@aral @klausi As a South African, while sadly I have to admit that we still have to deal with some of the legacies of Apartheid, I can assure you that we have a fully democratic government for decades now and that we certainly don't have an Apartheid government. In fact we have one of the most robust bill of rights in the world that protects the rights of all citizens.

If banks and governments insist on checking devices for security they should define actual standards. It should be possible for any tiny project to be certified at no cost and the standards should be fairly enforced so a mainstream device without current patches is disallowed.
In 2013 Aaron Swartz committed suicide for facing 35 years in prison for mass downloading scientific articles.
13 years later, Meta is almost getting away with an infraction orders of magnitude larger.

@gabrielesvelto In the old days MS-DOS used to do a quick memory check when loading himem.sys. This used to annoy me because on systems with more than 4MB of RAM, this can take a while. So there's an option to disable it, and in the DOS manual where this setting is, they explain that they had to enable it by default because the very large amount of memory out there is flaky, and lots of issues are caused by it. It seems that not much has improved, ECC should become default these days.

@gregkh @musicmatze Nuclear winters aren't great for solar power though. Although I hear I'm in one of the best spots for it so I'm not complaining.
@Edent Ah I understand better what's happening now, but don't have a solution, sorry :)
