The HP Spectre x360 line has had physical kill switches to the camera for some time now. I think since the 2018 version. Still waiting for the microphone switch though.

That's actually a scientifically recorded fact. German researches recorded the sleep patterns of 397 residents in areas where there was previously no mobile reception. After erecti…

Or just hire people from low cost of living areas. Depending on the location, they could just let you go. Imagine moving from Idaho to NYC. Drastic increase in cost. If an employer…

Not OP but I'll chime in. I have a range of devices myself and within in my social circle. I also live abroad from my family so good communication is key. My work phone is an iPhon…

Few options. Find an employer who is willing to hire you and go through H1B visa lottery, which is the normal work visa. Enroll in a US university, ideally a STEM degree, and use t…

The question is if the stewardess cares as much as the airline. Realstically speaking there is virtually no difference in service for them. Assuming that I get the usual economy fo…

I have hopes, but it likely depends on the airline. Had an empty flight with Singapore Airlines right after Christmas and they didn't. This is British Airways so we'll see.

I called the airline yesterday and they told me.

I will be flying from east US to Germany this weekend. (Planned move and visa is running out so no choice). So far I'm the only person on the transatlantic plane. Interestingly eno…

That'd be the BND as an FYI

Yup. Looks to be their email address. Email is from PR firm Sard Verbinnen & Co.

Because asynchronous communication takes a long time and often misses important emotional information transmitted via voice. I am not a slow writer, but for many things I prefer to…
