Because everyone's heard that advice, but people don't tend to take action until they have evidence that they, personally, are at risk.

AAPL has a history of sitting on massive quantities of cash tbh

We can and should be the very very loud majority.

This seems like a great excuse to pull over minorities. In general pulling people over for vague "suspicious behavior" without suspicion of a specific issue is a massive violation of everyone's rights.

Not to mention, one of the most important things, the absolute best app out there for controlling insulin pumps for diabetics is an open source app you have to "sideload."

I'm shocked Bambu Lab hasn't gotten the same treatment.

The thing is "smart tvs" are actually cheaper than dumb tvs would be, specifically because they can make money on the advertising.

Anyway, google TVs (like my TCL tv) let you use them in dumb mode, which is what I do. I just have it wired to my Apple TV 4k (the least bad of the smart tv boxes that support HDCP) and thats good enough for me.

If a physical copy can be, then a digital copy should also be.

If we never passed normal somewhat mundane legislation in "unprecedented times," we wouldn't have passed anything new since September 2001.
