I recall that this was discovered a long time ago when sales and marketing people realised that people would tend to turn right after they enter a store. I also seem to recall that this didn't hold true for left-handed people.

It would be interesting to see data from countries that are left-hand traffic. Streams of people in left-hand traffic countries tend to walk on the left side, and tend to move to the left if someone is walking towards them - which tends to be fun when walking about a right-hand traffic country! Though given these results were also tested in Japan, which is left-hand traffic, I'd expect there isn't a difference.

Are claiming that you can't place calls from outside the USA to the USA? Are you claiming that there is no such thing as international roaming? I hope that muddies things back up for you.

The US constitution wasn't ratified until 1788 so Adams and Washington would have been approximately 52 and 56, at a time when the average life expectancy was much lower. Most people would consider them to be old even by today's standards. I am less than a 5 years older than they were at the time, and I can 100% confirm that I am an old man.

Bullshit. Your post exposes your complete lack of understanding of this issue. Even if you argue that there is a conspiracy and disabling location services and setting your google account Web & App activity and Timeline to off doesn't really work, these things track a *phone*, not a person. It is possible to simply not tie your phone to any google account, or to get a regular non-smartphone device. You can also create an anonymous google account which gets tied to the phone number, not your ID *until* this requirement is enacted. Once that happens it will be impossible to create an anonymous google account that the government cannot tie back to a citizen. Same with FB and similar, as well as any other website or app that requires/uses a verified phone number. If you have any self-respect at all you will apologize to every person you ever misinformed about this issue. You ignorance is dangerous.

No joke. The way you can't even drag windows when Office apps are busy is hilarious coming from a composited X11 desktop, where not only can I drag busy applications, the mipmapped thumbnails update.

Whether those were actual attempts on his life is a matter of debate

Is that why we were discussing one of their allegedly patched vulns still not being patched years later... like two weeks ago? They take stock prices seriously, security not so much.

Apple made their OS open, then closed portions of it, so you cannot trust them, just like all of the other closed source vendors. That doesn't mean no operating system is trustworthy, only that Apple is no more trustworthy than Microsoft.

"The fact that they managed to keep up with this and publish massive amount of patches is a sign of excellence."

That's assuming they did meaningful fixes and not just some AI slop bullshit that will create more problems than it fixed.

I don't give Microsoft the benefit of the doubt, they have proven that is not sensible time and again.

Oh look the dipshits who get mod points haven't heard of Snowden either

The ancient American cars people are thinking of when they think of Cuba were made of thicker, softer metal, which is easier to work on. Those vehicles were made of 100% virgin steel. Modern cars have substantial recycled content and the steel is much harder, therefore harder to work, and they use harder steel specifically so that they can make it thinner, which is also harder to work without destroying the metal. You simply cannot restore a modern vehicle as easily as you can the older ones, even putting complexity aside.

That's literally what this story is about.

Realistically, this will accomplish nothing significant in the positive direction, while it will hurt a few people. In the process it will cost a lot of money. Therefore it's a shit plan.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

"we don't have warrantless searches and other intensely invasive government surveillance right now"

I like to place reading comprehension tests on the internet for people to, apparently, fail.

No one suggested that it should be. Don't make things up to be upset about.
