The price difference in terms of manufacturing cost is immaterial. But if people can't afford a machine with 32GB anymore then they're going to suffer one with 8GB knowing from the outset that it's not enough and then have a

Ritalin is a chemical relative of amphetamine. In prescribed amounts it's often an effective treatment. In recreational amounts, ask your doctor about ΔFosB: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOSB#DeltaFosB

That's not the relevant part. The relevant part is, if you find it's doing something you don't want it to be doing, can you read and modify the code that does that ?

A fork is more expensive to maintain than funding/contributing to the original project. You have to duplicate all future work yourselves, third party code starts expecting their version instead of your version, etc.

AI training and the thing search engines do to make a search index are essentially the same thing. Hasn't the latter generally been regarded as fair use, or else how do search engines exist?

NTFS writing isn't that inexplicable. NTFS is a proprietary filesystem that isn't at all simple to implement and the ntfs-3g driver got there by reverse engineering. Apple doesn't want to enable something by default that coul

A large proportion of LPE vulnerabilities are in the nature of "perform a syscall to pass specially crafted data to the kernel and trigger a kernel bug". For containers, the kernel is the host kernel and now the host is compromise

Most of them actually wouldn't because they have no reason to do it and creating the mapping for no reason is work. Making the thing where you're not exposed to the internet the thing that lazy developers get by default is a win.

Things like this can be useful without 100% penetration. Most end-to-end apps support a direct connection as long as either of the endpoints have an open port. Endpoints without one can also fall back to relays, but since port mapping is
