There’s no way to be viable against a heavily government-subsidized competitor who operates in a country with little to no labor, environmental, or safety regulation.

yes, it looks at a fine-grained clock, usually a cycle counter provided by the CPU for this purpose, to aggregate total on-cpu time for each process.

I think a lot of modern kernels are “tickless” - they don’t use a timeslice timer, and only context switch on IO interrupt, process yield, or when timeouts are specifically requested (including capping cpu-bound processes). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tickless_kernel

I think they limit your total ammo inventory in some Nordic country. You have to bring back casings to buy more ammo - solves two problems.

Probably dedicated vector/tensor coprocessors these days - which don’t have to work with your monitor layout or desktop setup!
