Oh come on. How many British drivers do a significant proportion of their annual mileage in the Republic of Ireland? I'd be amazed if even 0.1% of British drivers do more than 3% of their mileage in Ireland.

I don't think this is culture war, I think it's legitimately about protecting kids.

The comparison to Facebook and Twitter is not great because those platforms aren't for kids (but I'm all for lawsuits against them as well).

And as for 32 lawsuits being cash grabs or not enough: ok if you say so, I'm not going to worry about your kids if you're not.

Imagine if every state in the union sued a corporation.

I am not familiar with US law but should there not exist a federal bureau of investigation (or FBI for short) for such cases?

Is it another Netflix without the "originals"? I've seen videos in my regular feed that had a price tag, so I assume those are part of it.

Magnus Carlson did the same bullying thing to Hans Niemann. Hans had thoughts about ending it too. Guys - when chess is your whole life and then someone falsely accuses you of cheating, your whole world comes crashing down. What is worse is the online peanut gallery that is just hating on life and rage baiting. But these pro streamers and professional players - it hurts them deeply. That's why Magnus Carlson (former world chess champion in the classical format) had to pay a settlement out of court, as he did Hans so bad. I really feel for Danya (Daniel Naroditsky), his family, and his chess community. This is a very said day for chess.

The "other reason" presumably being he finally gave in to the pressure that the family put on him to become a chess master and killed himself, so the happy family is trying to be forgotten?

Or did he just fall on the wet bathroom floor that Mom didn't wipe dry?

If they have space for a USB C then they have space for a SIM. That said I like e-SIMs for their convenience and don't really care if they disappear. But the iPhone Air itself is clearly a gimped device which will be difficult to repair and so fragile that people will put it in a case negating any reason for it to be thin in the first place. I'm sure some fools will drop cash for this thing, common sense be damned.

It's called "retreating upmarket." ARM made a chip that was better in one key way: power efficiency. But they were behind in other ways so Intel shrugged them off and figured they still had the market. Then ARM got a little better. And a little better. And each time, Intel shrugged because they still had the top of the market. In fact, letting go of the lower end actually improved their profit per unit. It keeps going that way. ARM gets a little better, Intel retreats while making more profit per unit. Until one day, there's no market left.

They only said "Jews will not replace us", the national guard is just fine.

States rights are highly dependent on context, as is empathy.

Sounds like "It is not my fault, it is theirs! They ruined it!"

Poor Musk hurt by business as usual.

Tough world Elon. Sue God next time.

When the power goes out, I can start a gas generator and use my local library. Not so much if it is in the cloud.

In Europe the company would have had to delete this info after the verification check.

Another option is cutting back on $20-30 billion in share buybacks every year. Even cutting 15,000 employees saves just a small portion of the cost of the share buybacks. And the share buybacks constitute less than 1% of the total market capitalization, so they don't really have much of an effect on the share price. What's more baffling is that if the buyback money were instead spent on increased dividends, the current dividends could be doubled, and that potentially would increase the share price more than the buybacks.

The real problem is that the executives don't have common sense. Investing gobs of money in a future technology like AI. That's a risky bet, but at least one that is understandable. Buybacks are just throwing someone else's money at something that is known to not make a difference. Executives do the buybacks because it's not their money. Getting rid of employees does decrease operating expenses and increase efficiency, but that assumes that the executives know who to cut, which, of course, is unlikely given that the same executives hired these people in the first place.

They shut down the "Wemo Mini Smart Plug" which was still sold in November 2023. It came with a 3 year warranty.

That is screwed up.

And why you should NEVER buy hardware that comes with a service sold by the same company.

If you buy hardware it should be usable with OTHER people's services. If they want you to get a service, it should include the hardware for free/included in the monthly service fee.

High by almost a third, Apple’s cheapest laptop is a $650 model of the M1 MacBook Air sold only via Walmart.
