Just to clarify here: kanji is the Japanese term for Chinese characters. Hanzi is the Chinese term for these characters. So when talking about Chinese characters in the context of China, use "hanzi" and not "kanji". Although if slashdot supported unicode, you'd be able to render the characters for hanzi and kanji and then see that they're the same characters.
That's not really true. All my PCs (laptop and desktops) that run Debian all boot using 64-bit UEFI. That means no need for real-mode shenanigans to finally get into 64-bit mode from 16-bit mode. ARM systems could have standardized on UEFI, but most of them don't use it. About the only ARM devices that do use UEFI are the server oriented devices and Microsoft's phone and tablet.
It's using Intel's Skylake processor. That requires a chipset that has IME on it, unless they were able to strike a deal with Intel and make their own chipset without IME, which is not likely.
Can you download pictures and videos via Safari? no
First, I assume you mean MOBILE Safari.
Based on the thread context, why would you infer otherwise?
Second, you have moved the goalposts; but I would imagine it depends on certain factors. However in Mobile Safari, if I "long-tap" on an Image, it brings up a contextual menu. One of the selections is "Save Image". If I choose that, the image (picture) goes to my "Photos" library. Sounds "Downloaded" to me.
Odd. I just tried this using my wife's iPhone 6+. There's no context menu popping up when I long press an image. Tried this with the same image on my Android phone and I get the expected context menu.
With videos, it appears you cannot download from Safari directly; however, GoodReader has web-browsing capabilities, and you can certainly Download (and Play) directly from that App. So, obviously, iOS doesn't keep you from Downloading video; they just didn't build that into Mobile Safari (that I know of). Chrome may allow it directly, although it doesn't seem to.
This is what irks me: why do I need a separate app for this when every other computing environment (eg Windows, Linux, Mac OS, Android) doesn't?
If that's too hard for you, may I recommend a Flip-phone?
Based on your ad homenim it's quite clear you place a high personal identity towards your phone environment. You may want to reconsider your priorities.
If car, airplane, and defense companies are added. Are these not considered "technology"? Is an F-22 not considered "technology" anymore? Why does software and computer hardware only get counted as "technology"?
Haven't driven a manual recently I gather? They all still have clutches. No manual (ie manual clutch, manual gear selection) is a semi-automatic but some automatics are semi-automatic (ie auto clutch (instead of torque convertor), auto gear selection)
The IT staff felt I was competent enough to be given Admin access to my machine. So I shrank the Windows partition and installed Debian in the empty space. Works great! I can do my work just as well on Debian as I can in Windows

You're supposed to have tiny programs do one job and do it well.
emacs would like to have a word with you.
Only 15 times? I can jump even more than that in four years.
Is there a technical reason for using Oracle over something else?
This is more a philosophical question along the lines of ship of Theseus.
All the components of your cells are replaced about every 7 years. Are you still the same person every 7 years?
You can get 2 Xeon E5 2670 CPUs for about $100 nowadays. Sure, Sandy Bridge is 6 years old, but they have great performance even today.
I mean, the more childrens' hands have been cut off from warlords mining these things means the love is greater.

This affects the Nextbit Robin, which is already bootloader unlockable (just run "fastboot oem unlock-go" and that's it).

I guess my phone is safe.
Close. We're up to Pentium Pro now, which was released in 1995. And patents last 20 years.

I fail to see how Linux is a bad platform for games when there's already a FreeBSD gaming platform (PS4) that does pretty well.

XFree86, no but X did exist though
Surgace tablet, I'm not sure why. Surface Pro, on the other hand, is pretty good hardware. I installed Debian on mine (Surface Pro 3).

I run FreeBSD on my laptop. I don't have camera drivers on this thing!
Cheapo Mini-itx system that has on-board ethernet with a wireless card adaptor. That's what I have at my house.
