Nothing that the US or any other country has done justifies China’s actions. This isn’t a contest to see who’s worse. Your entire argument here is tangential to the fact that China’s actions have been ridiculously abusive. Has my own countr

Water damage isn’t covered by Apple’s warranty. You can pay extra for AppleCare+, which covers accidental damage; however, you can do the same for just about any phone, and have been able to do so for years.

In theory, this should have lower efficacy than bit flips elsewhere in the domain. Periods aren’t actually sent in DNS queries, so you’re decreasing the number of places in memory where the necessary bit flip could occur. The equation chang

Indeed, it is. I didn’t want to sound like a fanboy, but damn, his work is amazing. I don’t know how he has the patience and dedication for half the work he does. And that’s not even to mention the quality of his write-ups.

There’s really nothing stopping one developer from pushing a commit purporting to be from another developer. You can put any name or email address you like in each commit. However, that’s something that should be caught during review, so it
