    That kind of shit probably did not happen in the Amiga and Atari ST era, though.

    And if you want, nothing prevents you from removing the ROM (which was socketed at the time) and write the OS to a new blank chip.

    I think we can trust pre-ME and pre-PSP processors, maybe.

    Another solution is building a system with older parts. Was there ever any security concerns with, say, VIA processors such as the C3?

    I think the only secure systems are old computers from the 16-bit and 32-bit era, something with the OS in ROM and thus cannot be modified.

  7. And this is why Apple is losing Safari users on All Major Browsers Now Support WebAssembly (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    The last ones to ship WebAssembly in the stable branches were Apple in Safari 11.0

    Safari 11 which requires the latest version of macOS, unlike Chrome which happily runs on OS X 10.9.5, the last true version of OS X before it all turned into iOS-like crap with a dead-flat user interface, nearly-identical pastel colours everywhere and unreadable fonts unless if you're over 20.

    I think Reddcoin was created exactly for that purpose. Adding Dogecoin wouldn't be a bad idea either. They're both coins that have more or less held their value over multiple years, unlike others which crashed and burned (i.e. mooncoin, flappycoin).

    Most coin mechanisms can be calibrated for either USA quarters or Canadian quarters. Bad ones will sometimes jam if you use the wrong type.

    I don't know about the rest of your post, but if you're paying 100$ for a quarter, you're getting screwed. A quarter is only worth 0.25$.

    software being adapted (a replacement for Exchange, hopefully)

    There's not a big chance of that ever happening because it's a business application and nerds only want to play with file systems, graphical user interfaces, image editors, etc. You'll have thousands of commercial-quality Linux-only games before you have a Linux-only version of something even closely similar to Microsoft Exchange.

    The Linux community trying to "fix" the problem of adoption by fussing around with file systems and GUIs is like the Windows community trying to "fix" Windows by adding LED lighting to their computer cases.
