Yes, you can control the phone programmatically if you unlock it and put it into dev mode.

Because no one wants to pay for anything.

Microsoft never cared about piracy. They even legalised all Windows 7 installations which migrated to Windows 10 and they host a 3rd party activator for all of their products. They only do crackdowns on pirated software in corporate setting and on sellers of pirates copies. Sharing copies for free is fine with them. You can also download their software for free from microsoft.com and new activation rules mean that their software will work forever without activation.

Well, the author of the Cyberpunk universe is Mike Pondsmith, who’s American and the game setting is in the US.

They will also have a chance to defect and then finally have a life somewhere in Europe. Or maybe even migrate to South Korea later on.

The difference between the czar and Putin is that many people in Russia are (or were, before the war) living a decently good life. But back in the days if you were not an aristocrat, you were pretty much a slave living in utterly horrible conditions. Wikipedia can give you a quick overview of 19th century - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Russia

In short: non stop wars with everyone (over 1m civilian peasants died in just 1812 alone), serfdom (literally slavery in the case of the Russian Empire) was only abolished in 1861, Russians endured SIX cholera pandemics during the century before the revolution with millions dead, there was a massive famine at the turn of the century, and lack of industrialisation meant that the economy of Russian Empire was dying. The late Russian Empire was a meat grinder, people had nothing to lose. And they knew that they will die soon anyways, either from famine, physical abuse or an illness.

Yeah, why keep a feature which doesn’t work? Once they add missing stuff to the renderer, they’ll add XL support back. But I guess that will take a few years.

Not sure what you mean by “Google killed it”. JPEG XL proposal was only submitted in 2018 and it got standardized in 2022. It has a lot of features which are not available in browsers yet, like HDR support (support for HDR photos in Chrome on Android was only added 8 months ago, Firefox doesn’t support HDR in any shape at all), no browsers support 32 bits per component, there’s no support for thermal data or volume data, etc. You can’t just plug libjxl and call it a day, you have to rework your rendering pipeline to add all these features.

I’d argue that Google is actually working pretty hard on their pipeline to add missing features. Can’t say the same about Mozilla, who can’t even implement HDR for videos for over a decade now.

Literally every app that matters supports it.

I’m using XNView since forever and it has support for pretty much any format imaginable, including webp.

Windows doesn’t crash at all. Even if your GPU crashes, Windows will just blink, reload the driver and you’ll be none the wiser that something has happened.

A simple espresso here in London - £265 (https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/britain-most-expensive-price-cup-coffee-shot-mayfair-b1152253.html). I’ll see myself out…

If only you had any semblance of intelligence.

It is exactly that. Otherwise Marx wouldn’t praise the Taiping massacre, which led to tens of millions of deaths.

Please stop whitewashing a genocide.

Lol ok. Brainwashing is hard in you.

Because the US is an authoritarian pseudo democracy being run by cartels. And free market and capitalism is a death sentence for them.

Lol ok

That’s a myth peddled by Americans.
