You don't want to invest in stopping fraud here. The investment costs more than you'd get back, no one is making bank stealing free school lunch. We conceded this before and made life worse for millions of people.

You do want to invest in stopping corporate fraud, because the investments pay off there.

I mean, the loss of the headphone jack was a downgrade for no reason beyond profits. Big screens were a tradeoff made on purpose because customers demanded it.

6 in phones are in no danger of disappearing though.

Are you insinuating Linux (or osx for that matter) is well known for shipping well loved defaults?

Even that seems kinda half ass in this version. Like you think you'd be able to drag a window from your monitor outside the monitor. Instead, it just... Shows your monitor again.

I am not the target market for this device though. I'm not really sure who is, beyond the diehard apple people.

I do find it funny how quickly apple pr moves from the "when they do something they do it right" to "well this is first gen so we expect it has some flaws".

Isn't the Florida case in alignment with the Chicago one? The courts ruled for the transgender kid in both.

I think they probably learned this number from the iOS tracking opt in. It's not as large as people like to think. People don't like being tracked, but they'll trade it for free stuff pretty easily.

Is there some reason you can't start up a decentralized content hosting platform. Just let anyone with a spare hd and a spare pc at home join up?

Like I guess I don't really want anything illegal on my PC.... Maybe this plan is awful.

They won't. They'll just sell their private data.

As someone who tried to make a living caring about people's privacy, people don't care. The only time they pretend to is when they need to explain why they buy the new iphone pro model yearly (but they'd turn on a dime if apple said "we're building an ad platform! Look how pretty our ads are!")

64gb of ram? What's the use case for that?

You can't download and run code on iOS, which is pretty much the definition of an extension. You could ship some extensions "with" your browser, but at that point they're just a feature. iOS has adblocking addons at the system level though, doesn't it?
