You’re still anthropomorphizing.

They’re not communicating, you’re just being observant.

I’d expect the greater length of the encrypted data (which should look random) vs the structured header/footer to rapidly push the Shannon entropy to the maximum

I wonder if this has to do with the massive number of google calendar invites I’ve been getting as payment/billing notifications lately.

I’ve not been reporting them because I already know they aren’t valid and do not google’s work for them

Which case decided that?

Of course you don’t, because it’s not the EULA that enforces the copyright. Copyright law is what enforces the EULA. It’s right there in the fact it’s a Licensing Agreement.

> I'm pretty sure the company you work for owns your work chat, and that what you say on company slack constitutes business information.

That’s not a valid argument. The company itself would still need to consent.

This post is a prime example of why the Pope said what he did.

Because Apple been continuously doing deprecating hardware regularly since the mid 90s. And they’ll processor architecture every 10-15 years.

Microsoft was the backward compatibility king.

Scraping for search engines is different. They need to scrape the data to build the index, otherwise the search wouldn’t work.

Why would I be, when I don’t have any standard for comparison.

How many human drivers did similar because the power went out?

Except that sometimes you can’t. I don’t know if the Unifi router checks for this, but I’ve run into more than one network where the VPN conflicted with either the captive portal or the wireless network itself (and at least one in the DFW Admiral’s club that had draconian blocking)

Kinda weird you had to bring Stripe developers up where there’s pacemaker, and insulin pump, and ventilator developers.

Not really sure this analogy works since the usability of my house and everything in it is unrelated to having them. The house keys only make getting into my house easier.

You’d need a reverse osmosis system, not just he charcoal filters like that

And the condensate water from an AC evaporator coil is not anything like distilled water, dust/bacteria are also in it.

How many of the operating systems that you listed remain as ways we use computers?

Even Macs were an entirely different codebase that didn’t even have memory protection or preemptive multitasking, which very much changed how you used it.

That’s the best part: RCS is an IP based messenger

Yeah I took a look at it: Google added the encryption extensions a full two years before the GSMA put them into the standard so it feels like their new chat app. Not to mention that it’s been around since 2007 and everyone started tailing about it when google started talking about it a couple years ago
