The EV tax credit can be claimed without itemizing on your taxes, so oneâ(TM)s other deductions are immaterial. Only thing that matters Is the credit canâ(TM)t exceed the total tax you would otherwise own. At any rate, the credit goes to the legal purchaser of the car. In the case of a lease, which is how most of them go out the door, that will be the leasing company, which is usually the manufacturerâ(TM)s captive finance arm.

We would need someone who had the app installed on iOS last week. without having given it camera permissions, to report their experience.

Audio/video calls are handled via the FB Messenger app. The FB app does want access so you can post pics and videos straight from the app.

I remember seeing the offset screen thing a couple of times, about a week ago. Didnâ(TM)t pick up on the camera angle. But not for the past three days. Interestingly, the FB app was updated 3 days ago.

Their *stated* goal is to scrape user info that hasnâ(TM)t been hidden behind privacy controls to limit access. To use Facebook as the example, whatever of your profile is âoepublicâ (as opposed to viewable by âoefriendsâ or âoefriends of friendsâ or even specific groups of friends youâ(TM)ve defined, which you have control over through your privacy settings. I would surmise that the FBI intends to exploit the fact that many users are lax on their privacy settings.

All those cheapo phones you get in blister packs in Supermarkets are SIM locked because the purchase price is in fact subsidized. A $60 Tracfone, and a $60 unlocked phone are not the same beast...

Per capita incomes in India, sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia are an order of magnitude lower than they are in the US. It seems trivial to us, but $60 vs. $100 makes a massive difference in terms of affordability.

Yes. Disney (via its various retail partners: Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, etc.) sold little plastic boxes that included, inside the box, plastic coasters AND pieces of paper. Two separate items in one package. No wording on the package to imply the two are connected together, whatsoever. Disney can INTEND that to have been selling a "package deal" where the two were inseparable, but they never actually STATED that intent on the package. So they can pound sand. Same thing applies when they sell a "Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack". I'm buying two copies of the movie, in different formats. Three if there's also a download code. Even if Disney had included such language, first sale doctrine would have applied. Disney failed to enforce more restrictive terms as part of the sales contract, and they no longer own, or has any control over the physical object, once they've sold it.

What are you smoking?! Whatever biological activity may still be ongoing at the time, organ harvest cannot legally proceed until the donor has been declared dead.

You're undoubtedly referring to the single PCB trace, from the FM antenna pin of the Qualcomm modem to the Lightning jack. And some software, which has no incremental cost beyond the initial development.

Someone finally points out the gating issue! 90% of the cell phone towers in Puerto Rico are inoperative. There's precious little ability to make phone calls or text, let alone download the OTA update that would be needed to activate the latent FM capability. Meanwhile, Puerto Rico has 125 terrestrial radio stations. Even if 90% of them are inoperative, the 10% that are left cover the entire island.

In an emergency where large amounts of telecommunications infrastructure (i.e, Internet service, cell phone towers) is inoperable, a single FM station covers orders of magnitude greater land area than any cell tower or Internet point of presence, requires zero infrastructure between the transmitter and receiver, has infinite capacity for receivers, and the receivers are simple, low-cost and low-power. FM stations provide incredible resiliency and capacity for mass dissemination of information compared to any alternative method.

The OP is clearly ignorant of how the secure enclave works, or really any of the concept of operations of the Touch ID and/or Face ID sensors. Touch ID and Face ID both require the setting of a minimum 6 digit passcode for the device, as a backstop for the biometric sensor. The passcode is required for unlock after a device is rebooted, if the device ever goes more than 48 hours without being unlocked, and after 5 consecutive unsuccessful unlock attempts using the biometric sensor. FFS Craig Federighi (unintentionally) demoed this functionality during the damned keynote! Once the phone starts making you use the passcode, it only accepts passcode input from the touchscreen, and after 5 consecutive incorrect passcode inputs starts to impose increasingly long cool downs before the 6th and subsequent attempts.

Though I don't recall it being specifically addressed in the keynote, I can only imagine the Face ID sensor and secure enclave authenticate to each other in a manner similar to the way the Touch ID sensor does, as a countermeasure against the sensor being replaced with a alternative device with malicious functionality.

The iPhone 7/8 Touch ID sensor innately provides proximity/pressure sensitivity without need of moving parts. The sole value add function of the physical button is to provide tactile feedback to the user. By replacing the tactile feedback with haptic feedback using the vibration motor, Apple was able to eliminate all the moving parts from the home button, eliminating a significant source of repair claims on the entire device.

Apple's security with regard to Touch ID sensor replacements guards against the substitution of a malicious replacement sensor that compromises the security of the Touch ID system. Imagine a hypothetical replacement sensor with a "backdoor" fingerprint pattern, or a man-in-the-middle device that recorded or cloned the bits as they were being sent from the sensor to the secure enclave for authentication, thus allowing their playback for future unlocking of the device.

We have a production license for the Russian RD-180 engine in the Atlas V, as a hedge, but the Russians sell them so cheap it would be more expensive to build our own...

Anything aviation, space and/or military-related also seeks to be as far behind the curve as possible, to maximize "proven reliability". Customers and prime contractors demand (and end up paying for) long product life-cycles from their sub's. Anything COTS (like PC's) is stock-piled at the program's inception, to ensure continued availability of identical parts/components, throughout the projected system life-cycle. Then there's a further scramble to procure (by then EOL'ed) parts, when, decades in, the customer inevitably decides they want to extend the service life, or re-start production of a mature system.
