I had my fair share of IBM and Lenovo laptop repairs. They were OK, but far from best. Firmware was locked to certain (expensive) RAM modules and HDDs. Expensive motherboard replacement on first sign of troubles...

Panasonic Toughbook and Toshiba were better.

Electric or non electric does not matter.

And why would you put "unsafe" into quotes? Person who falls from unicycle is heavy, and can injure themselfs or another person.

It would be nice to include some context, like was driver on road or pedestrian walkway, were they wearing a helmet, how fast and safely they were driving...

Unicycling is nothing extraordinary that would deserve prize, pizza delivery guys do that all the time. I live in busy tourist city and I am very tired of inconsiderate unicycling drivers!

Different reaction from men can be explained in what would follow in case of crash. Men get far less help when injured. And if driver gets injured, men are expected to step up and provide help!

Not necessarily. Many refugees are from Ukraine, they can freely move to Germany, work there and apply for social benefits. I think Germany really needs similar rules for other countries, particularly in Africa and Middle East!

That would prove they are not far right once for all!

I don't have vulnerability ids.

What made me disable it was some issue in Linux network stack, with ipv6 broadcast, on by default, exploitable to root execution.

For me it is yet another complex service that I do not need, and that should not be exposed to network. Ipv4 network stack code is far smaller, simpler and way more tested over decades!

Current German goverment is also far right! They want to move migrants from Germany to other countries!

Another irony is Capek did not really liked R.U.R. He was great author and journalist, read his War with the Newts (1936). RUR was his early theater game, it is a bit silly and has big plot holes.. Yet somehow it is his most known work.

> when you look at those taped-up batteries, you see that they are refurbished

EV cars and buses will be like that in couple of years. Look how old busted Toyotas are maintained. Look how MTA maintains subway network, some parts are literally 70 years old!

> introduction of a 2% wealth tax on people with more than $10m

Super rich billionaires at this level control goverment spending. They can also hide their assets around the globe.

So this seems like a great way for billionaires to increase their wealth, at expense of "upper middle class" who can not do this. (honestly $10m is not that much)
