Huh? Nothing is stopping you from making a powerplant-on-a-ship, as long as you keep the civilian stuff and the military stuff separate, as they should be. A civilian nuclear powered power ship is a civilian power ship built with a civilian commercial nuclear reactor running on commercial grade reactor fuel available to everybody, a military nuclear submarine or aircraft carrier is a military vessel running on weapon grade nuclear fuel because the military need maximal possible energy density for combat capabilities.

I was explaining why it's a bad idea to try to use a military vessel as a civilian power ship, but nothing is stopping you from building a ship that's designed specifically for a nuclear powered civilian power ship from ground up, as China and Russia have both demonstrated already with success.

Most other country just haven't done this for civil applications because they haven't had a need for something like this that's strong enough to justify the extremely high initial upfront cost of a civilian nuclear power ship. Russia has a really big need for this because of the massive economic value of the sea path around the north pole, that tend to get frozen half the year, where there's no infrustructure to provide power otherwise, and their nuclear power ship doubles as a nuclear icebreaker. And China on the other hand have really big state-subsidized companies who are already heavily invested in building their own commercial nuclear products so it's kind of like a natural extension to their product line.

Oh wow those pretty tiny memory requirements for a decent modern system! That's actually very impressive! :D

Many people can probably even run this on older media servers or even just a plain NAS! That's awesome! :D

This would have been a great idea on paper, but unfortunately it's not really possible in practice, because unlike the Chinese and Russian civilian nuclear power ships, nuclear powered military vessels typically have weapon grade reactor fuel. Military vessels use nuclear power not just to give them infinite range, but to also give them the kind of sustained top speed that is significantly higher than what's typically feasible with conventional power plants (especially so for submarines, which have to push through water, and aircraft carriers, which are really massive). So military vessels use weapon grade reactor fuel that have much higher uranium concentration to achieve the kind of power density that allows them to have such tremendously high sustained performance.

And just think about the kind of regulatory and legal nightmares if anyone even thinks about trying to incorporate a power plant running on weapon grade nuclear fuel, into a civilian power grid LMAO.

Or a practical example, many countries who don't have their own nuclear arsenal (which is like the majority of countries by number), do not even legally allow a nuclear powered military vessel of any kind to sail within certain hundreds of nautical miles to their boarder, not even for peacetime refitting and provisioning, because of nuclear proliferation concerns and such.

And in addition to that, because of the inherent risks involved in a military vessel running on weapons grade fuel, military ships have their reactors designed so that they require continuous control and operation from human operators, so that in the case when their human operators have become non-functional, as one could always expect in a terrible artificial disaster that is called warfare, these reactors would guarentee to shut down themselves automatically and safely, so they don't have a chance to just randomly turn into unreachable nuclear disasters in deep ocean. Because of this, their operational cost is much much higher than a commercial nuclear power plant that's designed to keep running, for the same amount of power they can generate, and that's not even counting the significantly more expensive refueling cost from higher concentration fuel yet.

Exactly.

It's not so much that Americans are like this in general, there are always people like this and people who are opposite from this in any county, America included. But because of social media, the voice of specifically this kind of people get magnified and appeared much louder than the voice of people not like this.

Many American ran social media (those offered by Meta especially) are specifically designed this way because they operate in such a way where engagement generate ad revenues, and conflicts, destructive and otherwise rage inducing content are the most effective ways for generating engagement on the internet in general. Unfortunately over a course of lack of regulatory actions they have perfected a balance between as much rage inducing content as possible and not too much destructiveness to a point where they get into legal troubles.

Has there been any estimated minimal system requirements for this yet, since it runs locally?

Exactly

Yeah it's certainly interesting that at least one vendor is trying to push for such a specific extreme niche. You do have to give up pretty much everything else for it, only 1 year software support, on buggy software made by a very small and not-resourceful company with poor software quality and support track record, no SD card slot, no IP rating, and no unlockable bootloader even so no root and not custom ROM after they end the official software support, etc.

But yes, looks like if the only thing you need is the best of the best sustained performance, this one is the best choice among all phones with this SoC.

It's actually not entirely that simple, there are a bit more nuance in this. They definitely do trade a bit of battery longevity, but sacrificing longevity alone won't give you 100W on a battery that typically can only do 45W, you will get it bursting into flame instead.

Rather, many of those Chinese phones that charge at super high power were double-cell or multi-cell designs. A multi-cell battery would allow you to reach much higher charging current under the same voltage while generating less heat due to lower resistance between terminals. But multi-cell batteries are inherently less space efficient than single cell batteries.

So they took different priorities and also traded space efficiency for charging speed, and of course this trade also means they have to trade other things to get back the space for battery, such as size of speakers (and therefore speaker audio quality) for example.

On the other hand many of those Chinese phones also don't abide by standard protocols even way before PPS became a thing, and many of them required their own vendor's proprietary charger to get the marketed charging speed, which have a VERY non-standard voltage, so that they can keep current low by raising voltage higher than standard USB/PD voltages, to keep the power high. This often also meant you need not only the vendor's proprietary charger, but also their proprietary cable too because their non-standard charging voltage is also beyond the voltage that's standard for USB cables. This principle is common now with PD chargers (like for charging a laptop for example), but they have been doing this way before PD protocol, so they have their own choices of voltage/current combos that are incompatible with PD protocol. And of course those Chinese companies like Xiaomi and Huawei would never give a flying F about complying to established industry standards and avoid vendor lock-in, customer rights be damned lol

You mean the circle below the cameras? That is not a button, this phone has an active cooling system, yes you heard it right. The "button looking" thing is the fan's protective grill, and the blue "ring" is the built-in RGB lights inside shinning through the gap for air to flow through. There is another set of openings on the side of the phone that gives another opening for air to flow through.

Because of active cooling this phone has no IP rating at all. Based on benchmarks and reviews I've seen so far they managed to allow the GPU to have nearly no thermal throttling, with the active cooling system. However, disappointingly, it does throttle the CPU a LOT still.

Ubuntu Touch, perhaps? Lol

Hmmm it looks pretty but is it just me or Weather Master's UI looks soooo much more iOS-like than Breezy Weather?

That's the thing, for multitasking a foldable's screen size is not even remotely as transformative as a 10+ or even 12 inches proper tablet, while for just the most basic "have each side for different thing", which I guess is like the lowest possible standard we can have for multitasking, a conventional non-foldable phone doesn't do it that much worse, you just turn your phone horizontal and do split screen in landscape orientation.

On the other hand, with a 12" proper tablet you can meaningfully have 4 or even 6 windows showing on your screen at the same time, for some real multitasking, at a moment's notice.

My point is that current foldable phones don't offer enough screen size, to be transformative enough to justify the long list of downside you have to deal with, like fragile screen, screen fold crease, etc.
