FOSS lightweight ”virtual machine” (it’s not quite a VM but it’s similar conceptually. It’s much lighter on your system than a VM).
Easy to install, setting it up for your use case may take some coding if it isn’t common (bash scripting experience will help).
The clock hands move right when at the top but left when at the bottom.
You pay for it in the data they collect from you and the ads they show to you.
I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to intentionally hide your plates
Honestly this is kinda good press IMO. When the people who actively do have something to hide are using a given privacy tool, that tool probably works.
Mexico is a large country. There are perfectly safe parts and dangerous parts.
There are some attacks you are vulnerable to on public WiFi that a VPN can help with.
More generally, whoever is transporting your data knows who you are talking to. If you don’t use a VPN, your ISP and whoever owns the router know what websites you are visiting (although they don’t know the specific content). If you use a VPN, your ISP and router know you are using that VPN, but not what websites you are visiting. Now your VPN knows what websites you are visiting, but they still don’t know what the content is.
I hope that helps.
Also the improvements in computer speed from Moore’s law were from Denard Scaling, which says with transistors 2x smaller, you can run things 2x faster but produce 2x as much heat.
Heat dissipation has been the bottleneck for a long time now.
IMO edge coming pre-installed isn’t a big deal. But I’d like to be able to uninstall edge and not have Windows periodically try to trick me into setting edge as my default browser again.
It may have originally had DRM but it doesn’t now.
Also the internet is the primary attack vector for most devices. I don’t have to worry about someone hacking my devices that just do their job and don’t have internet connectivity.
That being said though, the internet-based devices in the article are simply becoming non-internet-based devices, so my suggestion is kinda a moot point.
It’s been a while since I used Spotify since I use Apple now.
I remember being able to add my own music, but maybe it was just local to the computer.
Apple definitely lets you upload stuff to their servers though.
Apple and Spotify let you do that too.
Good enough 90% of the time makes 99.9% of the money so why bother making things perfect for the power users?
Honestly a foldable smartphone should be 2 touchscreens with a hinge if there’s at all any risk of a bendy screen breaking more easily or otherwise being inferior to that.

It’s totally possible to make cool mobile apps, but most of the ones you see are just a big company porting their website.
uBlacklist is an excellent add on anyway
