I JUST saw another article that said his approval ratings were fairly steady and line up with about what they were the first time around.

Statistics and numbers can be made to say damn near anythin.

The judge’s order prevents federal agents from arresting peaceful protesters.

I want whatever the judge is smoking if they think this will stop them.

Well there were a lot of Maga types in Nazi Germany that were against billionaires then.

Because politicians like John Fetterman exist and people are paranoid that Mamdani will turn out like him. In other words now that he is in pull the ladder up behind him.

All of the bad parts of esim are the fault of the carriers in my experience. I'm on a MVNO that created their own method of generating a new esim and moving the number via their website and app and it is painless for the most part.

They only let you do it 4 times a billing cycle though without talking to customer service. Which I suspect is the fault of the upstream carrier somehow.

I bet they don't even keep the stats anymore for Keith Richards.

Having more money than you could spend in your lifetime buys you options not available to most people, news at 11.

There are little pockets of such things with everything I find. The "init wars" of systemd vs init/initd, Wayland vs xorg, Android vs iOS, Linux vs Windows/macOS, Xbox vs Playstation, Nintendo vs Sega, Vinyl vs everything not vinyl, RCS vs iMessage more recently to name a few.

I'm pretty sure most offensively rich people in this country, and possibly other countries, were much closer to Epstein than we initially realized at this point.

It is worth highlighting that this sort of thing is not just an Apple issue. It happens frequently to peoples Google accounts, and probably Microsoft accounts, as well.

The only sane advice to anyone is always have another copy of the data. Preferably locally, but in another cloud provider at least.

If it only exists in one place you might as well be using the recycling bin to store you important data.

Plex has been off limits to me for along time. Just the fact they want to require auth with their central service for something I use for reasons rights holders would love to sue me into third world poverty over (muh Linux ISOs) is enough reason.

Them demanding that auth hook into the server makes me uneasy about what sort of metatdata they are currently, or could exfiltrate later on, should they want to or be demanded to.

Whole thing stinks of willingly being part of a honeypot.

Until someone starts to hold them to account then it is just a suggestion.

 

Sad to read, but not at all surprising. I remember how much damage control Kevin was doing back when the sale to Branch happened.

I hope he has learned something about trusting the word and contracts from entities like Branch from the whole thing.

 

I wonder if there is something subpar about whoever Google is getting the batteries from for the A series phones.

 

If its not more blatant ways to display ads or AI Google isn't working on anything it would seem.

 

As if those AI overviews weren't already useless enough.

 

It feels dirty to agree with an ISP on something. But even the worst corporations are on the right side of something from time to time I suppose.
