Sure, but is that adequate? Not having people practice their passwords seems to be an anti-pattern for selling premium support in password managers, while many other apps ask with planned frequency.

Toilet phone extensions were a thing, the classiest ones were brown.

Russia has been doing the rounds looking for allies, some way to cause a shake up, etc. In a parallel universe, what were the odds that countries like Iran and NK showed higher than normal competency this year?

Makes it clearer that this is a proxy war of Russia via Iran. I'm not sure Russia or Hamas have thought this through since they both just threw out a lot of relationships for something on the bottom of the other shoe.

The channels to scan vary with country based on government regulation of frequencies. Normally, a full list of rules is accumulated for each implementation so it could be used globally.

A possibility is that Google thinks they will avoid pointless legal risk by not having support at all for countries they "don't need" or to prevent unauthorized exporters. This would be quite silly because travelers expect to roam with their devices.

Another possibility is that people are using other imported hardware that is not configured to the current country and selecting channels not actually allowed in the country. This is usually only 1 channel in a dozen so seemingly unlikely, though congestion algorithms prefer a channel that no one else is using..

The article states these other companies played a role in faulty pH measurement, leading to less dilution with actual real water.

I don't remember the beginning premise of Shaun of the Dead, but rabid positive thinkers reentering society sounds about right.

So force them to rename. The article acts as slander against long term Chinese companies that haven't renamed themselves and probably do as much or as little as the fake Western Brands to secure boot.

How is this different than saying every investment is a subsidy? China's future domestic spending capability is obviously expanding as it invests in industrial capability.

Thanks to compounding, if they have consistently spent half as much as "they should" elsewhere for decades, there is some moment where they will reach more absolute domestic spending without ever raising that rate to where it "should" be.

It seems kind of crazy to me that they've jumped so quickly to full skin layers.

From examples where people heal without scarring like in minor wounds, it always seemed to me like a goo of accepted but useless cells frequently replaced would be sufficient to confuse where scar tissue should form while gradual healing from adjacent skin eventually occurred.

To me that's just a marketing induced cognitive blind spot. You don't have to know what $200 phone you buy in 4 years, but you want to harp on one 90% imaginary one you will hate when there's almost no chance a choice made 4 years in advance is better than all possible choices with actual information. If for example, mediatek continues to widen their gap then Samsung will choose another one that can match the last generation in Moore's law.

A refurbished iPhone SE 2023 that has a new battery and working screen is probabilistically worth more than the iPhone 2023 you buy today, and will be less than $200 unless there's a serious shortage because they have a high failure rate?

In my thinking the cost of similar products in an industry like tech is the best available estimate of how much environmental damage is involved (I.e. upgrading tooling is itself likely to produce waste) so planning to buy a $400 phone once every 7 years and actually buying one every 2 is much worse than trying to get 3-4 years out of what people have tried to make with popular runs of somewhat outdated commodity parts.

The A14 equivalent in 4 years is going to be faster than the current iPhone SE, not broken, and IMO more likely to survive the 3 years.

Buying something like the Samsung A14 every 4 years would cost about the same and seems a lot more realistic than aspirational.

I think its great that phones are being supported for 7 years but in a way it is a marketing chip based on consumer's using unrealistic linear depreciation.

Some consumers can pass down, repurpose, or only need very basic things, but most consumers need much of the relative performance they first bought, break screens, can't handle embedded battery replacement logistics, etc, so most probably have replaced something like the iPhone SE before 4 years is up and are paying more than they would have expected.

From reading the next sentences, I doubt the officer did anything beyond adjust the direction to keep it more stationary by the oppositional force of their vehicle.

Given adequate highways, rotaries and traffic going faster, one can drive indefinitely without breaking, so while there's always a question of whether a notable incident is a stunt of some sort by someone who actually knew how to stop, etc, I don't see anything unlikely about the outcome.

I think it might just get more complicated because without government's monopoly, and as shown in places where that wanes, anyone can decide people making money this way or that way are a problem they want to fix..
