Or schools and such can adjust their schedules as needed. How about adjusting standard time by 30 min putting it right in the middle all year long? :-)

Illegal doesnâ(TM)t mean I donâ(TM)t have the right to record, tho. Government doesnâ(TM)t give rights.

This is the way. If their feed turns into more of what I don't want then I'm gone.

IT/InfoSec doesn't do it because they like it. They do it because
1. It is a best practice these days.
2. It is required by corporate polices and procedures.
3. It is required for external compliance (cybersecurity insurance, PCI, etc.)

The few ruin things for the many.

I fly 200ish flights a year so figure 70-80 nights away.

2025 was 100% hotels but 2019 was about 80% Airbnbs.

Airbnb will never get my business back. Ever. The professional scammer hosts are so good at finding a way to nail me for a fee. Iâ(TM)ve taken perfect check out video and still had to spend hours fighting fees.

Airbnb allowed making guests do it.

They lost so much money to hotels theyâ(TM)re banning hosts from requiring it.

Welcome to the club. ;-)

I suspect the for profit sector will going to start doing some minimal type of encryption to start making DMCA claims.

For those sites that insist ads are the reason their sites are free, I say this. I will unblock your ads if you accept all risk & responsibility for ads on your site.

What has Disney been up to since being in the spotlight for this stuff over 10 years ago? "Hey we've eliminated your position so we need to let you go but we want you to train your replacement (who just happens to be a lower paid H-1B)".

I was thinking the same thing. Of course the government has their own way around the rules. However, what if you turn off your device before arriving? It's current state is off and encrypted and will remain encrypted until you unlock it. if you don't unlock the device then the "current state" of the device is not as useful.

Just a thought.

Pretty much. Only it was mostly enterprises making the move to stay compliant.

IMO - The successful adoption rate of Windows 11 was primarily due to the end-of-support date for Windows 10 set by Microsoft. Organizations were pushed to adopt Windows 11 or face the financial consequences. MS charges more to support "end of life" systems, cyber-insurance companies will charge more, compliance requirements change when organizations have old systems, etc.

As always, individual users made their own decisions but these days some choose to ditch the PC and user their phone.

Remove the apps.

I have no games or social media (easy since I don't really have any accounts) on my phone. I use it to communicate with actual friends and family. I keep an eye on email and occasionally use the browser but I do not like mobile web so most times i just wait until I can use a desktop OS.
