Not really practical to exempt Spain even if they wanted to, with Spain being within the EU and therefore able to freely move goods and services to other EU nations.

What’s with the ‘cock and balls’ emoticon?

The Open Rights Group - https://www.openrightsgroup.org/blog/ - is probably a reasonable place to start.

Curious about what is scaring you btw.

They may have meant AppleCare+ which covers accidental damage

Well over a million ordinary people protested against the Second Gulf War and it may zero difference.

They do [0]. You can also do it in their app if you are on a contract and therefore over 18 by definition.

I remember them publicly demoing the BlackBerry clone from this article https://www.pcworld.com/article/464050/original_android_prot...

On the Golborne Link, I think they had a fair bit of help from the NIMBYs too

How about the time when one pay TV company (Sky, owned by News Corp at the time) was said to have hacked a rival and released the hack on the internet for pirates to use?

...which is another OSS project from the Home Assistant team :)

Another long-term Vuescan user here. From memory it was the Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X transition and lack of vendor support for the new OS that caused me to seek it out. The only thing I would love for them to add would be a way for the app to self-update.

Not blocked here on 3. You’re right in that the networks often have the “adult content” filter (porn, gambling etc.) turned on, but you should be able to turn it off pretty easily. I suspect it’s that filtering that’s blocking archive.org for you

And to think they had it in their hands in 1997 with StrongARM

There is no 'native' Mac app. Also everyone I've worked with at MS uses Teams in the browser. So I suspect not many at MS even use the desktop app.

There’s a lot of self-deprication in your post. “Sorry if I wasted your time” and “Maybe they decided I might never improve”.

You are worthy and this random internet stranger cares. Imagine for a moment you have the opportunity to ask anyone you imagine to be on HN what they could give you. What would you ask for?

Somewhat related - here's [0] a report on the QR codes that public venues in England can display for patrons to 'check in' using the NHS COVID-19 app to assist with contact tracing

There's nothing that prevents productivity on remote work that can't be handled with the right tools, skills and attitude

Firstly, congrats! It's something I'm working towards myself, and the pandemic looks like it will be a significant opportunity to try and achieve it.

However, perhaps you're minimising your expertise here and the learnings and experience that the employer and the worker need to go through to make it work.

Anything to share here?

I get the feeling you don't pick your battles rationally.

This is most people on HN

I'm not surprised by this:

- The RPi Foundation exists to educate children. There is no mention of "open" on their About page and there are the long running discussions about how open their hardware is and the reliance on proprietary blobs for the GPU [0]

- The 'maker' community interest was originally a surprise to them [1] which still staggers me given that Arduino had long been a thing

- MS has a history of capturing the budgets of educators and attention of young minds. The education computer market in the UK used to be dominated by Acorn and Apple until MS decided they wanted a piece of the pie and decided that computer education in schools should be about learning to use Office [2]
