Pass a law requiring every C-level executive, congressperson, and senator to conduct all personal and business travel over an 1 or 2 hour car drive on carriers who use their product.

I suggested personal travel as they would surely find a way to book business travel using personal time ( think âoeCancun Cruzâ ).

If they give a shit about their own or their family's safety, quality will improve.

This belongs entirely on the legal department at VULTR. Somebody authorized the release of the original TOS? Who gave that authorization?

  Do they actually employ licensed lawyers reviewing legal documents or is this the result of someone believing reading. "Dummy's Guide to Contract Law" is good enough?

Well, the AirPods weren't in the house. But, they were outside the house on the street. Clearly, the phone picked up the signal as being nearby.

The error was assuming they were in the house based on a crude proximity detection. The "friend" who said they were in the stolen car clearly dropped them before getting into the car that was carjacked.

But, yeah, the cops f'd up by not checking the location as the got near the house. FindMy would have pointed them to the device before they barged in and terrorized the family. Somebody is going to pay this family big.

Oh, let the Mac haters hate and have their fun.

I wonder how many read the article and made it to the last paragraph.

What this article doesn't do is state whether this attack requires physical access or can be performed simply by running a program from remote. It sounds like it.

They did indicate that it can take upwards of an hour to extract a key against the specific encryption program running on the machine.

Imagine that...your logged in laptop, running crypto software, in the hands of spies for an hour. That happens all the time, right?

Given these factors, I'm sure Apple just rolled their eyes and said thank you.

Still, being able to examine memory for what appears to be pointers annd specific time intervals and then fetching the contents at that memory location is an interesting technique.

Like you seem to indicate, without reading the full paper vs a magazine article summary, I'll just say..."That's nice" and go back to drinking my coffee and reading the newspaper.

As a former naval officer, you are right. The military trains its people - something seldom seen in the corporate world.

One of a Navy Chief or Master Chief's roles is to mold junior officers - Ensigns. A senior officer will listen to a chief's input and choose it over an ensign's. The ensign listens and learns.

But, by the time that ensign has been promoted twice and makes Lieutenant (O-3) the tables are turned.

Chiefs will not, generally, argue with a lieutenant. Why? They don't know how long an officer has been in the service, 4 years or 10. A lieutenant earns their respect just by the bars on their collar - they feel the LT is where they are because they are competent. Same goes for a Captain in the other forces.

At least, that was my experience.

We used OS/2 1.6 and it was light years ahead of anything MS released. But, most people remember IBM's OS/2 warp and not Microsoft's.

I had nothing but problems and issues with compatibility on my Pentium machine. Various Windows and early Linux soon found themselves on my machines....until I got a modern OSX system and never looked back.

But, what IF Microsoft released their OS/2 vs the 3.x and 9x peace's of crap we were forced to accept? What then?

1.6 offered true multitasking - we used at my place of employment to run scientific equipment and it was rock stable. i can only imagine an evolved 32-bit MS version ... with a real GUI. Honestly, I don't think I would have migrated to OSX despite owning the original Mac and writing software for it while in college.

Sigh...what could have.been.

They offered in-app subscriptions to new phases of the operation and new skills.

Yes, it explains why liberals tend to promote a clean environment and use of EVs/Hybrids - IQ protection. They saw what was happening to their conservative neighbors and don't want any part of that dumbing down, lead poisoning stuff.

Docusign uses a digital signature that is non-reputable and accepted by the courts as a valid signature and trustworthy.

An emoji can be added to a document after the fact and is not trustworthy.

That being said, a signature does not need to be written out fully. Sometimes just a "mark" (ie an X) is sufficient if the person is illiterate.

In this case, it apoears that the emoji was used in such a context as to imply acceptance of what was said in the email. Let's see how this plays out.

Always someone with no sense of humor...Buzzkill

The point is they both found a way to keep their sensitive reports - whether one is more guilty than the other is irrelevant - one DID find a way to spin his actions and rile his supporters. So, he benefited from his actions ... the other just gets called old.

Well, he could have said he found the material in boxes in an unused bathroom or shuffled it into a garage and then she can claim she forgot all about it. That seems to work for some people.

Is that Spotify and others agreed to the terms to develop and publish apps for the iPhone.

These terms WERE, initially, laid out clearly. Now, if the terms changed, developers should have been permitted to continue using the old or accept the new terms or old. If using the old, the vendor assumes liability when their product goes against a countries laws...not Apple. That's where Apple F'd up as they changed rules as THEY saw fit.

Now, they are up against of law makers who clearly have a bug up their ass about Apple (perhaps, rightly so).

Still, there are other platforms that Spotify and others can sell their wares. Isn't that what competition and choice is about? These lawmakers are telling Apple what music st be in their stores. Is that right?

Ah...the dumbing down of America.

Let's penalize all students and limit their chances at advanced math and science in high school and college. Brilliant plan. Not.

Glad they figured out this was a bad idea.

The fact that such a common sense thing has to spelled out and made illegal is depressing.

Here in Vitginia, I see niteits wearing AirPods or even full headphones while driving. Now, with so many EVs on the road, these same nitwits will be wearing the Apple Vision Pros while behind the driver's wheel.

And, like the use of marijuana and other distractions while driving, cops won't or can't pull them over.

As someone else stated, pull them over AND make the fine in 10x or more the price of the headset, require it paid before release from jail, AND 5 points on their license reported to the insurance company (if they actually have car insurance, else lock them up).

That might get the message across.

Ain't ever gonna happen. The same 2nd amendment nutters will find a reason to go nuts on cracking down on the woke lest someone might come after their guns.

So, we will all be placed in danger. Ducky.

Each human produces enough energy as a 65 Watt lightbulb. What could go wrong powering our AI overlords.
