The gain would be that an attacker having a foothold on the internal network (by having a physical access or hacking a device on it) would be able to sniff and modify outgoing emails.

I'm a bit sceptical about the performance claim on modern hardware.

That said it's not a completely unreasonable tradeoff.

English weirdly use feminine for ships, so think of it like that. But no it doesn't achieve much.

I don't think it change the way we think about objects much, but probably unconsciously yes. For example, France itself is feminine and seeing some caricature personifying as a dude always feels weird.

Usage dictates the gender. And some recent words are more or less controversial: gameboy, wifi, COVID, Nutella...

When I think about the gender of a word I will usually derive it from a broader category. But that's not always obvious, for example Gameboy is a game console (feminine) but the words game and boy are masculine. COVID is a disease (feminine) but also a virus (masculine). And in the meme a washing machine is a machine (feminine).

You can't not use gender since french doesn't have neutral pronouns. But I don't think it's frowned upon for a non native speaker to make this kind of mistakes.

Looks like it's probably fake, the only source of this claim is some tweet from a random account. I couldn't find anything relevant after last spring, but I suppose the divorce is still not judged. At the time she claimed she was confident she would get her fair share.

In France, doing this at this scale without paying any taxes would probably be very illegal.

And on top of that, the upper house of European parliament doesn't exist as such but it's role is held by the council of minister, where each country executive sends a representative and on a lot of issues, each country has veto power.

Imagine a US senate with with 50 seats filled by state governor appointees and any senator can veto a bill.

Assuming you meant heat and not hear. Upgrading your cooling should not lower the total heat output of your PC (it's more likely to increase it). The only exception is if you somehow send the heat out of the room, but that would be a crazy complicated setup. Your PC always turn the same amount of electric energy into heat energy and dissipate it in the room. if it's more efficient it will cool down the components more, possibly giving them the opportunity to increase frequency further, which increase the power draw, which is turn into more heat that is dissipated in the room.

The target storage device for the image can be over the network if that's an option for you.

I admit the downvote is weird.

No idea where in the world this is, but in Europe, retailers consistently overestimate the number of customers coming by car. For example, this Bristol study where retailers thought 41% of their customers were coming by car but the actual number was 22%.

Ps: oh, this is a Seattle community, that might answer my first question...

He's not even promising that, he's saying he "thinks" he is ahead. And he tells nothing about yields, having the greatest node is useless if you can't deliver volume.

Bob, you know what you have to do. Remove him from Iron Man, that's petty, useless and perfect.

A perfectly common practice: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leveraged_buyout

The buyer is not supposed to kill the value of the company this quickly though.
