WSL2 is what you describe, WSL1 is not.


WSL2 is what people use now though. Saying "WSL is not linux" (because wsl1 isn't) is pedantically analogous to saying "mac os is not a unix based os" (because mac os 9 and under isn't)


Of course, why would we discuss WSLv1 in 2025? If we discuss "Windows" today, it's unlikely we mean Windows 2000.


Pre-Chromium Microsoft Edge did until August 2019.

The Edge team also briefly had a standalone Windows 8/10 app called "Reader" that supported EPUB, PDF, and a couple other similar formats without the rest of the browser UI, but was just purely an embed of Edge (Spartan).


I believe most of the commercial Android phones already have a regular task that resets permissions for unused apps to serve people who gave permissions accidentally or forgotten about them after setting them deliberately.


There is something that resets permissions, but only those that were granted and only if the app hasn't been used for a while. I'd find it annoying if I intentionally selected "always" for some given permission in an app I regularly use, only to have it occasionally reset itself. I already find the battery optimization notifications for apps I want running in the background annoying enough.


I didn't find most of the affected models there, and for these which I did, pages are full of warnings like that OpenWrt support is obsolete since 2022 and/or that 4 MB of flash and 32 MB of RAM is not enough to do anything useful


As a user and fan of Siemens Mobile's phones I want to note that all phones with removable storage created by them both on Infineon and Qualcomm platforms and released under Siemens brand used MMC and RS-MMC cards. After mobile division was sold to BenQ, the switch to microSD happened together with rebranding to BenQ-Siemens.


1000? Recently they started to repeat for me after just about 15, and after few rounds of repeats it didn't get me in and I gave up.


NT kernel drivers are Portable Executables, and kernel does such checks, displaying BSOD with stop code 0xC0000221 STATUS_IMAGE_CHECKSUM_MISMATCH if something went wrong.

The premise of these realities being almost identical means that they had no cultural impact.


Technically correct, but obsolete. Windows 10 run on ARM and had that requirement that you talk about, Windows 11 runs on ARM64 without that requirement.


First, these systems generally predate invention of semiconductor light sensors.

Second, how much light you need is proportional to human activity, not only to darkness. At deep night artificial lighting should be minimal to save energy, minimise disturbance to nature and people's sleep, while during early morning when kids go to schools it should be maximal.

Third, you need a central control over street lights anyway because you need to implement blackouts during wartime.


> Third, you need a central control over street lights anyway because you need to implement blackouts during wartime.

You heard of switches? Hell in our country with mandated rolling blackouts to prevent failure of the national electrical grid some sucker gets paid to drive around town every 2-3hours and flip a switch. Unrelated one municipality is failing to follow the mandate because they cannot afford said suckers overtime pay...

I also strongly believe well lit streets at all times are important, its better to try to limit the lights' bleed than it is to have darkness. One human killed or otherwise injured (rape/assault) due to bad lighting should be enough to say this is a bad idea.
