OK, fair enough. That's certainly a detail missing from the reporting. I don't envy your position.

It's quite misleading to refer to them as "escaping the horrible realities of Putin's regime" like they were some kind of defectors, when according to your source they were all working as representatives of Russian labs,

Many years ago when I worked on the Triggertrap camera trigger we'd set up a "scream booth" at events, using the sound trigger. It was a great way of getting attention, and generating content that people want to share. http

Most people don't go to college to learn for the sake of learning – that would be a very expensive luxury. They go for the opportunities that it opens up. The learning itself helps with that, but so does being able to prove that they&#

Bank logins use session cookies that are cleared when the browser closes. Unless RAM is preserved you'll need to re-open your browser, so they'll be lost.

Wait, so your use case here is that you login to online banking and while you are paying your bills or whatever your computer dies, you pull the drive from the computer that just died and put it into the new computer, boot it back up all wi

There's nothing in this spec that says there needs to be a restriction of one session per TPM. There isn't even anything that forces the client to use a TPM. It just requires the client to generate a key pair, and then use that to

The UK uses metric for almost everything. Miles/mph for driving and pints in the pub are the only things that are always non-metric. Human height and weight are the only other thing that is often non-metric, and even then a lot of peop

fwiw, it works fine with the Pixel's built-in QR code scanner. It recognises it as text, not a URL, but it can copy to clipboard and then pasting in the browser works. Obviously I then die immediately because none of the controls work,

The prime minister in the UK is regularly kicked out by their party, and it's the same in most parliamentary systems. Liz Truss introduced ridiculous ideological economic policies that caused a bond market revolt. Her party kicked her

And it's not just (or even mostly) costs. Nowhere in the world has supply chains anything like the Pearl River Delta. Need the most esoteric component imaginable? There's probably a factory down the road that can supply it, MOQ 1

This is semantics though. They were for all intents and purposes fired. Being placed on leave pending termination has been the standard playbook for most of these RIFs, and I would bet is what happened to all of the others that were fired a

The ones I see aren't explicitly anti-Trump, but rather pro-press freedom. The one I just saw said "It’s clear that in 2025 rigorously fact-checked journalism will be more vital than ever". That said, being anti-Trump is not
