According to Android Police, Certificate Authority Let’s Encrypt is warning that phones running Android versions before 7.1.1 Nougat won’t trust its root certificate starting in 2021, locking them out of many secure websites. The organization will stop default cross-signing for the certificate that enables this functionality on January 11th, 2021, and will drop the cross-signing partnership entirely on September 1st of that year.

You can try to install Firefox and use its own certificate store, but that won’t help with rival clients or functionality beyond browsers.

About 33.8 percent of Android users on Google Play run a version older than 7.1.

This is that happen if you have literal monopoly on free certificates.

Residents of Scotland were forbidden to spank children for educational purposes.

A new law banning the physical punishment of children under 16 was approved by the Scottish Parliament last year. The ban went into effect on Saturday, November 7th. Previously, parents and guardians in Scotland were allowed to punish children in a similar manner.

The first country in the world to ban flip flops was Sweden in 1979. Scotland turned out to be the 57th country to follow this example. A similar law is expected to be approved in Wales in January 2021. If the law is passed, it will take effect from 2022. In England and Northern Ireland, such a bill is not yet planned to be passed.

So, how about ask parent and teachers if your laws helped? Bad idea, I guess, as answers won't be pleasant.

Spanking works perfect if it is being used at proper time and proper age, without any abuse of the child (!). Idea of modern idiots that parents should have no authority at all is, well, idea of idiots. As they try to make equal abusive parents with real big issues and normal families. Result is directly opposite - as they later try to use government institutions to correct children at the completely wrong age where hard methods don't work at all. Or they just start telling everyone that they are "special" and "alternatively gifted".

Xiaomi held a developer conference this morning to showcase a large number of new technologies, and camera technology was in the focus . In addition to announcing the growing size of the Xiaomi camera team (>1000 people now), Xiaomi also announced a new telescopic camera, which was made by Xiaomi team as an independent research and development project, with a 300% increase in light input and a 20% increase in clarity.

According to Zeng Xuezhong, vice president of Xiaomi Group and president of the mobile phone department, this is Xiaomi taking inspiration from traditional cameras and also new independently developed new retractable lens technology.

This new lens has two major advantages. One is a large aperture, which can increase the amount of light by 300%, which can bring better night scene photography effects.

The second is the introduction of a new anti-shake technology, the picture is more stable, the sharpness is increased by 20%, and it is not easily affected by hand shake when taking pictures.

If someone works 100% remotely, why should their salary be tied to which city they are in? They do exactly the same job if they are in a big city or village.

Actually all major IT companies told exactly this since going to remote work - if you go into cheaper state, your salary will be cut. If you won't inform company and will try to keep getting same money - you will be fired.

In a regime of big industry or of free competition—as we shall see, the two come to the same thing—the price of a commodity is, on the average, always equal to its cost of production. Hence, the price of labor is also equal to the cost of production of labor. But, the costs of production of labor consist of precisely the quantity of means of subsistence necessary to enable the worker to continue working. The worker will therefore get no more for his labor than is necessary for this purpose; the price of labor, or the wage, will, in other words, be the lowest, the minimum, required for the maintenance of life (at the standard usual for specified place).

In cheaper state your labor price is lower, so capitalist do not want to pay you previous amount of money.

Btw it also explain why modern capitalist also badly want you to not have children, as lack of children expenses also reduce labor costs. And present capitalist does not care about the future situation with lack of new labor.
