TFA doesn't even mention USB. How many ports do they have? How many are USB 3.1 and how many are Thunderbolt?
Some nice new stuff, like them finally enabling secure boot. But major problems remain, like the crappy keyboard that is riveted in to the top of the shell so you have to replace the whole thing. Also the usual glued in battery and soldered on storage etc.
They just have to make fake account creation expensive enough that the problem is significantly reduced. For example, if they can spot when people are using profile photos harvested from other social media accounts then they will have to start investing a lot more time and effort in generating profile photos.
The other classic giveaway is claiming to be from Dudley when you only ever post from an IP address in St. Petersberg during Russian office hours.
Feedly is okay on desktop... I used to have terrible performance and lots of "Web 3.0" dynamic bullshit that broke your extensions and made scrolling choppy as hell. They kept making the UI worse too but now it's reasonable again, with the return of the article view mode.
On mobile Feedly is still pretty bad.
Google Reader was better. The UI was simple, performance was good.
RISC-V will probably never have performance even approaching x86. There is a lot to like about it, but you won't be seeing it used for high performance applications like games consoles or workstation CPUs.
The main reason is that the RISC concept itself turned out to offer much less flexibility for making optimizations on the CPU. A modern x86 CPU treats the x86 instructions as a kind of intermediate language that it dynamically translates into microcode operations on the fly, doing massive optimization in terms of concurrency and access to slow/contended resources like RAM.
With a RISC CPU the idea was to remove a lot of the opportunities for that kind of optimization, the belief being that such optimizations would be too complex for CPUs to do anyway and that the simpler architecture would scale better to higher clock speeds.
RISC-V does support out of order execution, but it's no-where near the complexity of what modern x86 does and the scope to reach that level just isn't there. On the other hand it's great for when you need energy efficiency or reduced complexity.
But now people will just moan that bitchure.com isn't as popular as youtube.com and they aren't getting their ad money.
It's not enough that there are sites that will let them post almost anything, they have to be on the most popular one and fully monetized by freedom loving advertisers or it's an Orwellian hellscape of leftist censorship.
You are triggered by people who are in favour of gun controls asking simple questions? Sounds like you probably shouldn't be allowed to have guns if you are so easily upset.
Similar thing happening in the UK, but we see that lots of legal immigrants get caught up in the net and it is almost impossible for them to fight it because doing so is expensive and requires evidence that they may not have read access to and because the immigration system is designed to discourage immigration.
For that reason I wouldn't be happy with my wife living in the UK even if she went through the immigration process and obtained all the necessary rights to live there.
And that's even before we start talking about if it is better to have a surveillance state or a path for illegal immigrants to legalize their status.
For example, the 4th guarantees the right to privacy of one's papers and domain. The 1st has freedom of assembly, which requires a certain amount of privacy to exist.
It seems to be from the PayPal Credit Agreement. Maybe she had a PayPal credit card or something, probably ran up the debts paying for costs associated with her treatment for cancer. Anyway, it says:
"We may close the Credit Account and demand repayment of the full amount you owe us if you die or become of unsound mind"
Dunno why they are likening it to Star Wars, they were clearly using some kind of plasma weapons in that movie. Lasers produce a beam that travels at the speed of light, but the Star Wars they shoot short burst of relatively slow moving plasma.
To be fair they consider the United Kingdom, rank 14, to be a "full democracy". That's despite the utterly broken electoral system (first past the post) and low participation rates.
Not to mention the recent utterly flawed referendum where illegal activity by the winning side was not detected until years later and so far little action has been taken over it.
Countries that consider healthcare to be a human right pay for it from taxation. It's exactly the same with other human rights like food and shelter.
The moment that you start demanding people pay for their healthcare it ceases to be a human right, because even if they can afford it there is a disincentive, often a strong disincentive, to exercise that right. The humane thing to do is treat them, and if they recover they can pay their taxes like everyone else.
If you want to get technical the 2nd mentions a well regulated militia... So yeah, hunting and sport isn't a protected use of firearms, only being part of this militia is.
Wow, even a simple inquiry is enough to trigger some gun nuts with mod points. Probably an indication that they shouldn't have guns of they are so sensitive.

So fuck off.
It's a shame you can't even have a calm, mature debate about this.

GCHQ you got mod points today? Or was this just my regular stalker?

So they made up a new sport to justify the ownership of weapons like the AR-15?
For example, the 4th guarantees the right to privacy of one's papers and domain. The 1st has freedom of assembly, which requires a certain amount of privacy to exist.
Privacy seems to be covered by the 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th amendments.
What specific privacy protections do you believe were created by judicial activism without constitutional support?

Is the "Fw:" suffix added to email a form of censorship? Did it lead to greater censorship?

Ah, the classic wetware exploit: user too lazy to carefully examine every file before installing.
You guys should try democracy.

Judicial activism is literally the latter - inventing new "rights" and "regulations" where none exist.
Can you give us an example of that?

Agreed, some countries have a rule where the correction must be equally prominent. Front page headline results in a front page apology.

Out of interest what sport is an AR-15 suited to?
And how does rendering a character crash the phone? Are they rendering fonts in the kernel?
I think there are too many protests, but only because our democracies are not working very well.
