You mean the cards that only exist because of the chips in them, that are made in Taiwan with the EUV lithography equipment that for which the EU is the world's sole supplier? THOSE graphics cards? THAT is the trade war you want to start? Brilliant idea, CHUD.
Evernote was, for the first many years of its life, the AMG Mercades of note taking apps. It was fast, robust, reliable, feature-rich, and pleasant to use. Then, about five years ago or so, for some reason they decided to... well... to start sucking ass. They released a disasterous new version that is slow, bloated, and buggy; while stripping out quite a lot of the features it used to have. If it were a car now, Evernote would now be an old Fiat Panda with rusted out floorboards and an engine won't get going unless you push-start the car. So the new ownership actually tracks.
Nope. The republicans control the courts there; to the point of discarding and disregarding the will and votes of the people entirely. So while neither party technically has that "trifecta" in Virginia, maga controls the state and agenda in Virginia.
Pot, meet kettle. And, by the way, you people do it more often. As per usual, an accusation, coming from a maga, is in reality a confession.
There are 39 U.S. states where a single political party holds "trifecta" control, meaning one party holds the governorship as well as majorities in both chambers of the state legislature. (Ballotpedia)
23 States have Republican trifectas.
16 States have Democratic trifectas.
Here is the breakdown by political party:
Republican Trifectas (23)
South: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia
Midwest & Plains: Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming
West: Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, Utah
Democratic Trifectas (16)
Northeast: Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont
West: California, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington
Midwest: Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota

WTF??? Did the entire world collectively forget at some point that robots.txt is a thing? So far as I know, google respects it. If they don't, then THAT is definitely a problem. But otherwise, this entire hullabaloo is solved problem and much ado about nothing.
Yeah, Pages and Numbers were nice. But, similarly to this move by the gatesians, Apple pulled the "free with the purchase of a device" iWork suite from the App Store earlier this year and put their replacements behind a Zynga-style micro-transaction paywall.
I think you can still download the old free versions if you already have them attached to your account. But they won't be getting updates anymore. Pages and Numbers are both (I just checked the App Store.) $12.99/month now. I dunno about Keynote... I've never used that one.
Airpods, Magic Trackpads, and other Apple kit do. And my car lets me set its name for bluetooth/CarPlay. I've not seen that functionality elsewhere though; certianly not on any el-cheapo portable bluetooth speaker; nor on any pair of emergency headphones I've bought when I've forgotten to bring or charge my airpods. And a quick google turns up several speakers with some variation of "bomb" or "boom" in their names. So if the bluetooth name is similar to the product name, and it can't be changed, it is not at all unlikely for this to have been entirely unintentional. How many of us even look at our list of bluetooth devices after we pair them? Most of us just turn them on, and if the music plays, that's that. A little common sense would have gone a long way here.
Of course, the REAL question/problem here is what TF whas that little asswipe doing using a goddamned speaker on an airplane instead of headphones like a civilized human being.
They need to block the AI slop entirely and ban the frauds posting it.
Well, here's an idea: If you do want to be a parent; go out, find someone willing, have a kid, and parent it. Stop trying to conscript those of us who don't want the job into parenting your hypothetical kid for and instead of you.
Most of the big names in tech showed their true colors, bent the knee, and converted to mega last year or the year before. They were never going to support or work with Newsom th the first place... that was just an act So it would actually and oddly favorable for him to support this sort of authoritarianism.
Yeah... in your analogy it's not the comfortable people in the midwest with its boring weather and where nothing interesting happens using using or wanting to keep those window air conditioners. To be analogous, the window A/C draws significantly less electricity and has a backup power source that almost never goes down, even when the main power is out. And it's the people in hurricane country where it's 95 degrees and 95% humidity right after the storm passes and takes out the power to the central A/C who want to keep their window units and whose governments are resisting the utility's desire to take them away.
Now, add California (earthquakes) and New England (nor'easters) and Texas (cold days and no grid interconnects) and Hawaii (low grid redundancy) and maybe you'll see the picture.
Because false positives are a thing and cops who stop, attack, kill, arrest, detain, lay hands on, attempt to interrogate, approach, or otherwise darken the days of the innocent are not, themselves, terminated, charged with assault and kidnapping, and locked away never again to breathe free air or to look upon the sun or sky without bars interposed. Nor are DAs who charge (lie) the innocent or judges who go along and allow these shenanigans.
See to it that the police, DAs, and judges are all properly punished when they play their "close enough for government work" game; them we'll talk about giving them more power. Until such time as they are held accountable when they abuse the public, fuck 'em.
Seriously? They're calling this thing a Cyberdeck??? Yeah... no.
Sorry not sorry; but unless I can wire this thing into my brain and then flatline a room full of gonks with burnt out synapses by looking at them funny; this ain't no cyberdeck.
Oh... really?
So all those
Do tell... oh great guru of what is and is not possible to back up on Apple kit.
Well... more than that.
Everyone... Every, Single, Person... who played any part in ordering, planning, setting, implementing, or collecting them needs to be prosecuted and imprisoned. Theft, fraud, official misconduct, services fraud, the Hobbs Act, wire fraud, malfeasance in office... whatever it takes to make those fuckers BURN!
The perversity of nature is nowhere better demonstrated by the fact that, when exposed to the same atmosphere, bread becomes hard while crackers become soft.
