Many obviously don't know that "nazi" is an abbreviation.

2^0 isn't multiplying by zero. Considering this law: 2^a / 2^b = 2^(a-b)
it's obvious why 2^0 = 1
If a=b you're dividing by the same number resulting in 1.

Unfortunately, I cannot explain/prove the first law though.

Yes. Keep it simple and stupid.

Didn't really think so, just wanted to apply Cunningham's Law. ;)
Thanks a lot for the links.

Unfortunately, that's the actual reason in my experience. I got most friends and family to run Signal next to WhatsApp though.

skilled enough to switch away from Whatsapp

Wat? If they managed to register with WhatsApp, they can do so with literally any other messaging service.

Nobody outside the US uses SMS anymore.

iMessage works

Among the 20% of all phones globally, it does. Outside the US it's hardly usable.

I can't shake the feeling this is China testing the waters for cyber warfare...

In this way, your account will be identified by this name and your phone number will not be visible to other users

That's not the problem, Meta. I don't want to give my phone number to you.

I hope you keep your win 7 isolated from the internet since it has been out of maintenence for quite a while now.

You always have to consider that probably at least 80% of the Windows code base is the same across versions. So when a current release gets a patch for a new security flaw that's a hint to the malware devs the old release is likely vulnerable too. As soon as a version gets out of maintenance its likelihood for infection rises steeply.

Windows telemetry started with Windows 10. Windows 7 was the most stable Windows ever and hardware configurations were just as plentiful. Sure, the data helps but it's hardly mandatory.
