and 1gbps is the baseline now. We've got 7/7 now in my community. Starlink isn't anywhere close

I can't get it to work reliably at all since switching the password manager to firefox. 95% of the time, it doesn't show up if I use another app or another browser. And to make sure it's not some optimization, I've tried setting firefox to unrestricted battery optimizations and added it to the never sleeping app whitelist (samsung specific optimizations). It was my experience when Lockwise was killed, too, which is why I moved to Authenticator in the first place

Making changes to it at will and making it stop working isn't just something that happens to Microsoft. Mozilla killed Lockwise years ago. Both Mozilla and Microsoft want you to use the browser password manager for passwords, but the problem (with Android) is that browser based password managers barely work for anything outside of the browser due to how poorly Android is designed to allow this to function. Authenticator worked pretty well, and other options are Google's built in password manager, perhaps the phone vendor's password manager (Samsung has one), or something like LastPass

If you take advantage of people because the framework isn't robust enough to protect them, you are still the guilty party

Abusive business practices aren't the sole domain of the US. EU drug manufacturers (who control large portions of the industry) overcharge Americans who need medication for no other reason than because they can. They can't take advantage of people in countries with stronger laws, where people are poorer in general and can't afford exorbitant drug costs, or where the country doesn't give a damn about pharma IP and makes their own versions of the drugs (India). That leaves them with countries like the US to make their nut, and they do it gleefully

technically out of court but legally binding through force of law as if it were in court, and less appealable, too. arbitration is effectively court for this purpose

The fact that people violate other copyrighted works isn't a defense. A copyright holder's right is to defend their copyright, and a key to maintaining copyright is to defend it.

As far as my own experience on this matter, I spent a number of years working with Reynolds & Reynolds on LAW contracts, and they've successfully defended their copyrights and patents related to their contracts being used/modified/recreated by other companies without authorization over the years.

The government can afford those companies to fail, but the government also chooses to try to do what's best for the populace by not letting a big business failure cascade across the economy. That has nothing to do with a private entity's right to control speech on its platform

Low quality trolling

NYC is a limited tech hub with a narrow focus, and Dubai has a population lower than the city of Los Angeles (as well as human rights issues that act as a clamp on a potential influx of talent)

Whether or not they can prove that it was enough to cause the line to spark and start fire is another thing.

Or whether or not that constitutes fault/negligence. This is act of god territory if that theory holds up

All the talk is about data extraction. What are they doing with the data?

You know what fascists do? They say stupid shit like this to try and cover their fascism

Musk is well vetted

Musk has not successfully completed a BI

The OPM leak meant a lot. And it meant a lot to people who work in/with China. I don't really have to worry much about China oppressing me as they're on the other side of the world and my work doesn't really involve them. Nothing I do counteracts or threatens their power. The new regime is right here at home, and they have all of the info they need to pull levers on me because BIs are roto rooters into your history and personal life, and they have every incentive to pull every lever on me that they can to help keep them in power because as a voter here I am a direct threat to their power.
