I don’t know how this transaction went down, but it’s very likely they didn’t purchase the organization itself, but rather its assets. The surviving organization would then dispose of the resulting cash in a mission-oriented fashion and shu

I’d imagine many of the same considerations come into play when a structure straddles a state line in the US. I wonder how that’s handled?

I grew up in a poor, rural area of the US and can attest that it's true... if you didn't pay the fee (and affix the requisite metal sign below your mailbox) you were on your own in the event of a fire. At that time and place, fire

There is a built-in feature, known as Application Guard, on Windows 10/11 that gives you exactly this out of the box, with minimal configuration. Biggest downside is that it only works with Edge.

To me, the fact that you’re in an environment where knowing the digits of x/7 is appreciated is the most-impressive thing of all!

Windows for ARM can already run 32-bit x86 executables. They’re working to bring similar support for 64-bit software.

I’m confused... other comments reference ME as the root-of-trust for the system, the chip that brings the CPU out of reset. How can a system be operational without that functionality?
