Multiple user is available on Samsung. Both multiple profiles as well as work profile. Samsung also has "secure folder" which isolates apps and files and presumably uses multiple users to do the isolation.

Alcohol-free mouthwash is even more likely to cause tissue damage because they almost all contain SLS. Some people are more sensitive to it than others (causing the mucosa to peel) but it causes mild damage to everybody.

UTF-16 is both simpler to parse and more compact than utf-8 when writing non-english characters. UTF-8 didn't win on technical merits, it won becausw it was mostly backwards compatible with all American software that previously used AS

That kind of fake self-aggrandizement-delusion-driven story telling is part of the autistic trans subculture. That particular subculture tends to speak of themselves as goddesses, wizards, or other higher beings. Their websites are usually

I wish 7-zip would support .tar.gz the way WinRAR does. WinRAR allows you to browse a .tar.gz without extracting it, 7-zip extracts the .tar to a temp file. It makes working with large .tar.gz files impossible. (Yes I know that because of h

Yandex.com has divested from yandex.ru and the former is nominally not based in Russia. I personally believe they are still 100% managed by Russia, as I'm sure you do, but this is all feels and not facts. Facts is yandex.com isn't

For better or worse there's an immense amount of anonymous developers behind major projects that you likely rely on a daily basis. I wish more core projects had a policy of no anonymous people in the core team at least, but it is what
