  • I found WSL kinda useless when it first came out, you didn’t have any low level access and they explicitly refused ssh connections unless you paid for windows professional and interacting with files on windows was either impossible or just very buggy I’m still not quite sure which, I think the problem was that they used the wrong slash in the file system and most programs that interacted with it didn’t understand that, not to mention networking was a chore.

    This could possibly be the worst possible prize. Raw tungsten isn’t actually that expensive. What’s expensive is working with it as it melts 3,410c (6,170f) isn’t very malleable and is heavy like really really heavy to move this block you will probably need larger equipment than standard industrial moving equipment, bigger trucks and loaders also you’ll need to get the city’s permission to haul it on the roads , that alone is probably going to cost more than the cube is worth you will then have to pay a monthly storage fee until someone wants to buy it. Shouldn’t be that long right? It’s a valuable metal… well good luck finding a company that works with tungsten outside of china, and you absolutely can not ship it. But let’s assume you find someone who wants it(at a considerable discount) well now you have to higher the specialized movers again.

    EDIT:

    Actually I just did the math and plugged in all the known values I could find and assuming you could sell it within the first year you could probably make $700,000, so it would still be well worth it. But a lot of trouble.

    If, I have learned anything from YouTube it’s that if a multi trillion dollar international mega conglomerate doesn’t want you to have it, no matter how impossible it may seem they can stop you from getting it they just need enough market incentives.

    This could just be one small step in a much larger plan or it could be placating the United States government whose to say.



  • If you take unknown to mean Linux(which I do Linux Users have got to be the most secretive bunch on earth and all the others are self reporting) then Linux is at %9 If you include ChromeOs (which I half do) Linux is at %11.25 If you include MacOS(which I 1/4 Do) Linux is at %26.7 If you include windows(It technically has WSL So I 1/8 Do) Linux is At %100

    Is this a joke yea. But technically you can write a Linux Program That will Run on every system without recompiling and you can’t say that about anything else so technically It has %100 available to everyone on earth(Except FreeBSD users Fuck them)
