Yup, I use my fingerprint for my phone because it’s convenient, but require my pin (6 numbers) on boot, and my phone reboots a couple times each day (after a set time not using it). Anything more important uses a very long password.

You can verify that nothing is being sent back by watching network traffic. I guess they could hide it in update packets, but thats pretty unlikely.

The same has been true of email for years, but less bad. Activists will need to be even more careful in who they trust.

The GM situation was a more than a bailout, they took complete control of the company, took it private, liquidated some assets, then sold it off in a new IPO.

It’s not all that different from a private equity firm doing the same thing, the major difference is the legal protections the US had (e.g. it got priority over all other creditors). If the US wanted to keep it and run it, it could’ve.

It was more than something like a loan, the federal government actually a fair amount of control over the company. It ended up divesting itself once the new, restructured company made its IPO, but during the bailout, the US gov was technically in control, and it got priority over all other interests since the company went private with special financing.

It’s certainly different than other nationalized industries, but it was also much more than a regular bailout.

I have children, like their first party titles, and dislike piracy. I also have a PC handheld that gets more use than the Switch, and I like both.

Sure, he gets credit for building hype and getting investors on board. He’s a decent salesman, and probably decent at business in general.

I don’t care if he’s rich or not, he’s relatively harmless when it comes to things I care about. Trump, on the other hand, is dangerous because he seems to work off vibes and compliments, and that’s scary.

Can confirm, have used macOS on both the old Intel and new M-series chips, and Firefox with uBO works well.

Technically the auto industry in 2008.

I honestly don’t care about Elon, just get Trump out.

Same. They should have a lower tier where your first N hours of watch time have no ads. I don’t watch a ton, so that would probably convince me to pay.

Same. I use it in a dedicated Firefox container, so if I ever get a nag, I’ll clear the cores all cookies in that container and I assume that’ll reset whatever that is.

And I’m saying I can see them most of the time, and when I can’t, I don’t need to because their intention is obvious.

When am I ever looking at the side and needing to see the other side’s turn signal? The best I can think of is (using right side driving) a car turning right into my lane of travel as I’m going straight, but I’ll be a bit offset to the left and should be able to see the right headlight. If I can’t, that means the car is angled to the right, making it obvious that they’re turning.

I was thinking whatever those horse tranqs were back during COVID days.

Hmm, maybe we could make private domain? It’s like public domain, but private.

Same. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a car that can show me the signal on the opposite side of the car, but I have seen a lot of cars where I can see the indicator while stopped at an intersection and the car is perpendicular to me, since I have a little bit of angle to see the edge w/ the indicator.

99% of the time, it’s not an issue, and the other 1% of the time it doesn’t really matter if I can see the indicator (I.e. they’re already halfway turning, so they’re angled away from me).

Perfect, and since he’s in his 70s, he has all of that experience keeping promises to draw on.

Well, public domain gets you halfway there. You can still rent it later, provided the original is user-unfriendly enough that you’d be interested in alternatives.

I’ve seen newer cars turn the headlight off while the turn indicator is on, so you get a sort of double-blink effect.

I don’t see any reason why we can’t just have the whole headlight blink yellow as well with the turn indicator. LEDs are everywhere and can handle changing colors really easily, so it’s not hard to require that for all new cars.
