Yes, it would be difficult. Certainly not impossible, but difficult. Microsoft has their MAUI project (Multi-platform App UI). It lets you write programs in C# and compile for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. AvaloniaUI and Uno Platform ar

That's the thing: the depositors are now unsecured creditors of SVB. The problem is that they don't want to be unsecured creditors. They want to be secured creditors. They will get some of the proceeds of their loan, if there are

Accounts generally have a daily withdrawal limit at ATMs. If you're traveling with $18,000 in cash, that's probably well above what you can withdraw from an ATM in a day. I think a lot of accounts have ATM limits of $300-1,000 per

SF has some crappy stuff, but putting up rural America as an example of how things are good is quite a take. Religious fundamentalism, racism, homophobia, and outright Nazism are taking over a huge portion of rural America. A huge portion o

MAUI has had some growing pains and the rumors are that it's just a small team working on it at the moment. I think Microsoft may have bit off a bit more than they bargained for in part because they wanted to maintain a clear upgrade p

I think the issue is that the bandwidth is shared. One of the things Xfinity is working on is moving to mid/high-split DOCSIS 3.1 which increases uplink speeds by allocating a larger frequency range to uploads. Even with mid or high-sp

Apple seems to be taking a wait-and-see approach with AV1. Sure, they're an AOM member, but lots of companies are members of bodies that they aren't enthusiastic about. I'm not saying that's the case with Apple. I'm

Reddit's always been a bit of a weird site in this regard. Most sites closed off a long time ago and put so many ads everywhere. Old Reddit is still alive 5 years after the redesign and it's been so easy to avoid ads on Reddit in

I'm guessing it's more about going public. Anyone who is using Apollo (or similar apps) isn't seeing ads and isn't giving Reddit lots of stuff they can track. For a long time, Reddit had allowed much more user-friendly a

Possibly, but it seems like this this would be pretty easy to detect. First, they should already know who has been sharing accounts. You haven't been having other households VPN to your local network for the past 5 years for Netflix. T
