is a direct to the buyer program, where car companies can sell their products directly to the buyers, cutting out the middlemen and their fees.

>The meeting said something on my system was out of date. I installed the missing item as I presumed it was something to do with Teams, and this was the remote access Trojan,

Why on earth aren't you downloading this from a MS Teams page, if something is out of date? It certainly wasn't a popup from Teams itself that showed you this.

If I get an official looking message in email, I don't go about clicking on the links in it - I go directly to the website, log in, and see what's up.

Seems like a good way for a steady revenue stream that they haven't tapped into yet.

So you are advocating that the US get rid of it's nukes?
That's my takeaway from your statements...

>The same Iran indiscriminately bombing it neighboring countries, holding the world to ransom, and threatening to destroy the drinking water of it's neighbours.

Yeah, they are doing all of this as a RESPONSE to Israel and the US doing it FIRST! Goodness, you need to learn to read some news.

I guess that the "proprietary code" isn't so proprietary at all.

Oh, I can understand the private credit markets. I just donâ(TM)t think theyâ(TM)re a good investment. same with bitcoin.

Let them do all their code with AI. Please. When it all comes crashing to the ground, they will have to hire real developers for real money to come in and try to fix the slop.

What did he expect? That there wouldn't be ads? That's quite naive. If there is space, and money to be made, and they can do it, you can expect it to be done.

I will never get an appliance with internet connectivity. It's stupidly unnecessary and just a vulnerability. I don't want to be like that Vegas casino that got hacked through their thermometer.

Does anyone really believe that Walmart will use this to lower prices overall and that this is only for markdowns. I saw that more than once in the summary from Walmart. Oh, no, it's really all good!

>Microsoft executives believed the approach was not feasible and would violate the spirit, if not the letter, of their agreement

Yeah, you can't get much money for violating what *you* consider the "spirit" of the agreement. It's the LETTTER of the agreement that counts. Lol.

I wouldn't get an Apple. It works until it doesn't. You can do everything right and still have your phone f*d up. I lost my entire backup, *after* backing it up per their directions and verifying it. Talked with Apple Support for over two hours and finally they said (basically) "Sucks to be you!" And since I did the backup to perform a factory reset on the phone, after I did that I lost *everything*.

I'm getting an Android next time I need a phone.

With the next election cycle being 6 YEARS away - that's way too late. Massive data centers with polluting generators, massive noise pollution that literally sickens you, massive increases in electricity and water prices. Way too late. Oh, just vote them out! Yeah right, *after* everything is built.

So it *definitely* looks like it could be replicated within a year.

Pretty sure that given a year, an robust alternate to Bloomberg can be created.

As said, it's the proprietary data feeds that are the real issue.
