Even though I dislike SQL on many levels, I would be hard pressed to find a better, widely supported alternative. I gave up writing portable SQL and just target PostgreSQL now.

None. The privileges that I was supposed to enjoy thanks to my gender were either vastly exaggerated or already revoked.

But I still get to "enjoy" the measures installed to counterbalance and compensate for them anyway.

Lucky you. I don't. And the voters for "equality" massively voted to keep it that way for me a few months ago [0]

We have been repeatedly told that "equality" is primordial to our values. That men had to forego their privileges in the name of it.

The hypocrisy of the defenders of those ideas suddenly being so complacent when we look at the other side of the coin is revolting.

But at least it seems they didn't go for the easy solutions that is mass immigration, so hopefully their children's "seats" won't be taken when they finally wake up.

On the other hand, as someone living in Central Europe, it's obvious our society is heading towards a radical change. I don't know what will happen, but I don't recall ever reading about a indigenous population becoming a minority being a good thing for them.

Not everywhere though; it's up to the canton or municipality to implement this. It's literally the only reason I still buy stamps. Should be made a thing at the federal level imho.

I don't necessarily expect their secret sauce to be openly available. But given the grandiose claims made there, I do expect something to back it up other than a corpospeak "trust me bro".

Seems like a serious oversight if this is your selling point.

Using war to divert unwanted attention away from domestic issues is a proven approach.

That said, the article does mention replacing basically all the hardware and still encountering the issue. FWIW, my personal experience with Apple software so far is that the usage expected for Average Joe is well tested and polished. But stepping outside of that, it's "Here be dragons" territory very quickly.

The timing of this problem is weird. Hard not to see a link with the recent troubles with Visa and Mastercard, even if Valve claims that it's not the case.

I don't understand why none of the other manufacturers implemented those. I wish the Steam Deck had just a little bit of extra power, but I'm not willing to part with those pads. I'm eagerly waiting for the Steam Deck 2.
