for these damned paywalled sites

The data center operators pay for the maintenance and disposal costs instead of the general rate payers

We've long said that execs who failed to secure their systems needed jail time.
In this case, it's Kash Patel, with egg on his face, jailing a Canadian... Just dunno

LOL

Now they take Berlin

Purple?

We're eating plastic!!!!!

They already did

Apple is trying to go back to it's roots
Was time, when you went into a school, the computers you saw, were apple.

Then Jobs and his Gucci/Yves St Laurent thinking came in.

Unfortunately, as has been proven over and over again, engineers don't consider privacy concerns... Management does. And what THEY consider is what the impact to revenue is. For every engineer who has qualms, there are a dozen in line waiting to step up for the bucks and reputation as the person who made it happen.

"part of what is striking in all of this is the sheer mundanity of the announcement. Because there have been no consequences "

They got away with it in the US, but I think the EU will be a whole different shootin' match

Here's hoping the EU will hand Sony a nasty surprise

What they'll have to do is to relieve the strangle hold state medical associations have on medical school training slots.

I learned most of what I know today from FAQs and how-to documents
The WHY of changes are usually documented.
I learned VERY little from was RFCs and specs.

I can point to a widely disseminated piece of code that very faithfully implements an RFC very carefully specified behavior... And in even slightly complex environments causes issues, proving "broken by design" is very real.

Right.

BEVs are like Gucci.
Honda isn't seen to be Gucci.
No one wants a Honda BEV.

Charging time, even for the kewl new Chinese BEVs make them... Difficult to justify. Unless your time isn't constrained (read "you're rich").

When ARE taking off around the world, is hybrids of various kinds. FCEV hybrids, etc.
The most interesting that I've seen is by Mazda. They call it a plug hybrid, but it's a BEV with a small wankel engine (with re-engineered edge seals) that ONLY charges the batteries while you drive.
