HFS+ has encryption through a bolt-on process.

APFS has encryption designed in from the core. They don't want to maintain the bolt-on that is only used for legacy / external drives any more, on the way to getting rid of HFS+ altogether.

HFS has been around since the 80s for fucks sake. It's okay for us to leave it behind when they've already done the heavy lifting of automatically converting everyone to APFS years ago.

Or, they are at the beginning of deprecating HFS+ in favor of the APFS file system they've been using for root volumes for almost 10 years now.

Why should they continue supporting a botched-together implementation when they have a file system that was designed with encryption at it's core?

Yes, because I'm sure that fucking Richard Nixon would have done anything different if he beat Kennedy in 1960. He would have invaded twice after bombing the place flat. You know, like he did illegally in Cambodia and Laos.

Holy shit some of you people are so god damn stupid.

So where does threatening to deport them all fit into that narrative?

Or are they they a politically protected set of migrants, and they just want to deport people that politically don't matter?

Explain why we need to "own" it rather than just do what we've done for 80 years since World War II - work with the country that actually "owns" it, to defend it for the sake of Democracy?

Is it just because you're a grasping selfish git?

And all he's doing is driving Russia and China closer together with his bullshit. So, like everything else he touches, he fucks it up and makes it worse.

The word "never" makes you incorrect. See: the Marshall Plan.

The US spent a lot of time, effort, and money rebuilding democracies in Europe after WW2. The USSR decided they needed to keep the spoils of war. The US, UK, and France gave it back to the people who owned it before Germany came knocking.

I agree that it's not the point of US policy now. Now it's "me and mine" which is exactly the shit we don't need.

There are a lot of other chips that go into phones. Modems, etc. Broadcom makes shitloads of these things.

Please show proof of specifically anyone of consequence calling for Sharia Law. I want a name, and a quote. No generalistic fuckstickery like what you just wrote.

Next, show how that could even happen. Hint: it would require constitutional amendment. Go through the steps of how you get to 280 in the House, 67 in the Senate, and 3/5ths of state legislatures ratifying it.

Now kindly fuck off. Adults are talking that actually know how our government functions.

"bothsides" is lazy bad faith argumentation. Corruption is not a digital on / off. There is a scale of how corrupt each and every politician is, from not-corrupt-at-all to our current high office holders.

To put an equals sign between someone who fixes a parking ticket and the guy fleecing us for billions is unbelievably stupid and only serves to make you look ridiculous. Yes, both are degrees of corruption, and should be dealt with by jurisdictional authorities. But there is a gradient of "what a douchebag" to "he's tearing apart society for his own financial benefit" and about a billion points in between that all have a gradient of punishments from losing elections to federal prison.

But to go on equivocating and excusing unprecedented rank corruption and lawbreaking as some kind of two-wrongs-make-a-right my-tribe-versus-your-tribe schoolyard logic beclownery?

Is that really what you're going with?

Well hot damn, if you think the market is ripe for more competition, get down to the bank and get yourself a business loan and build a billion dollar fab that will be obsolete by the time you open it.

Have a fun talk with the loan underwriters. And maybe you'll learn why nobody else is doing that either.

High precision, high yield, high density lithography is hard, and burdened by patent hell by the companies that do it best. You can't get the machines to actually make RAM modules, because the company that makes them has months of their own production spoken for already by the incumbent competition trying to increase their own manufacturing capacities to get a larger slice of the backlog pie - they are going to be able to hit the buffet long before you.

Oh - once you do actually get a merchantable product, JEDEC will fuck you with a new DDR spec forcing you to retool or watch your market dwindle to embedded systems where they buy for pennies because it doesn't matter how fast the RAM is when the system only runs at 250Mhz.

I really don't think you want to get into a conversation about whom on the political spectrum is "outright lying about every issue imaginable and denying reality."

Stop chugging kool-aid. The GOP, it's members, and it's multi-billion-dollar right-wing media propaganda machine are lying to you WAY more than anyone else out there - except for maybe Putin and his government-scale propaganda machine.

Every tightie-rightie accusation is a confession of their own behavior.

Read your first sentence and stopped.

I don't care how "temporary" a President is, and how "outlasting" Congress is, if neither are doing their Constitutionally mandated duties.

The President should be executing the laws passed by Congress. He is not. In fact, he is regularly violating those laws.

Congress should be conducting oversight to make sure the Executive is executing their laws. They are not. They are putting on blinders, earmuffs, and yelling LA LA LA LA LA LA LA instead of doing anything about the blatant violations of law.

Even the judiciary is compromised - the trial and appellate judges are still doing their jobs, but SCOTUS is totally shitting the bed and making up shit that doesn't actually exist anywhere in law, or the Constitution.

This "temporary" damage is about as "temporary" as dropping a low yield nuke into a city. Will the entire city be glass? No. But it will be completely fucked for years longer than the prompt event that fucked it up to begin with.

And you don't see how the scientific method and peer review is meant to eliminate that bias?

And you don't see that as an outlier compared to all the other scientists out there with full postgrad educations that delivered important research to create the society we have today.

Why bother with this picking of nits?
