Why would sa make a deal with him? It would have to be secret and there's zero chance he would abide by it later. If he wins and they kill him its a war. If he loses they've bought nothing anyway....

You see this thinking in science too. Dark matter has always struck me as an awful solution to a model breaking down. It's basically "the numbers don't add up so let's add a fudge factor to make it say what we want". But you're generally considered a kook for questioning it now. People will spout a bunch of big words and hope you shut up if you do.

I will never really understand why china's on these lists. I know it's because theyre communist and commies = bad, but every other country on their has literally vowed to kill Americans, while china's biggest crime is making close to as much money as we do.

Definitely no shady VPNs run by white westerners though. Theyve all got impeccable morals through ans through. Glad you cleared that up.

100 is hot out and 0 is cold. That's not crazy. 35 being hot out is pretty arbitrary for day to day use. But if your job is boiling water every day, it's probably not the best.

Firefox shipped sandboxing on Android years ago (before chrome) and then removed it. I'm not sure you gain much from it on Android. It eats up ram making performance crap on cheap phones and apps already run in their own app user context to isolate what they can access.

I will never understand how people expect software to gather no telemetry or metrics whatsoever.

I'm in Thailand and knockoff Disney stuff (and Legos) are pretty normal. And it's nice. The kids buying them have to deal with seeing their ads plastered all over town, so it's nice there are versions they can buy. I just wish they were so shitty quality and the big companies markup wasn't so fucking insane. Lego sets pretty regularly hit $200-$300 here. There literally is no Nintendo Thailand, so game prices are pretty random based on import fees that retailers can negotiate (or sneak through).

The nice thing is no one gives a shit about piracy. No risks really.

That's literally the same thing the us government is doing here....

Signing doesn't provide security of privacy protections. It just means you paid apple a fee.
