I wonder how they will handle ads, since linear TV already has lots of them. Will they play their ads over the live stream? Will they give up on their own ads and take a bite from the TV channel revenue?

Here's a quick story for you:

In Brazil, ex-president Bolsonaro - a notorious Trump's ass kisser - is about to be tried and possibly convicted for planning and attempting a coup that was very similar to January 8th. It was discovered that the ill-fated plan included ASSASSINATION of the president-elect and the head of the Supreme Court.

However, he is still very strong politically among the far right.

So one of his sons - who is currently a senator - gave an interview this week, clearly drawing inspiration from the American experience, stating that the candidate his father supports for the next presidential elections should commit to pardoning him - and here's the important part - EVEN IF IT HAS TO BE BY FORCE against the Supreme Court!

Trump is actually setting the bar and the modus operandi for the whole far right around the world.

One has to be very naive to trust this won't happen soon.

I don't use Twitter much. But one of these days I accessed it and was impacted by a tweet urging "white christian people to rise up in arms and make America white again." I reported it, only to receive a response the next day stating they haven't found anything wrong with the post.

So, that's the state of things and what we may expect with other social media now.

Of course, some will say I can simply not use social media if that kind of speech bothers me. But let's be honest: simply pretending you don't see it really doesn't solve the issue, does it?

Absolutely same with me. I plea ro every parent I meet to vaccinate their children if they don't want them to suffer horribly from a totally preventable disease.

But from the cited law I understand that it must be done under a warrant, which is not the case here.

Well, talking about irrational administrations and "are they likely to become expansionist" followed by "are you in range", I can only think of...

China! Of course, the damn Chinese! What other country would anyone think of? /s

Absolutely not. We can at least try to trap and collect the bigger parts. Microplastics can't.

Also, marine life gets contaminated with microplastics, which can be even deadlier to it and to ourselves.

Exactly! I like F1 racing. I pay US$45/year for their subscrption and can watch all the practices and races live (or after). And the streaming is wonderful. I can even change narration language, watch onboard cameras and race telemetry. I've been gladly renewing it for the last 4 years.

Yeah, the summary makes this look like some shocking news. But actually, that has been the more or less the usual procedure from Apple.

And if you consider the chip change in the middle of it all, it's even less surprising.

You keep repeating this bs over and over, when it's blatantly false.

Current PS is supported down to Mac OS 12, which on its part is supported down to most 2015-16 Macs.

Even if it was true (it isn't) that PS required the latest system, current Mac OS 15 is supported down to 2017-18 Macs. That are 8 years old machines, with a chipset change in the middle.

I just replaced my old MB Pro 2016 just before it looses support, but used it until recentes, including all Adobe apps.

Notice that:

1) Indonesia government demanded "40% of smartphone components" being made there, but settled for accessories and AirTags.
2) The investment (reportedly) was of only USD150 million, nothing near the billions that are being required in the US.
3) Indonesian wages are about 1/6 of the US.
4) We don't really know how many jobs they're creating, but I bet it's not that much.
5) We have no way of knowing how much corruption went with this deal.

Can't agree more. That's my impression from day one. I'm curious to see the numbers for things like trade, unemployment and crime at the end of his term. I bet any marginal difference will be touted as a HUGE win.

Yeah. Exactly. In my country government provided electronic IDs have been a thing for some time. Payments too.

I haven't carried a wallet with me for years. I also use the e-ID to log and validate all public services I use, mostly on-line, with no hassle. Heck, I even use it to vote and do my taxes in just a few minutes, for free!

I must note, none of this is compulsory. You can still use your phisycal documents if you want. It's just that you'll have a bit more trouble to do all the things I mencionei before.
