There's always something wrong with everything.
There are those who always bring up the wrong-thing.
Don't you get tired of those "glass half empty" naysayers?
Or worse, disguise their desire to control by seemingly bringing up issues to be solved?

One of the Mac-centric YouTube channels predicted a MacBook marketed only at WalMart! That'll be fun.

I purchased the last model of 27" iMac with an Intel CPU. Low or maybe a Mid level CPU. Bumped the memory from 8mb to 32mb. Purchased a Samsung T7 external SSD to run off of. Leave all programs open & rarely used 24gb of RAM and no on-disk swap space. No Problems!

The Apple M-processors with integrated memory needs less memory than older/Intel Macs and PCs to run well (according to the Mac YouTube channels). While I think 16mb is the starting amount, 8mb is probably all that most people need -- especially if the internal disk is used. A family member went through high school with a ChromeBook only. Another went through university with an 8gb MacBook.

I have no idea what the article is Ranting about.

Surprisingly, few Evolutionist see this as part of the evolutionary process!
Modern evolutionists are so Anti-Science. Fighting against the evolutionary process is like trying to swim through a tsunami -- it can't be done. The dinosaurs couldn't fight against asteroids and we can't fight against the plastic either. Of course, our dilemma is the application of the law of unintended consequences. But it is entirely within the shortsightedness of the human race.

Then why don't you buy Internet access for 1 "needy" family?
I guess you're a Democrat who wants to take money from the middle class in order to feel virtuous instead of acually doing something virtuous?!?
Keep your greedy hands out of my pockets! IMHO

Do you realize that your word, "sensitive" and the Navajo's word, "sacred", mean Different Things? This is a basic misunderstanding of the two words even in the 2020's.

Yes, we do!
The issue is not the sacredness of the moon to Native Americans but the continual lying of the USA Federal Government and it's Agencies to indigenous groups and citizens.
As usual, White Man Speaks With Forked Tongue!

I wonder how many Rite-Aid stores will close because of this restriction/punishment?
And how many people will be denied access to Rite-Aid (and other stores)?
I write "punishment" because the OP's blurb doesn't say that the USA Federal Government requires Rite-Aid to develop a functional system but The Federal Government required Rite-Aid to stop trying to reduce crime against their stores. Rite-Aid and its customers are the losers.
Every system can be improved and, in other areas, the Federal Government requires organizations develop better and fairer systems and allows organizations to do so. According to the OP's blurb, the Federal Government didn't permit Rite-Aid to improve their system (camera upgrades, better software, better storage and distribution, etc.). The Federal Government shut down their attempts to protect themselves.

My practice is to give tips in cash to the driver, wait staff, etc. It is my understanding that some businesses take their "share" off the top and let the driver, etc. pay the CC fees. It's a corrupt venture that shaft's their employee (even if they are sub-contractors) and it's even worst when a venture threatens their customers. IMHO

Huh?
The reports by actual buyers of the Ford F150 Lightening pick up truck are certainly NOT helping sales and future penetration into the mid-to-lower middle class and the lower class. The actual owners complain about Ford's poor service in delivering paid-for accessories and Ford's commitment to follow-up with their current customers.
The biggest of their complaint center around 2 things: (1) Charging Anxiety and (2) Payload. Charging Anxiety kills the enjoyment of trips/vacations/etc. Even careful planning of charging stops does not included non-functioning charging stations, under powered charging stations leading to long charge times, long lines for charging, inaccurate gauges inside the vehicles, and rising & high costs of recharging outstripping gasoline prices. (And that's before Federal Government Officials block citizen's use of charging stations because the Secretary of Energy is driving through the area.
Payload:, increasing the load in the Ford F150 Lightening reduces the range of the vehicle. Even adding family members only reduces the range; let alone baggage, supplies, and equipment.
These are reports from actual owners and are easily accessed on News and social media.

The UAW is supporting Trump? I don't know that! Thanks for the News.

The Chinese will smuggle Fentanyl through Mexico to China? Please explain how that works.

Different Industries. Apple and PC manufacturers manufacturer their goods in China. While your concept is interesting, your delivery is a non sequitur.

That's what the article seems to say but is it true? Or is it just unbelievable?

Decades ago, Mercedes put bio-degradable material in their electrical wiring.
These models "died" sooner than they would have otherwise and Mercedes stopped providing parts for these models. Even still, people have these models that would continue running if the electrical wiring were traditional. Many of these models suffered pre-mature trips to repair shops on the way to the junkyard.
"Think of the Children" & "Protect the Environment" was the cry! But now Mercedes owners are hosed.

Bet this happens to computers too!. Just think of the DMV with water-soluable computers -- what a wait we will experience!

You've worked for an airline, have you?
