Many providers actually let you use Wi-Fi calling without any VPN, i.e. they don't arbitrarily restrict the set of allowed IPs that can connect to their Internet gateway.

> If I have troubles receiving SMSs from Germany to German number while in US, would wifi calling icrease the chances of receiving the said SMSs?

Probably not, unless your provider supports inbound and outbound SMS via ISM. If you have an iPhone, you can check whether yours does in Settings -> About -> Tap the name of your carrier. (If it lists "Voice and SMS", you might be good; if it's only "voice" or nothing at all, SMS will go over the visited network.)
For a while—in the ’80s, ’90s, and early 2000s—it felt like nerds were making the world a better place. Now, it feels like the most successful tech companies are making it worse.

Don’t forget Zuckerberg, Musk, Bezos were nerds - don’t blame everything on „corporations”. That is also nerds after they got ahold of influence and money - that is how the story ends.

There are billions of CPUs floating around and none of them are going to be magically prevented from running Linux. New computers in some markets like US and UK, I don’t know, maybe if a hot cyberwar with china breaks out there will be a ban on new PCs that can’t be secured by the NSA but I can’t relate to the hand wringing about losing control, we still live in a capitalist society and there’s enough people that hate Windows randomly breaking shit that there will be other options besides CoPilot PCs and Apple Intelligent Macs.
As brought up through the thread, it sounds more plausible that the hardware talent is most useful near the factories, and due to globalisation and pay discrepancy, fewer factories are being built in UK.

With compensation catching up in developing economies, it will make less and less sense to move production outside a "wealthy" country, and you'll see resurrection of domestic hardware companies.

Right?

How far away are we from the tipping point is beyond me, though (and there are always "cheaper" countries still, even if it's mostly due to lacking legislation and environment protection rules).
PC is not dead. PC is killed.

Just as your iPhone or Android sends GB of data back and forth without your knowledge or approval, our dear friends in Microsoft want a piece of that pie.

Most people are already consumed by the 'machine'. Those who resist will stick to Win10 as much as possible (I got a 2014 laptop that runs Win10Pro and runs perfectly) and my gaming desktop doesn't need an upgrade for another 10 years.

All we need is selective updates, run privacy/blocking tools, change our hosts file, run a firewall (WindowsFirewallControl) on MediumFiltering, etc.

Unfortunately only few can do such fine-tuning to their PCs (a few thousand people in the 8bn people).

The rest will be consumed by the 'machine'. I've mentioned on another topic/comment. We are cattle. We push back very rarely and on very few topics.

I don't know much about LineageOS but GrapheneOS supports attestation (albeit with its own keys) and it works for all the banking apps I have had the displeasure of using here in the UK including revolut.

If LineageOS did support those APIs (which it can support if it wanted to, without any blessing from Google) then presumably most if not all of those should also work.

Try GOS and see if it's broken there. If it works on GOS then you can shout at google for ever exposing the attestation APIs but the apps you're complaining about aren't actually abusing attestation in the way you claim, LineageOS is simply choosing not to implement the features they rely on.
> I think a lot of bloggers know that they want/need SSL, DDoS protection, and a CDN. I wouldn't confuse bloggers with the lowest common denominator general public.

For each blogger who knows what SSL, DDoS and CDN is, there are a hundred people who write their articles and publish them on Facebook to thousands of followers and millions of views. Or do they not count as bloggers?

If we look at the print world, the definition of an author is somebody who writes articles or books. He doesn't have to know how to operate any other machine than a typewriter. Whether he knows how to operate a printing mill has no importance when judging the quality of his penmanship. So why do hackers insist that people who are not Linux server admins do not count as real bloggers?

> And I would also say that the WYSIWYG blogging tools that are still out there are far more flexible than your typical closed wall social media platform. Services like Blogger and Medium have full export functionality as a part of their platforms.

Yes, they are excellent. And much better solutions for non-developers than self hosting WordPress.

At least Vodafone Germany intentionally blocks (or used to block) foreign IPs for their gateway. I'll always trust them to needlessly ruin perfectly fine technologies.

Fortunately, as far as I remember at least iPhones route VoWiFi traffic over a VPN, if any is connected, so that's one way to still use it abroad.
You say that like CPC doesn't carry an ideological implication of its own.

I'd go with Python or JavaScript. It depends on your first project. Python is basically very good with data science and okay at everything else. JavaScript is almost the only way to build a website and okay with other things.

