![]() ![]() ![]() On the other hand, with reserves of cobalt estimated at 0.5 million tonnes, Cuba is the third country in the world with the largest reserves of this mineral, which is especially present in the region of Moa, in the east of the island, and where it is extracted together with nickel (both minerals often occur in the same rock). The value of exports jumped significantly in 2017, almost doubling the previous year's sales to $141m in 2018 it reached $179m, while in 2019 it dropped to $134m. In 2019, nickel made up just over 11% of overall Cuban exports, destined primarily for China and a small percentage for Japan. Australia, Brazil and Russia follow, with reserves of 20, 16 and 6.9 million tonnes, respectively. Indonesia is the world's leading nickel producer, consistent with its reservation of 21 million tonnes. The Caribbean island has significant nickel reserves, some 5.5 million tonnes, but despite its comparative wealth, it only produced an estimated 49,000 tonnes in 2020. The production figure has remained stable since 2014, with a average of approximately 56,000 tonnes per year. According to the report According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) global forecast for 2021, Cuba ranks as the world's ninth largest producer of nickel and fifth largest producer of cobalt, positioning it as a major contributor in these areas.ĭuring the first decade of the century, Cuba produced around 70,000 tonnes of nickel per year, but production subsequently declined due to maintenance operations at the plants and the ups and downs in international prices (the drop in 2014, coinciding with the abrupt end of the then 'boom' in the price of hydrocarbons and some other materials, discouraged investment to increase extraction). Like nickel, cobalt is an indispensable metal in the manufacture of many electronic devices in electric cars and mobile phones, which has increased its demand in recent years. Nickel is a mineral employee mainly used in the manufacture of stainless steel, as well as in metal alloys in high performing and, more recently, in rechargeable batteries. Other metals or minerals, such as zinc, copper and iron, are also occasionally important in Cuba's exports, which are in any case headed by tobacco and sugar, although Cuba does not stand out in terms of their production worldwide. Cuba is among the countries with the largest reserves of these raw materials, which constitute some of the island's most valuable exports, especially in the case of nickel. The rise of new technologies and the shift towards a green energy system have led to a worldwide increase in demand for metals such as nickel and cobalt. However, the lack of capital to increase mining extraction hinders a greater economic impact of the sector. Cuba is relying on the recovery of a tourism industry that has collapsed due to the confinements caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, but the rise in the price of resources such as nickel and cobalt, as a result of international sanctions against Russia over the war in Ukraine, could also improve the Cuban state's income, as it aims to increase production of these metals. ![]() The increase in recent years in the international price of certain strategic metals and minerals that Cuba produces has brought slight relief to its sinking economy Economics. ![]()

![]() For this reason, Longhorn was reset to start work on componentizing the Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 codebase, and over time re-incorporating the features that would be intended for an actual operating system release. Faced with ongoing delays and concerns about feature creep, Microsoft announced on August 27, 2004, that it had revised its plans. Many of Microsoft's developers were also re-tasked to build updates to Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 to strengthen security. In some builds of Longhorn, their license agreement said "For the Microsoft product codenamed 'Whistler'". Gradually, "Longhorn" assimilated many of the important new features and technologies slated for Blackcomb, resulting in the release date being pushed back several times in three years. It was originally expected to ship in October 2003 as a minor step between Windows XP and "Blackcomb", which was planned to be the company's next major operating system release. Microsoft began work on Windows Vista, known at the time by its codename "Longhorn", in May 2001, five months before the release of Windows XP. Main article: Development of Windows Vista Windows Vista was succeeded by Windows 7. Mainstream support for Windows Vista ended on April 10, 2012, and extended support ended on April 11, 2017. The market share of Windows Vista fell below 1% by the end of 2021, coinciding with the release of Windows 11. On October 22, 2010, Microsoft ceased sales of retail copies of Windows Vista, and the original equipment manufacturer's sales for Windows Vista ceased the following year. However, Windows