Errr I'm struggling to see the inconsistency.

Coffee has always been associated with a mix of positive health outcomes. At no point was it considered dangerous in moderate quantities, and in extreme quantities it can still kill you.

Alcohol has ALWAYS been associated with negative health outcomes, even being drunk reduces stress (that isn't a health outcome).

You're just not reading your studies beyond the headlines, and even then I suspect you're not reading every word.

Hey Dingus, the SCOTUS isn't going to contact a lower judge and tell them in advance how to rule, it doesn't work that way.

Except that's precisely how ruling on a shadow docket works, and the biggest complaint about them is that there's usually no written justification so lower courts can't even figure out why SCOTUS would rule the way it will when the case gets there.

The OP was DOUBLE incorrect. Precisely zero people in the Philippians have remote control access to Waymos. That handover is handled by two US based call centres only. The Philippians centre is exclusively used for training AI. i.e. they get information about a situation and get asked what instructions the AI should do. There is no "remote control".

The OP has even in the past posted references that directly contradict his own take. He's nothing more than a paid shill, or maybe the dumbest moron on Slashdot.

Because Google doesn't do that. You know this. You've been correct on this multiple times. Yet you keep pushing your dumbarse fake take over and over again.

At this point there's no sugar coating it anymore. You're nothing more than a dishonest cunt spreading rubbish. The sheer amount of rubbish you're spreading on this topic can only lead someone to the conclusion that you're paid to do it. No human with a functioning braincell would post what you do without being paid to.

If you're Canada, would you trust the US ever again?

Your question answers itself. If they trusted in the past they can trust again in the future. The concept that trust changes over time is baked right into the premise of your question. It'll take time, but important it can happen. Trust is built and lost over time between all parties in all interactions.

I think you're approaching this from the wrong angle. The idea of installing associated software is not a bad thing. I actually expect when I plug my LG monitor with it's integrated calibrator to install LG Calibration studio. That's not anti-consumer in any way. On the other hand not policing what is installed so that PUP like Mcafee rubbish is installed absolutely should be part of this process.

Windows 11 is fine in this case, but fuck Microsoft for not policing the rubbish in the Microsoft Store, and fuck LG for pushing unrelated software with the driver.

I agree, and in some ways the disease is worse than the cure. I have an LG monitor and I actively *WANT* it to install the associated software. I paid extra to have a calibration unit on my monitor so plugging it in and automatically I actually liked that LG Calibration Studio was automatically installed.

On the other hand Mcafee can FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF.

You don't need a video or a tool for this. You just need to click Start, type "Device insta" and then click on "Change device installation settings" when it shows up as a suggestion, and then change it from yes to no.

There's literally a windows setting to control this behaviour. It's ironic suggesting someone install a tool to prevent installing tools when you don't need the tool to do that.

Not just detection but I suspect it doesn't affect Slashdotters as the community here is widely known for both a) managing privacy settings in their OS and not using Windows 11 default "recommended settings", and also not using a Microsoft account.

There's a certain set of default settings (and an account) required for a driver to download associated software automatically from the Microsoft Store.

What are they packing in there?

You answered your own question, a GUI and the associated software to use the features of your mouse. If you're buying that mouse without using the associated features you're probably an idiot for overspending on that mouse.

By the way you're being dishonest. Not only is openrazor not feature complete compared to Synapse, it also is also dependent on a complete functioning python3 subsystem. The windows package is standalone.

Don't forget to calculate your entire dependency tree when attempting to quote Linux install sizes.
