Keep in mind that you are reading a corporate press release/propaganda piece, not journalism. It is going to be inherently one sided and will not tell the whole truth. Never take these kinds of statements at face value.

How would this work with the used market?

It’s also an insidious way to make perfectly good hardware obsolete. As Apple upgrades the OS, they slowly drop support for older hardware. This is usually justifiable, that’s just how OSs work for a variety of reasons. However it also mean

It’s super fun and cool that dentistry is controlled by a cartel and we just let it happen out in the open. It is NOT insurance, because there is no risk pooling or coverage for adverse events. It’s just a payment plan that sets prices unil

Just remember (this isn’t directed specifically at you), because apparently this needs reinforcing: public roads are not a racetrack! If you want to drive recklessly go to a track day. If you can afford a fast car and tires you can afford a

If you were emperor of Google Security what would you have them do differently?

Would you describe the entirety of the US as “densely populated”?

by callalex 3y ago
Sure, but that still makes advertising paid YouTube as “ad-free” a lie and a scam.
