It may get to the point people run old Windows full screen in a VM on current Windows :)

So what that he encouraged or developed something, he is not the person who had actual access to this information, he never worked for any agency in USA where he would have to promise not to disclose information, to him (or anyone who doesn't work for such agencies) status of any 'secret' information is completely irrelevant, as it should be.

For example, if I egged on some general to disclose top secret information about some project and then he did disclose it, it would be on the general, not on me or anyone who encouraged him. HE IS THE ONE WHO PROMISED NOT TO DISCLOSE IT NO MATTER WHAT, not me, not anyone else.

I am not a 'right wing', I am not a 'left wing', I am a libertarian, anarcho capitalist, it puts me completely outside of what is considered to be normal politics in the USA by the way and I say that Assange has done nothing wrong at all and he is being terrorized because he embarrassed people who have power.

*this* is what "proves" it? Not the kidnappings, the torture, the murders? )

Yeah, you don't understand what will actually happen. What will actually happen is just more terrorism by the government that is already terrorist in nature. Kadyrov is a murderer, torturer, terrorist, his fame to claim was that he murdered his first russian at the age of 16. Today he routinely murders anyone who opposes his rule in any way, real or imaginary. His son kidnaps and beats a kid who posts something online that Kadyrov finds offensive. People routinely disappear, never to be seen again. People get tortured for anything that Kadyrov doesn't like.

At the same time Chechnia's economy only exists because putin provides Chechnia with billions of dollars every year from the russian budget.

You don't understand what is actually happening there. They don't care about law or whatever, if they hear something they don't like, you'll disappear and be raped and tortured and killed and that's about it. This entire thing about the music is really nothing at all, it just means that if someone *hears* music that is not Chechen they will report you and you will be gone.

There is a critical mass of Teslas that aren't smart enough to be driving either. See "The final 11 seconds of a fatal Tesla Autopilot crash":
https://www.washingtonpost.com...

Most drivers only drive poorly in certain sections of the drive. The question is whether what Tesla is doing helps or hinders poor driving.

Based on what evidence? Faith in Musk?

Over one billion miles driven using FSD.

Looking that that graph is should be obvious where it is going, and how soon.

The last I heard about the taxi idea, they mentioned they were considering letting people send out their cars as taxis when not in use, and thus owning a Tesla could actually make you money.

That does depend on true self driving to work but it seems like they are pretty close now.

You are correct. What Canada needs is a 3d printed AI government, which would be a vast improvement over Trudeau.

A fact which renders these trackers completely useless as anti-theft devices

Not really, even if a thief is alerted something is being tracked if they can't find the tracker they will throw out the object they stole... which you can then recover. and also potentially get video evidence from around where it was dumped to ID the thief if they still have something from your backpack...

I have a hidden compartment in my backpack where I often put cash so I very much would be happy to recover even just the empty backpack without contents.

Or if you had an AirTag hidden in a car they might just ditch the car rather than take it to a chop shop, and you can at least find where it was ditched.

Also did you forget "unintentional theft" exists, where for example an airline rather than flying your bags to your destination, takes them elsewhere... and when that happens sometimes they have no clue where the bags are. If you have a tracker, you can tell them what city and facility your bags are in, and even play a sound to help locate them.

AirTags (and the new Android form) are incredibly useful even with tracking detection abilities, you are really missing out on this super cheap insurance and recovery aid.

Got it, thanks - good to know!

I guess since it considers it an "unknown tracker" it would only warn you about it, not feed back to Apple information about that AirTag location.

Didn't see this mentioned in the summary, when support for this launches does this mean Android will also warn you if an AirTag is tracking you? Which would mean it helps with the recognition network being larger for both tracking devices.

Or has Android already supported detecting AirTags tracking?

There is a famous investment quote that goes "the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent".

If you join in the pack shorting something like this, you open yourself up to the possibility some kind of irrational buying flood comes in and wipes you out.

Remember that these days very few stocks are actually priced according to value, so it doesn't seem like a Trump based stock would be any exception.
