Comment This is not new (Score 1) 235

China has been doing this for years and not just in universities.
Chinese workers "disguised" as "normal" immigrants have been placed in key foreign companies in order to feed China's industrial intelligence.
More, western companies, namely technological companies have outsourced production to China and all these manufacturing techniques and technologies have been used by China for their own use.

Comment This post is stupid and old news (Score 1) 48

First, Rolling Rhino has been around for over two years.
Second, this is just tracking the development repositories
Third, LTS (and even "normal" releases) are way more stable than development versions.
Fourth, writing "finally" in the title just reflects the author's desires and not the desire of the majority of Ubuntu users.

Comment It's not pork (Score 1) 143

As several people said: if it is meatless, it's not pork. A few months ago, the EU mandated that all drinks marketed as milk and butter without being sourced from mammals (goats, cows, sheep) cannot be labelled as "milk" ou "butter", except for "peanut butter". So, in Europe there is no "soy milk" or other artificial "milks".
This being said, it must be a matter of time they legislate against these denominations.

Comment Re:The German Corona App is open source (Score 1) 50

I wonder whether anybody else has used that source yet to roll their own.

It also does not store detailed tracking data on a server but uses an approach that works mostly on the phone.

It's on github: https://github.com/corona-warn...

The Portuguese app is also open-source. The GitHub repository is this [https://github.com/stayawayinesctec].

Next Apple innovation will be the iPhone 2021, a 6G phone without a screen, battery and main board. This way, Apple is going to save the environment a lot in CO2 emissions and the consumers' pocket space.
If you really need the flexibility of having a phone with a touch screen, you can purchase it separately for just $499,99! The optional battery will also allow you to use the iPhone 2021 on the move, outside your house and while you practice sports. All for an additional $199,99! What a steal!

Comment GPS tracks nowadays (Score 5, Insightful) 776

GPS trackers are being used ubiquitously nowadays. I do not have any problems with them, although I do not have any. They are being used for controlling people who drive for a living.
But, using them to track people off duty is a completely ludicrous. It should be banned. In Portugal, I know, the Personal Data Protection Law strictly forbids it. IMHO, the US could learn a lot from certain European laws.
