Not serving. Linking to from within their own code.

Why more people are buying DVDs/blu-ray. They have the movie. They own it. It can't be taken from them. It won't change.

The same with books. No worrying that your digital copy will mysteriously disappear one night. You have the book. You bought it. It's yours. The words won't change.

Errr, hearing aids are significantly larger with standard hearing aid batteries being larger than airpods themselves,

No, they're not. My dad has hearing aids and they are about the same size as an airpod.

For reference, this is close to, but not the same as, what he has. This shows the size of the various airpod models. They are not "significantly larger" than a hearing aid, and in fact are nearly identical in size.

Like seriously that is an insanely ignorant example. Cheese also contains calcium so what excuse does chalk have for not being used as a sandwich topping?

Yes, your example is insanely ignorant. Cheese is a food. Chalk is not.

Yes. For drinking the telecoms KoolAide in the first place. Unfortunately, nobody could have foreseen cellular networks "going dark" in rural areas upon the cutover to 4/5G. Right where the utility would most depend on wireless meter reading.

... is always lying to me. In that sense, it's not much different than my wife. So I don't really see a problem with such relationships.

... my local utility doesn't make me suffer through a major inclement weather event in order to experience an outage.

Just a few extra people plugging in their Teslas is all it takes.

... it resembles a cat.

That sort of misses the whole "involuntary" part of the definition.

"She's got huge tracts of land!"

That's the 1934 legislation (also included telephony). Since then, modified by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to include broadband. And the beloved CDA (Section 230).

Yandex image search left Google in the dust some time ago.

How about this?

Just try to pry that electronic fidget toy out of zoomers hands and watch the ensuing crying and blubbering.

If you are a cellular operator, you should. A few decades ago, our local utility started a switch over from their own proprietary mesh meter reading network to a 2G/3G GPRS system. They got a ways into switching a few hundred thousand meters over when they got the AT&T memo: We're switching to 4G/5G. They went back and reinstalled their mesh network. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me again, shame on me.

AT&Ts law enforcement network was even worse. They conned our region's police forces to switch over to FirstNet. Which they did for data, but not voice. Now the cops can't connect to their departments servers half the time. They have a dedicated (voice) channel for department IT problems.

I would be surprised if they haven't already taken the x-ray imager onboard. Just to check out the background noise level. As to the size and stability of the source and imager, my dentist uses a source about the size of a large cordless drill. Handheld, the pulse is (evidently) short enough to make hand tremors a non issue.
