Software updates can be deployed regionally either based on carrier or by product SKU. If there are different SKUs for North American vs EU phones, which is almost universally the case because of differing regional requirements such as radio technology, target price points and so on. That means that phone model ‘X (NA)’ could have a different update schedule than ‘X (EU)’.

Why? money, of course. There is a small cost to supporting a SKU for updates, even if it’s the same software that’s already being deployed to another SKU. That increases if the two SKUs have different processors (Samsung does this). On top of that, longer update schedules means people aren’t replacing their phones as often, which means theoretically less sales - though I find that claim dubious as many people replace their phones long before they lose software support.

So yes, while it’s possible that a company might honour a 7 year update schedule outside of EU, it would be by their choice to do so.

… I don’t think there’s any combination of those that are good. Best option still has you shitting blue.

From someone who does this for a living… vary your names and addresses. Less chance of collisions if your suite teardown fails to clean up properly. Depending on your needs, having a hard-coded unique name/address per test can be fine, or if you’re using Python, there’s a library called Faker that will generate ISO-valid test data. It’s also a bit easier to see where a teardown failed if maybe an exception got swallowed.

Both, really. Shitty social support in that he likely had an F-tier education, leading to being obsessed with power.

My high school in the latter half of the 90’s tried zero tolerance… briefly. Fighting got worse under the policy, cuz us kids figured if we’re gonna catch a suspension, might as well earn it.

I’ve settled on soaps that don’t aggravate my psoriasis and have an agreeable scent. They do happen to be “men” soaps, but absent another option or if I’m not at home, then I was with what’s available.

The only exception is my beard wash/oil/balm. I bring that shit with me.

We have that in Ontario, and as a kid my cub/scout troop would go around town and ask people to give us their empties as a fundraiser. We’d return them and use the money to buy camping supplies and stuff.

This can be generalized to say that programming has become such a diverse profession that you will find experts in one area that know very little about others. There’s simply too many things that are programmed in too many ways for anyone to know it all anymore. Hell, that was the case in the 70’s and 80’s too.

I’ve been using it to write unit tests, I still need to edit them to mock out some things and change a bit of logic here and there, but it saves me probably 50-75% of the time it used to take, just from not having to hand-write all that code.

It’s that old time rock and roll

Only when it benefits them, however.

Violent rebellion rarely results in a government that those rebelling wished for, unless those rebelling wish for authoritarian government. Egalitarian governance is often born from long-term persistence to addressing the needs of the population and a general rejection of policies from the wealthy.

That being said, a population under an authoritarian regime often need to use violence to (attempt to) trigger the shift into a more egalitarian government. In France’s case it worked (for a while), but took several attempts to get there.

Creating lasting policy which truly works for the population requires that the population is healthy, fed, housed, and educated - if any of these are missed, then there is a significant risk of a right-wing shift.

True, but it’s not usually as coded as this or if it is, it’s a symbol that is common to all - more corporate logo than DaVinci code.

Fully agree, however, the press has done that before and he just shuts down the question with some remark about the reporter and if they press, he walks out. Aside from physical restraint, I don’t think we will see him submit to any real questioning.
