How the fuck did that thing ever become road legal. I think in some countries it even straight up isn’t iirc.

I think it’s sarcasm mate.

But isn’t that part of making the reader explore and experience the world of magic, just like Harry is? There’s no narrator here who already knows everything, you’re experiencing the stories through the eyes of Harry, and only really know what he knows. In that context, it doesn’t really make sense to have these early clues. The reader can’t anticipate everything because Harry can’t either.

Magic in general is just a plot device that can do whatever the author needs it to do.

I’m pretty sure Olivander already mentions when Harry chooses his wand that it’s basically a twin of Voldemort’s, and in the subsequent books it’s explained that that + Lily’s magic is causing plenty of weird things to happen, including what happens in book 4. Sure, the exact reason why it happens is still “magic” but that goes for most magic systems if you delve deep enough.

Mostly the photography market as far as I know, those raw images take up a lot of space.

Pretty sure the reasoning behind that was given in book 1.

That’s merely one interpretation of quantum mechanics. There are others that don’t conclude this (though they come with their own caveats, which haven’t been disproven but they seem unpalatable to most physicists).

Still, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle does claim that even if the universe is predictable, it’s essentially impossible to gather the information to actually predict it.

Kilo is metric for 1000, not 1024. To remain consistent it was changed.

Tuta would also be required to implement a backdoor in their encryption if this law passes. In this post they’ve stated they will refuse to do so, because it’s not possible.

I think most people’s alternative to a touchsceen is a mouse, not the touchpad.

Unfortunately the bare minimum is in most cases already enough to uniquely fingerprint you.

Not really. The “fingerprint” is not one thing, it’s many, e.g. what fonts are installed, what extensions are used, screen size, results of drawing on a canvas, etc… Most of this stuff is also in some way related to the regular operation of a website, so many of these can’t be blocked.

You could maybe spoof all these things, but some websites may stop behaving correctly.

Switzerland was a part of the wars of the 2nd, 5th and 6th coalition against Napoleon against the British.

I wonder if that’d work. Do a crowdfunding for certain legislation, and pay it out to whoever votes for it (with a bonus for whoever first proposes the legislation). Dystopian as fuck, but perhaps worth an experiment.

Lmao I guess nobody uses guns to take a fortress either.

I use Projectivy at the moment. Pretty close to stock visually, just without the ads or apps you can’t hide. Enough for me to make it tolerable.

I have a Philips GoogleTV. I installed a different app launcher on it, now I don’t get any ads anywhere anymore.

Ah, Chinese people not using the meme to make fun of Xi must be why Xi banned it from Chinese websites. Must be all those western chauvinists that frequent Chinese websites.

Makes total sense. I gotchu.

I don’t mind opposing views. I do mind views that say some of my family members or some of my friends should kill themselves. I have no business on a platform that allows such hateful conduct, end of story.

It’s a matter of basic decency and respect.
