McAfee is not Russan, just like Instagram is not Chinese (I thought it was clear enough).
Yes it’s a clear reference to TikTok, which I don’t like for many many reasons, but none of those reasons is why it was banned, it’s because it’s Chinese.
But is not Russian, just like Instagram is not Chinese.
The reference to Minority Report is right in the subtitle:
The social media app might get hit with a federal lawsuit before its ban officially begins as the FTC has issued a warning for possible future crimes.
and apparently the FTC statement includes these words:
violating or are about to violate the law.
I mean, I also don’t really like TikTok and have a hard time picturing an adult using it as well, but that doesn’t mean it should be held accountable for “future crimes”. At least, that’s what the article is claiming…
That’s possible, I’m using Firefox, is that something firefox would do?
The site does use https for me… it instantly redirects from http to https
From the article:
Herinckx said his focus is on consumer goods not covered by sanctions. Reuters found no evidence that his firm was violating sanctions.
His business might be of dubious morality but it might not be illegal, so I’m not sure the government can do much.
I’m very confused as well.
Harris had never had a driver’s license—only a state ID—and in fact had had his driving privileges suspended last year.
How can you suspend someone’s driving privileges if they never had them in the first place?
Ok, so, no official support for Windows 10, but can you still install and run Windows 10 and renouce whatever “support” or will it just not work?
I agree with the sentiment, but I think the article meant “service” in a more general way. For example, developing software for sale, to be used offline and/or on device rather than cloud, can also be considered a service.
When I saw “Copilot Recall” I initially thought they recalled Copilot … one can dream
The guide is suggesting to install microG, an open source reimplementation of Google services that even many “degooglers” use.
While that might be true, it doesn’t look like The Verge was sponsored by any specific ebike company to write this article, since they never mention any specific brand.
Edit: actually after scrolling down enough, they did interview people from some ebike company. Still doesn’t look (too) sponsored
Maybe I should’ve specified that it was unlocked via the official “OEM Unlock” switch provided by Samsung. Yes, there are Samsung phones that can be unlocked, though you’re right, many cannot be (usually US versions).
Yes, and up to not long ago, also completely different hardware (exynos vs snapdragon). US samsung devices usually cannot be bootloader unlocked. Rest of the world usually can. No idea why.
I’m writing this from a samsung with unlocked bootloader.
Hmm, good to know, I’ll have to try, just out of curiosity. Is that available on Windows Home or just Pro? Anyways, it’s not something that many people would easily figure out, so for most non-technical people they effectively cannot disable them.
Windows lets you pause updates for some time, maybe a week or so, after that you’re going to take them whether you like it or not. Granted, you had a week or so to prepare, so it’s ok to some extent, but don’t tell me Windows doesn’t force you…
I love linux and been using it for decades, personally and professionally, but no, linux doesn’t have “hot patching” the same way as that article describes it. At most it can live patch the kernel (and only few distros actually use that), but definitely not for the last 20 years, and definitely not running processes. However, it does usually restart background processes after an update without requiring a reboot, but in my experience, often times the system becomes unstable after several such updates and rebooting is effectively necessary (though not forced, and that’s why I like it).
While that’s true, short term (vacation) rentals existed well before airbnb, they just weren’t so prevalent.
