Yes, an IoT device would certainly be a huge headache if it was on a proprietary protocol, I’d avoid that if at all possible. Thankfully, they haven’t made something absolutely indispensable yet.

Where I live, cashless payments via NFC. But I have the option of using a plastic card too.
It’s really just banking, I can still use the browser for most other things.

I do everything important like banking etc on a separate device that isn’t my gaming PC. This has been quite liberating since I worry less about invasive anti-cheat, drm etc. I realize not everyone wants to do this but it’s been a nice compromise.
Are there Riot games on Steam?
The point of anti-cheat is to create a substantial barrier for cheating. If you have to go the extra mile to run an external hardware cheat so as to be “undetected” then surely this means the anti-cheat is working. If it were as ineffective as you imply, cheaters would be cheating on their main accounts.

Hopefully Servo gets a good UI soon.
I’ve found it remarkably difficult to replace a battery in a modern smartphone, even as someone who’s quite handy with electronics. Any improvement is greatly welcome, and I wish we’d do more to make it easier.
It’s about usage patterns. If you know you only need 60% of the battery, charging it to 100% will degrade it more, for little utility. The newer Google phones get 7 years of updates, but without due care the battery will reach 80% of its capacity before that. On an aside, a battery is considered to have reached its end of life at a capacity reduction of 20%, and not 40%.
If you 100-0 the battery every day, then there’s not much you can do. But if you’re a lighter user, then using the 20-80% (or 40-60) part instead of the 40-100% part of the battery makes it last longer. And that’s good in terms of environmental sustainability, reduction of e-waste, and you can use the phone for longer, too.
Pragmatically speaking, for battery health you should charge only as much as you need the battery, so it sounds to me that in your case that’s 90%. Also, here’s a paper about battery charging:

Do you mean to say that this achievement had something to do with AI?

Looks like pure mathematics to me.
I’m sure the Russians are savvy and use VPNs like China. It’s much less simple than just geofencing.
Never underestimate the power of C++!
Flying might be undefined behaviour but we don’t have to think about that!

The same Sony that put some software on CDs that would install itself, could not be removed, and was invisible to the end-user? Oh yeah, very secure.
