Whether you can turn them off depends on your operating system. Most of them allow you to turn them off. What are you using? And if it really bothers you, why don't you switch?

Do they not provide fastboot images for the Pixel devices? I know I could just flash those images on a Nexus 5X.

Wouldn't the criminal in this case be able to intercept the letter with the PIN also and replace it with a letter that looks the same but has the wrong PIN? The receiver would not be able to find out the PIN is wrong because the cards chip does not work at all.

There is no way to determine what 95% of the community want for the future of Bitcoin. There is no community voting in Bitcoin. Only miner signalling. People can stop using Bitcoin after a change but there is no way to get their opinion in advance.

The Bitcoin network cannot know or should it care about a fiat exchange rate. Which currency should it look at? Dollar? Euro? Why? If the block frequency of ten minutes is not met, the difficulty is automatically adjusted after 2016 blocks (ca. 2 weeks) up or down.

As as developer I am totally happy that it increases my productivity. You know, you don't have to use it? It is not shoved down your throat. It is a supported offer.

That is a total nightmare. How are employers allowed to give that kind of information to Equifax? I do not get why Americans allow this.

From the comments: "This VW was loaded with 1 ton of concrete - then driven into a barrier at 100Km/h. It was a crash barrier test..."

The problem is that this information can be used for identity fraud. You should really find a solution for that problem.
