Every time the Democratic Party loses an election, the unnamed "leftists" are responsible. The party centrists are re-labelled as extremists. The message is clear: Disagreeing with billionaires is extreme. The loudest 'supporters' of the Democratic Party really want oligarchy-lite: A watered-down version of Republican racism and bigotry. It's not a "big tent" party, it's a party grovels to the insiders who oppose its principles, in those few cases where the party disagrees with the Republicans.

They want to put military equipment on an isolated, easily-accessed island. One can only assume the equipment does not play well with ordinary buildings and electronics. Eg. Radar/microwave technology.

Technically, that problem doesn't disappear: They've got to build long-distance cable (and probably, a satellite tower as back-up), power plant, electronics and the secret military hardware that doesn't like all that infrastructure. Plus, they're doing it a place that surveillance drones can easily access.

It's seems more like an Achilles heel than clever intelligence-gathering.

Social responsibility is reducing the burden of the the uneducated, the sick, the hungry and the homeless. Making more money does not reduce that burden: Paying more taxes, reduces that burden. But the US government has spent 40 years helping their richest people pay less tax.

The easier step is to never bring IoT devices into the home. But that means operating the appliance by hand: Now, labour-saving devices require too much labour. It's a sick, sad world when we need to buy spyware to create a little leisure time for ourselves.

The manufacturers of cars and car electronics have not admitted to such technology. Spyware and driver assistant, OnStar, have claimed such control over the manufacturer's hardware. Russian owners of Cyber-trucks have also made such claims against Tesla.

Normally, one would say, if you don't look after the planet, you won't have a planet. The problem is, the planet was here long before self-deluded humans, so the correct perspective is, the planet won't have you. Most people lack the humility to recognize why that's a problem. A lot of them also care more about self-aggrandizing billionaires, than the health and wealth of themselves and their neighbours.

Ask for a tax receipt for your donation: If they don't deliver a legal document itemizing who received your money, you are helping someone make a profit.

The people who have to pay for it. In addition to 100s of billions of dollars in tax cuts, the Trump government is also removing a billionaire's responsibility to protect data, the people, or even the government.

Everything the Trump government does, is about denying rich people have a duty of care to the rest of the country. If Trump had his way, every transaction would be a civil contract with disputes settled by arbitration: Your legal rights will be whatever you can afford to buy or steal.

The woman has custody of the children, not the account. It sounds as if the account is in his name and she wants control because she has the children. Apple and the husband have no duty to hand it over.

What about suing her ex-husband to remove the children from his account since the only time they use it is when they are with him. Then she can sue again for the husband to pay when the children use her account. Yes, it's slow and expensive: Unfortunately, the courts do not owe her, even when her husband is abusive.

Many of the Protestant sects hold that belief, although as far as I know, the bible never says that. American Evangelicalism proposes the world will end with the rapture, where true believers of American Exceptionalism are literally lifted into heaven.

This is a bunch of newbies trying to make bleeding-edge technology: It will take decades to build their own experience and tool-set. If they do become successful, they've still got competitors who are teaching themselves to build identical machines.

If Dutch ASML feels threatened by the USA, all the do-not-sell-EUV-technology-to-countries-the-USA-hates agreements will be shredded, increasing the amount of competition.

He means, whatever the AI says is popular. It's the purpose of spyware such as Recall and Co-pilot: They're the equivalent of the Funzo (furby) toy on The Simpsons.

They're going to "up-scale": In case people have forgotten, 3 years ago, they down-scaled their free service to 720p. As others have commented, it was more than the 1080p videos: Everything was down-scaled. Now, they're going to algorithmically put the pixels back: Enshittification has become a benefit.

Fox News appeared before smart phones. It's just that so many US people agreed with the fear-mongering and 'world owes me/billionaires' delusion. A recent quote reveals the phenomenon: "Two types of people support Trump: Billionaires and idiots, so check your bank-balance." Book-banning and enforcing religion-based laws is an obvious symptom of the quest for power over others. Anti-vax conspiracy theories and demanding everyone copy their delusions, is the latest step in the power-grab.

Plus, some people want to see the world burn: As individuals they get nil benefit although as international competitors, spreading misinformation can provide economic or military advantage.

What's the use-case for this, proof of age/name/nationality? In short, it's a Real Id without the address details or driving credentials. Since it's not a government-issued identity document, it is worthless and useless.

If it's multiple usernames, that's more useful. One can create usernames that only the government (and Apple?) know. Of course, that only identifies who created the account, not who has the password and, thus, control of the account. But this could be an anonymous proof-of-age mechanism: It requires the government support a naming body, similar to ICAN.
