If that is a differentiator in the market that allows them to charge more upfront, obviously not.

> a Palestinian has no governing authority allowing it to issue a passport Statelessness is technically illegal according to international treaties, so the lack of specific documentation does not necessarily means lack of citizenship.

I fear my slashdot joke was not appreciated. Infamously, a post on Slashdot once stated (probably 20 years ago) "OpenBSD is dead, Netcraft confirms" - Netcraft's methods were then widely ridiculed, and obviously OpenBSD conti

There is another type of stock: immaterial social capital. As long as Apple products are status-symbols, owners gain social relevance from their ostentatious use. This is why brands promote themselves way beyond what is necessary to just se

That's just because the GDPR applies to the richest market on Earth (by some metrics), which won't be the case for anything regarding Vietnam.

Tbf, a lot of those victims were due to dubious strategic choices. They could have probably conceded Stalingrad, for example, and refused to simply because of the propaganda angle. That battle alone was an absolute meat-grinder, and didn&#x

Spirit-of-the-law practice means most honest judges would quickly throw out this sort of technicality-based argument, particularly in the anglosphere. Sadly, depending on the specific country it happens in, a defendant might still have to p

Afaik, a random WiFi wouldn't be able to exploit local-execution bugs - it would have to use remote exploits, which are harder to pull off, or limit itself to network eavesdropping. USB drives, on the other hand, can trigger execution

You should read up about the corporate shenanigans at Commodore. The company was effectively self-kneecapped by uninterested suits; they would likely not have survived regardless of any development in the field. Amiga had good 3D games befo

The Amiga was not originally meant to be a game console - the Amiga 1000 launch event featured Andie Warhol and Debbie Harry ("Blondie") using the computer to make art. For a period, the Amiga was the gold standard for video FX in

Not if that someone was a neofascist with an agenda to rewrite relatively minor history. Sadly that happens, and it happens a lot more than most people realize. It's way too easy to fake a reputation on Wikipedia.

Great news. Bitwarden is very cool, but the mobile experience always felt less polished than alternatives - which is why I don't recommend it to my non-geeky acquaintances. Hopefully that won't be the case in just a few months.

As sibling comment says, you'll be disappointed - and worse, unlike on Windows or Linux there will be no way to change things you don't like. With Apple, it's their way or the highway. For example, they just don't do the

This philosophy emerged later, when GNOME tried to differentiate. In the first few versions it was as flexible as KDE, it had fewer trinkets only because they came later and had to catch-up. It was only with version 3 that they went "f

That's not right, and that's not what the post says either. There are strong elements of originality in later-wave punks too, across various media, up until the mid-80s. The first punks didn't even have mohawks or leather jac
