Yeah, that half would be perfectly fine with throwing them in a deep pit and forgetting they exist.

Except this one isn't even a Boeing issue - this is a plane Delta has operated since 1992. This is entirely Delta's maintenance's fault. Boeing will still get blamed for it, of course.

Yeah, people shouldn't look to their government to protect them from this. Hell, I'd be willing to bet no small amount of taxes go to purchasing the leaked info at places like the CIA, NSA, and FBI.

Apple is run by some absolute morons who were happy to try and steal the tech

Xerox PARC intensifies

If you look at almost everything "iconic" that Apple has ever done they have "borrowed" or outright stolen from others. This is entirely on brand for Apple. They just ran up against someone who was willing to push back.

Fines need to stop being set amounts and start being percentages of revenue. We live in a world with companies that can make almost nothing and others that make more money than God does. This requires a more flexible solution. It'd also incentivize the government agencies to go after companies, especially big ones.

Meanwhile their algorithm identified a post of mine about chicken breeds and another that leaned leftist as spam and silenced me for a day.

Yes, you are. If you have to ask, you are.

Threads is still a thing? I thought it was heading down the G+ road - lots of fanfare at the beginning but quickly dropping off to irrelevance?

Wouldn't be that hard to do on ICE vehicles. Just need a heating element added somewhere that heats the antifreeze to 100ish F. Then a remote to activate the blower motor.

Also depends on the environment. Down here in central Texas you can't expect the el cheapo batteries to last more than 2 or so years because the summer heat is brutal on them.

I was going to suggest refurb, too, but looking around their site there is no longer a page for refurbs. A little googling and it appears since Breville bought them in 2020 they've gone downhill some.
