Does this mean that the case will be immediately dropped since he was the only accused?

The biggest fail here was that 32 bit program warning, which probably alerted the employee.
Notice that they didn't actually have an alert for Firefox+Shell, they detected that later by inspecting the audit logs.

> A criminal gang operating in India kidnapped and tortured cryptocurrency traders in recent weeks before demanding 80 bitcoins as ransom, police say. Three men had been held captive for 15 days inside a high-rise building and were beaten or tortured... Not even their family members were aware of the abduction. The victims had lost all hope because they had no access to anyone

Fake IDs in EU don't really work, since anyone who really cares (banks, police, ...) will just read the info from the machine readable zone and run that against the relevant database. So EU IDs are more like a web-server session cookie, you can't just make one up.
There are online services who also provide this for a cost: https://www.idcheck.io

> Either way, it's really funny that we need a state-of-art 64 core CPU to exceed 60 fps in AV1 encode.
When H.264 was introduced, you needed a state of the art CPU just to play it back... You can imagine how slow encoding it was.

That's not wrong though. Reality is a social construct.

> These apps seem to be popular with device manufacturers.
All apps written by device manufacturers are crap, regardless of what they are written in. It has nothing to do with Electron, just with the fact that they only know how to do hardware, and are clueless on the software side.

Maya uses Qt since 2010, before Electron existed.

What Qt needs is more Electron.
Please show me one major new desktop application written today which uses Qt. Major meaning used by millions of people.

Wrong. Science must absolutely be activist, they are in the best position to improve society and combat fascist movements.
Nature itself said it:
> As if full-time research weren't time-consuming and challenging enough, nanophysicist Michael Stopa embraced a second occupation while at the bench: politics.

notathing | 6 years ago | on: Scientists must rise above politics and restate their value to society
Indeed. But we need to go further than that. There are (a few) scientists which identify with the Right, or worse, challenge some climate change facts. They should be fired, we can't have science legitimize fascists movements or throw doubt on established science facts.

Exactly. These butts are highly problematic. They promote an unhealthy and unattainable butt image. We need more butt diversity, more real butts - thicc butts, old butts, slagging butts.

It's weird for such a small country to have such big reserves.
Why not spend some on infrastructure/whatever?
Maybe they use the reserve as some sort of geo-political insurance against possible shocks (whatever those might be)

Today's financial world is sooo complicated, that there is no simple model. Remember that anything remotely predictable will generate arbitrage flows.

May I ask what format you listen too? Probably digital audio. Now what kid would listen to the same format as his dad? How uncool would that be...
