I still have a couple of e-readers, and I usually take one with me when I go on vacation because it's much easier to read sitting out in the sun and I can read all afternoon without having to worry about the battery life.

In my opinion, autonomous vehicles are nowhere near prime time for general roadway use right now.

Fixed that for you. There are still many PS4 games that are pretty choppy on PS5 because they aren't optimized for PS5 and are locked into a lower frame rate. A good example is The Division.

Disney has complete control over the roadways, so just rebuild the roadways so all the vehicles run on induction power and don't require huge batteries. That would be a real vision of a future roadway.

Globally, Android has about 70% market share over Apple.

Apple (and many others) spends a considerable amount of money paying our license fees for technology that they don't hold patents for. Most of these have to deal with wireless communications.

I'm NOT an Apple fanboi but I don't find it unreasonable that Apple restricts software through it's own app store, and honestly, they make it pretty easy to create an app and publish it on their app store.

MS Access is perfectly fine in some situations. The problem is when companies want to use Access for scenarios where it is ABSOLUTELY NOT the correct tool to use.
Although, I will say that based on the OP, it sounds like Excel and even Access is NOT the correct tool for what it sounds like they are trying to track here.

Did you even bother to read the linked article? It specifically states that the exploit is delivered through game via the anti-cheat software.

Right? Another platform that will send me junk notifications because a co-worker from 4 jobs ago finally killed a mafia boss!

You can NOT train someone effectively in a subject that have no interest in. I have no objection with teaching rudimentary development or computer logic courses in grade school, but make in elective so only those really interested will take it.

I'm in complete agreement with you. Just because basically everyone uses some kind of computing device doesn't mean that everyone has to know how to program it. Those same people use electricity and plumbing everyday as well but the education system doesn't require they learn how to wire a fuse box, or design a functional sewage ventilation system.

There is however one thing that students need to learn about, money and finances. I know so many younger people that have never seen their bank account statements and have no idea what balancing their account means or how to do it.

Yes it was. I was working for a large financial company at the time and we had a bunch of DOS machines running programs to send analytical data to Reuters. We were able to get 2 DOS instances running on an OS/2 box, reducing our hardware requirements in half. We also kept a few DOS machines running for A/B testing and the OS/2 machines ended up being more stable.

Up to now, the whole ransomware scheme has functioned on the premise that if a company pays the ransom, they will get the keys to unlock their data and BlackCat will delete whatever data they have. If BlackCat is cheating their 'partners' who still have access to the data and can still cause problems for the target then future ransomware targets will reconsider paying the ransom. Enough companies refuse to pay and the entire scheme will implode.

I've lived in several apartment buildings and have never experienced or heard of bulk cable pricing. However, I've lived in plenty of places where I wasn't able to get decent cable or internet because some other provider had exclusive distribution rights to the area and had shitty channel selection and horrendously slow internet.
