With this particular concert, no, they’re spending company money (which otherwise could have gone to employees) for themselves.

There are bricks of various kinds, and they can very well be challenging for Wifi. Concrete is even harder, and if you have reinforced concrete, good luck.

But Linux is a registered trademark, too.

And it won’t go into production next year. But workers will still be treated like shit.

If you don’t want to communicate with non-Signal users and are always within range of a public or known Wifi network where ever you are in Afghanistan, then I guess this is fine.

In Germany and Austria, there was a tax on salt for cooking until recently (1993 and 1995, respectively). To avoid that people buy the cheap road salt and use it for cooking, such a bitter component was actually added, usually magnesium chloride (sometimes also capsaicin).
Many German sources still say you shouldn’t eat road salt for that reason, so maybe this is still done (though it is of course possible, that those sources are just outdated).

Of the current 16 games, 11 are shareware/demos. Only Beneath a Steel Sky, One Must Fall 2097, The Black Cauldron, The Lost Vikins and Supaplex are full versions (as those games have been released to public domain at one point).

It wants a code for level selection. You get the code for level 2 once you finish level 1, and so on. So just start with level 1 (F1).

Doom is just the shareware version, just like most of the others (some already called with that fancy modern name “demo”). Some are freeware, some have been released into public domain after they went out of sale.

If you check it out, don’t forget to have a look atthe somewhat hidden 3D mode. Though well made, the 2D mode is just a Google-Maps-like view, and the 3D mode is entirely different.

I don’t think it’s the passport thing. The differences between European passports are minor, so in that matter you surely could accept all EU nationalities. If you really want the best ones, then Sweden, Finland, France, Italy, Austria and Switzerland are among the ones that bring you the farthest in the world, and those are not in the list, while Greece and Norway are less powerful passports, and the USA, Canada and Australia even less, and all of them are in the list.

Of course it could be one or multiple specific countries they want you to travel, but chances for that are low. Clearance sounds much more likely.

According to Wikipedia, they were arrested 3 years ago, not 5. Of the 9 people arrested, 2 were released after 3 days, the other 7 were charged, but only 1 of them was still kept detained after “a few months”, and he was released for health reasons in April (though he still is charged).

Huh? That guide is pretty extensive in providing different options and ways, but it’s not complicated at all. The whole thing is about 2500 words, that would be about 5 pages printed. That’s probably much shorter than most Windows guides, and they are not typically offering so many options.

And the prices of YouTube premium, too. It’s not “about $4 per month” in the US.

Microsoft Teams has a completely different technical base than Skype for Business. Other platform, other language, other tech stack, other APIs, other protocols, other features. The one that just was a reskinned something was Skype for Business, formerly known as Lync, formerly known as Office Communicator, formerly known as Windows Messenger, formerly known as Exchange Conferencing, …

You said they “will never be able to use vr” when all there is that they felt some degree of motion sickness in some situations. Might have been poorly developed games (the industry is still learning how to avoid motion sickness), might have been multi-hour sessions, might have been in combination with drugs or other sicknesses, might have been totally mild symptoms after all.
VR may not be for everybody, but it’s not that everybody who says he experienced motion sickness once will never touch VR again.

Half of the VR users once experienced some symptoms of VR sickness, not half of VR users are affected so badly that they’ll never be able to use VR.

It is a privately held company with no plans for IPO and no dealings with venture capitalists

According to https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/64901-80, there’s over 100 investors in Epic, and of course there is Tencent holding a 40% share.
But those investors are not much of an issue either, because you forgot one important point in your list: Epic is swimming in money (and Unreal is just a side business for them).

Does ChatGPT’s code get better if you include “You’re an expert in that language” in the prompt?

And then call it “critically important for everyone” when it only affects the users of one particular tool (which used to be popular 20 years ago, but is one a decline ever since).
