you can "learn", but it is the same and when you start to learn coding, or do homework, you read the solution and "aaah, I get it", but next time you still won't be able to do it unless you've done without reading the answer before.

reading code is not the same as writing code, the second one is much harder.

just don't buy cables from generic or awful brands, you can go with some reputable ones like cablematters,startech, caldigit, or satechi, also you can check USB-IF members. For other cables like displayport, just buy only certified cables that can be checked on displayport site, before buying any.

same for thunderbolt, etc.

you may pay a bit more, but they will comply the specs and be higher quality than the other generic brands.

it's not much different than a samsung device phoning their servers for every thing the device does.

but in this case as it does to china, people are a bit paranoid. usually mostly is their cloud services for notetaking or some push notifications.

but I think I remember people saying they could disable everything by rooting the devices.

fair enough, don't release it on europe and lose access to a market of 700 million people from the first world who pay the highest prices

maybe your game can live only by the sales of the US

If you go from Paris to Warsaw, you still won't need a passport, just a basic ID

Schengen area

travelling around Europe as European is not much more hassle than moving on the US from one state to the other.

maybe the workforce is not really behind the non-profit foundation and want shares to skyrocket, sell, and be well off for life.

at the end of the day, the people working there are not rich like the founders and money talks when you have to pay rent, eat and send your kids to a private college.

I feel more like companies "worried" about disclosure to governments in 24 hours worry more about needing to fix things fast and maybe hire more people to do it than from security concerns issues.

that have a reason, as it's been demostrated by a lot of metastudies you can find on cochrane that there is usually much more worst outcomes and long term effects on the broad of the population when misdiagnosed by overdiagnosing than just simply saving an extra 0.01% (not real number)

the same reason of why for example now there is an advocacy to end yearly mammograms on older woman, because the number of them saved by that practice is inferior to the ones that are misdiagnosed and then put under other unnecesary medical practices that end up hurting more by unnecesary practices on a lot of them that would have never developed a cancer or under pressure to the ones that no one will be able to save no matter how sooner they got the diagnostic.

infinite constant and unnecesary medical tests is not the way for now, maybe in the future, but not now.

I think that it's more in the line of

- I jumped some walls that others won't be able because I knew the right people as we work together and they dedicated some of their personal time and public funds to help me, but they won't do it for you

but without sounding like he used the privileges he really had
