I am not a lawyer, so consult one.
At one time quite recently, Cloudflare was on Spamhaus's "Don't Route Or Peer" list. Imagine where the world would be if anyone cared about that list.
But if an entire ISP is blocking you based on UCEPROTECT, which is designed for email spam filters - are you sure? An ISP that blocked all of DO would get so many complaints and be open to so much legal liability. Usually these are only used for email filtering.
While other projects rewrite things in memory-safe ways, GNOME's response is to ask a chatbox if there are any memory vulnerabilities.
You think this wouldn't get people who just wanted email to quit Gmail and use something else instead?
If you could attach or insert a wave into an email, that would make more sense.
There isn't an email-shaped slot in society that was being filled by email. The shape of society has changed and email doesn't really fill a slot any more. We have a WhatsApp-shaped slot and a Discord-shaped slot now though.
Airplane engine manufacturers retain ownership of their engines, and sell kilonewton-hours to airlines.
this one doesn't sound that evil though? Just a simple portmanteau that may not sound as stupid in German?
Lightbulbs came in sockets because they were meant to fail. First by accident, later intentionally. They were also quite breakable because they were made of glass. LED lights don't have these problems unless they're designed to. Which is the meta-problem - how do you know which ones are planned obsolete?
Forcing an LED system into a lightbulb from factor has quality and cost implications though. A good LED light has a separate power brick inside the enclosure. Which is what you see in these fan lights.
