Because the fetch is issued by the operating system's credential service rather than by Safari, it never enters Private Relay's proxied path. The destination server sees the device's real IP address either way,"

A server is seeing someone trying to authenticate from one IP address and accepting credentials from a different IP address?

To be fair, I've thought this about all Trump schemes and fund raising. Perhaps some new laws will result from his tenure to prevent future president from the kinds of self-dealing he's done while in office, and SCOTUS will uphold them, though I'm dubious they'll actually be needed (as much) going forward. /super-cynical

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella took time to tout a dashboard he personally created using AI from a Morgan Stanley analyst's PDF research report, which suggested a rosy payback for the so-called MAG7's ('Magnificent 7' companies) massive capital expenditures on AI (to which Nadella later added a "not financial advice" disclaimer).

He wouldn't have touted or even created this dashboard if the report hadn't suggest a rosy payback. The jury is still out on that prediction.

At this point, I've stopped giving politicians the benefit of the doubt. If they support regulations that look like they have the potential to drag the United States into becoming an authoritarian hellhole, I assume that they're actually trying to do just that. It makes it a lot easier to convince myself to vote for another candidate in every election afterwards, even if that candidate isn't as good in other areas, because at least the other candidate isn't trying to destroy our basic freedoms.

Look up the sponsors of the bill, and vote against them from now on, whether it's a primary or a general election. Repeat until ousted.

Currently, all the cosponsors are Republicans - 26 on the House bill and 4 on the Senate bill.
