I think you're misrepresenting (or misunderstanding) the matter. WhatsApp can be installed on any device. iMessage requires specific hardware, i.e. an Apple iPhone. It is always possible not to use either and just communicate by SMS

The reason "ordinateur" is used in French, is that IBM coined that word because "calculateur" (the regular modern French translation of "computer") sounded too mundane. "Ordinateur" suggests sorting,

No, it's an old French word for "to calculate/to count". Today the French word for that is "compter" (and a counting machine is a "compteur").

You don't need anything else than one leading zero to have a non-ambiguous year number. 01998 will stay unambiguous even in the year 019980, and in the year 0199800, etc.

Why nickel? I can't find an explanation on this page, maybe it's simply ease of manufacturing. Iron is the most stable element, but I suppose this is mostly irrelevant at the kind of scales we are talking about.

I think Anglo Canadians like to think they are polite, but I have no idea where that comes from. They're certainly not polite with French speakers in any case.

As far as I understand, these dreams are because your body is catching up for all the missing REM sleep your didn't have before. So you have a lot more REM sleep for a while because you need it, and REM sleep normally goes along with v

What the comment suggested is that the company deliberately created tools using their own API in a wrong way in order to write a blog post about it . If that's not an accusation of being malicious I don't know what could be.

To add a counterpoint, my Macbook Air from 2011 (model A1370 IIRC) running Linux is totally usable and I do use it as a daily driver (well, not daily but I use it on the days when I need a small laptop, which is several days a week). I su

I'm still not sure why. The section doesn't really answer the actual question. It's cheaper, good enough, replacement parts are cheap, and I understand that argument; I myself use alternatively some kind of very old Thinkpad

I thought in most countries of Europe laying off pregnant employees was just not possible. It's the case in France ah least.

Well I don't know the frequency, but it is easily noticeable to me on most modern cars when moving my eyes. It's definitely not a question of aftermarket modules. The PWM I use at home on an ESP32 is supposed to be in the 1-10 k

I think at least the profile of illnesses must have changed. I spent a year on a rather isolated base on an island, with about 50 other people. Hygiene was certainly not as good as it is here in the civilised world as we often didn't h

This isn't a ban on ICEs, just on new ones. Existing ICEs will likely stay on the road until the 2050s, they will eventually get banned from city centers but many ICEs are already banned (my previous car was banned in 2020 in my city

Since we're telling anecdotes on Samsung appliances, well I have to say my Samsung fridge bought in 2008 works just fine today. It's just a fridge though, not much to go wrong with that I guess.
