Not illegal, but the incorrect amount of taxes will be paid. Also, the financial statements will not be entirely correct. So, not illegal in the sense of "not allowed", but in the sense of "legal requirements and obligations

I fully agree with that. Sadly there is always the odd application out there that uses the lower level stuff and is therefore tricky to get to run on Wine. Or more recent Windows versions for that matter.

Shitty business software is rather the result of changing and murky requirements, prioritization, and bad quality control. AI tools can help good developers be more productive, but they won't magically make a mere domain expert able to

Did that involve boot on the grounds or just shelling via cruise missiles or from air? Also, Yemen is poorer, but has more or less the same population as Saudi Arabia.

Things like washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, air conditioners, or fridges spend a lot of energy by running powerful electrical motors, which should benefit from AC. Everything else I can think of in a typical household is basically a

The API underneath the Win32 API, the Windows Native API, is not necessarily stable and therefore not intended for direct consumption by applications.

Unfortunately these two things have been the major drivers of politics of the last 80 years in the region.

How to identify a vessel as Iranian though? They can just register it in a Caribbean country and give it a less suspicious name.

Most nations who are affected don't have a blue-water navy or similar means to pose a serious threat to Iran. They have to either back the USA or deal with the toll and the uncertainty that comes with it.

> what has already started, is already started -- I agree on Trump being dick, but does that make iran's "making new enemies" a wise move? There is no downside on making the Gulf states enemies. Quite to the contrary: they

The Gulf states are not any more willing than the USA at invading Iran with ground troops. The only thing that changes by making them angry is that slightly more missiles fly into Iran. Which is already accounted for and won't magicall

The really valuable CRUD monkeys are already domain experts as well. The threatened ones are junior developers whose output is barely better than AI slop.

Steam and most other nontrivial applications use other open source components internally. Those need funding as well.

It's an unfair fear since architecturally Wine sits at the same position as the Win32 API on Windows, which also in the end merely uses the underlying native system calls. The only difference is that Linux aims to keep its system call

Any appliance with strong motors should be more efficient with AC supply. But almost anything else can be regarded as a heater that doesn't care much as long as it is fed with the correct voltage. Which is actually the core issue. A DC

The typical IoT company not surviving the typical lifecycle of their products shows that IoT is a seriously dorked up idea. Anybody deploying them who values security should choose products that can be updated even after the vendor is gone.

Last time I checked, only the US and Israel. Europeans don't want anything to do with this war, and the USA's East Asian allies also like it not even a little bit.

The risk of being targeted by missiles or drones works just as well. There is a reason NATO has to patrol the Red Sea with warships.

They don't really care what happens afterwards. They openly admitted that a Libya-like situation would be preferable compared to leaving the current regime in power. Whether that's actually a strategically valid assessment is a co

Quite the contrary: an empty countryside would make invasions harder because there would be no infrastructure: no roads, no bridges, no tunnels, no electricity, no water supply, no opportunities for shelter. Everything would have to be ship
