Yeah, the fact you can use any of the ports on a dream machine as a WAN (its not optimal, but is an option) makes it really easy to have a couple of fallbacks if you really need high redundancy.

This product targets businesses where they will mount it in a fixed position and target a specific tower so they get the best throughput.

Sorry, no. Although Telegrams has encryption it's by default Client-Server, you have to explicitly start a secret chat with individual people. Additionally group chats are not encrypted except between client and server.

I'm not sure of a good alternative as simple as Signal

I'm curious if these new additions to C++ have genuine use cases (as in we could not do this because X) or if there are more academic driven arguments going on here.

Having recently done a lot of work using C++ previously coming from Go and Typescript I find it hard to understand all the reasons for the language to be so flexible.

Obviously right now is probably ill advised as various countries in Europe are dealing with the pandemic differently and vaccination might become a factor at some point down the road.

Find out which European country you want to live in, it's a wide ensemble of laws, culture and practices and simply "moving to Europe" will vary a lot depending on which country you move to.

Language is probably on top of the list, I know in some countries just speaking English will be ok and companies won't care, but you will want to do some research on that (i.e. I lived in Germany for a short time and I'm glad I knew enough German to get around).

As far as software development goes, there isn't a shortage of companies hiring, you might even be lucky enough to find a company that is willing to sponsor your. Check your own countries rules re earning money in another country, they might want to tax you.

Overall I'd say you need to research:

- Which country do you want to go to

- What are their immigration requirements (not all of Europe has the same immigration rules, despite what anti EU idiots think)

- Daily language use

- How much does it cost to rent a place

- How much does it cost to live there (food prices vary a lot)

- Right now this is a terrible idea, but go to the country and stay in the city you think you want to live in and test it out, this isn't a substitution for actually living there, but is a start to find out if you hate it or not

In ref to buying a passport, yes this is an option, some countries still do it, usually quite expensive.

Yes, developers jobs are well paid in London, depending on the company, there are several places that take advantage of their developers and pay poorly. My advice to most London devs is move company often until you find a salary you're happy with, companies need you more than you need the company.

The pitch of this project is not great imo.

Not sure saying it's an open source table is any better but calling it a tool for keeping projects on the go is also just weird.

I think if they had stuck to the CM3 this would have lived a short life of "Oh, this is neat, but ugh so sluggish and can't really use it" to now it's an actually viable alternative to low powered laptop/tablet as you can upgrade it to the cm4 with 8gb ram

So this is article refers to the app developed by a company called Simula which is government owned and does various research in to communications tech and data research.

You can find an interesting self Q and A https://www.simula.no/news/digital-contact-tracing-qa

One of the few smell tests that I wonder if it was a catalyst for the ban is how they explained away not open sourcing the code and using aggregated data to track the spread of the virus.

It all lacked technical details which also is a bad smell test for me

Ultimately the problem with any idea like this is that encryption is as basic as mathematics and trying to ban it will only harm everyday people and the dumb criminal.

The criminals that want to stay hidden will continue to do so because you will always find open source projects that provides encryption.

To clarify that is at current exchange range:

£59.99 = $77.45

$49.99 = £38.72

It's actually twice the price!

So the Google TV dongle is $49.99 in the US but why on earth is it £59.99 in the UK??!!

Edit: Clarify it's the dongle

I would not spend a dime on this, to be honest I'm impressed Stadia isn't shelved yet, but just give it time.

So there wouldn't be anything specific for embedded, you can apply the same testing practice as other systems where you ensure you abstract out the functions in such a way that the logic can be tested.

The complexity about embedded starts want to incorporate the testing with things like IO, which is more end to end testing rather than TDD.
