This article seems completely unrelated to theft of devices.

Seems like the solution to the DoS concern is to just limit the site to whatever amount of RAM is currently available on the device - that's what every other browser/OS combination other than iOS seems to do without issue.

Is scale what we're discussing though?

e.g. a prompt of "fetch <article URL> and summarise it for me" is very close to what a human would be doing with a web browser, and doesn't seem to involve any kind of scaling issue.

That would apply more to things like a washing machine or microwave - things that don't become obsolete quickly.

It's well above the number of images that were in the applicable folder by default, so seems pretty appropriate to me.

That article and your memory glosses over the fact that Apple redesigned the antenna to fix the actual problem in later devices - the antenna was changed in the Verizon iPhone 4 (which came out later), as well as the iPhone 4S and all subsequent models.

GrapheneOS doesn't give you root access.

The OS is designed to offer privacy and security guarantees, which root access breaks, so they don't offer it.

There is no version of Windows 2000 for consumers.

Windows Me was the nearest consumer release (2000 came out in 1999, Me in 2000), and did share most of the same UI, but was based on Windows 98.

Windows XP was the first version of Windows to ship with the same codebase for both consumer and business.

> However I agree that in purely domestic airports I don't see how you'd prevent general public from accessing bags.

I don't understand this.

Why can't they have a door after the baggage claim that does not permit entry to the baggage claim area?

That's how things work in the UK.

In my local airport, the final part of leaving the arrivals area is the same for both international and domestic flights.

Passport control > Baggage claim (international) > Customs > One-way exit to landside

Baggage claim (domestic) > One-way exit to landside
