Good. And cut out the US American payment giants as soon as possible. Allowing them to control such a large amount of inter-EU payments is a huge security risk. Every country, or union of countries, should be in full control over its paymen

A bit funny, a software library focused on cryptography, where security is an afterthought rather than proactive effort. I would consider the alternatives before going to OpenSSL.

Very impressive! I didn't even know they were working on this.

Russia is a country of 140 million people. You must understand that it is not possible or sensible to suggest that Vladimir Putin spends day and night orchestrating and micro-managing the luck, life, fortune and misery of every single perso

Signal is already compromised. I don't understand why people still keep fooling themselves it's private and secure. It requires a mobile number, and thus your identity is known and your device is uniquely identifiable anyway, and

I hope they are right. The semi industry in Taiwan and Asia in general has been a boon for the world, with fast, high-quality manufacturing at great prices for anyone who needs it. The US has always sought to influence this to some extent w

Apple letting people know how they're championing environmental initiatives, all while their high horse is shitting out earpods and other disposable electronics at inflated prices like there's no tomorrow unless the billions roll

Pretty neat. I remember the Game Boy was alright, even with its blurry screen in four shades of snot, but IMO the Game Boy Advance was when handheld gaming got really interesting and engaging.

It sounds very strange that you would have so many problems with it, yet you used it "for years".

I don't buy it. Most likely the machine had not been wiped and reinstalled, and there was some real malware on it (probably a crypto-miner of some kind). It makes no sense that Lenovo's dev teams would add bloatware to a machine t

So the "greater good" as they phrase it does not include other primates besides ourselves? Or any other animals? That is remarkably unempathical and selfish.

Is this after all the other raises? Wasn't there a 20% hike last year when it was clear there was going to be a whole lot more doses needed? Don't be naive and think that Big Pharma's #1 priority is anything but money.

What happens to U-Boot now? Will it continue to live on, or will it be replaced by something else from another vendor?

Recycling and buying renewed or refurbished phones is good, but the fact that many phones are unsupported after three or sometimes even two years is a problem. Qualcomm has been a big culprit in this for many years now. They refuse to suppo

Happy to have left the mess that is grep, awk, bash, zsh, fish, etc. behind and just use Python for scripting.

You don't have unlimited text messages on your mobile plans? I've never ever heard anyone care about, discuss, or even mention chat bubble color. All of this sounds like something that only US American teens and kids would react t

Eating less (than the recommended 4 meals per day) seems beneficial too. Lunch at 12 and dinner at 18 seems to work very well.

What makes you say that? And this is not really about Adguard, it's about Microsoft, Cloudflare, and Edge.

"the U.S. tech sector leads the way in exporting technology abroad that embodies a commitment to a free and open internet." At first I thought the writer must have lived under a rock for the last 10 years, then I remembered that

Clearly, the UN's definition of war of conquest is too limited, and their perspective has intentionally been turned away from the atrocities and crimes the US has commited towards other countries. It does put the UN's credibility

If you're starting from scratch and C and C++'s momentum of decades worth of tooling and software libraries mean nothing to your project, then yes I think it's hard to motivate the use of C and C++.

Lua doesn't stand well entirely on its own. You could write command-line utilities with it, but if you're finally leaving the traditional masochism of using C and C++ for that, then you might as well go all the way to Python or Ru

Sort of like invading your own country, or shooting yourself with a gun would be an effective show of force?

No they're not. And the last time the Samsung battery scare play was attempted, it was verified to be forty or fifty phones, out of several millions sold.

Without a doubt US American sabotage. During the days and weeks leading up to Russia's move into Ukraine, the US rhetorized over and over again about Nord Stream. All the time the main issue was that the EU must not buy LNG from Russia
