Yup; three other points I'd add: 1) I hate to say "year of desktop Linux" like every year, but with the Steam Deck release later this year, and Valve's commitment to continue investing and collaborating on Proton to ensu

End-device security is always important; there would be nothing to stop the compromise and lift of, for example, cookies stored in the browser, or a keylogger to grab passwords.

That pricing is a ~70% markup over standard Azure rates. Companies typically buy laptops with an assumed 3 year lifespan; so, let's assume a high-end $3000 laptop, that would be ~$83/month. Of course, you need a computer to access

Both the iPhone 12 Pro and S21 Ultra have 5G radios (though their usage here is probably 80% on wifi, 20% on non-UWB 5G most days). My point is comparing their battery lives when they have the SIM in them. So, not which one lasted the longe

Its important to keep studies like this in mind when talking with people who refuse to take the vaccine because they "already had COVID". In a very real sense, if natural antibodies are durable, persistent, and effective; the vacc

Deliberate would mean, if you suspect or know you have COVID. In that situation you should definitely just stay home; this much is seemingly obvious, though apparently needs to be stated. Most people don't have COVID. Hard to believe,
