   yes, and it will happily run on a reasonable OpenWRT system such as a GL.iNet Flint 2.

   Yes, and that option is in most desktop environments' keyboard configuration dialogs.

   Though much less awesome was all the Flash, Realplayer and other plugins required.

   The historical Java patterns of factories of gizmos modified by adapters on adapters etc. really makes the large codebases miserable to work on. Along its enterprise lifespan it picked up all the fad modelling/project jargon/pattern nonsense (which as you rightly say were there to limit creativity) and that is now embedded in codebases. It might be that a new Java enterprise application started from scratch would be lovely, but those are rarely seen in the actual enterprise world.

   I don't think it was ever uncool because of the core language, it was always uncool because of the standard libraries, UIs and culture.

   I'd be interested to know how you think the business folks should judge the benefit statements without the detail that they could run by experienced developers? Surely they get a lot of vapourware pitches all the time.

   > Nothing about downloading an MP3 that says they can't put a targeted ad in it; there's podcasts that do that based on your IP. I assume the reason most don't is just how much more trustworthy it sounds when the host reads an ad script live in the episode.

   I'm in the UK and noticed both kind of happening: an ad for LinkedIn (I think) was localised to use a UK example in several episodes of This American Life during the last year. It was spliced into the programs seamlessly and sounded just like any of their usual sponsorship segments.

   I'm presuming they just edited a handful of versions of the program for their largest listener regions and there was no need to do anything on the fly except pick which to serve. Of course I paid little attention to the ad as I was distracted more by it being the first time I'd noticed that kind of localisation.

   The main purpose of that statement (as always with Ryanair) was to state it was outside of their control and therefore they will auto-reject any claims for delay compensation, regardless of legality.

   You should be able to disble those apps for your user with adb without root:

     adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.[miui,android,xiaomi].<appname>
   

   Have you investigated if xiaomi.eu firmwares successfully curtail those connections?

    I really miss the compose key functionality from X11 whenever I use Mac or Windows. No need to remember weird number codes or open applets.

    To be fair to hue, the REST JSON API to the local hub is well documented by Philips and you can disable it contacting its cloud infrastructure via this API (and many apps) if you wish - all without hacks.

    In Western Europe at least, all faucets, unless labelled otherwise, will provide high quality drinking water. This is appreciated when you see some kid licking and slobbering on the drinking fountain in the USA… https://www.tripsavvy.com/tap-water-in-europe-3150039

    Even when the author states that now as a result of that selfishness OpenBSD won't get notified about vulnerabilities until well after everyone else?

    Wanted to eject a disk back then? Drag it onto the trash can. Not the most clever ui decision in the days when formatting floppy disks was a common task.

    All I remember is the spammy nag screens every time it was updated: "Why not buy Quicktime Pro?" and Apple's hideous brushed steel UI which often didn't quiet render correctly.
