    >The unstated is that the core problem here (lack of USB2 on a USB3 connector) is _NOT_ standard. It does say this at the end of the article.

    It's not just farmers. It was done away with in the UK for 3 years back in the late 60s and people hated it. There are 2 options, either going with summer time permanently which se…

    We do have digital certs in Europe (as mentioned in other comments). I don't know why the article mentions Europe, the cards aren't used to check vaccination here.

    I would imagine they are anchored to the seabed the same way floating oil rigs are.

    You seem to have a very strange definition of theft. Other countries are perfectly entitled to do similarly, as Netherlands does. Why is there not a focus on countries such as Berm…

    Windows drives me mad with this stuff any time I have to use it. I'm baffled by people still claiming "desktop Linux hasn't arrived" when they put up with this shit.

    It actually saddens me to have 5 1/4 bays on my computer that are completely unused nowadays. There's not even any point having a dvd burner anymore.
