Because they want their users to be violently assaulted by complete strangers.

"government is buying the data to process directly" and to feed to Peter Thiel, wannabe Nazi, and Palantir. He already has the Maggot moles inside the government with Elmo's minions crawling around your SS and other data.

And guess who is profiting off the shitcoin craze? el Bunko and his family and his dept. "secretaries".

And just another little tidbit, the IRS is no longer going to police tax scams used by the rich to keep their due to Uncle Sam. Think of it as el Bunko's payback for all his rich supporters. Now the Fed. Gov. can lose even more money in addition to the new Big Stupid Bill that rewards the same rich with more tax money.

The right probe is into breaking up TicketMaster, which is a monopoly. e.g. by breaking its ties to venues and tours, requiring sales exceeding a certain threshold (venue, seats, days etc.) to use an open ticket sale model or whatever. The issue of touts is orthogonal to that glaring issue.

The 1st year graduate cares, you'll figure it out when your job is terminated

Could you hook the hardware up to a Linux system and then get that data to your applications some other way? Looks like Linux still has firewire support, and you can connect to pipewire with ffado.

That's typically disingenuous. Yawn, yawn, yawn.

There's no sobbing in vibe coding.

Just bullshit on top of more bullshit.

This is yet one more step that la Presidenta and his minders, Project 2025, are taking to promote their deep state. Mmmmmm, yummy.....more information on Americans and anyone else's records they can get their hands on.

What was functionally worse about the XP fisher-price skin? It didn't change any behavior, only appearance.

One reason for quarterly reporting is that it gives greater transparency and insight into how a business actually works. Many businesses are seasonal. Most obviously, virtually all retail has its best quarter at the end of the calendar year. But many other types of businesses have key cycles each year that are tied to, for example, the buying habits of their largest customers. Suppliers matter, too; if farms have a bad quarter due to weather or other factors, for example, you're going to want to watch how that impacts food producers somewhere down the line.

"... they announced the addition of this feature in 2009..."
Yeah, a year later.

Other "highly requested" features added after the iPhone was introduced? MMS LOL

Steve Jobs instructed internal development to not support text messaging, since everyone uses email. Fortunately, he was saved from that particular humiliation. It's really a miracle that Apple succeeded at anything considering Jobs's incompetence and sociopathy.

And don't forget about 3rd party apps, which Apple explained couldn't be allowed on a phone because of security issues that could expose the cellular network. That took two years, though. Funny how everyone else could allow 3rd party apps...because cellular functions are firewalled in hardware and those risks do not exist.

Fortunately, Apple provided "web apps" that looked like native apps, allegedly, and we all know how good Apple's web browser was at the time since they would not support Flash.

Yes, airships make sense here, while airplanes do not.

All it takes is just one soft spot on an improvised runway to demolish a larger-and-therefore-more-expensive-than-ever-before cargo airplane either on takeoff or landing.
