Summary The South African Revenue Service has released their own browser with Adobe Flash support just so that people can file their taxes. Quotes My thoughts Why. Just why. The warning has been out for three and a half years. That's plenty of time to upgrade your forms! I guess this shows how far some people are willing to go not to change systems that already work.

Summary Donald Trump's Twitter account has been locked following the protests/riots in Washington DC this evening. Quotes The official statement from Twitter (emphasis mine): Trump's original, removed tweet: My thoughts Despite posting and asking people to go home, it seems to me that his Twitter account was locked not because of the protests, but because he was saying (albeit, in very aggressive terms) that the election was stolen. Hopefully, this will cause people to realize that platforms like Facebook and Twitter may be getting too powerful if they can stop even the President of the United States from talking, especially during such a critical time. Hopefully, this causes more people sign up for more platforms like Mastodon where censorship is much harder, if not impossible. To be honest, though, I think it was only a matter of time. Given how Twitter has been locking down and labeling tweets recently, especially Trump's tweets, this was inevitable.

I can't find anywhere, but that would limit it by cpu, not by temperature, right?

Are there any reputable places to purchase an unlock code? It seems that doing this would require me to give them my IMEI number, but most websites say not to give away my IMEI number, as then anyone could impersonate my phone.

No - I own the phone, and the phone was fully paid off my the previous owner, but they didn't use the phone for 6 months before switching to Apple. So, they owned the phone, but I bought it from them, and I now own the phone. The only problem is that the phone wasn't on a cellular plan for 6 months, so I can't unlock it.

Hello! I have a ASUS ROG labtop whose CPU regularly hits 85-100 degrees Celsius when I'm running it. Is there a way to limit the CPU temperature and make it cool down after a certain temperature? Most guides online limit the computer by its CPU usage, but that isn't the way I'd prefer to go about this. It came with Armoury Crate installed, if that makes a difference.

The issue isn't the hardware; it's that the person I bought the phone for didn't pay for the full 6 months needed to unlock the phone before switching to a new phone, and I don't want to buy a cricket account for just a couple of months.

Hello! I bought a Motorola Moto G7 Supra used, and it is carrier-locked to Cricket. Is there any way to carrier-unlock the phone without Cricket's cooperation? My current plan is to wipe the phone and replace Android with LineageOS, Ubuntu Touch, or /e/. Would doing any of these allow me to use the phone on a different network?
