Bans and advertising and showing smoking in movies did that.

In a desktop, couldn't you assign a GPU to one video machine and in that scenario would there still be a security problem when there is only one VM using it?


It’s not about virtual machines. GPUs typically have direct memory access to pretty much all system RAM. There exist PCIe mitigations, but the review does not meet up to Qubes security standards.


Yes, this is what qubes would probably suggest as the solution.


Actually interesting, do ISP levels blocks mandated by government apply to planes in their airspace using satellite internet?



I wonder if that is currently legal under DMCA Safeharbor. Might need legal changes to punish abusers.


People are having fewer children than they explicitly say they want to have.


It'll be much harder to get a politician to flip on an issue that voters care about but much easier to get them to vote one way on an obscure regulation that most voters have never heard of.


From looking at their website, that is 8 years of software updates. Not 8 years of Android version updates. Apple has released security updates for 10 year old devices such as iOS 12.5.7 which released in 2023 and runs on iPhone 5s.


FP5 owner here. IIRC, this is a guarantee for security updates at least, yes. There was some promise on how many major android updates they guarantee I think, but I forgot the details. I also wonder if and how far the promised minimum will be exceeded.

That said, I am just glad Fairphones are usually relatively well covered by open source versions of android and other operating systems. Even if I may need another phone for banking apps and all that annoying stuff in 2030 or so, I can at least safely re-use it for other purposes. My "old" Android is now nothing more than an offline mp3 player, which is kinda sad.


uunencode the data and split into as many emails as necessary


The sell but Apple makes around twice as much from services as they do from Mac. Wearables are even bigger than Mac. And within Mac, 90% of sales are laptops. I don't think Apple focuses that much about desktop Macs.
