By suing the PERSONS responsible for the malware. Yes, that means the people at the top of the manufacturer, because they made the deliberate decision to implement said malware.

Watch how the manufacturer all of a sudden becomes VERY nice when their entire board of directors gets sued into oblivion.

I found that bard is more willing to answer silly questions than chatgpt.

I asked both "How long does it take one person to vacuum the sahara," and bard gave me an answer which just had me laughing, while chatgpt was more like "that's unrealistic"

neovim, of course. Escape Meta Alt Control Shift is an os which seems to be lacking a text editor. :)

Why not "How do you create your documents?"

"LaTeX", "asciidoc", "word", and "LibreOffice" could be among the answers.

Come on. We have never seen this one?

Options could be:
1) Next year
2) Ten years from now
3) When heat death of the universe happens

There are quite a few alternatives to the play store. Epic apparently thinks the play store is a monopoly, but clearly there are alternatives which function just as well.

On top of that, side loading is also a thing on Android.

All they need to do is to provide instructions on their website and they're all set.

This is clearly an anti-trust issue. When will they be sued into oblivion over this?

If not by some government (the EU or US), why not by some competitor which obviously gets hampered by this. This is downright anti-competitive behavior.

Would be loads of fun. :)

I agree... only 1% of the internet is porn, but that's definitely where 99% of all the traffic goes. I'm sure google funnels a lot of people in that direction and gets paid handsomely for it.

Star trekking,
across the universe,
boldly going forward,
because we CAN'T FIND REVERSE.

You will care when there's all of a sudden a sheet of boiling water on the floor of your bathroom and the pipe is spraying boiling water everywhere, ruining your bathroom when you want to take a shower.

Think of the poor people with autism, adhd, epilepsy, etc. who have to shop there. I'm sure they'll be very grateful for all the added stimuli. What's next? All those screens making sound? I wonder how often they'll have to deal with panic attacks, epileptic seizures, and the like.

The Palestinians say the exact same thing. Only difference is, they are willing to murder innocents in order to get what they want. They have been doing so, or scheming to do so, ever since Israel was created.

No wonder Israel is sick and tired and willing to FINALLY risk civilian casualties. Of course the civilian dead will only be used by Israel's enemies to start screaming "see, didn't I tell you Israel is evil?" all the while ignoring DECADES of misbehavior of their own.

I understand, there's two sides to a story. I know Israel has been illegally colonizing parts, taking the water and the fertile lands, of areas they occupy. Yes, both sides are guilty of human-rights violations. However, Israel has to constantly deal with a terrorist threat. The day they say "ok guys, we're now going to have peace and share our ground with everybody around us" is the day a massacre will happen. Israel cannot afford to be the nice guy. They need to be tough as nails if they want to survive.

Besides, they Jews were there waaaaaay before the Muslims. They've got a claim to that land which precedes that of the Muslims. A fact which is cheerfully ignored because it's the inconvenient truth.

Any addict will take the option of euthanasia over treatment. They view the world as a place which doesn't want them and it's completely evil, so why live? That's the whole reason they're addicted. They're running away from pain. Having the option of an easy death open to them, will result in thousands upon thousands of addicts applying for this, as opposed to looking for recovery. To them, death is the easy way out.

I never expected such idiocy from the Canadian government. Here's for hoping the WHO will start yelling at that government to not implement this.

There are some things you can only do in assembly.

I'm only familiar with x86, so can only relate to that.

One such thing is switching to protected mode.
Interrupts are also impossible to manage using higher level programming languages.
Communicating with hardware is also impossible with higher level languages.

On the other hand, there are some fun bugs which can cause headaches.

To be honest, I found the x86 instruction set quite easy to learn.

However, assembly is quite a while ago for me and I don't use it anymore.
