Wait, it knows? Is Windows defender developing self-awareness before LLMs?

Edit: typo

More flexibility on flight stopovers in China. If you are going somewhere else, China would probably like for you to spend some of your money in a Chinese city. I'm guessing 10 days is the duration because flights occasionally get canceled or delayed. A lot more people would need to apply to extend their visas on stopovers if it was only like 3 days.

Edit: spelling

I considered it, but the specs were too low. Ended up choosing a Google Pixel instead.

Not to cause any "offence", but I think that "manoeuvre" would cause misspellings for you if you need to write something in American English, say a paper or a formal document. Best double check your spell checker locale, and make sure your words aren't incorrectly "labelled" as you "centre" your text.

Having the default spell check as en_ca would be a problem through. I'd have an "axe" to grind in this case, as I challenge the "honour" of hunspell. I usually just manually choose metric units and a 24 hour clock on top of en_US.

Chinese phonology doesn't allow for the pronunciation of "app", for example. I see a lot of Chinese people spelling it as "APP", and pronouncing it accordingly. It's kinda funny to me, since the Mandarin word "yingyong" is only two syllables. "APP" just seems more cumbersome by all account, yet it has become inexplicably popular.

That's very good. Once I wanted to compile Firefox myself for some reason I no longer remember, but their Mercurial-based system was a hassle to work with. Most of us are already familiar with git. So, I know I'm going to be more inclined to make code contributions now that it uses git.

Just wish they could've chosen another git-based option like Codeberg, or even an internally-hosted server. I'm rather wary of GitHub/Microsoft swallowing up so many open source projects.
