It's amazing we're in a timeline were people let stuff like this happen, against any sane logic.

Great incentive to get around to finally jailbreak them, it's actually really easy.

There is a certain leap between "civilian casualties are unavoidable" and "a civilization Is going to be destroyed and sent back to the stone age through war crimes"

>Consider, for example, Bill Clinton’s decision to expand NATO, a decision that paved the path to the Ukraine War. Pretty much every expert on the Soviet Union opposed this move, some of them vehemently

Bullshit. While many experts opposed the move, many were in favor of it too. And nonchalantly deciding it paved the way to Putin's senseless attack on Ukraine is a dumb Russian talking point

That's an uncommon experience.

Tesla is a very strong leader for faults, breakage, and costly maintenance/repairs in the 3-5 year old segment.

See any European comprehensive car inspection statistics report.

Memecoins? More like bribe/money laundering special vehicles

Well, many jurisdictions copied or were pressured to adopt DMCA-like language, especially via trade agreements.

Modern, expansive, DMCA-style anticircumvention regime that now dominates global law can be said to originate from the US.

Since it's inception, Palantir has extracted roughly 10 billion usd taxpayer money from the US government. God bless America.

> 1) I have mine set to notify me when it's done cleaning. Sometimes it will do it immediately after it's done, while other times the notification might come two or three hours after the fact. Still other times, not at all.

Check your mobile's app settings/battery optimisation? Sounds like the app doesn't keep running properly in the background

I certainly wouldn't blame anyone for throwing a sandwich at you, and wouldn't argue with someone who would think it justified.

Delusional take. Look at sales and/or inventory trends over the past year. The demand is clearly crashing, and for many good reasons

Seriously, these people exist? Apple's core brand foundation is built on anti-consumer principles through and through

And you're thinking this ability to bypass scrutiny must lead to problems.

Correct. When liabilities grow too big, the company will spin off the liabilities to a shell company without means to pay for damages caused. (this is called a "Texas two-step" bankruptcy)

Short answer: FDA is totally toothless these days after decades of industry lobbying and Republican budget cuts. The industry has decided how they want things to work.
