But projects made in Zig are just as cool :)
Go and Python are my current preference, and C being an old soul mate.
I use htop often but pretty much only use it to find pid or cpu-culprits, and never really understood the rest.
Infineon got €1bn of tax payer money to open the plant (~$1.1bn).
44.1kHz, isn't that what lameMP3 uses as default?
Perhaps I am out of touch, but a project with author/s that have passion for every line, function and purpose, feels more real and worth my trust to spend time using it.
Photos of me undoubtedly exist on their platform, with my name as well.
Not sure I am ok with random people instantly knowing who I am and who my relatives are.
Of course you can have a friend to buy it for you, but again, it's Ferraris choice who they want to conduct business with as long as they follow the laws to the letter. Their car is their brand and they want to protect it.
In the case of Ferrari, their products are essentially also rolling advertisements, so modifying them goes against what they are trying to sell.
If it needs to see transactions, just have your salary deposited there, then an automatic transfer the same day to your real account?
You have the full right to view and ask for deletion.
Anyways, there is a ton of mouse wigglers out there, notably on aliexpress.com, many external and not connected to your workstation.
Tried it for a while but wasn't enough cats.
It is also a security risk, as it is essentially a huge system (compared to BIOS) under the actual OS, compromise the former and own the latter. The larger code base, the larger attack vector.
Coming back to UEFI implementations, how many of them are actually open source and do not have un-vetted code running (again under your OS)?
Yes, UEFI do have some positives but the security risk far outweighs them.
AFAIK healthcare in UK is tax funded, and smoking with its long list of damages to the body, takes a portion of that taxpayer money which could be used on something underfunded, like mental healthcare.
