That's the wrong argument because if they infiltrate the local government then they will have access to locally collected data and won't need tiktok. Access to tiktok data gives China surveillance over US that could help in case o

And then people wander why software developers don't care to support Unicode properly. First 60,000+ characters made sense, than few more were needed and Unicode suddenly got to play with a 1,000,000+ and just went off the rails.

I think the rule should be: if the entity claiming the item obtained it through conquest originally, they don't get it back. If the item was created or purchased by the entity, they should get it back.

I think that if you have to ask questions like the iPhone equivalence then 1) you have inflation that is higher than officially reported and 2) inflation is not a problem for you or most of the people in your country.

I live in Australia too and while roundabouts are OK for low to medium sized road and even larger roads with even traffic they absolutely do not work for heavy and uneven traffic. I have seen a number of large roundabouts become a congestio

It seems to be very easy to write these kind of sensational titles, ask the question and regardless of what the answer is, the title sounds alarming: "Meta Doesn't Know Where All Your Data Is, Engineers Say" vs "Meta Kno

Apple is seen as premium brand by most of their customers who are willing to pay more just for that alone. Overpriced image is certainly justified based on price they charge for upgrades (8gb to 16gb, 256gb to 512gb etc). In my experience

But x86 is backwards compatible, it is Mac OS that is neither backwards nor forwards compatible. Windows NT4 up to v10 will run on anything from original pentium to latest 12 gen intel and most AMD CPUs. Windows 11 will also run on all 64b

Exactly, battery life alone is meaningless. With T550 you get a computer with decent keyboard. With M1 Max you get a Mac. Even the best quality Mac keyboard is completely unusable for me and the OS feels like it is fighting you at every c

Apple charges more for less and their users line up to pay instead of walking away. As long as this keeps happening, Apple will keep taking away and gouging their users. People are stupid and gullible so I think Apple is doing the right t

I don't understand why open source developers think they are owed anything by anyone. They chose to work for free and give away that work. In the process they killed any proprietary competition and therefore a chance for anyone to get

And now think about other countries conducting drone strikes on US soil as they see fit. It would be only fair, right? And what level of collateral damage would be acceptable in that scenario? 2000-3000 would be OK? Maybe 10000-20000 sin

That's the correct response. The "good" service you may have received has been ruined by excessive tip demand so the service is now "bad" and deserves smaller or 0 tip. Pay the workers a living wage, end the slavery

Just don't sign up for Google account and you don't get Google apps. Your phone is not as usable as it is with Google but it does work as a phone. Can you use iPhone without App Store and Apple account? I know Google collects da

I haven't seen an ad in in Windows system so far. Onedrive is MS cloud and backs up your files for free. Mac has full on telemetry where it logs every program you use every time you use it amd may stop you from using it. Apple is buil

The Apple excuse group on the other hand is both large and loud. You don't get to be a 1T$ company by giving your users what they want and especially not what they need. You do that by persuading them that your expensive thing is what

Melbourne to LA flight is currently 13-16 hours. This plane would cut it to around 8 if they could extend the range and it would make the flight bearable (I find that first 8 hours are OK but anything after that slowly turns to agony). But

I have tried the QubesOS and boy does it bring back memories of Windows being called Pentium to 286 converter. It is slow as molasses on hardware where even Windows 10 and Gnome are both fast and to make it usable you have to keep relaxing

Any chance you can add code completion to python terminal? That would make cuda-text a super-editor on the level of vim and emacs but easier to use.

There is a big unspoken caveat attached to that statement which is: if you can get clean water instead. If your options are to have dirty water or beer then beer is healthier for you at almost any age.

Can we really call any of the musicians and actors artists? They work in the music and movie industries and produce entertainment commodities. They are no more artists than someone making machine parts or assembling fridges.

Does it matter if it was sanctioned by UN? It was still an offensive action and not peace keeping one. I believe that Russia made a big mistake by invading Ukraine but that doesn't mean they did not have something to fear from NATO. Ma

The problem with history lessons is that pictures are b&w and static so it seems like it was all over long time ago and now we are OK. The problem with Iraq and Syria is that they are over there where wars always happen so it's not

That footage is not of a cluster bomb. Cluster bombs consist of many small bombs that spread over a large area and don't all detonate at once but instead detonate over longer period of time in order to maximize casualties and make area