VGA can show wrong colors when one of the pins isn't completely connected, which can happen if you're used to needing to use force to get it connected and you just jam it on and bend a pin.

There is exactly one way to learn programming, just like there is exactly one way to learn a language. You need to do it, you need to actually program things, you need to want to make something.

Here are some things which you should not worry about:

- Which language

- Which editor

- Which course

- Which book

- Which library

- Which operating system

LLMs are also very good at answering questions and explaining things. If you don't know something ask an LLM.
The question is, what else can you call from the dll. Doom is self-contained, so the VBA just passes the inputs to it and gets a new image back. The dll also has to match the architecture, right? So not portable.

Nothing else, no messaging, socials, browsing, or games.

When something isn't easily quantifiable there is no data. OK sure then, but there wouldn't be anyway.

The fact is that people are talking about moving either out of Western Europe / UK to somewhere else and it is a common sentiment amongst many professionals.

> Orbans stated position is to pivot Hungary from a democracy into an illiberal state, modeled after Putin's Russia. At the EU summit in mid-December, for example, he refused to agree to the extension of the Russia sanctions that expire at the end of January.

Can you point me to a translated policy document or a more credible news source from like Hungary that I can translate? I don't take American news sources seriously for European issues as they frequently get basic things incorrect.

> Citations needed.

You can look up the laws yourself and the cases. They can easily be found. They are numerous. The law around speech is quite easy to find on the .gov websites.

> Well no, not explicitly, as they have a different legal and basis for law as the US - e.g. they don't have a codified constitution either as they came from a common law system based on the French Courts. Instead they hold the same proportional right as a negative right to freedom of expression under the common law.

In the UK we literally don't have the right to free speech. I have actually read the law on this issue several years ago. Only in Parliament are you allowed to speak freely. There is nowhere where it says we have these rights, there are no cases that have decided that has ruled we have these rights. This is neither explicitly or implicitly.

> Its a moot point anyway as since 1998, freedom of expression is guaranteed according to Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights across Europe.

Freedom of expression != Free speech. They are not the same thing and that is why hate speech laws exist in the majority of EU countries and in the UK. Time and time again people erroneously equate free-speech with free-expression. The UK government have themselves come out and said something to the effect of "You have the right to free expression, but not saying things we don't like" essentially.

You either are being wilfully ignorant or you are horrendously naive. Go and read the law yourself if you don't believe me.
On the cashier jobs - the thing is that they can rely on fewer and more trained/experienced staff. This may not be a bad outcome for those in the jobs, but it means less availability of casual work.

Which is not the same thing as no availability, but there used to be plenty of this kind of work to go around, such that it was the norm that 17/18 year olds could get it without particularly trying. That is not the case now.

Trying to bring skilled labour into the UK, or trying to get residence as an apparently useful and self-sufficient person, is actually quite difficult, so I'm not sure how all the low-skilled labour ends up here, other than large agencies in areas (social care, farm work) with known skill shortages.. being large agencies, the bureaucratic overhead isn't too bad for them, whereas for an individual or small company, it's more trouble than it's worth. There's no way you can just bring a cleaner over from abroad because you want someone to clean your house/office.

As to shouldn't be happening. Yes. But as for so many other things in the UK and its gradual slide towards a low-trust society. So it becomes a case of figuring out which battles to pick, which ones are genuinely impacting peoples' day to day. And I think collectively (not particularly a left vs right thing), the country has forgotten how to prioritise that.

That's just not true. Being a doctor still ranks among the top professions by wage in the UK at least, especially since the wage is largely the same regardless of area, and making six figures in an area where you can buy a house for under six figures allows you to live a very very nice life.

The NHS and the Empire don't really overlap. It was founded right at the end of the war, shortly before the UK started having to divest from its colonies, and of course it was never a thing in any of the non-UK colonies!

I often think the NHS was only founded as a result of the war, as an extension of the military and civilian healthcare needs for injury care. German bombers didn't respect the British class system.

This is probably the result of a classifier which determines if it have to go through the whole CoT at the start. Mostly on tough problems it does, and otherwise, it just answers as is.

Also not a lawyer, but TikTok is a prominent mode of media, nonetheless. We are slowly turning into China and Russia, with fully governed state controlled media which is the opposite of free speech.
