> Since 2018 OeBB said all its trains "run on electricity generated exclusively by hydropower, solar and wind power... a milestone for climate protection in Austria"

This is easy to debunk. Austria is part of EU grid, and other states produce big part of their electricity from coal and gas. Austria imports that electricity!

Plus some trains operated by Oebb are international!

> about debugging our system at work that’s coupled to a SAP service in Wisconsin

I think article is a bit naive. If your system is designed this way, you probably have no control over it. Maybe some legacy stuff, maybe you jump too fast between 300 microservices...

It hat case you need other methods, like very good logging. If you can replay every interaction with that service, you do not have to decouple it!

Some X86 binaries do not run on M1, big deal in ERP. My collages spend like two weeks trying to emulate some older server.

It has little RAM, small disk... so you depend on cloud for build. No Nvidia GPU for CUDA... Some USB externals do not work...

>You can watch the item as often as you want, but the terms specify that you can’t “sell, rent, lease, distribute, publicly perform or display, broadcast, sublicense or otherwise assign any right to the Content to any third party.”

Terms can specify what they want, but enforcement is another thing. I am pretty sure, you can resell movie DVDs in any country.

I was getting errors from ping. Update fixed that, my guess is WSL2 is much better

He, I asked for Windows laptop. I am the only one in like 30 people.

My laptop has 64GB RAM and 2TB ssd. And unlike Mac, it drives 4x4k displays via USB4 hub. Even with all those extras, it costs less than Macbook, and I have some hardware budget still available:)

And it came with unlocked bios, no spy software... Windows are basically unsupported by our IT...

I imagine if starlink uses local IP address range, it would be bound by local ISP rules. All sorts of censorship and filtering.

And avoiding local ISPs may be major reason to use Starlink!

Windows can install full Linux distro via WSL. You can have a nmap in two minutes!

I like it much better than MacBook with its incompatible ARM cpu, and outdated commands from some ancient BSD!

Sure!

Ublock Origin installed from Firefox Extension Web Store. I have no idea how this was verified and distributed. I do not trust webstore as a channel. Also user may easily click on "Unblock" or "Unlock" and get something completely different.

If this extension came from my Linux distro package, or bundled into Firefox binary, I would trust it.

With Brave I have no need to use extensions. Everything is bundled and can be enabled via about:flags.

Most extensions are single person projects run on GitHub. Imagine if their Gmail account, or phone SIM gets breached and backdoored version reaches Extension Store.

Plus several extensions were just sold to highest bidder!

It is not about crashing, but security. Chromium based browsers have multiple layers of sandboxing and hardening. Webpage rendered basically runs in several virtual machines that are very hard to breach.

Mozilla had process based isolation (mainly due old code base). That is far less effective. Some things like GPU access are not sandboxed at all!

>Google remains the default search engine provider inside the Firefox browser until 2023 for an estimated $400 million to $450 million per year.

Mozilla is a multibilion corporation. They DO have resources for proper rewrite in Rust. How they spend their money is another thing!

Old code base was good excuse in 2016! Brave Software Inc is much smaller company, and they do advanced stuff like their own search engine!
