  • RISC and CISC are two language which your CPU speaks, and which have different strengths and weaknesses. Reduced Instruction Set Computer vs. Complex Instruction Set Computer. It’s something like Chinese vs. English. Either have a word for everything but that means there is a lot of words to learn, or have a smaller amount of words but that means you need more words to describe what you mean.

    Highly technical; both been around for a while, and iirc usually CPUs use CISC, but RISC always retained it’s strengths, so scientists are always looking into the difference in application for both.

    Ngl I have no clue why this technology is so newsworthy rn but I know Western countries made a fuss about China activitely pushing the lesser used RISC architecture.


  • Right, so with all me very specific troubleshooting questions I should go where exactly?

    Ecosia? Very limited search results

    Yandex? More obscure results, probably not what I’m looking for

    Bing? Ok on general stuff, not great on very specific questions

    Yahoo? Never tried it, heard the enshittification has become bad

    Duckduckgo and similar? Proxying Google

    Edit: apparently it’s proxying Bing and not Google. Idk if that’s better but I got that wrong.

    There is no way to get around Google. Everything else is either highly specialized, very limited or unusable in general.

    Also feel free to chime in with your experience, I’m so down to hear what everyone has to say.
