Which country do you operate in? One issue in some of the Western world is that your IP becomes blacklisted by some websites. There's also the issue that some ISPs cut you off for running a relay (yes, not an exit node).

> 3. There's no reason a dedicated x86-64 dongle can't be sold for ARM-powered Macs that need to run software that hasn't been ported yet. It would be a spectacular coup if those x86-64 dongles had chips made by AMD but I

The ISA is defined by ARM, vendors can't directly change it. The actual properties of the chip is up to the vendor e.g. cores, caches, subsystems.

Debian aarch64 has been working well on the Raspberry Pi for a while now. Good to see Raspbian catching up.

There have been studies which suggest that phishing your own staff has significant negative effects. I have trouble finding the study names but the NSCS website has a good article about it: https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/blog-post&

As the sibling comment mentioned, it's a very slow network and known Tor entry nodes are blocked in certain countries. The network could become faster if more people around the world ran relays, but it's becoming more difficult to

Not just price and speed. The original motivation behind RISC was to make a chip that was simple enough to fit all the functionality onto one die. However, chips have been on a single die for many years, so that's no longer an advantag

Before your comment I thought the more likely reason that Microsoft qualifies games is to reduce the amount of development and support effort needed for their emulator. Even Halo 1 struggled to get some good framerates, IIRC.
