No, he's telling the truth: Internet Explorer is deeply integrated into Windows.
Oh shit, sorry! I thought you were talking about someone else. Never mind.

I'm not familiar with the support the NYT gave the Nazis, but there's always the Daily Mail.

Why would a manufacturer's device need a trusted introducer to communicate with that same manufacturer? Vizio can be its own CA. There's no intermediary between themself and themself.

Given the choice between incompetence and conspiracy, I usually assume incompetence.
Someone put that far more eloquently several years ago, but I forgot their words.

Good thing they don't do anything complicated up there like scheduling trains. Or airplanes.
Good job that the computers they use when scheduling trains or aircraft are using some form of Unix (or IBM big iron).

Youtube is full of 10's of thousands of videos of very confidently wrong cops
Some of which are marked as AI generated, and some which are not marked as such. I've seen some very plausible YouTube videos which then failed simple fact checking.
In this case though, a policeman simply decided that Ms. Crump's car was "the one" and ignored evidence to the contrary, maybe demoting him would be sufficient punishment. I do agree with King_TJ in the comment above though, there's a good chance that the vehicle owner is milking this incident in order to get that vehicle replaced (and serves the police right for supplying her with possible cause).

Assuming that you also block ads. What monetization model do you think that newspapers should keep in order to stay in business and pay for journalists and editors? Or do you think that digital news shouldn't exist?
You can have subscriptions without annoying paywalls. I have no subscription to NYT and I make no effort to try to get their article details without one. But I still wind up in their subscription funnel because they purposely pursue a strategy of providing just enough access to get the link. It is at least mildly annoying to me and I don't think NYT is planning on compensating me for my wasted time the way they want to be compensated for their effort.
(That said I don't care enough to say there should actually be a prohibition on them doing that.)
