Please don't generalise. My partner still uses IPhone 7 today, and they are certainly interested in saving a few bucks. There are countries poorer than the US and not every Apple user is rich.

Why would apple leave the EU? It's a huge market, and I don't think there is a risk of their profit in the EU going negative because of some relatively small concessions. They can keep existing rules for the rest of the world and

It looks like they asked (a large number of) participants what they eat, and checked a correlation between their health and how closely they follow their Planetary Health Diet[1]. First, I don't see any attempt to control for the fact

Everything in this post applies to C too, so it's not C++ specific. And the same gotchas apply for every case when you use inline assembly. I wouldn't call it a trick... Just an interesting workaround for a performance bug in Clan

Also depending on the cryptosystem, nonce requirements vary wildly. For example using 1, 2, 3, 4... as a nonce for CTR is a recipe for disaster, but it's fine for many asymmetric ciphers.

Yes, but your response doesn't make sense in context. GP specifically said that there are a lot of uses "for an iCloud locked iPhone", parent debunked it.
