If your browser or your OS insist on only trusting $1000 certificate, blocking access to most of the internet, then change the browser or OS. There is no grand authority telling which root certificates can be trusted. Yes, Google or Apple could scam their users this way if they wish to, but it would not make much sense for them. People would use something else.

..and not even 'because I am never happy'. It is the melody that is nothing like happy and hearing it makes me unhappy.

I joined a local maker space and met great people, sharing similar interests. Surprisingly (to me when I joined) most seem to be over 40, like me, and there are as many women as men here.

Yeah 'make a better tea by making it taste less like a tea'. I have seen a lot of that from people who just don't like tea.

Though, for me that also include Brits, who spoil a good tea by adding milk ;-)

Have you ever worked with a computer with modern general-purpose OS like Linux and no RTC? It sucks. It is not strictly necessary, you can live without it, but you need workarounds for basic stuff timestamps in log files or in the file system. At least for a minute until NTP connection is established, but may be longer when internet connection is not available. And when routers are rebooted most often? When troubleshooting broken internet connection. This is also the time when properly timestamped logs could be useful.

And battery backed RTC is cheap. It doesn't fit on a Raspberry Pi board, but can easily fit into a router case. No excuse for omitting it.

This would only give more power to the remaining billionaires, who won't disperse money on their own. This is why it must be a systemic change and not a volunteer action.

Bad zoning laws are bad. And these laws are really bad (forcibly separating 'business' and residential are makes no sense to me) , but completely deregulating that (like allowing residential building directly adjacent to a dangerous chemical plant or in a flood zone) would be as bad.

URLs are definitely encrypted. What can be sent unencrypted are domain names and IP addresses. Which is not a problem when the host name is 'youtube.com', but is a bigger problem if it is 'the-terrorists.com'.

Would you trust Trump more than Putin with Russian nuclear weapons?

In Europe those often cover whole cities.

Exactly the same in Polish (same spelling).

Isn't that their long national tradition? Like with paper technology, silk technology or porcelain technology?
