Also register your own domain, then you can move it between different hosting without changing address... Relying on someone else's domain is only ever temporary, they could shut off the service at any moment or change the terms.
On the other hand a competent craftsman can produce much higher quality furniture than the cheap garbage built from reformed sawdust you get from most furniture retailers these days.
Well, having been to a large number of countries lately the only one that didn't insist on taking my laptops out the bag was myanmar... Several european countries did, USA did, most asian countries did.
Move to such a country and never leave it? Of course if you never leave the country there's little reason to use the airport at all. The primary purpose of an airport is to go to other countries, which will probably have different rules.
Which requires a powerful and power hungry CPU, probably complete with active cooling... Mobile devices won't be able to do it, or won't do it for long before the battery dies. TVs and STBs won't be able to do it as they typically contain low power general purpose processors, one containing a powerful general purpose processor would require active cooling and be noisy - not what you want while trying to enjoy a movie.
It will take a while before this will see much adoption, although its a welcome start.
An ARM SBC would fit quite nicely into the space previously occupied by an optical drive, which many laptops still come with but you're unlikely to ever use these days... You could then use that alongside the existing laptop hardware which will run just fine with the optical drive removed.
In business unless you're working in IT, the security of your work laptop will be out of your hands as well as generally not your problem. If your work laptop gets compromised and you didn't hand out your credentials or physical access to someone then the IT dept didn't do their job properly.
I travel all the time with 2 laptops, its a pain in the ass having to take them both out of the bag and put them in separate trays every time i pass through airport security... Funny thing is one is a new macbook pro with the touchbar, which has its own SOC already.
They share NO hardware whatsoever? So you laptop has 2 screens, 2 batteries, 2 keyboards etc? That's one weird and rather bulky laptop, i'd rather just carry 2 laptops around, maybe a small chromebook for internet access on untrusted networks.
Commercial cloud providers *DO* have an open door policy, anyone could provision a virtual machine on a public cloud and use it to try and snoop on other customers running on the same physical host, although it may be difficult to target who you might be trying to snoop on.
The annoying thing is that browsers (especially firefox) are now removing the older ciphers completely, and making it difficult or impossible to turn them back on. There are various old embedded devices we need to connect to which use insecure ciphers and even do stupid things like use small private keys, and there's no way to change that... The browsers need to implement configuration options to bring back all the weak ciphers so we can still manage these old legacy devices.
A centralised system like facebook is inherently bad simply because its centralised.. You put too much power in the hands of a single organisation, and as they say - power corrupts.
The usenet model, just like the email and web models, are both distributed and financed by the participants... You don't pay directly for usenet or email, but your isp probably provides those services as part of the subscription cost, and there are a variety of third party services also available under various different models. There's nothing stopping you from creating your own server either.
In canada... What about other countries? In Myanmar, _ALL_ commercial ISPs provide only natted address space, no ipv6, no routable ips not even dynamic ones. You have to buy a business line, which they won't provision to a residential customer so you'd also have to register a business, and then have to buy routable addresses on top of the base cost for the line (otherwise you are natted by default). The cost ends up being ridiculous. The reason for this is a simple lack of ipv4, it isn't possibly to provide customers with a routable address.
Many other places are in the same boat, your lucky to live in an area where there are independent isps available, many people don't have any choice of provider.
Moderation by someone else is censorship, it may start well meaning by filtering out blatant trolls but eventually it will degenerate into filtering to serve the agenda of whoever is doing the filtering.
Having large and powerful entities like facebook is clearly a bad thing, they have far too much influence and control... A distributed system is obviously a much better idea where users or groups of users host and control their own content...
However, what about the security implications of random people suddenly running their own servers? that's gonna end up as a mess...
And if you introduce regulation, then people will follow it grudgingly, while still trying to reduce cost, while also being at a financial disadvantage to those not encumbered by the same regulation. It's always a race to the bottom, with many people who don't even understand what they're racing.
Changing passwords regularly can often bad a bad thing, it forces people to remember new passwords which will result in them writing them down somewhere, or picking weaker passwords which are easier to remember. Having a strong password that doesn't change is often better, passwords should only be changed if there is suspicion of compromise.
Security *is* a cost, not just financial but also the inconvenience it causes. Most companies save money on security and then get lucky because no major incidents occur.
It's partly down to marketing from companies like microsoft... their whole push in the nt vs novell vs unix was that you didnt need to hire an expensive sysadmin...
Another factor is that the industry has expanded much faster than the talent pool, there simply aren't enough people with good enough skills to fill the available roles, so companies take whatever they can get. Identifying people with the appropriate skill is also hard unless you already have someone with such skills who can grill people properly in an interview.
Perhaps shatner himself or a publicist working on his behalf paid for the ad in order to draw attention. It wouldn't be the first time a fading celebrity did something to try and become relevant again.
Assuming the hoax actually started on facebook, and not somewhere else... Perhaps someone saw the news somewhere else and decided to share it on facebook?
What we need is not less information, but more, including education... People shouldn't believe everything they read regardless of where it comes from, they should always question what they hear and verify any claims.
Censorship is a slippery slope, and censoring provably false information is only the first stage because its easy to argue for... It moves on to censorship of extreme opinions, and then censorship of any opinions which are contrary to those of the censors...
For that matter most of us have no way to know for sure if william shatner or hugh heffner etc are dead or not, a statement online claiming william shatner to be alive *could* be written by shatner himself, but could just as easily come from a fake. All information should be treated with skepticism, you can do further research into the subject if its important to you or otherwise you can just not worry about it.
As things in the world are made safer, people seem to lose the ability to look out for their own safety and become totally reliant on others... Not to mention arrogance, many cyclists have an attitude problem and disdain for both pedestrians and vehicles.
So yes stupidity should be punished, why should society bear the burden of protecting people too stupid to look out for themselves?

Just add pti=off to your kernel command line and its off, but you can still benefit from any other updates going forward.

It's likely they want WSL to become a malware vector, so they can blame linux for the malware...

For those who are lucky enough to live somewhere they can use an isp that provides a service suitable for self hosting, yes.
Way too many caveats.
