Is this actually a concern? If so, that's actually a huge deal to have so many people from an "enemy state" working in a field. Do you have any numbers or sources on that?

I always disable animations on my Android phones because everything so much snappier, even on high-end devices. Whenever somebody tells me they want a new phone because their old one is slow, I recommend disabling all animations. After that

Have you looked at a map? You are forgetting about Moldova, which already has Russian military bases "protecting" Russians in a small strip at the border to Ukraine, effectively occupying land. Then you are forgetting about Georgi

The old Windows Task Manager has code in it that killed other programs to be able to start so the user could kill more programs. I don't know if this feature still exists in modern versions since memory has increased so much but I alwa

My personal problem with Stadia was the lock-in. You were required to buy a game at full price on Stadia and were only allowed to play it on Stadia, a service for which you would've eventually had to pay a subscription fee. One can tel

Nobody would have prevented them from changing the ToS after a few years to not refund new purchases after date X. It would have been a bad signal but if the platform was successful people wouldn't really mind.

This is baseless speculation. Firefox already has more APIs than Chrome to support content blocking. E.g. DNS uncloaking and reliably blocking content loading on startup is impossible for extensions in Chrome.

There only needs to be a single miner that uses PoW and you can freely move your funds to other wallets. You can even start the miner yourself. So no, your funds are definitely not lost. You might be the only one connected to the "netw

How is it at risk? If something goes wrong you can always return to the old chain. The old chain will continue to exist anyways because some people dislike Proof of Stake.

I wish EVs were actually silent. In reality they are just as loud as a normal ICE vehicle above 20mph/30kph. The reason for this are the tires which have gotten so wide over the past decades that they are now the sole noise you hear fr

Airlines are already overbooking flights. The whole thing came up because airlines don't pay back customers in a timely manner. It can takes months to get your money back from airlines even when the airline is fully at fault.
