Yeah. Because Apple got the FDA clearance for that feature in 2021, clearly after Samsung in 2023. You are as right as you always are.

Yeah, ok. But you can't deny that there isn't much of a market for hot shit on a hot summer day. Everyone is buying frozen. You can make your own of course, or take the frozen and heat it to your hearts desire, but don't be surprised you can't buy hot shit these days. Its just basic market dynamics.

No Google ate their lunch with chromebooks, because Apple didn't care enough about management. It takes so little time to figure out a keyboard and touch pad, like less than an hour for kids over the age of 6.

Oh god, all Android tablets are terrible. Including and especially samsung ones. Even worse app support, janky hardware with limited repair options. The list goes on. You buy samsung if you are obligated by contact, religion or habbit to have a non Apple tablet. Thats about it.

The ipad works great with printers. I know its very confusing, but any wireless printer works pretty well with cloud printing. It detects the printer automatically and can print to it if its on the same network. It works better than any windows or linux based device does with HP's own drivers.

And well, it works well enough with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The mouse support is really really odd. I can't recommend that for anyone. And of course it works great with icloud storage.

But yeah, An ipad is a bigger ios device. That's it. You can even make phone calls on it. So doing iphone things but on bigger screens, maybe with more people than yourself.

This was my thought too -The guy wants to turn the iPad into MacBook without a keyboard.

The is nothing less 'portable' than something with pile of external dongles, adapters, etc hung off it just to make it useful.

USB-C or a conventional proprietary connector type-y docking station or port-replicator works for the desk but it does not travel. Nobody wants to walk into the conference room of the coffee shop and assemble and squid like array of thunderbolt gadgets, only to tear it all down (and probably have to close or restart half the apps using the stuff) 15min later.

Indeed; Windows 3.11 + Norton Desktop 3 - was a better UI than we have today on any platform.

I ran NDW (not Commander) on 32-bit Windows for years until the lack of LNF support and the fact the rest of the world have moved to actually using long filenames made it unworkable.

However in terms of a cohesive way to find and working with everything on the system nothing has duplicated it since.

STFU

Imagine the reaction the Chinese government if the US State Department or a large US business - so deliberately tried to circumvent and displayed such contempt for the intent of Chinese law. Bad actors are bad actors. Just because our own behavior isnt perfect does not mean we must just ignore problem behavior.

It might mean that we should exercise some discernment and proportion in our degree of judgement and condemnation but we can at least 'talk' about dilberate attempts to violate our policy without being 'racists'

Sounds like he probably went to the hospital with influenza B (high in Kansas recently), where he got a bonus dose of MRSA and maybe Covid --> pneumonia, which killed him. Nobody wears masks in the hospital now; it's one of the most dangerous places to be.

I consider hospital-acquired-infections to be bioweapons of a sort. They're totally avoidable with proper PPE.

I agree it looks bad. Given the MIC and deep state ties here where Boeing is concerned; I have no difficulty believing that anything *could* be possible.

However what *should* happen absent any evidence whatsoever this wasn't a freak medical condition?

Remember every event is coincident with some other event if you don't restrict the topics of the other event or allow enough time. Should we blow a bunch of tax dollars launching investigations into people who might want Boeing's critics silenced? Where do we stop, the Officers, board of directors, large share holders, Generals pushing for military contracts, Congress person with Boeing facilities in their districts, YOU with the mutual fund?

Just about everything in nature is either growing or dying. I don't know why you'd expect a naturally emerging system like a free market place to work any differently.

Well the reality is no matter how you slice it the USA has contributed more to Ukraine in terms of actual goods than the EU. That should be looked upon as entirely unacceptable.

You are right though, for the most part this is a great way to pump a bunch of money out of the public treasury into MIC and its owners pockets. Funny how everything that touch Ukraine turns out to be money laundering scheme when you zoom out a bit.

That would be a really bad move. The fact those job creators are ultimately the ones producing the goods we all need. There will be "plenty" for them no matter what policy choices we make (sort of some revolution that has them stood against a wall anyway).

However if you take away enough of their 'wealth' because of your pathetic jealousy they will pull back on the industrialization of what they have left. You think you have inflation now; just implement ^^ this ^^ type of policy and watch how expensive bread stuffs actually get!

That would be a reasonable approach, I agree but its not without its own set of challenges.

Now Amazon would have powerful incentives to cut off any clients who are say controversial and likely to trigger DOS attacks etc. We be able to add being 'unhosted' alright kinda thing to list of being unbanked, deplatformed, and canceled. You'd expose every client to the hecklers veto; no matter how deep their pockets.

I am not sure that is good thing either.

How many times are people going to try to push this argument. By this logic we should not restrict anything that might be harmful.

Cigarettes are obviously bad for kids but if you don't let them walk in to the C-store to get a pack what is the child smoker going to do? They look for some less legitimate source. Those darts are more likely to be laced with whatever or have harder drugs in them!

Yes it should stupid because it is stupid. Its likely saying we should legalize cocaine because it would take the money out of drug crime. Sure it would probably make life safer for a small minority of coke heads but keeping contraban status probably keeps the vast vast majority of the public from every trying a highly addictive and dangerous substance.

Making porn less accessible to children WILL result in fewer children accessing porn and given parents who are actually trying to monitor and manage their children online something of a fighting chance.
