I've seen the answer, but I still prefer my first thought - prickly pears (quickly discounted, I hasten to add)

... remember to keep the licensing registrations up to date!
Quote: Being the Sinaloa cartel’s tech guru was not an easy job. Prosecutors played the jury excerpts of a taped phone call where Cristián complains about being scolded for the encrypted network being down.
Quote: The irony was that authorities were only able to obtain the call because the men were forced to use conventional cellphones while their secure network was down. Cifuentes called Cristián "an irresponsible person," and said the engineer screwed up by forgetting to renew the license on the software they had purchased.
Quote: While the cartel was experiencing technical difficulties, law enforcement was watching — and listening.

So, as always, bad-guys were caught because they screwed up.
i.e. normal police work got the job done.
As always.
All the infringements of civil liberties, imposed over the last few years, did not do a damned thing for the case.
As always.

That's a knock on the police. I'm sure they have more value than that.

My brother was on the force for years, and he told me that the only honest way to look at is was that they mostly caught criminals when the criminals screwed up.
That sounds like an honest thing for a copper to say -- after all, criminals who are smart enough to think of everything and never make mistakes get away with it.
So his life as a copper wasn't one of being all clever, like Holmes or any other fictional character*; it was all about legwork, and going through details looking for mistakes the criminals made.
* And it abso-f**king-lutely wasn't about using espionage-level spying cr@p on everyone, or abusing every man, woman, and child as if they were terrorists.

So, keep your license upto date. Lesson learned.

Ya know, when I saw that article a week or two ago, I wondered how long it would take someone here to bring it up.

I don't know, in many languages "ch" is pronounced "k". Conference talks about Fuchsia should be fun.

Current Story:
Where I am working now we are using GIT, like many company before.
But, and this is a first for me, everyone is working on their own branch and, every now and then people make a pull request to develop to be approved by the lead developer.
Of course one should make sure the pull request has no conflict. But since 2 weeks of work from an other developer can drop anytime... despite me merging my branch from develop every morning I am having lots of painful merge conflicts... every few days....
What I wonder:
is it common practice to have every developer working on its own branch instead of the whole team working on a common branch?

In my experience, that's extremely uncommon.
I see it as being wasteful, both in the effort required to maintain it and system resources.
Working copies isolate your scratch work from the core code; branches are for when a new or different version is needed.

That is what we do here in a team of 5, most of the time. Everything goes into it's own feature branch, which is merged back into the develop branch later. And yes, we do get merge conflicts.
