   Compose key, alt key codes, WinKey + . on Windows—there are many ways. It's also easy to do on most phone keyboards by holding down the hyphen key for more options.

   The only reason Chinese companies can even get away with these big projects is because of state backing and state objectives. By itself, the market doesn't support a new general-purpose OS at this point.

   And if so, is BitTorrent also completely illegal now, even if there's no piracy? IPFS? I2P? Tor?

   Do those laws even apply to P2P apps without central servers?

    PayPal security is amazing. It randomly locks people out of their accounts and randomly closes their accounts too, but actual fraudsters and criminals are never deterred.

    My ideal situation is one where anyone can fab simple processors at home the same way you can 3D print almost any small object with under $5000 in total expenses. Unfortunately that seems far away.

    Horseshoe theory is real, but there's also the fact that politics has more than one axis. Authoritarianism is the common denominator; only the details vary.

    At work or at home? At work, I'd argue the employer is mostly using it. Windows's problems are their problems then.

    Half of all Android manufacturers suck, and many users are lazy to update, so if you target the platform, you always have to support a bunch of random old versions.

    They're referring to the fact that Chinese game companies (Tencent, Riot through Tencent, etc.) all have executables of varying levels of suspicion (i.e. anti-cheat modules) running in the background on player computers. Then they&#x27

    They're still games for as long as we call casino games "games"; of course, they are basically digital casinos.

    This is wrong. Malware authors put in a lot more work to make their software look legitimate, even including valid version information and digital signatures.

    No firmware, no microcode. The NES uses an old 8-bit CPU and a few custom chips; at the time, including firmware would've been too costly (think of the RAM and ROM!).

    I agree, but we shouldn't end app stores entirely. I don't want to go back to the days of Windows in the 2000s where you always had to download random executables from websites to install software.
