"Save as Folder" - As a german with the german Firefox I'm sorry for not knowing the correct english names of the functions/steps, but I answer non the less because nobody else did: right click on a tab, select "select all tabs", right klick again and select "add tabs as bookmark" (or something like that), then a window appears where you can enter the folder name and the location to save them.
Come on Microsoft, don't waste time and energy with "nuclear fusion", go one step further and let AI unriddle the secrets of "Cold Fusion", this for sure will save our world and allow to power-feed even more and bigger AI Datacenters!
On a more practical scale, consider to boost the funding of "classic" nuclear fusion research in a meaningful way. For example: The experimental plasma research stellerator project "Wendelstein 7" started somewhen around end of the 1980s and it's budget has been a meagre 1 billion in those more than 30 years! Hardly an investment in search for success.
I guess those elements of the specs will be available to other CPU manufacturers, free or licensed I don't know, but if memory serves me right and my amateurish knowledge doesn't mix things up, wasn't their trouble in the past with the (popular because real good) Intel Compiler checking for "Genuine Intel" Processor and (deliberately?) delivering very suboptimal instructions/code for all non-Intel Processors; ingnoring completly the instruction cababilities statet by the CPU (like SSE2)? Now, when: "Developer code will only need to check three fields, according to Intel: A CPUID feature bit indicating that AVX10 is supported, the AVX10 version number, and a bit indicating the maximum supported vector length.", could such things happen again?
Whatever politicans say, it's not worth a penny,
they change their minds more often than their underwear.
In this case I guess, as soon as the "Innenminister", police and secret services have been talking about the great opportunities to fight terrorism, drugsmugglers and other serious crimes (like violation of copyrights), then the rest of the "Bundesregierung" will accept this tech - of course with "Bauchschmerzen".
(I'm german, sorry for errors in my english)
Sorry, but (like all other cloud providers and facebook and many others)
Microsoft scans for CSAM *on their servers*,
Apple wants to scan *on your devices*,
plus iMessage filtering and have Siri and Search detecting "unsafe situations" and "searches for CSAM-related topics.
To me, that's a real massive intrusion of privacy and security, which can and most certainly will be abused not only in russia and china.
(sorry for errors, I'm no english native)
jake: ""Could" have been made operational. Not "was" made operational. Nor even "showed signs of an attempt" of being made operational."
Sorry, but it's just the strict german law. - "Not operational" may have been somthing minor the judge was considering. The big trouble comes from the fact that he illegally possessed "weapons of war", which is a major crime.
If you don't have all necessary licences, you can possess "weapons of war" (and other Firearms) legally only, if they are made totally and unreversely unusable, which needs to meet detailed specifications (nummber and diameter of drillholes, cuts with a grinder, welding...). And their are additional regulations to be followed. - And the laws get stricter every few years, so today you need to obey to much more regulations, you even have to report the buying and selling of such useless pieces of rusty chunk.
(I hate to live here in this overregulated bureaucratic germany, would like it more to be been born in Canada.)
