Re: third change?
I mean ARM is the fifth version or fourth change.
x86-64 is the fourth iteration or third change.

Not in the sense of Intel chips are Intel.
So an ARM developed by additions to ARM's core by a bought in chip design house.
So it's not really Apple designed. They just own the group that enhanced an ARM design and Apple doesn't make any chips. All outsourced. Like the iPad and iPhone.
Originally the iPhone used the Samsung innovative Samsung SC6400, a Samsung enhancement of the ARM with the package containing three layered chips, the CPU-SoC, Flash and RAM. You certainly could not have done that with an Intel CPU then. It used a Samsung display, OS derived from MacOs, which was derived from Next Step, derived from BSD. Bought in Fingerworks to get the touch to work. The capacitive touch had existed for over 15 years, but because smart phones were corporate (since 1998) before iPhone data contract, they used high resolution resistive for annotation and content creation rather than low resolution capacitive.
Apple are really good at spotting tech and buying it in and spotting already succeeding trends and marketing them better. They also have good lawyers for the USPTO applications and court cases.
Also stupid web sites.
Many people doing GUIs and web sites have a mad deranged concept of usability and accessibility. But then Win10 is the worst since Win2.x on accessibility, usability and user configuration.
At least you could turn off garbage on XP and eye candy on Vista. The problem with WinME was under the GUI, it should not have existed. Win98SE or Win2K depending on if games are important. Android and Material Design also seems poor on GUI and UX design. Clueless. Ereaders that don't even run Android are copying stupid, like a tap to toggle check box drawn as a flat slide switch with only a title, not what the two positions are.
The operative word is DISPLAYED!
They are not running on the PC. We had this 20+ years ago if you added an X-server on Windows NT 4.0 and connected to a remote box running Linux!
Also 10 years ago USB networking and remote window on XP desktop from a gadget or portable game console.
Some apps, which block casting, simply won't work while others may need a touch-enabled PC for interaction. The PC and phone must also be on the same Wi-Fi network and, in a surreal twist, any sound produced by the app will come from the phone not the PC.
And why only Samsung phones?
Seems like a pointless gimmick.
Also casting over wifi to a 4K HDR TV is dreadful on a new phone or tablet compared to a phone with a 5 year old phone that has a micro-HDMI socket. Casting eats up massive WiFi bandwidth, awkward to start and doesn't actually work on many applications. Try using casting and internet at the same time on WiFi on the phone or tablet!
It's like buying a phone or DVD player or Digital Organiser. Not like buying a Mac or PC. Android is actually also very limited.
If you want something very flexible buy an Android or Windows tablet that can have Linux installed. Some gadgety things even have user accessible Linux, others like some ereaders, routers, TVs etc, not so much.
At this stage people would know what an iPad or iPhone normally does.
Even a cheap battery LED lamp, never mind a mains reading lamp is superior to a backlight keyboard.
The real use cases for a backlit keyboard are:
1) Multilingual, where the the layout illuminated changes. Say English plus one off Cyrillic, Hebrew, Thai, Korean, Hindi, Arabic etc.
2) Full four characters per Key universal Western keyboard using a 2nd shift (usually AltGr on Linux).
Unless it's gaming, £499 buys a very good laptop with a non-reflective full HD screen. Add Linux Mint with Mate desktop and a VM for you old windows, imaged from old laptop using free MS Disk2vhd.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/disk2vhd
No doubt this is a good idea if you already bought an iPad and don't have any sort of laptop. Though usable USB or Bluetooth keyboards are £10 to £20. Some even with a switch for Android, Apple, Windows, though I've found that if you have SW remapping utility / app they all work on anything. USB keyboards can be got (suits Android) with a prewired USB2Go mini or micro USB plug. Or you can use a £5 adaptor. The proprietary wireless keyboards with a USB dongle work on Android TV, Windows XP and later, Linux and Android (not all versions). Not tried those on a Mac.
Obviously the sockets on a iPad mean that Bluetooth is simplest to connect.
And for gaming really you want a PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox etc, not a Windows laptop. Or some sort of custom desktop.
Yes, I have several XP VMs on Linux. One is an image of my 2002 to 2016 Laptop, only re-installed once in late May 2002. It looks more like NT4.0/Win9x/Win2K than the default XP. Even Win7 (aka Vista SP2) could be decently customised. Win10 is like Win 2.x on Hercules. Or a bad version of Android with windows.
The imaging tool is an MS download to allow compatibility on Win10 by putting a VM of your oldd Windows. Free on MS Website
See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/disk2vhd
It actually has three checkboxes, not two. You need to check "For VM" (or something, it's the extra check) and uncheck "Shadow volume"
Works as long as the Windows isn't using EFI boot. I think even if PC is UEFI, if the install used BIOS mode the VM will work.
