Yeah nominative use explicitly covers this. >"In other words, individuals are not compelled by trademark law to use "absurd turns of phrase" simply to avoid trademark liability." https://en.m.wikipedia.org&

The proper response would be a suit to enforce a trademark, not an explosion of articles, interviews, shutdown of network access and demands for money paid to a private company in order to prevent the explosion.

What are the issues? Nothing publicly articulated so far appears to have breached any licensing terms or trademark law. If there are issues then Matt would do well to clearly articulate the problem.

Fair enough on wordpress.com. It still doesn't strike me as plausible that any reasonable person in a purchasing decision thinks WPengine is wordpress itself. I certainly haven't seen any such confusion online.

For there to be a violation there has to be a reasonable prospect of consumer confusion by the consumers in the target market. The page is labelled "Choose your WordPress Hosting plan" Someone who is in the market for Wordpress ho

Could you please explain in which way trademarks were violated? Nominative use is explicitly allowed according to long established caselaw. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominative_use

Youtube Music is included with premium and is comparable to spotify/apple. It's a bundle. So another way of looking at it is: "If I pay Youtube instead of spotify/apple then I also get no ads if I pay just a bit more&quo

This feels like a private which has reached the public shorn of the context that would be necessary to understand it. I use Wpengine and have enjoyed it. They have some aggressive upsells and you learn you can ignore them. Actually had no i

Have you tried the Shortcuts app? On phone and mac. Should be able to make one that finds and moves a voice memo when run. You can run them on button press or via automation. Also what kind of local machine do you need? I have an imac pro,

I write imprecisely but I wad actually referring to assessing how you are at specific things. How you feel you are at specifics bleeds somehow into a general sense of self esteem. I definitely agree on not tying your sense of self worth to

One way of looking at it is how you assess yourself in things and take pride in or feel regret about that. For example, you wrote this comment. It is a well written comment. You likely have some belief roughly along the lines of "I wri

Very good article. Not clear to me why Google has let parasite SEO become so successful. Possibly they are starved of human generated content kept to a certain quality level. But it's very strange to see sites leveraging a legacy brand

Thanks, I should have specified that! I'll note that anyone running an out of date MacOS should use Chrome or Firefox. Safari gets its updates via OS updates, whereas third party browsers have their own update cycle.

I dug into this. Apple's incentives aside, the bulk of intel's chips in macs are no longer supported by Intel or soon won't be. The more time passes the harder it is to keep those machines secure. This is the best article I f

No, the DMA very likely bans it. The EU won't say in advance and has been loudly threatening fines of 10% of global revenue. DMA forbids using your platform's data or position to support a service without giving third parties equa

You'd need to pay based on traffic too not just video total. And have a system in place to add payment if your videos became hits. Would really curtail amateur uploads. Conceivably an option for professionals with business models but h

What did you do to resolve the problem?

That's likely not the real rationale. If people browse with Chrome, then google is the default . That is immensely valuable to google, as google's payments to apple, mozilla and android manufacturer's show. In theory Chrome

This simply does not appear to be happening. China would have to pay Meta and Google a LOT of money to get the same kind of info it gets from TikTok directly. And Meta and Google would report those payments in some way. Could you expand on

What do people with smaller companies do to test with real cards? The terms of credit cards usually disallow using your own card to make a purchase from yourself.

Why exactly should security vendors have the ability to crash the operating system?

That's actually the core of the issue. Windows gives users the capacity to run programs with Kernel access. The affected companies gave Crowdstrike kernel access. Crowdstrike crashed in Kernel, taking out the machines. This kind of iss

Precisely. For Macs Apple made a Pro Workflows team that looked at a bunch of specific tasks done by photographers, videographers, programmers etc and worked to make macs, ipad and iphones better for those specific things. They need a team

I want to use Apple Maps. In a few areas I find they beat google. Airport Maps, Transit. But Google has deep integrations with a lot of things that just make it nice to use. For example, Apple Maps has bike directions. Google maps has bike
