Yep, it's got a web server too. With bugs.

I just read Wikipedia's entry on the ME.
The thing can execute Java as well.
The bit at the end is the important part. It says earlier versions of MINIX were designed for education, later versions for availability, and none were designed for "military grade security".
Intel took a copy of an earlier version. The creator of MINIX hopes that Intel did security hardening on it in addition to the changes that Intel asked him to make to the source code.
You will end up with a third world country if you don't have a health service anyone can trust and use.
Tuberculosis is back. Will turning the NHS into another arm of the Border Force meaning that some sick people don't go to seek medical help they need help eradicate it?
I think you know the answer to that one.
If the legendarily inept Home Office need to know about illegal immigration, they could perhaps control one of the world's easiest borders to control a little better than turn the NHS into big brother. They'll probably screw up and get the wrong people anyway.
Doctors are going start asking about sexual orientation even though it's got nothing to do with your visit next year. Where do you draw the line?
I think they've realised how to game YouTube Kids, a verified account and a few family friendly keywords seem to get past Google's algorithms. Then it's up to parents flagging individual videos if they realise their child has seen something strange, Google may or may not remove it, and if it's removed it doesn't matter as it's re-uploaded as soon as it's removed. That's how crap like this never disappears.
The last few videos in the Medium article show some stuff which a bit weird, but there's still plenty of rabbit hole to go down. Just search for "Investigating YouTube - #Elsagate" or "Something strange is happening on Youtube #ElsaGate", appropriately on YouTube.
Preferably in a private browser window not at work. Those are just two videos which talk about what kind of sketchy stuff can be found but it's enough to screw up your YouTube recommendations, which is probably why the article wasn't just a page full of videos.
Then arrange for the YouTube and YouTube Kids apps to 'break' or 'go away' on home devices.
YouTube Kids actually got a pat on the back from the government, mentioned in the same breath as iPlayer Kids. It's at that point you do think that nothing's ever going to get done and you consider sending YouTube to the great /dev/null in the sky.
At the moment I'm using every opportunity to get the fact that the Internet and especially YouTube are not reliable into mine because banning isn't a viable long-term solution. Yeah, thanks school for teaching eight year olds to how to type search requests into Google and YouTube. There's no "warning: anything could be disturbing or a pack of lies", not even "other search engines are available", just "here's how to drink kool-aid from the fountain of Google".
And it's not the first time AMD have bailed out Intel. x64 vs Itanic.
Most new Intel initiatives die a few years later. The only thing they manage to do is keep the x86 zombie alive.
One wonders what they've been doing all this time, apart from relying on their brand name.

The secure boot "golden key" was found a year ago as reported by this very esteemed organ.
Unfortunately too many cretins are blinded by other features and patches are an afterthought.
Other features like removable battery, SD card, dual SIM, and reasonable after-sales service or a phone which is a reasonable price and doesn't click like Flipper or have a screen which burns?
You're pontificating as if Nexus or Pixel were perfect.
Google has stopped updating some Nexus models and others are due to be EOL'd shortly. So much for the updates, they could have at least tried to support devices like Apple does.
That's right, leave no tragedy UNEXPLOITED by political activism.
No, it's pretty obvious that the problem isn't in his phone, it's in letting people unfit to have guns, have guns.
If this turns into another FBI banging on about "we must be able to access his phone for great justice" thing, then that there is the EXPLOITATION. They can use another tragedy to bang on about phones, but not this one because we already know everything we need to know - the army and the police both knew they had to flag him so he couldn't buy a gun, but neither of them did due to procedural failures.
I think most regulars have tuned our headline regex filters to detect Andrew.
Now does that let Google off the hook?
No, no it doesn't.
The level of effluent that emanates from Silicon Valley is damaging society. There isn't a second that goes by without Google giving a Tweet containing a link to a Facebook page full of conspiracy theories the same prominence as news organisations which still cling on to ancient rituals like getting a couple of reliable sources before going ahead with a story. YouTube is full of videos of drug cartel shoot outs, neo-Nazis, ISIS beheadings and YouTube kids is full of extremely dodgy videos aimed at children.
Their advertising network serves malware, their Play Store serves malware, and YouTube and Google News serve malware for wetware. They aren't very good at what they do and they don't even realise they've got a problem. Google's response is always "it's not us, it's the algorithms", "please flag it and it'll go away someday", "oops, never mind, we'll try better, give us a little while would you". They have a RDF bigger than anything Apple ever had back in the day which means they've got away with it for far longer than they should have.
Unfortunately they make up a lot of the Internet, and when politicians finally do come down on them like a tonne of bricks, everything else is going to get caught up in it too.
OS X Lion is the last OS X which runs on Intel machines with a 32-bit EFI. The machine still works and shouldn't go to landfill but it probably will if there's no office suite which runs on it.
Apple should push out an EFI update so a later OS X will run, but that's not going to happen.
"Again, this is due to AOO trying to maintain backwards compatibility with very old versions of OS X (10.7!) and sometimes small variations in libraries can cause some weird interactions."
It came out 6 years ago. It might not be new, but it's hardly ancient. Xcode does most of the heavy lifting for you.

That's half their problem. They market themselves under one name, but then when something goes wrong they drag out the "Thank you Mario, but the product or service you wanted is in another Co-op" line. If one name is good enough to sell you something, one name should be good enough to sort something out when it goes wrong.
Because it has a human being that sees something is called "Update WhatsApp Messenger" from a new developer with a Unicode hack in their name and a rip off of the legitimate app's Play Store resources is not legitimate.
Perhaps Google will update their algorithm to pick up this more often, but then fake app devs will find their way around it (change the Play Store images or description in some subtle way).
There aren't any, but if you choose to bank with Lloyds, Bank of Scotland, Halifax, or Natwest then you know that it's going to go down more than [insert favourite end to saying here].
Past performance may not be indicative of future results, but in this case they probably are.
About not "run by fuckwits", the disasters in Syria, Libya and Egypt say otherwise
Libya - The US decided to get involved after being dragged in by France. Turned out crap.
Syria - The US decided to get involved. Turned out crap.
Egypt - The US decided not to get involved. Turned out crap.
Whatever you do or don't do in the Middle East, it will turn out crap.
