Sure, and I don't believe anybody got banned from expressing their opinion over DMs. But if your DMs include threat, pushing for insurrection, pushing for violent action, etc, you will still be in violation of most website TOS.

Yes absolutely. The catch being that most company include a catch-all termination condition where they can terminate the contract whenever they want. It is then the justice who has to step in and say if those condition are valid or not. If

You can get ban over what you say in Twitter DM. Using your DM to harass someone is a bannable offence for example, and it should. I think it is perfectly normal that community want to have a certain quality and moderate for this reason. Ar

While I agree with you, I also think that the CPP was more than happy to have a lot of assets in foreign country owned by Chinese citizen. It give them a lot of soft power in foreign diplomacy.

I have to say, this is a really American view of unions. Here in Europe, I know a lot of people who love their company and are still part of an union. First of, yeah, you could "just go" if you don't like what the company is

It is not really inflated, they just use a different middle point. Lichess start you at 1500 and therefore, 1500 will be the median point of the distribution, Chess.com start you at 1200 so this will tend to be the median point. It is reall

The engine is not really the issue. They could develop the Frosbite Engine to handle proper Dirt racing physics. I think the main show stopper here is that EA doesn't make niche game. They make games that will sell millions of units. S

Isn't it just a rebranded TS80 ? EDIT: The tip and the base are %100 the TS100, so I guess they took the TS100 and added the USB QC of the TS80.

I would kill for a sbc with 2 M.2 slots. This allow for a incredibly small form factor NAS with good performance and reliability. I wonder why most SBC only use sata (when they even have a storage connector). Is M.2/PCIe so much harder
