Even if you agree with the OP, there's a large portion of applications where it simply doesn't matter if the quality of the software is good or terrible as long as it sufficiently works.

Please scan your asshole to use the toaster.

It's to save the kids.

We care about the kids. We don't bomb them.

Not to Europe.

KSA -> Europe.

UAE -> Wherever it wants.

Gulf -> India and China client states.

KSA can get most of their oil to the Red Sea in 2-3 years (like 90%+). By the end of the year, they should be able to get >50% there.

UAE can get ~30% through Oman now, and probably ~75% in 3-4 years.

Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar are screwed without the straight. Qatar could probably work a deal with KSA to get all of their oil through its pipes to the Red Sea if need be in 2-3 years, but they'd pay a premium.

If I had to guess, I think this will structurally push KSA and UAE to move out of the straight, and for anyone in the straight to be tied to China and India.

I imagine Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Iran are all going to become Chinese and Indian client states.

North & South America now have a major oil & natural gas surplus. Their total usage is declining and production is increasing.

Meanwhile, the EU, Japan, SK, etc are moving towards renewables & nuclear as fast as they can.

China's probably reached peak fossil fuel imports already.

This is awesome.

I wish more companies would do showcases like this of what kind of load you can expect from commodity-ish hardware.
