If the herd can't resume regular herd behavior without risking widespread infection, does it have immunity at all?

Redirecting user payment info is totally a data/privacy breach.

Depends. Does the sale require me to submit payment details to a not-already-trusted platform? The change remotely triggered by Epic redirects users to a third-party (Epic) payment system, but what if it were, say, a malicious Epic insider?

Apple is a hardware company that wants to ensure the best possible UX for their customers, and does so by vetting the software that gets installed on their hardware products. What's Microsoft's parallel motivation in your analog

Sorry, I meant the traditional definition of "conservative" with regard to media, which is to say ensuring that only unbiased facts are reported as best as possible.

Yeah, you need to stop spreading misinformation. This doesn't look like a "99.9% asymptomatic" virus: https://www.ft.com/content/a2901ce8-5eb7-4633-b89c-cbdf5b386... And that's one of the MOST conse

This is exactly what I did with rlhitboxes.com. I'm still the most-up-to-date source for the info, even though Epic née Psyonix put up a page with the same info after I launched. They haven't kept it updated as they release new ca

You're right. The bars should be closed, too. We should be spending the entire defense budget on paying for people to stay home, stay safe, and to get them what they need; as well as funding as much scientific research as feasible to f

Microsoft didn't make the computer, and has no incentive to ensure a high quality UX. Apple cares about their hardware customers and fosters a well-earned trust. The AppStore rules are a huge part of the foundation of that trust.

Why would John Q. Public trust a third party over the manufacturer of their device ?

If being told to have some respect for others is insulting to you, then we're at an impasse.

The difference is that you're not the creator of Up . This isn't an arbitrary ex post facto ret-con. This is someone finally feeling comfortable enough with who they were to tell the actual meaning behind their creation. Jaded,

You should look up what "allegory" means.

Don't forget the folks in the 40's taking those old trucks and turning them into hot-rods. The car modification scene is only slightly younger than the car.

Who's the target audience of this thread: the readers/applicants or the posting companies? If it's the former, caveat applicant warnings should absolutely be on-topic. If it's the latter, I can see why you cater to the

Not when those countries' leaderships are under the sway of large groups of professional middle-men, who seem to only leech value and litigate, while playing favorites and holding hostage work produced by others with no substantive con

Interestingly, if you consider any physical thing, in none of those scenarios does the manufacturer of the thing that was lent or not lent—with or without permission—have any say-so with regard to the lending of that thing.

I'd argue that if 10% of your paying customers are refunding your product, you have a product problem.

But... EFF also picked this battle. Honestly, you may be able to split it between them and ultimately do more good than the sum of the halves.

I believe that answer hinges on whether "cut proof" is the same as "puncture-proof".

Using a headset with a physical mute switch on the mic could solve that problem.

How about when you [alt/cmd]-tab to it, it shows you a blinking cursor in an input field, but no matter what key you hit, you can't type in that field without clicking on it? Infuriating.

The only way to physically get electricity to the camera unit, to be able to get any data from it is to pass that electricity through the indicator LED. Multiple teardowns have confirmed that it's a hardware path that software cannot
