Countries with sane laws include a tolerance limit to take into account flaws in speedometers and radars. Here in Brazil, the tolerance is 10%, so tickets clearly state "driving at speed 10% above limit".

My personal favourite is "JayScript".

I don't know enough of the 8086 so I don't know if this works the same, but on the Z80 (which means it was probably true for the 8080 too), XOR A would also clear pretty much all bits on the flag register, meaning the flags would be in a known state before doing something that could affect them.

The last thing we need is more enshitification on this space.

I just migrated my selfhosted email server to Hetzner and I don't want them turning into monstrosity like AWS or Azure, with theit miriad of ways to nickel and dime the customers.

Having both screens on the outside doesn't let you use the main cameras when folded, Apple would never do that.

It's much easier to smuggle a USB drive with Windows updates than it is a few tonnes of metal.

Then China will switch a billion desktops to Linux and the US will still need rare earths.

That is assuming the objects will be at the same place relative to us, which is not true. Like reaching Andromeda. Voyager I will reach oyr neighbouring galaxy in roughly 4.5 billion years, not 45, that's because Androneda is moving in our direction. Reaching Proxima Centaury would take longer than your estimation because of it's orbit around Alpha Centauri A/B.

Estimating time-to-arrival when your destination is also moving at ludicrous speeds is incredibly difficult.

If China has a monopsony on soy beans, then they nogociate from a position if power, because the US either sells on their terms or see the beans rot.

Many banks and Fintechs here offer this, the trick is that you need to open a local office, so you have a Brazilian subsidiary with a CNPJ number in order to open a bank account and receive the money.

There are plenty of companies in Brazil that offer PIX payments to foreign e-shops. Valve has been accepting PIX for some time now, for example.
