I.e. "It does."

Good points, but to be fair, ultrasonic is currently used to break up kidney stones because it is safe to use it to do so.

Amazon took nine years to reach profitability.

I'm not sure Amazon is a good example here. The company famously opted to reinvest its free cash flow into growing the business, rather than saving them and booking them as net income. They likely could have been profitable sooner otherwise.

Also, I am not aware of Amazon receiving billions in government support in the 1994-2001 timeframe.

What seemed to be noticeable errors this past year on watching my vehicle track on GPS. Some major lags on positioning, and even some apparent forays off road while traveling on an interstate. I realize the radio testing was done in the northeast Atlantic, but it seems like a possible explanation for something I had not seen in a long time. I also realize mine is an anecdote and not significant data. I do remember when they turned off selective availability, rigging my Garmin to the computer so I could watch the position accuracy numbers tighten up.

Score one for K'Breel and the Council of Elders, I guess. We'll get you next time, you crafty Martians!

Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are still included with every Apple device. The current versions are fully up to date and are free for any device owner.

What Apple has done is put the AI features and licensed stock images behind a paywall. Which isn't great, but those weren't core features to begin with; the iWork apps existed long before they were added.

To quote Apple: "Yes. You can continue using Keynote, Pages, Numbers, and Freeform for free. And while these apps remain free for everyone, an Apple Creator Studio subscription offers premium templates, a library of high-quality, royalty-free photos and graphics, and powerful intelligence features."

Why would an otherwise routine software update even come with new EULA terms?

Off the top of my head, I can't recall an Office for Mac update ever coming with a new EULA.

While Office 2021 is affected by the expiring license, it's still under support until Oct 2026 and users just need to update. It only reverts to read-only if you don't update.

Thank you. I had been wondering about this precisely because Office 2021 is still receiving updates.

So this is really only an Office 2019 issue. Which still isn't great, but it is at least older.

And from the sounds of things, this only impacts the retail-licensed version of Office 2019. The volume licensed LTSC version doesn't rely on an activation server or certificates.

Denotating it is exactly what the Bluetooth name does. *Detonating* it, on the other hand...

You realize that's the point, right?

or does this administration seem to treat the periodic table like the first monolith in 2001?

with 12 launches in 3 years at a 58 percent success rate and zero orbits, and a requirement for 20 successful full orbit launches in 2 years. Musk has a reputation for hubris masking actions. This is not the same as using a LM. Wake me when they can auto land something unmanned on the moon.

I seem to have had a very similar progression. I still tend to think in "/." replacement operators, but it's been perhaps 15 years since I've really used Wolfram Language.

Do you really say "lol"?
