If the charges lead to convictions

I think you mean if the warrants are issued. There is a warrant for Putin, and that made him cancel a trip to South Africa. I agree with the rest of what you said. I hate how often people let, "Perfect be the enemy of Good." It would definitely be better if the ICC had more members, but even in states that aren't signatories, the court can have an influence on their leaders.

My spouse and I are currently watching Star Trek: TNG, so I thought of Data saying, "Sir, there appears to be an unauthorized tracking device following our movements."

YotoPhone. They also made a version 2 & 3. Unfortunately, Yota went bankrupt.

I suspect from that wording, "unofficial versions" will probably be licenced code.

WINE doesn’t “translate” one CPU architecture to another CPU architecture

Wrong again.

This article seems to conflate "emulation" and "translation layer". I don't think there is anything that confirms "Prism emulates an x86 CPU", only that it allows for running x86 code on ARM. This does not inherently require emulation as demonstrated by Rosetta 2, which is a translation layer.

Emulation is almost always slower and eats more battery.

FTFY. There have been some cases where emulation actually outperforms native execution, though these might be, "the exceptions that prove the rule." For example, in the early days of World of Warcraft, it actually ran better on WINE on Linux than natively on Windows.

Same reason the headlines aren't listing Hamas leader: the international public doesn't know who they are. Netanyahu, on the other hand, has been on the international stage since the '90s.

This is from 2016 so it's not news.

I'm probably being pedantic, but they were charged, they just weren't convicted.

don’t think their unvaccinated status should play into whether charges are laid.

That’s negligent homicide.

If that was so, not vaccinating an offspring would be child neglect, right? However, that's not how our laws work.
