My company uses Microsoft for email. Managing users is a mess with two systems ("Admin" and "Entra"). We don't use Microsoft for any Windows logins or anything resembling the cloud AD.

Earlier this year, one of my users lost access to his authenticator app. I followed instructions I found on the web, which went through the "Admin" web pages. Didn't work. I got on a support call with Microsoft, in which they could see my screen. They talked me through the same steps as I had performed earlier. Didn't work, even though it should. Eventually, with lots of searching, I happened on the "Entra" web pages and was able to actually fix the user's log in issue.

It's a mess.

Remember: we are talking about Business Insider here.

Actually, no. The framers gave Congress a lot of power. Unfortunately, Congress has, over the centuries, delegated that power to the President.

They might have abandoned them. That puts Sega's rights to them in a grey area.

Someone at Sega needs to get a cheque book out and make this right. Clearly Sega screwed up, and is trying to weasel out of responsibility.

This is the City of London Police. I am not surprised at their actions.

I think it would qualify as abandoned, which would put it in a legal grey area in the UK. I don't think that it is clearly Nintendo's.

This is the City of London police, who seem to think that one of their roles is protecting the intellectual property of large companies.

This is interesting:
"Police requested the seller relinquish ownership two days after releasing him from eight hours in custody, which he refused."
"requested" ... sounds like the police know they are on thin ice.

The fact that there has not been any indictments for handling stolen property also speaks volumes.

Are you talking about China and Xi or the USA and Trump?

My Pixel 4a (5g) still works well. Battery life is reduced, but no so much that it is unusable. I have always used a "Chargie" device to limit charging (not needed on newer phones, since this capability is in the latest versions of Android OS).

I keep the phone for its free Google Photos uploads. I have about 100GB of photos and videos in my 15GB Google storage.

Many people have time during their commutes. I walk for 30-60 minutes per day (got to get those steps in) and that's when I listen to podcasts. Without that activity (the walk or commute), I would not listen to them.

When I moved to another state, I could not pass the vision test without my glasses. But it was my reading glasses that I had with me that day. Apparently, this state doesn't care about distance vision.

The article says 74% of people, not drivers. I would assume that it really means 74% of those people eligible for a license have one.

Starting with the Military and prisons, presumably.

Strange, then, that race cars use slick tires, unless it is raining (or they are required to use street tires).

No, the difference is the hardness of the tire compounds. Harder compounds give you less grip, but better mileage.

If I recall correctly, the claimed difference in particulates from EV tires vs. ICE tires was supposed to be due to the weight of the vehicle. On the other hand, the brake pads on EVs give off far less particulates.

I think you may be mistaken.

A possible interpretation is that the bank's intent was to do the following:
1. Tell the affected employees that they were being terminated.
then:
2. Send out an email giving them information on returning their laptops.

It appears that the email (2) was sent out too early and employees inferred that they had been laid-off.

You would have more credibility if you actually understood what happened with Citizens United. The law limiting campaign contributions was largely overturned in Citizens United on constitutional grounds. So new legislation will change nothing. This leaves two possibilities:
1. Stack the Supreme Court with justices who will overturn it (like the fate of Roe vs. Wade)
2. Change the Constitution.

Neither are likely to happen for decades.
