I successfully updated my iMac to Catalina, which is only eligbile for High Sierra updates. Check out the Catalina Patcher.

why? emacs started as a text editor, did you not know?

Whoosh!

As many as the number of John Smiths.

Drones typically do not fly near tall buildings. This is not because of radio interference (2.4GHz is typically for controls, 5.8GHz is for video feeds) but GPS interference. The loss of positioning ability is a greater problem than loss of radio or video signals. With positioning support, drones can fly on its own, including returning to home.

This removes the annoying ad content but the annoying space for displaying the ad will still be there occupying precious space.

Actually, Microsoft can disable the host file trick because they own Windows 10. If they can force ads in their apps, they can also ignore specific entries in the host file. When that happens, we will lose this convenient trick and then have to perform the ad block elsewhere, e.g., firewalls.

The majority of Chinese citizens will not read what the coach said on Twitter. But there is a considerable portion of Chinese citizens who live outside China; and don't forget the Chinese living in Hong Kong and Taiwan. All of them have access to Twitter.

There's _a_ reason? You just listed 3.

I understand what you mean because I live there. But specifically for drone offenses, the punishments aren't that harsh.

I'm not sure about that. We don't have renewable energy sources (no dams, wind turbines, or solar plants), we don't have fossil fuels (no crude oil, gas, or coal), and no nuclear power stations too.

I'm not sure if it will work, but you could try setting your DNS server to a Singapore one, and then surf to thepiratebay.org. You'll get a basic HTML error page.

Here are DNS servers from the top 3 Singapore ISPs: 203.211.152.66, 202.156.1.68, 165.21.83.88

Yes. But I prefer to add the blocked hostnames to my local host file, to bypass the web-surfing restrictions implemented by IMDA.

By the way, porn sites like PornHub, can also be unblocked the same way. :)

Yes, pirated CDs and DVDs were rampant in Sim Lim Square, back in the 90s. But they had been all wiped out. Now, we can find android boxes pirating TV content.

One problem - some travellers may not have cellular phone services that work in the foreign country. Some travellers buy travel SIM cards in the foreign country, and they only know their assigned numbers upon purchase, so they can't register their number with the airline. Also, the travel SIM card may be expired on the day or the day before the flight, so they are uncontactable via the travel SIM card.

I have never heard of the term Lightning Bug, and I just found out it was just Firefly. Learned something new today.
