Yeah, this is a decades old ongoing issue with companies. They see pretty much anything IT related as a money sink that needs to be trimmed to the bare bones while giving salespeople absurd bonuses. Then they get all surprised pikachu faced when they get hacked or hit with ransomware and their last backup was 6 months ago when they let the IT department go without warning and hired some guys from overseas to handle it remotely.

All month? This is the 342nd day of Halloween. All days lead to Halloween.

Waiting for the inevitable man to come in and go “But how are we supposed to unify if we keep dividing ourselves?” or “You’d have a fit if men complained about women attending a male only event.”

There’s a convergence of issues. First, and probably foremost, users are idiots. So it has to be able to be operated by a 5 year with a learning disability. Second, implementing security costs money up front. It is cheaper to let the customer deal with the fall out, then do damage control on the cheap, and keep going. Third, users can’t be assed to access things that a 5 year old with learning and physical disabilities and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in one hand can’t access. These are all typical issues stuff is engineered towards. This is why you see this same basic issue crop up over and over again.

I’m sure they investigated themselves and found no trace of wrong doing.

Like Qatar gives a good god damn about human rights.

That isn’t weird. This should be default behavior for everyone. If it was fewer people would get caught by scams. I also look at the sender’s email. All the ones I’ve ever received have come from domains not affiliated with the company they purport to represent. I’ve taught all my non-security savvy friends to do this, too.

Consider, if you will, a modest to large group chat. Say a few people start chatting. dindingdingdingding People float into and out of the chat keeping it going for hours and notification after notification after notification comes in. Maybe they’re in a group chat for several classes and/or interests and/or family. I can easily see it. I have to mute the group family chat I’m in when they really start to get going, especially my wife and sister-in-law.

Precisely. It’s a mashup of what it has been trained on. Train it on celebrities in bikinis and pornstars getting railed in bikinis, smash the two together and et voila, suddenly every actress has a porn tape of getting railed in a bikini.

I do.

We have had watertight user serviceable with external batteries handheld amateur radios for decades. Your arguments are baloney. Phones are only this way because manufacturers want them to be this way.

In 1929, each representative represented about 283k Americans. Now each representative represent about 762k Americans. That’s almost a 300% increase. This means each American’s voice is only about 1/3rd as powerful as it was in 1929. To have as much political power as they did in 1929, we’d need about 1200 Representatives.

It’s almost like their workers should form some sort of association so that they could collectively work to negotiate with Amazon on a more equal footing. Too bad that never happened ever in the history of the human workforce. Sure would be nice, though. Oh, wait…

Right? Nothing about him seemed really that insane or unhinged. Even killing Gamora, his adopted daughter that he appeared to care for, can be explained as him doing whatever it takes, not being insane. Even what he did to Nebula came off, to me, as just him being extreme in his desire for her obedience and perfect, like any other obsessed and controlling parent.

Honestly, he came off more as the “annoyed Titan” than anything else.

I get what you’re saying, but what is the return on those, though? Does it compare to the returns selling a phone? I mean, it could be better returns selling parts, but companies as big as Apple tend to get moribund in their view of the revenue stream. The current model works, so why mess with it?

If you can, place it on a relatively flat surface and move it in a circle for a minute or two. Not sure of how it works, but I’ve opened cans with nary a hiss using this method. I’ve even managed to do it with the can just on my thigh and trying to keep it as perpendicular as possible.

Right? Or maybe watching the first part of a show until the first commercial to determine if I want to take the time to find it elsewhere.

Nah, I think global sites should just block access from the UK. Let’s see how the politicians like it when facebook, etc, stop working.

Not if they’re funded by deep pockets like with governments and corporations.