Vista usage did exceed Microsoft's pre-launch two-year-out expectations of achieving 200 million users, with an estimated 330 million Internet users in January 2009. Due to these and other issues, Windows Vista saw lower initial adoption and satisfaction rates than Windows XP. While these new features and security improvements garnered praise, Windows Vista was also the target of significant criticism, such as of its high system requirements, more restrictive licensing terms, lack of compatibility, longer boot time, and excessive authorization prompts from User Account Control. Windows Vista removed support for Itanium and devices without ACPI. ![]() NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the. Windows Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista introduced an updated graphical user interface and visual style dubbed " Aero," a new search component called " Windows Search," redesigned networking, audio, print, and display sub-systems, and new multimedia tools such as Windows DVD Maker among other changes. ![]() ![]() It is generally considered a market failure and major blunder, although initially sales figures were promising. On January 30, 2007, it was released globally and made available for purchase and download from the Windows Marketplace, the first release of Windows to be made available through a digital distribution platform. Development was finished on November 8, 2006, and over the following three months, it was released in stages to computer hardware and software manufacturers, business customers, and retail channels. At the time, this 5-year gap was the longest time span between successive releases of Microsoft's Windows desktop operating systems. Windows Vista is a major release of the Windows NT operating system developed by Microsoft as the direct successor to Windows XP, which was released in 2001. ![]() ![]() This culminates in a challenge so silly as to be surely a joke - you must drive the shuttle precariously balanced on the back of a vast platform, such that accelerating to 5 kph too quickly causes the spaceship to topple over and explode. The game's last few sections involve getting a space shuttle ready for launch, which sounds far more exciting than it is, instead involving even less involved tasks than you've encountered previously. Which makes no sense, considering the engine seems to be able to accurately swing the hook around. Using a crane to move four containers from one place to another is immensely dull, and the only possibly interesting bit - getting the crane hook into place - is done for you. ![]() Make sure you don't spill any out! Except goodness knows what you'd have to do for that to happen, considering the way I wildly off-roaded to get back. After digging up a couple of tons of silicon rock, you're then tasked with putting it in a massive tipper truck (we're talking ladders to get on board scale) and driving it over to the plant. But then when operating the enormous digger-wheel-doodah (it really made an impression, you can tell), it's a colossal mess of a broken engine, as you watch the metal structure impossibly slide into the rockface, then be told you broke it when seemingly far more appropriately placed. It's still kind of fun to pootle about in the spectacularly huge bucket-wheel excavator, driving what looks like an on-land oil rig to mine rocks out of a nearby cliff-side. It's a shame, because the novelty of controlling such enormous apparatus could have been quite the thing. Apparently that's a big part of large-scale industrial work - plugging in batteries. The result is a very silly set of tasks set in slow-motion, with no real sense of operating the heavy vehicular machinery, but quite a lot of climbing ladders and plugging in batteries. And perhaps worst of all, despite implementing a physics engine, you don't actually ever hook anything, or pick anything up - it's done automatically by putting one thing in the proximity of another, and a little countdown clock ticking off. Operating a crane takes about ten minutes to manoeuvre it into place, but setting a machine's fuses into the correct position is a puzzle minigame. This is a game in which you're required to repeat the exact same dull, achingly slow task four times in a row, but you can climb ladders at 5 metres per second. But the game opts for this utterly berserk approach to embracing realism, with its focus entirely placed on the banality of such industrial work, and not in the simulation thereof. ![]() Provide a series of enormous vehicles to drive about in a story scenario tangentially linked to launching a shuttle.

I will admit that I have not hitched a ride on the Enthusiasm Simulator 2018, whether genuine, ironic or post-ironic, for your bus driving, truck trundling, bus stopping simulation games. Here's wot I think of Giant Machines 2017 : Do your vehicles require ladders to get on board? Do they have enough surface area to host a cocktail party? No? Pshah I say.
