It allows to recover you account, but not your past messages, unless you have used their functionality to backup them unencrypted on the cloud (either Google or Apple cloud, depending on you overlord)

I have a few of them, since you could buy them for 20 euros after Google flooded the market with them, now they are becoming a rarity and expensive again for some reason. I think they are good quality, but the gum on the sticks shreds a bit, leaving an annoying black residue on my thumbs!

In fact, I have just read the original articles in Italian, and he's only accused of (quite egregious) embezzlement: spending a few thousand of public money on luxury hotels and shopping, overspending on plane tickets, overusing the agency chauffeur service, paying for an "official residence" flat that was actually rented on AirB&B by his daughters. In the order of a few 100k€. It is a lot of money, but nothing w.r.t. what he could have done "consulting" for a tech firm after ruling in their favor a few times.

Also, they will never update the software to support the next version of Windows. At work, we're stuck with computer running all the way back to 32bit Windows XP in order to keep using lab equipment that costed hundred of thousands at the time. Transferring the data in and out of it while keeping it acceptably safe is a real nightmare.

It's an open secret that Microsoft makes most of its money selling Linux, not Windows. However, for some reason, they really do not want to sell their Linux services to Linux users.

You're missing the point: the code was, and still is, available in the ffmpeg repository since the beginning.

Most of the CPU time spent by game is not spent in the main binary file, but in system libraries: 3D graphics (via DIrect3D, OpenGL, or Vulkan), physics simulation library, etc. According to the article, Fex would emulate the amd64 instruction set for a while, but also translate the library calls, which allows the use of native Arm libraries, with only a thin translation layer in between, not really different from what you need to call c library from a python code.

Gabe Newell is 63 years old, he can still have many years to live, but he won't stay president of Steam forever. I fear that when he'll step down, the enshittification will begin.

All the ones I've tried on Steam, officially supported or not, work perfectly fine on Linux. The only exception, being a few (but also popular) comptetitive multiplayer games that included kernel-level "anticheat".

People who think this is a good idea obviously live alone and work in an individual sealed office. Otherwise they'll know that as soon as you start talking on your own, people around will either ask you what's up, or get really worried about your mental health. Try to imagine an open space office, with a dozen people mumbling to they're laptops in unison, and how is that supposed to work out.

That is because string theory has not been proved, while anthropogenic climate change has been proved over and over again. You do not dissent climate change, you are just wrong about it.

The point is that there are press articles about it.

Among those 4.3 billions, about a billion are aged 12 or less (forbidden from having and IG account because of TOS), some 400k are older than 65. It leaves less than 3 billion potential users.

The glass fiber of fiberglass is recycled, but the resin is currently burnt away.

Choral molecules can react differently with left and right variants of other chiral molecules. This does not mean they do not react at all with the left version.
