You're not wrong, you're just in the wrong place. Apple is the sysadmin and the phone holders are the users. They WANT apple looking out for them. Anyone who says otherwise stupidly wasted $1000 when they could have bought any num

You just put up a line of straw men. Tesla disabling cars -- tell us how you feel about that! using illegal drugs -- Wow, I'd love to hear your thoughts. not defending facebook -- Are ya? behavior from Apple is truly scary -- Elaborate

Apple has a phone number you can call and talk to someone who can actually fix your problems. Google does not. Wife's appleid got broken into last year and some stuff was purchased with funds in the account. One call, and we got our mo

Worked pretty swell for intel when netburst got out of hand and they backtracked. 10 years of market dominance followed.

That's all very old and simple tech. The quality is only limited by the bean counters keeping costs down.

How can you possibly say we have a high standard of living when it has been in freefall since WW2? No one can WORK HONESTLY and afford a family and retirement anymore. You have to play dirty corporate ladder climbing games or go far into de

But then you'd have to boycott some of the most loved US brands in history! Surely you wouldn't want to harm THEM? Just because they gave china so much money to become a world power doesn't make THEM part of the problem, righ

I have a rack full of machines like this. Dual sockets with 8GB ram each. Any affordable upgrade would be a downgrade. I'm looking at at least $200 per U to upgrade from hardware that is essentially worthless. I literally got the CPUs

That's because the above would be highly wasteful on a slow serial link, like the ones gcode was made on and for. That said, I bet vim syntax highlighting could get you most of what you want. Color code movement, configuration, values,

If an axe could detect your thumb was in the way, it would no longer be useful. There's a balance. Sometimes it really is up to the operator to maintain safety. Sometimes the machine can handle it. IMHO, other than reliably finding zer

Why is voip basically free for mass abuse, but expensive for individuals and legitimate organizations? I would love a few dozen phone numbers, but I don't see any free options other than google voice.

that's pretty close to what I want in a FOSS app. So how could a normal person create that without purchasing a second phone line, or giving up control of their existing line? Answering my own question... https://stackoverfl

Those contacts are used to dial the special number to enable or disable forwarding all calls directly to voicemail.

I'd like a way to prompt callers to confirm it's a human before ringing my phone. "Please press one to continue your call or wait to be directed to voicemail". I do not want to give google control of my phone number thou

Maybe you should use openbsd instead of debian if that is your primary concern.

Common theme: Preventing future crime. I think that is wrong. Personally. People should be judged for their past, not their future.

"I didn't do anything! I just XYZ" I think they just want to disclaim responsibility so you'll be the one to blame. Mechanics deal with that a lot too.

I should probably hang out with my angry chainsmoking bit-twiddling mentor more while he's still around. Telling people who "can" that they "should" is something where delivery makes all the difference. Those greybe
