Until recently the Swiss National Bank was mostly concerned with pushing the franc down, they had the lowest rates in Europe (and after the recent raise they're still negative at -0.25%), after many years of this they've accumulated over a trillion USD in foreign reserves. Trading in the other direction and keeping CHF up should be fairly easy for them.

Not only there isn't any sandboxing, the lack of it is how WINE works - wine's low-level dlls (kernel32.dll for example) just call out to linux libs, or syscall directly.

More likely to be sold or leased out, and the server is somewhere far away. Basically all telephony nowadays is VOIP, even if you have an old fashioned landline it'll be analog only at the last mile.

Elastic isn't an open source project after the license change.

On AMD the GPU driver stack is unlikely to be materially different from Stadia, I doubt Google is using anything else than (possibly customized/patched) amdgpu+mesa.

KMail uses QtWebEngine, which is effectively Chromium.

That is much more difficult, might require various unsupported hacks and for a truly robust solution you'd need two GPUs. For games having a Vulkan or DX12 (via DXVK) renderer, wine can be as fast as native Windows with almost none of the hassle. DOOM(2016) is a very good example.

/pol/ has grown a lot louder and prominent in the past few years though, to the point where even many seasoned 4chan posters are annoyed by them. "go back to /pol/" is a complaint you can now see on almost every board.

Those are usually quite expensive. If HDMI requires 48Gb/s capable transceiver chips to be built into every TV, they will get really cheap very fast. It might not be a viable solution in the end, but it could work for some applications.

If you're in Europe, RIPE still hands out ipv4 /22's to new members. Their fee is 1400EUR/year though, so not that cheap.

polkit doesn't typically run on server installations, so this isn't that bad.