Might work for Vista and Win7?
Office needs reactivated. But that's a free phone call and a robot with no awkward questions.
I used an subdirectory on an external 1T USB HDD and it runs faster than original. I used the Mint distro VM and installed the Guest Tools (which basically add sound, network, graphics and USB drivers).
Real serial port SW on the XP VM works with a USB serial adaptor on Linux, mapped. Even a Sony USB Web cam unsupported by Linux works. Sadly no way to add the PCMCIA peripherals such as an Adaptec 1460, nor I have I found a solution for Firewire.
Having SCSI on anything other than a desktop with real full PCI slots now seems impossible. Supposed Firewire - USB adaptors like a plug seem to be for stuff that actually really also has USB in it? I can't see how they can work with a DV camera.
Also there was Zero obligation to trigger Article 50 on ANY particular date. Any sensible Government would have sat down and figured out what the Withdrawal agreement might look like, what to do about N.I. and Gibraltar and what future deal they wanted BEFORE invoking Article 50.
The UK has 2/3rds of Ulster and Ireland has 1/3rd. N.I. is 6 of the 9 Ulster Counties.
Scotland being independent is thus more likely than Ulster.
I can't see N.I. being independent unless USA, EU, or UN agree to pay for it. I know the Irish Government has just voted to give €250m to NI, but really it's for a road. Look at where Letterkenny, Donegal (part of Ireland the nation) and Dublin, Athlone, Dundalk etc are.
There is no rail or even dual carriageway up the West, either. Getting to Galway from Cork, Limerick, Waterford or Dublin is easy. Sligo harder. But Letterkenny?
It was so if you answered in the hall, or under the stairs, or the kitchen, you could set down the handset and pick it up in the boudoir, library or study.
Also such phone systems in many countries used a third wire to disable the bell on all the phones when you picked up to dial out.
As the phones, and indeed rural party lines, were in parallel, having two off hook would reduce to volume to about half. Also if someone else on the same internal line or party line picked up you'd hear the click of the extra DC load to power the carbon microphone and the volume would reduce. Seldom agitated, infrequently used carbon microphones would also often crackle.
As kids in the 1970s we used two phones connected via top two wires of the fence with a 6V spring top lantern battery for power. No bell other than a faint tinkle, but good volume.
In the late Victorian era before valves (tubes) they even put a carbon microphone and 2000 Ohm earpiece in a sealed box sharing a diaphragm. Then add two off 3V batteries, external carbon microphone and 2 x 2000 Ohm earphones as a headset and you had a hearing aid not surpassed by valves till about 1927, and even then the valves needed a 90V HT and 2V lead acid. By 1950 the valve hearing aids used 2 x 0.7V filament valves off a 1.5V dry cell and one or two miniature 22V batteries about PP3 size.
Also how is it Serverless? It's real servers belonging to Amazon.
Also Amazon makes a good profit from AWS.
Like getting rid of most other BBC Engineering, this is simply outsourcing, a thing loved by Accountants and Marketing people, because obviously the only thing that matters is marketing the Brand with the lowest in house overhead..
Though a Government forced the outsourcing of the National Transmitter infrastructure, they'd do it anyway.
That's a different sort of Autonomy. Nothing to do with what the article is talking about. 2025 is only a little more than 4 years away and the issues of genuinely autonomous vehicles on ordinary roads are not solved yet. Ships, trains, aircraft and even trams are easier problems. Aircraft and ships can be autonomous. I'm a bit baffled why people are talking about cars, trucks and taxis when most trains have drivers.
This is why you should block all third party scripts, especially ads. Google's Ad service has been used in the past to serve malware on the BBC and CNN and other popular sites.
NoScript, uBlock and uMatrix can be more effective than AV and won't quarenteen your real applications or OS components.
I'm puzzled. I've had Chromium for ages on Linux Mint, via the Software Manager GUI. It's not the snap version. I use it just for a particular logged in Google service. I use Waterfox with uMatrix and Classic Theme Restorer, Classic Repository and Cookie Swap plug-ins for everyday use.
I also get regular updates of Chromium and Waterfox and Firefox via the Update Manager.
So why are eBay.co.uk and PayPal using it on EXISTING Users logging in?
You enter user name, password and then have the stupid multiple picture quizzes.
OBVIOUSLY it's useless as a 2FA. It's supposedly authenticating that it's a human logging in.
There is no valid reason to have 3rd party cookies. I block all of those all the time on laptop and Mobile. They are purely malicious trackers nothing to do with the site. A privacy notice doesn't make them legal in the EU. This can be true for many actual site cookies. A privacy notice with Click Next to Continue is not obtaining consent.
