For anyone that did watch the TV series "Max Headroom" along with watching a lot of faked memes this with Deepfakes isn't even a concern.
People are getting immune to that shit, the only problem is that people don't trust politicians at all these days. And only the snowflakes cares about whatever Trump says, the rest of us look at the others around him. Especially Mattis is one to watch to see where the wind is blowing, but then you'd have to watch for very subtle hints instead.
At least buttdials can be amusing. But otherwise I agree - all the junk calls made have effectively killed the telephone system. Long gone are the days when a phone call was usually a positive experience.
The phone companies are part of the problem regarding this when they allow fake caller IDs and junk calls. Short term profit provided by allowing a call to be established no matter what is turning into the long time loss of subscribers and people changing to secret numbers so that they aren't listed in the phone directories.
Email is damaged by spammers. Slashdot is also suffering from spammers, especially the APK spammer. It used to be goatse links as well, but it seems like they have diminished.
I can fully understand speculative execution with the processors of today when you can do a lot of parallel complex work and then throw away the results you don't need at the moment. This can lead to a vulnerability similar to the Enigma machine. Not exactly like it, but a remote similarity.
One of the vulnerabilities with the Enigma was that the output character could never be the same as the input character. So if that occurred then you as a code breaker could scrap that message decoding attempt and try again.
If you have a problem with reality - then you may have to move to a secluded area with limited connection to the rest of the world. Maybe become Amish?
The problem in a sandbox is better seen in Europe where the Euro is building tensions rather than relieving them. Earlier it was Greece that was the problem, now Italy is sailing up as the next big problem with a debt of 130% of the GDP.
Virtual currencies like Dogecoin, Bitcoin, Monero etc. with no actual backing at all will be like ping-pong balls in a hurricane, flying all over the place rendering some people winners and others losers.
One way to at least ensure that customers aren't completely tied into one supplier is to use a layered approach so that the cabling is separated from the service provider which in turn is separated from the content provider.
Right now the goal is to control the customers by making sure that cables, content and connection service is through one single provider and you as a customer have no choice.
In which case it's worth considering a completely different CPU since the CPU contains proprietary software anyway - the microcode that controls the hardware.
If there are breaking changes it's a good reason to consider some other solution. The problem is that some PHP code isn't easy to fix even if you get the info about what's a breaking change because the PHP code is not always even human-readable except for the person that did write it - and that person has moved on.

Put all nicotine stuff as prescribed drugs.
And some other apps push hard for you to install Chrome when you install that app.

OpenVMS for life in the security realm.
Alzheimer on devices - here we come.
They just started to use Cleartype and the fuzzy fonts.
Both cleartype and fuzzy fonts gives me a headache so I have to use uBlock to revert to the browser default when I run Firefox.
The importance of a meeting is inversely important to the number of participants.
Until you crack the display from a simple bump.
I have a CAT S60 and that is fulfilling all my needs and it do have a bezel that actually protects the display. Now there's the S61.
Regardless of which language you use you'd end up with C or Assembly in the bottom.
I'm not sure if Rust is the way to go or if some different language is better. VMS/OpenVMS is using a large chunk of BLISS.
Another alternative I'd think of is Erlang. Or Prolog.
For the future - think outside the box. And that may not mean C, C++ or any of the traditional procedural languages.
Censoring the reality never makes sense.

Most English profanities are quite bland anyway.
And if I run my own mail server?
What category do I fall in?
I was actually 3 then - and not aware that it was happening at the time.
It may come, but this isn't bad - if someone could filter out the 60Hz AC noise on at least one of the recordings it would be even better.
A lot of the time it's just silence.
So I think that some post processing would make these recordings more accessible to the public.

How can we have a moon if the world is flat?
Screw the poles - bury the cables instead. A lot less maintenance even though it's more expensive.

Still not as bad as PHP. Going up from Java 6 to latest Java is a walk in the park compared to PHP.
Too long, but it's because newer versions breaks backward compatibility making old fully working stuff fail if they upgrade PHP.
Not everything is fixable since PHP tends to be "write only" code except for those with stamina and patience.
Just wait for a Russian to publish it.
