Your comment made me dig out my BHS, since i had not counted in Hebrew since my Masters 20 years ago. Biblical Hebrew also spells out numbers, but in a slightly mixed order of the 2 systems: six and forty thousand and five of hundreds (Num 1:21), nine and fifty thousand and three of hundreds ( 1:23 ).

i use peazip on windows and Linux. supports all these and more.

normal slow doctor stuff... fine...

i use orangepi prime boards in production as remote NIDS. i used Armbian (a great debian porting project that does what the maker should have done ) until orange released their Debian 10 img. I put an endurance rated sdcard in those pis and they run like the little pink bunny! Love these little orangepis. I have tried a handful of other boards ( beagle, raspberry, banana , have a whole stack. too many to remember) but the oranges are solid. On a lot of these little SoCs, you can use the raspberry pi gpio software since many of these boards follow the same gpio standard & plug in/out.

my first thought: they'll collect money from sites to disable adblockers and other ext. I gave up on Mozilla 5 or so years ago because they ARE sneaky about being corporate sellouts and anti privacy. At least the browsers i use now don't PRETEND to be privacy focused.

can't the browser download the webpage that contains code to scan 127.0.0.1 then forward the data back to the server? this would also bypass vpn protection.

the real issue, is that when enough people consume a service, it becomes a 'utility', and you are penalized if you don't use it. As such, if a percentage of the population uses something, it should be regulated as a 'utility'. Copyright laws should reflect this also.

Most jobs I've seen (even outside of tech ) require familiarity with Windows and Office, ie. basic skills linked to one platform.

Google is used enough and thus influential enough, it should be classified a public utility and forced to comply with strict utility laws ( which requires government approval to modify prices ).

IANAL, but I'm sure there are layers that could contrive the social penalties of not using Google service.

People make this logical leap in their brains without recognizing it when they use a service for years and rely on it for their daily information, then turn on the high paid exec's who are trying to squeeze a dollar from every user. Red Hat, Reddit, Google, Microsoft, Comcast, all need reigning in because of their necessarily high required utility in civilization.

IBM strikes again, following the Microsoft playbook.

used a phison 2tb nvme on windows 10 for a year before trying a Samsung nvme. Had pitiful performance from the phison (drop to 0MB/s on larger copies) , partly due to Windows no doubt. But the Samsung is so much better. I credit the Samsung controller. so yea, i heard of them ( name is clearly on the controller chip ) and then i bought better.

i gave up on firefox when i couldn't stop it from connecting to Google on a network device i was working on. Removing all the links from the advanced settings made it fail to start. That's when I realized how hypocritical they are. ( arm64 firefox-esr.) Even the latest chromium on arm64 connects to Google almost daily. i use epiphany-browser for that project now. no unwanted internet traffic from epiphany.

I have a bundle because it's cheaper than buying the Internet service by itself. My bundle includes phone but I don't have the house phone connected to it. I also have a cable sports package to watch F1. It's also very annoying to have to search 4 or more streaming apps to find the movie or show I want to watch when Comcast has 90% of it. Cable still provides the biggest variety and there's 3 of us in the family. When Comcast works like it's supposed to, it's impressive.

Ever seen ex machina? User it to build an ai framework of appropriate responses to events.

Ex machina answers that question... use it to build ai

Until we can say we understand the body completely, we're certainly can't be dismissive of ALL pain. As a chronic pain sufferer and a spouse of a medical professional, we both have observed that hubris in doctors is still a serious problem in the medical profession.

Anydesk and nomachine work good for me... windows to linux, linux to linux.