""In my opinion, organizations in Europe that use reCAPTCHA for spam protection now need to move reCAPTCHA behind their consent walls," he said.
No, they need to stop using it. It's abusive even if not used somehow for adverts. Also giving consent or not accessing the resource is toxic. Very many cookie consent forms are actually illegal.
Nonsense.
Problems with it:
Ebay.co.uk is using it as well as login, but denies it. Not always.
Sometimes PayPal uses it, like when you click on a link in an email to confirm a new email.
It's US cultured. Loads of people outside the USA wouldn't know taxis are yellow rather than black or random. Or that a crosswalk is a Zebra crossing.
It's obviously a parasite using crowd funding to train so called self driving cars.
The images can be too small.

IT'S ABUSIVE, CULTURALLY BIASED and an INVASION OF PRIVACY. It's all about Google, not genuinely anti-spam.
It's also being misused by website operators. It is NOT part of 2FA. Nuke it from orbit!
Currently the RISC-V is of more interest as a Server and people investigating RISC-V, rather than very low power general purpose board with a wide range of OS, software, application use and from one-off hobbyists to industrial integrators.
It's more complex than that and RISC is a bit of a misnomer.
Intel's i960 wasn't bad back then. Popular on RAID controllers. They also obtained DEC's Strong ARM family, most of which were sold to Marvell. They might still have an ARM based comms chip and some sort of ARM licence.
They overfocused on x86 and then HPs inspired Itanium which seems to have been illfated. Shortest XP support?
Not true for some games, at least to start them.
Also plenty of older XP / Vista games yet they pulled the plug on XP being able to use an already installed game.
Also I hate DVD cased games that have no indication on the packaging that are actually only an Internet installer for Steam or something else you can simply go to directly. Not sure when Steam support ends for Win7. But for a long while it's been a better idea to use a PS4 for gaming. I see the optical drives are option versions of 2020 Xbox and PS5.
Welcome to the 1960s, where you need the connection to a server for anything. Is Office 365 & cloud replacing purely local MS Office? You'd think so searching MS site for Office Patches, Add ons and converters.
Maybe said by Cardinal Richelieu?
Qu'on me donne six lignes écrites de la main du plus honnête homme, j'y trouverai de quoi le faire pendre.If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him.
See also proven NSA / CIA etc backdoors in Cisco gear. Juniper is a major competitor.
Could Huawei be being banned in USA and UK etc (Five Eyes and friends dominated by USA), because they won't add US backdoors?
GCHQ audit revealed no backdoors in Huawei, but poor code quality.
No surprise as that was well known on Huawei routers supplied by many UK & Ireland ISPs. But also true of almost everyone.
I switched to Brave on all my Androids as Firefox sort of broke their GUI. I switched long ago on 64 bit Linux from Firefox to Waterfox due to stupid changes. I use Classic Theme restorer to make the Waterfox GUI sane, but I think Firefox disabled that and lots of other stuff which is why I switched to Waterfox. Still using uMatrix for blocking scripts, though I used to use NoScript.
1) The UK actually has missile secrets?
2) This is already after he lost his job?
3) If they couldn't access his whatever how do they know what he leaked?
4) Is it all simply because he complained about the Police earlier?
I know someone that was brought to court on a minor charge and told by their own solicitor that they had to plead guilty, even though the police where allegedly lying, because otherwise the police would bring a more serious charge. No third party witnesses to the alleged behaviour which involved no theft, damages or threats or anything else. Allegedly the police purely assuming what the person was going to do and then said it did happen to justify their initial bad treatment of their suspect.
There needs to be greater independent oversight of the Police. The current solution of having police from a different group investigate a complaint is totally rubbish.
I have a Wireless one about phone size, though needs a dongle because it's not BT, OTOH it works better than any BT keyboard I ever had. It has a touch pad and mouse buttons.
I've also a pair of 8" folio cases with USB keyboards. One has mini-USB plug (works with a USB2GO micro plug with integral mini USB socket and one has a USB2GO microUSB plug.
But I've stopped going out, so I use the laptop to type on Viber or email and phone answers the "I'm at the checkout, where are you" calls.
I had to get a paid playstore app for decent support of a UK layout, accented letters etc on Android. EKH or something. Though later Androids are slightly better for non-USA keyboards.
At least Personal Skype was free and MS had more or less broken it anyway by the time you could only use an MS account.
See also Minecraft, which MS bought.
When are the so called Tech companies going to be reigned in? Apple and Microsoft are Tech, but really Google, Facebook and Amazon just leverage technology.
These are shocking lists

The real tech companies don't have a great look either. Oracle, Microsoft, Apple, IBM, Qualcomm etc.
