They were years ahead of the curve with AI hardware, and they’re well placed to benefit from the AI craze.
Regardless of whether a company’s AI product is useful, or profitable, they need lot of hardware to make it run.

Yes, AppImage can run on more distro.
Still AppImage has disadvantages over DEB: No auto-update, No/less system integration, Bigger install packages.
They can’t possibly provide a package for every distro.
Signal’s model, ie keep tight control over development and distribution of the client, and the absence of federation, it well suited for Apple/Google’s stores, but not at all for open-source and Linux’ ecosystem.
Some projects of Signal-compatible clients and forks received a message from a Signal representrive requesting they stop distributing unofficial clients that connect to their servers.
That probably has on shilling effect on Linux distribution that may be considering building and distributing Signal in their repository.
Don’t waste time trying to reason them. If you’re not able and willing and sue them to enforce the GPL license, the company won’t care.
You should directly informe one of the organisations mentioned previously, they may have a lawyer and experience fighting this kind of fight.
Best you can do youself is collect evidence that they’re distributing modified GPL software, and write a precise description of the issue, to help these organisations kickstart their investigation into the GPL violation.
This is a common issue in software, not limited to scripting. Software are getting more and more layers of wrappers/adapter code, like a Russian doll. It contributes to dependency hell, as each layer brings new dependencies.
Developers often find it easier to wrap existing apps and software, and add another layer on top, rather than improving or replacing what exists.
Not surprising. If there’s a way for a non-admin user to use this, it means there’s probably a way for a non-admin process to access the data.
Even if if were more secure, there’s probably plenty of ways for attackers to escalate privileges to admin.
The bigger issue is Microsoft providing an official tool for snooping on user activity. Malware won’t have to install their own, and recall taking screenshots periodically won’t be considered anomalous behaviour since it’s an official Microsoft service.
No toothbrush will last a lifetime, so maybe don’t put $320 in it
It sounds like this is completely clickbait article, bordering on misinformation.
Ahah, I just told myself: cannot wait for Adam Something to debunk this
Ghostery, Disconnect, Privacy Badger, etc
- Redundant with Total Cookie Protection (dFPI)
Privacy Badger does more than dFPI. dFPI just isolate cookies. Privacy Badger blocks cookies. And completely block connection to some hosts that are dedicated to tracking, which prevent other forms of tracking that aren’t cookie-based.
In that blog post, google does not commit to open sourcing these play services features, to integrate in future system upgrade.
I would love to be proven wrong.
Many of these are Google Play Services features, so it won’t be available to users open-source Android flavors that are google-free.
There are 42 RIPE Atlas probes online in Hong Kong.
Someone part of the Atlas network could check this against various probes.
They had a choice between complying to censorship, or refusing to play along and if necessary stop doing business in Hong Kong.
In the past, Google Search got out of China for the same reason.
I wonder if that’d work, or if the Great Firewall of China already blocks it in Hong Kong
… hackers are invited to find new ways to break into widely used software, like Safari, Adobe Flash
Flash? What year is this !?
Okay, I misinterpreted your comment.
Having a backup at a cloud provider is fine, as long as there is at least one other backup that isn’t with this provider.
Cloud provider seems to do a good job protecting against hardware failure, but can do poorly with arbitrary account bans, and sometimes have mishaps due to configuration problems.
Whereas a DIY backup solution is often more subject to hardware problems (disk failure, fire, flooding, theft, …), but there’s no risk of account problem.
A mix is fine to protect against different kind of issues.
That sounds a bit contradictory but there’s an important details. Part of the accusation seems to be about picking winners, ie giving subsidies to specific companies rather than the sector as a whole.
If that’s true then a tweak to subsidies might technically solve the issue without changing the EU-China competition balance.
IMHO the EU should focus on carbon border tax, and on doing it quickly and efficiently. The idea is taxing import from countries that don’t tax pollution, or at least less than the EU does, to make competing companies subject to similar emissions tax/regulation.
