I think it's unlikely one of those techs "wins" at all. It's relatively easy to support them all from a software perspective and so gamers will just use whichever corresponds to their GPU.

Yes, though a lot of research has been done to figure out its most important properties. A secret of its durability was just figured out last year. https://news.mit.edu/2023/roman-concrete-durability-lime-casts-0106

I think you're misunderstanding the comment you replied to.

The "do nothing congress" was a specific Congress back in the 40s — not a Congress that literally does nothing.

The do nothing Congress passed 906 bills. I believe the current congress has passed something like 68 three-quarters of the way through. That's the comparison the commenter was making.

Google can't operate Play Store in China because it closed its Chinese offices in response to China attempting to hack them (and several other corporations) back in 2010 (Operation Aurora).
