Comment Cannot change my email address (Score 2) 12

Even if I could in theory change my email address, there is so much depending on it, it would be huge trouble to change it. For example, if you are in the UK with settled status, you need to make sure you keep your email address and phone number. Result: Iâ(TM)m paying BT £7.50 every month for three email addresses (up to 10 actually, but I only need three).

Is it "Full self driving" as defined by the meaning of those 3 words put together? No? Ok then. Can you summon your car from anywhere and sleep in it while it drives across the country in difficult weather conditions, like he promised it would be 6 years ago? No? Ok then. Can you understand why people are tired of having this conversation with tesla stans? No? Ok then.

Not even "bad weather conditions". Can I drive to the supermarket, tell the car to park itself, and call it to the entrance of the supermarket when I'm done shopping? Can I send it to drop my kids at school and pick them up later?

But if single core performance isnt enough, you have not one, but two performance cores, and you have five efficiency cores. Each of them on its own isnâ(TM)t very powerful, but macOS and iOS are very good at distributing work between different cores, and these five cores together have much more performance than another performance core.

Has nothing to do with ownership. Apple is just one of five or six companies who have a fully paid license to use all of the ARM IP which includes a license to build their own independent hardware.

I think Qualcomm might be another one, and some companies who didnâ(TM)t manage to turn this license into a success.

"In MANY European countries, you cannot criticize the head of state." Havent been in a European country yet where the citizens cannot criticise the country's head of state. But for example Germany makes it illegal for German citizens to attack the current or former head of state of a foreign country unless that person is legally convicted. Because for example Trump could cause a lot of trouble for lots of German.

""Is the user older than 18?" is acceptable "Is the user older than 18 yet? What about now? What about now? What about now?" is not. "What is the user's age?" is not. "What is the user's name?" is not. THAT would be a HUGE improvement on the status quo because the status quo is "Upload your driver's license and let us use a web cam and some AI bullshit" which is inherently anti-privacy." The number "18" shouldn't be used nowhere either. A kid should be able to prove with their iPhone that they are not six yet and get the cheaper children's menu in a restaurant. Or over 65's should get senior prices going to a museum. Or if you need to be 21 to be allowed something else, you should be able to prove that.

And you set up an iPhone by taking some ID to an Apple Store, and they set your date of birth.

With Open Source software you don't have a big company behind it that guarantees it has seen some ID with the right date of birth.

There is this obsession that a technical solution is either perfect or useless with nothing in between.

The problem for open source software is that I am legally allowed by copyright law + GPL license to modify the code implementing this. But there may be other laws. âoeAny software must either make a good effort to verify the age, or reply that the age cannot be verified. âoe.

"I was under the assumption that Apple had long-term contracts for RAM and other components that effectively made them immune to supply chain issues like the current RAM shortage?"

Nobody actually knows. If RAM prices triple for most computer makers, then I bet memory cost for Apple won't stay constant for long. Now Apple selling RAM is quite profitable for them, so they can eat some of the extra cost. But for a machine with 512GB RAM their cost will grow enough to hurt if they eat the cost, and someone will have calculated how much sales they would lose if they continued selling machines with 512GB RAM with the same profit and decided against it.

If you run regedit, you can see the key of any facing computer and use it on your home computer.

The entire idea of keys is flawed. You can't actually use these and expect security. So Bill 'Bioterrorist/Scopex/Cancer meat/Brain on a Chip/Little kid banging Epstein' Gates is jailing others from his own mistakes?
