One shitty company ran by an Asian asshole is screwing with another shitty company ran by another Asian asshole.

Fuck Germany.

That's not realistic at all. 3 years of actual work is closer to a Bachelors. 5 years is basically a Master's level of Competency of software development. It's the exact opposite, your IRL experience is worth more than learning a new Humanities or Liberal Arts word for BS filler classes that are requirements to get through a 4 year degree.

Most of the time the level of knowledge is lower with degree'd individuals. Mainly because they LOL'd degree'd their way into the sector and the field. People without degrees and certificates, but a vast pool of knowledge are in the field because actual interest. Whatever, hire whomever you want, I don't expect your software to not be trash. I definately don't expect devs to stop building traps and back doors into their bullshit software either, because how else would they get new ideas if they didn't steal them?

Never borrow a charger, and never loan out a charger. Never.

From what I saw in demonstration, as a older C developer, I like what they have to offer. I was in a tussle whether to move over into Zig, or stay with C. I stuck with C because of the ANSI requirements, and ZIG isn't a fully standardized syntax yet. I get the impression that Zig is going to be competing more directly with Rust in the future, as that was the intention. I liked what I saw though. Even if I couldn't get it work on my Fedora box. I think that was a Fedora issue.

They tried everything except for that anti-air laser system that is in DARPA testing, and would have been perfect for this situation.

Because we all know they won't work without some sort of poisoning, at least that's what the moral relativists tell us.

It's the only use for these devices if they are stolen.

My phone is always locked. Means nothing is going to happen.

Don't remind us.

If a I am ever in Texas and need my devices repaired, then sure. Since I live about 1200 miles away, and my devices all work just fine. I will probably just keep supporting myself. I don't have enough time in the day to go out of my way to support every single "cause".

I clearly am supporting right-to-repair, in demanding that I can require a password to change my firewall settings. If I could SE my Mac box, I would, but nope. I have to accept the fact that Apple is a bunch of whiney babies that has to feel special and gain access remotely to hardware they don't own. Let's not even get into the other issues with their software. Mr. Cook apparently isn't a computer guy.

Their OS is about as secure as a wetnap. Must be wishful thinking on their part. Who released a production level OS with a firewall that doesn't require Admin rights to alter the settings? Apple did, that's who.

You have no idea.
