Still I expected them to try harder this time, because the technologies to develop a good GPU, are strategically important in other areas too

I think I read somewhere that they're having problems getting AIB partners for Battlemage. That would be a significant impediment for continuing in the consumer desktop market unless Battlemage can perform better (business-wise) than Alchemist.

They probably will continue investing in GPU even if they give up on Arc, it might just be for the specialized stuff.

I believe it actually is used in regular Mint (the Debian kernel doesn't include it, but it looks like Ubuntu's and Mint's do). But yes, I suppose it is still in the process of being adopted by various distributions.

To be fair here, no one's certain this will be cost-effective either. The new techs make it worth trying though.

As far as I know, Linux ignores NTFS permissions when given raw access to a disk, or rather, acts as thought it's SYSTEM or some other high-level user, working around anything Windows might have set.

I think that was the case for ntfs-3g.

I'm not certain that's the case anymore with the new kernel NTFS driver, though I havent tested it. If it isn't, it should be correctly handling the file premissions.

I'd try Heiboard again, but it didn't have built-in layout options, nor a clearly communicated way to get them last I tried it.

I think that's on the development plate for 0.5 if I understand correctly.

Sadly AnysoftKeyboard hasn't seen a release in some time either. Still using it for now, though.

I'm surprised it's not mentioned in the article, but also complicating this situation is the Chagos refugees seeking to take control of the TLD and/or receive reparations from the current registrar.

Their relationship had been kind of good until recently as there has been an uptick in dissatisfaction on the status quo of Taiwan's political status (unspoken independence) — mostly on China's side, but also from some Taiwanese.

They remain important trading partners for each other, though.

It's not that it's a threat, it's that there's a difference between archiving for preservation and crawling other people's content for the purpose of making money off it (in a way that does not benefit the content creator).

Not all applications on your computer may be encrypting their packet traffic properly, though. That goes especially for the applications that might be trying to reach out for resources on your local home network (like printers, file shares, and other home servers) as well as DNS requests which are usually still made in the open. I would not recommend eschewing an entire security layer willy-nilly like that. On public Wi-Fi, I would definitely still suggest either a VPN or using your cell phone as a tether or secure hotspot instead if possible.

Sony holds the rights to a bunch of them.

MZLA makes Thunderbird. Mozilla Corp makes Firefox. Mozilla Foundation owns both.
