Just buy aluminum foil tape (or use aluminum foil + regular tape) and cover them all. Aluminum foil blocks all light and is thin and cheap. You can also cover windows in places without effective light blocking devices like roller shutters.

If Adobe is cooperating, why not get them to compile Flash to WebAssembly or provide the source code, rather than using an x86 emulator?

Seems the root cause is that instead of using an established system like Kubernetes, they rolled their own and didn't engineer and test it as well as such an endeavor would have required.

Seems not a bug: you may want this behavior, and the proper way to stop recording is to close the website or the app, not locking your phone.

The problem is that they are currently not mandatory (at least in most countries). I think Apple and Google should make contact tracing built-in and on by default, plus ideally there should be enforcement of activation by all places that re

Possibly because initially the open source software will be significantly worse than the proprietary software and thus won't get any sales, and it will only be better with a lot of contributions, but then it's already freely avail

You can use the phone as an access point, and then have an additional secure wi-fi device. A wi-fi only Android tablet that doesn't require proprietary blobs to run vanilla Linux might do.

I think they have the capital to buy enough copies of all books in existence to allow effectively unlimited lending of not recently released books.

You should also switch to Linux (or Windows with WSL if you insist on running a proprietary OS).

That seems quite a risky strategy as well, because it could backfire: if the court declares even just that controlled digital lending is legal, more companies and bigger companies may start offering it (e.g. Google that already has the scan

If the books were not being sold as digital copies, maybe they could invoke fair use due to the pandemic making other ways to access the books impossible. That said, the best avenue would seem to be a PR campaign with a call for a boycott a

It does as long as the programmer uses it properly (i.e. you don't use atomics weaker than SeqCst or unsafe code with shared + mutable accesses unless you have proven that it's correct).

For a useful comparison you need the static and dynamic distributions to be otherwise the same, i.e. you want to pick a mainstream distribution and build it from scratch with both static and dynamic linking and compare.

A better way to do this analysis would be to build a Linux distribution with everything statically linked and compare to the normal version with dynamic linking, looking at disk space used, startup time, memory used, and time to launch spec

Would this be solved by making it mandatory for all aircraft to have a HUD with an artificial horizon? Also it seems like a level 5 autopilot should be possible, and obviously making that mandatory would be a perfect solution.
