These are SIM bank and servers that are used mainly by marketing firms and the like to send SMS spam. What I guess (HUGE emphasis on guess) happened here is that one of the clients of this particular "company" used their services to send threatening messages to members of congress, hence the involvement of the SS. They would still need to find out which client sent the messages, of course.

Meanwhile, I had an iPhone and an iPad fail on me. The iPhone in particular failed after a year of ownership, the very same month it came out of warranty. Almost the same history with my wife's iPhone. Switched to Android and the only reason I change them is when I feel I need more performance/storage/better camera, which usually happens every 3 to 4 years.

No, what they said is that Apple suffers from rampant privacy invasions and malware vulnerabilities. Android wasn't mentioned, so I can only guess at why you brought it up.

I'm on Windows 10 Pro in an enterprise and I still get xbox ads every other day. I can't imagine it's any better on 11.

Is that why tariffs were also placed on the closest US economic ally, Canada?

This, though they don't need to be expensive to be fashionable. Mine is a Casio A168WA-1 on a black and silver NATO strap.

Also, as an scene from Futurama taught (hopefully) many people before us, spaceship (and by extension for our case, aircraft) only need to withstand between 0 and 1 atmospheres of pressure. Submersibles, on the other hand...

Comic sans was the most extreme and widely known example I could think of at the time. As was the choice of Calibri as the "readable" font in that comparison. Could have easily chosen any other 2 fonts to compare but then it wouldn't have been as clear.

Font matters, believe it or not. It can change the difficulty of reading a document even without changing the content. For example, try reading a document in Calibri, then change the font to Comic Sans, see if you can still stand to read for more than a few minutes. Sure, you can still make out the words, but it takes more effort. And when taking into account HOW the document is intended to be read (printed vs screen, computer vs cellphone, etc) font choice is even more important. Of course, that's a job for font nerds, but the choice isn't as unimportant as people make it out to be.

I'm looking forwards to the mental gymnastics they will use to defend this as a good thing. I have my popcorn ready and everything!

Honestly, that should be the next thing Apple is forced to do: right to repair. If you could have had your iPad repaired (or done it yourself, depending on what you prefer), you wouldn't have had to replace your iPad. Stop blaming the port when the device was engineered to fail.

Likely the second. And it's not even the first time this happens, as it was used to fake fighters being shot down during one of the latest India-Pakistan slap fights.

It came out in 2013, so... yeah. Mainly being kept alive by mods while Bohemia keeps working on the next one.

Neither should game developers, but here we are.

Likely has to do with Japanese defamation laws. You can be sued even if what you're saying is true:
