Many executive contracts list fireable offenses. Relationships with subordinates is normally on that list. If this affair is true, it gives HR more than enough legal justification to fire him quickly. An affair with a Chinese spy might take a while to determine how that may have affected the company.

Known philanderer supporting another philanderer. Shocking turn of events . . .

I have two PC running that have no TPM modules. I have a 3rd which has no RAM that is not running that would have no TPM modules. Many people did not upgrade to 11 because they did not have a TPM module and did not want to buy one. "Practically every" does not mean what you want it to mean.

Also they have to specify which versions of Windows will and will not run. As well what software libraries are installed. Or they could just not bother with PCs.

Define "modern". Many "modern" PCs could not upgrade to Windows 11 because they did not have TPM modules. Those that don’t want a TPM module do not have to install one. If the bank is writing software for a PC, it has to either limit which individual PCs will not run their software. Or not bother with tailoring their software for the myriad of variations that a PC might be,

PCs are so varied there is no guarantee that the PC has the necessary security hardware. Phones by model either have or do not have security chips like Apple's Secure Enclave or Android Keystore. With any PC, it is down to the individual PC as neither of them have a TPM module. Then we have the issue of the operating system. Even if we limit PCs to Windows only, some people are still running very old Windows that no longer get any updates.

Also spicy mustard must have changed the atmospheric gas composition.

What leads you to believe the planners had full autonomy in their decisions? This is Russia. "Build it here because Putin says so." is something that only needed to be said once.

Simple. There is a difference between not knowing and not doing. People do not always do their job correctly because they don't care.

The car would not have been towed if the police did not request it. One of the issues I can see is police treat a Flock as infallible perfect identification when, at best, it generates possible suspects in this case. The police in this case did not use their best judgement ignoring their doubts and towed the car anyways.

When has Apple ever made their own displays? As far as I know they used others like LG or Samsung.

Maybe, maybe not. That might only stop the AI from accessing the account, That does not stop hackers from getting AI to give up your passwords. I do not assume AI security it good enough right now to stop someone from prompting to get past the security.

I mean people have probably sued lawnmower companies because they were not warned to not to lift the mower with their hands when it was running. For every warning sign you see that you think it is stupidly obvious, there was probably someone who did exactly what was warned.

No one is forcing you to upgrade your iPad every 2-3 years just like no one is forcing you to upgrade your iPhone every year. Some people want to upgrade; that is their choice. For some people, they need an additional iPad for their children/spouse etc. For some, their iPad met an unfortunate end. For most of us, we upgrade if and when we need.

The iPad mini costs more than the base iPad because the base iPad is using a 4 year old chip. The base iPad in the current lineup as far as I remember got the oldest chips. The iPad mini is not cheaper than the iPad Air or iPad Pro.
