You can still run it on qemu (even on ARM).

I still have a (translated) copy of that book!

This part of Zeiss probably wouldn't exist without ASML, and maybe one day when next-gen tech is out tbe exclusivity might be lifted...

IIRC there is also some IMEC research in those ASML machines (which might also have been partially EU funded)?

There is also launch windows etc. Not everyone can or wants to wait forever. And IIRC Ariane 6 can also bring up somewhat heavier payloads because they launch from closer to the equator?

Sounds like it might be illegal too...

there might be circumstances where it is price competitive in the market (certainly when launched from Kourou vs. the US).

In fact, F-Droid is infinitely better than Google's own app store, where almost all apps contain spyware...

by janc_ 3y ago
About 99.9% of apps in the Google Play Store contain spyware (and I doubt it's much better in Apple's store?).

by janc_ 3y ago
That's only true for some Android application stores.
103.
by janc_ 3y ago
That's possible with F-Droid (& Aurora Store, I think).

But that's what I mean: lots of ISPs have supported IPv6 for 1-2 decades. Most hardware & software already supported it a decade ago, and nobody should be using anything that old without updates. The only reason for an ISP today to

Latin (and ancient Greek) didn't have dedicated symbols for numbers, but at sone point the Romans started using a shorthand system based on existing alphabetic symbols, which we now call "Roman numerals". It's quite poss

When you throw all credible newspaper editors/owners and many credible opposition politicians in prison based on made-up charges, like Erdogan has done, there can't be fair & democratic elections.

As an American your chances are near zero. Also, they wil check your identity, so using a false name is almost certainly going to be a reason to be denied asylum.
115.
by janc_ 3y ago
Indeed, they will need to check your story, and that's a whole lot easier when they know your identity (otherwise they have to verify your identity in other ways, which will certainly take more time...).

In some countries almost everybody already did it. The way they did it is by starting 15-20 years ago, and making sure every new replaced device supports it.

If your ISP doesn't support IPv6 today, you should have switched to a competent ISP years ago.

ISPs in Belgium implemented IPv6 a decade ago (some even two decades). ISPs elsewhere could have done it too by now (nobody is still using 10+yo hardware, I hope...).
