They approached this from a noob perspective and the benchmarks seemed pretty rough. The blog has an overall positive tone on linux which is nice even though it got murdered in performance.

I'd like to see a follow up with optimizations, get some of the linux community involved to help setup an optimized linux test bench to go toe to toe with their "golden image" windows 11 benchmark setup.

They benchmarked a few distros against each other and it was very samey which I expected, the real difference is between the drivers/kernel and desktop environment since most distros come very light in terms of installed software.

An Amish woman who told authorities she was testing her faith when she threw her 4-year-old son into an Ohio lake was charged Wednesday with two counts of aggravated murder in the boy’s death.

Authorities said Ruth R. Miller, 40, of Millersburg, Ohio, told investigators she believed she was acting at the direction of God when she allegedly killed her son Vincen at Atwood Lake early Saturday.

The lead investigator with the Tuscarawas County Sheriff’s Office, Capt. Adam Fisher, said Wednesday that Ruth Miller repeatedly said in interviews with police that she threw the boy off the dock and into the water to give him to God.

“It did not appear that the gravity of the situation had sunk in,” Fisher said.

The woman’s husband, Marcus J. Miller, 45, had apparently drowned while attempting to swim to an offshore sandbank hours earlier in another test of faith, Sheriff Orvis Campbell told reporters at a news conference Monday. Their other children, a 15-year-old girl and twin 18-year-old boys, were also directed to perform water-based trials of their belief but survived, Campbell said.

New Philadelphia Municipal Court online records indicate Ruth Miller was also charged with domestic violence and child endangerment regarding the older children. Authorities said Ruth Miller was receiving treatment at a secure mental health facility and had not been arrested by late Wednesday afternoon. A message seeking comment was left for her attorney, Scott Fromson.

We have an army for fighting as well as an army for labour. For fighting, we have the Eighth Route and New Fourth Armies but even they do a dual job, warfare and production. With these two kinds of armies, and with a fighting army skilled in these two tasks and in mass work, we can overcome our difficulties and defeat Japanese imperialism.

The far-right Israeli finance minister's remarks follow comments last week in which he said: "Whoever doesn't evacuate, don't let them. No water, no electricity; they can die of hunger or surrender."

The forthcoming visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to China to the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and current development of relations with Russia evidences a significant refocusing in the Indian geopolitical strategy amid growing strain in relations with the West, The Times of India newspaper said.

New Delhi thereby challenges the world order led by the United States and demonstrates the aspiration of India towards the strategic autonomy and a more balanced geopolitical approach, which may lead to rethinking of global alliances, the news outlet said.

The SCO summit with participation of leaders of Russia, India and China in the context of the 50-percent increase of US tariffs on Indian exports largely as the punishment for Indian purchases of Russian oil appears not as an ordinary multilateral event but as a counterbalance against US pressure.

The aggressive tariff policy of US President Donald Trump pushed into to a detente in relations with China and simultaneous further strengthening of already warm relations in Moscow, the newspaper said. The evolving situation provides also the opportunity to restore the trilateral format of Russia-India-China that was idle for almost a decade, it added.

As he publicly mocks concerns that crime in California is out of control, Gov. Gavin Newsom is also surging law enforcement resources across the state.

Bin am Ende so an meinem Zielbahnhof angekommen, dass ich tatsächlich den letzten Bus nach Hause locker erwischt habe. Ich bin dann um 3 Uhr morgens angekommen.
