    Try your precious (country) dollar bill and try spending it in (another country) store. You will get out of the store empty-handed.

    All I know is that you can trust Dogecoin to hold its value of 1 Doge = 1 Doge.

  4. Informative: It's been that way for iOS and Macs for a few years now. Not having to grab your phone to reply to a message is extremely helpful.

    Trolling: Granted it only works for iMessage, but people on Linux/Windows/Android don't matter.

    Either encryption works for everyone, or it works for no one.

    In the end, calling unbreakable encryption an "urgent public safety issue" is pointless.

    Why are cars lacking security features against terrorists?
    Why are guns lacking security features against terrorists?
    Why is cash lacking security features against terrorists?

    The FBI/CIA/NSA does not only want to access the devices thieves/killers/terrorists, they want to spy on EVERYONE.

  11. My guess is, this looks like something Apple asked for specifically.

    I guess we'll know in a few months, if they finally update the Mac mini and the MacBook Air.

    There wouldn't BE buffer overflows if companies would use my simple idea: only sell computers with infinite RAM and infinite memory address registers.

  17. It seems that particular AMD bug can by disabled/bypassed by a BIOS/UEFI update, so the suggestion is still valid.
