Pretty much, unfortunately. I was quite shocked to discover this as well. Exact model is Deco X50, in case you want to avoid. There is a web page, but it has almost no function. I think you can update the firmware from a file, but not configure the WiFi SSID.

I'd still pick a web page (or telnet or whatever) over a cloud-based phone app any day. I can enter my WiFi password myself, I will save more time than having to figure out what crappy name they chose for the app. Mitsubishi heatpump is called "kumo cloud". Midea dehumidifier is called "SmartHome". I have another one which is called "SmartLife" and Samsung has "SmartThings".

They are the new Linksys. Cheap but reliable and available routers for the masses. Some of their models support OpenWRT so you don't have to deal with their proprietary firmware.
One bad thing they did recently is their Deco lineup, which can only be configured through an Android or iOS "app". There is a web page but the features are limited I don't even think you can change the IP address. But otherwise I was impressed by their support, after going to 3-4 levels of script followers, I was able to reach competent support who was able to fix a bug in their wireguard client implementation (preventing reconnection if the server restarts).

Trump would be calling it unfair if the USA was an exporter of WiFi routers and other countries were banning them.

Are the rust coreutils in a Snap?

I agree.
And also, schools aren't forced to start at 8am. If they prefer 9am so that there is more daylight in the morning, they can change as well. I don't think they should change school start time twice a year however.

in the US, this is called "monetizing" and is business as usual. If you disagree you are just a communist who likes big government regulations. Also corporations can legally buy politicians in the US. Again if you disagree you are just a communist who likes big government regulations.

They use cheaper version of the SoC with no modem. Even the iPad has no cellular modem (in its wifi version) because of the costs savings.

Also, even if the modem was there built-in to the SoC (and not disabled by eFuses and not binned out from a smartphone batch because of defects), you still need RF transceivers, power amplifiers, filters, antennas... these are hard to hide, especially if you don't have a cellphone tower just out of your living room's window.

The models have been pretty damn accurate, even if they are continuously being refined. What is harder to predict is the amount of greenhouse gases that will be emitted X years from now, because it depends a lot on public policies.
A lot of countries (mostly in the Europe) reduced their emissions. Others still increased but still made efforts to limit the increase. Because of those efforts, the temperature is not raising as fast as it could have. But that's not because the models were wrong.

Al Gore is 78. Why would he move to Alaska? He has at most 20 years left. The temperature will increase by maybe 0.2C during that time.

RHEL to Debian. Clearly they want to use a major distribution. Not something that may not be around next year.

According to the study, it has more adverse effects, unfortunately.

But it may be worth it for the increase efficacy.

Well hopefully the authors are not dumb enough not to consider this. And even if they were, the peer reviewers would have caught it.
If it's genuinely 27% more effective when targeting the same flu variant (compared to regular vaccines), it's definitely a breakthrough.

Not really, because flu tend to kill old people who ALREADY had kids long ago.

It would be a good thing yes.
But it's still different. Historically, you could always buy a game from brick and mortar store not owned by Nintendo or Sony. That was never possible with the iPhone.
Not sure how it is with digital stores now, but I wouldn't be surprised if they followed Apple's "lead" in that vendor lock-in department as well.

Still, console makers would argue that they sell consoles at loss and they make profit with the games. Apple makes a huge profit on phones. It appears the EU DMA applies to general-purpose computing devices, and therefore smartphone/computers but not gaming consoles. You don't use your gaming console to install your bank's application, for instance. But I guess if the video game console market was becoming as anti-competitive as Apple, they could be regulated in the future as well.

Imagine if Toyota tried to charge 5% fee on all gas purchases not even sold by Toyota.
