Lots of ideas are patented, especially by large companies. Some ideas are pursued by the company themselves, while others sit in the patent war chest to (maybe) generate passive income and help with future litigation. Very occasionally they are used for prevention.

Regardless, such a system would be a reason for many people to avoid buying a particular car or brand of car.

A nanotube garrote would be the talk of the town.

My Samsung S90C OLED is pretty good. I spent a lot of time researching TVs and user reviews before I bought it though, and an LG OLED also made the shortlist.

It is possible to wrap something like python into a single file, which is extracted (using standard shell tools) into a tmpdir at runtime.

You might also consider languages that can compile to static binaries - something like nim (python like syntax), although you could also make use of nimscript. Imagine nimscript as your own extensible interpreter.

Similarly, golang has some extensible scripting languages like https://github.com/traefik/yaegi - go has the advantage of easy cross compiling if you need to support different machine architectures.

While I doubt it was planned that way, Biden holding off resulted in some funny trump hissy fits and helped show him up as the weird old man that he is.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crlr8gp813ko seems to have a good explanation. In short, it's complicated, and the IOC drew their lines.

Someone who lies is a liar. I lie unintentionally all too often, despite my best efforts not to (aside from some leg pulling.) Some people can't seem to help lying, and some others do it quite intentionally. We humans aren't very reliable or trustworthy, but we muddle on anyway, and we're not that bad, mostly.

I switched to flatpak steam because of this issue with a couple of games. Still annoyed that arch's glibc maintainer removed the eac patch.
