Except that letting apps randomly pull from the clipboard, where you might have copied passwords, bank account numbers, or any other sensitive information, is such an obviously unsafe idea that the person who suggested it should have been i

I know, right? It's not super hard to imagine a parallel universe where any software can copy to the clipboard but only the OS, upon user request, can paste back out of it. And yet here we are wallowing in filth. Why, because people ha

My beef is with the person who installs a spy camera in my shower, not with the person who didn't expect someone to install a spy camera in my shower. Only one of those people actually installed a spy camera in my shower.

So they _intentionally_ set themselves up to lie to regulatory agencies and consumers about real world efficiency. That honestly sounds basically the same to me. In both cases the tests are poor approximations, and in both cases someone cou
