Despite all the (deserved) jibes, props to them for the action taken:
>> Lenovo said that customers with affected devices should stop using them immediately and request a free replacement power bank from the company. <<

Pretty far!
Vivaldi is well worth a look.
Here is a link to some of their marketing stuff: https://vivaldi.com/blog/3-reasons-your-browser-choice-is-important/
However, they do seem to be serious about it.

I love the Linux desktop, but that doesn't mean I don't see its problems all too well

>> But that's not what Linux desktop fans want. They want Windows crushed and bleeding underneath the Linux juggernaut. <<
Are you sure?
I couldn't care less whether anyone else uses Linux on the desktop. And I relish the ability to be able to tailor my desktop to my specific requirements.
My take is that computers should do what I want them to do, not that I should do what the computer wants me to do.
Linux gives me that - Windows and MacOS definitely don't.

Re: TightVNC development is active AFAIK
From the TightVNC download page:
[quote]Licensing Terms
There are two licensing options available for TightVNC software:
GNU General Public License version 2 (often abbreviated as GNU GPL). This is the default licensing option. It's completely free but it does not allow integration with closed-source products. Read the complete text of the license here (opens in a new window).
Commercial source code license. Unlike GPL, it allows integrating the software into proprietary products, although it's not free.[/quote]
So it seems you can use the latest 2.X version under GPL, only integrating with closed source software requires the commercial licence.

Re: The real question is: did he want to get arrested?
According to Ars Technica's report of the same story:
“When the explosion happened, he got treatment for minor burns, then disclosed what happened to his mentor, a clergyman,” Madison police officer David Dexheimer told the Wisconsin State Journal. The clergyman told him to visit the police.
