One thing I’ve been curious about but have never dug into deeply enough to understand is what constitutes an “address” on a cargo line. As an example, in the US, large lumberyards often sit on a rail line to receive deliveries. Often that l

Let's go with "definitely not", given the amount of other things that could be within a 7 mile radius of your location. The blog paints this as some secret lair of nefarious experiments. It actually refers to the facility as

Saw this recently. If I had to guess, this is a (heavily marked up) rebadging of a Midea or Gree [1] unit with some software around it. Nothing wrong with Midea or Gree, though they tend to be considered to be second-tier to Mitsubishi and

You're conflating things. What some people might want Apple to do is different from what Apple should be legally obligated to do. If someone doesn't like the fact that the Messages app doesn't support <X>, they should n
