This is of course just my opinion, but no horrors, imaginable or otherwise, that the Japanese could've possibly orchestrated at the time, with the means they had available, would've come close to the devastation caused by the bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

It's a different article, this one from cnn, the one you linked from nytimes. Yes, they are about the same story, but it's not a duplicate.

I don't claim to know what happened, but China's super secretive behavior on it at the beginning, as well as being super controlling when the WHO delegation went to investigate, are enough reasons for me to strongly suspect it. No, I don't have evidence, and I'm not following the scientific method, and there can be other explanations, but humans are humans.

More like xenophobia, really. If you're a black tourist from the USA ready to spend money, they'll love you.

Fun fact: as I discovered, "continents" are defined differently depending on which country you're in, they are not the same worldwide. In Europe, America is a big continent and includes both north and south, and the continent including Australia is called "Oceania". In "America" (USA), there's North and South America as separate continents, and the continent including Australia is called .. Australia... and yes, the USA is just America, because, yeah.

downvote liberally?

For people downvoting (or upvoting, or anyone really), please make sure you read the article and not just the headline, which, as usual, is a bit misleading.

Have you considered Godot? I don't have any real experience with it, but from what I gather, it's FOSS, seems pretty popular and well supported, definitely supports 2D (also 3D but you don't care), can export to Android or web, as well as PC, and doesn't use any of your "blacklisted" languages. It uses its own python-like script, or you can use C#, and there's extensions for others.

I'm not in the UK so I don't really know, I'm just saying the headline is misleading, and I'm just summarizing the article. Yes, I checked again, the article does mention the networks won't go down immediately, so maybe Nissan is a bit evil, or maybe there's something else the article isn't saying.

Once again a misleading headline: No, Nissan isn't evil trying to force people to buy a new car (Edit: well maybe a bit, see replies). Those older cars rely on 2G connectivity, which is soon to be shut down in the UK, so they are sunsetting support for the features relying on it..

TL;DR: The 2G network they rely on is shutting down.

Yeah, misleading headline. They're talking about the linux desktop, and based just on browser stats. Marked share of linux as a whole, including all datacenters, servers, cloud infrastructure, and heck, throw in IOT devices, android, routers, etc, I'm pretty sure it's the dominant OS already.

TL;DR: No. Not even close.

Back in my days "antisemitic" meant hating all jews, not merely opposing Israel's government. So no, he's not antisemitic.

Forced to embrace, extend and extinguish? Or is this actually a good thing? (sorry I didn't watch the whole 50 min video)

Well, this one takes it one lever higher: calling an Israeli jew, descendent of holocaust survivors, "antisemite" just because he disagrees with the actions of his government ...

Wait, you did this on an AMD processor, or did I misunderstand? Isn't it only supposed to work on Intel processors? Either way, I'd try with an Intel processor if I were you, if you have one handy, to see if it makes any difference.

Hmm, good to know, I'll have to try, just out of curiosity. Is that available on Windows Home or just Pro? Anyways, it's not something that many people would easily figure out, so for most non-technical people they effectively cannot disable them.

Now that I think about it, there is a problem: fingerprint & face ID are not 100% correct all the time, so they'd rather have false negatives than false positives, i.e. they'd rather deny access to someone who is authorized, rather than grant access to someone who is not. This is normally not a problem, cause if for whatever reason the biometric method doesn't work (e.g. wet fingers, wearing gloves, wearing full face mask, etc) then you always have the PIN/passphrase ... but with your 2FA idea this wouldn't work anymore.

Windows lets you pause updates for some time, maybe a week or so, after that you're going to take them whether you like it or not. Granted, you had a week or so to prepare, so it's ok to some extent, but don't tell me Windows doesn't force you...

I think you're getting downvoted because many people don't understand exactly what you mean by 2FA, and especially, for what purpose.

You could try to clarify that, but let me see if I get this right: You'd like to use 2FA as a more secure way to access your phone, having the phone require 2 factors to unlock it; not as a way to use your phone as one of the "two factors" for some other 3rd party account, right?

Basically, you'd like a phone to support an authentication method requiring 2 factor to unlock the phone itself, for example both a PIN and fingerpring, or passphrase and face recognition, is that right? As in, one needs both factors, not one or the others. If so, yeah, I guess that could be pretty useful for the very security conscious among us.
