, this is the US congress enacting barriers towards foreign competitors, just like they did with steel, sugar and cars (ever wondered why you can’t buy one of those little European cars in America?).
This TikTok bullshit is Huawei all over again. It’s not to protect “national security” or “the children”, the Huawei ban was all about protecting the business of American companies during the transition from 4G to 5G.
Fuck it ! I’m buying the game again. I have it on GOG and Google Play Store and now I’m buying it on Steam too, for no other reason than reward ConcernedApe for his amazing work.
