The difference is that users in your country can self-support and continue local development of the software, even if they are cut off from US-based communities. If the native language is not English, of course in this case it's Spanish, there are likely to be language-specific discussion and self-support sites already in use by people in that country.

And nobody vandalizes them, because it's Japan.

They had great iced coffee in cans, with brands like "Georgia", long before Starbucks and other US companies ever had canned and bottled coffee products.

I have been running my Raspberry Pi 4 without temperature issues but without the official case. As soon as I put the Pi4 in its case and I close the lid, the temperature increases until it has to throttle the speed. But outside the case it works fine, especially when I put the Pi4 vertically on its side.

I just checked the temperature with a light load on the Pi4 and no display:
$ vcgencmd measure_temp
temp=55.0'C

So everything is fine when I do not use the official case. This temperature is very similar to what I get from my old Pi model B or Pi3B+ that are in the same room and operating at temperatures between 49 C and 65 C depending on the load. The Pi4 is a couple of degrees warmer under comparable load, but it works fine without a fan.

However, I do not understand why the Raspberry Pi Foundation designed the official Pi4 case as a completely closed box, unlike the official Pi3 case from which it was easy to remove the top or the side panels to provide some additional air flow. It is possible to use the Pi4 case without the top, but there are no side panels so there is very little air flow under the board. This is a weird design decision that causes the board to overheat rather quickly.

Those who purchase the Pi4 Desktop Kit with the official case will get a much better desktop experience if they do not use the case (or at least remove the top part).

The flyboard could even pre-compensate and gain a few milliseconds by detecting when a shot is fired and by increasing the thrust on the rear jets before the recoil tilts the flyboard backwards. The detection could be active if there is a link (wired or wireless) between the gun and the flyboard, or it could be based on sound although the latter would be less efficient because of the delay. An active link from the gun could even inform the flyboard that the gun is about to fire, in case the flyboard has a mechanism to prepare some extra power to be released when the shot is actually fired (but not before, otherwise aiming would become impossible).

I assume that they already patented that idea. ;)

That would be difficult. In general, reporting about a mark doesn't require acknowledgement of the mark.

In the USA, you have a constitutional right to state your opinion even if it's wrong.

You have a First Amendment right to state your opinion.

Strategic Lawsuits against Public Participation are a problem everywhere, and are brought to curtail that right. Some, but not all US states, have an anti-SLAPP law. Having been sued for 3 Million dollars for giving my opinion that someone violated the GPL, I know the value of the California anti-SLAPP law. The plaintiff had to take out this $300,000 bond to pay for my defense. Stay tuned!

It's just much harder to multithread C without race conditions, live locks, dead locks, leaks and segfaults. :)

You forgot communication.

Indeed, they haven't backed down at all.

This also means that the only way to run an ad blocker extension with Chrome will be to give Chrome the full list of sites that you want to block. Even if that list is not immediately transferred to Google, they can still analyze it and check what Google ads are blocked, how well Google ads are doing compared to their competitors, etc.

If I want to block some trackers that invade my privacy, Google will make this harder (if the block is currently based on a pattern rather than a static list of URL) and in addition they will know about it. They still present this change as a nice feature, but this is actually a privacy disaster. And they are obviously trying to confuse the journalists by claiming that they have changed their mind while they are still pushing the exact same bad idea (just with a slightly higher limit to the static list of URLs, which is the broken concept).
