how is it that an ultrabook is not "possible" unless it has a battery that cannot be easily removed?

> How does it do that? If I remove my laptop battery, I know no one can tap into my hardware covertly. E.g. turn on the microphone, enable bluetooth hardware to see who I'm near, enable 3G/4G hardware to track which cell towers

Why not just get rid of built-in batteries entirely? Not only does it lead to unethical business practices (linking battery life to hardware performance), but it facilitates a privacy nightmare.

I wonder if this guy is able to get insurance on the planes. I'd imagine that if a single plane was destroyed he'd be out millions of dollars.

Russell's teapot a great reference here but I think sometimes it's a human fallacy of logic, or technically an "Argument from ignorance"[1]. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. In this context, the "abse

A few possible reasons: 1.) The gov has shown they aren't willing to let the market tank. 2.) Many businesses are actually thriving right now via online orders. This means every part of their associated supply chains are thriving as we

I have no idea, do you know if those folks haven't shown symptoms of 5g poisoning? Probably something worthy of looking into since many people have concerns about 5g.

What does this comment even mean? In my comment, I was putting it bluntly what he/she was basically saying. I agree it sounds harsh, but that was my point. My point is that it's not acceptable or productive for a society to suppre

Shouldn't France be pissed off at China for re-selling the already sold masks? The US probably wasn't even told the masks in question were already sold. The countries should coordinate who needs masks sooner, and work out the logi

No I'm implying that China probably already has a backdoor built into this system and could strategically use it to further their Taiwan -control agenda.

These are mostly bulky items, it would be an inventory-storage nightmare. Let the d-bags who bought a years supply of toilet paper deal with that themselves.

And it makes you wonder how exactly healthcare $$$ is flowing through the supply chain. It obviously isn't tied up in equipment inventory or logistics management. Time to shake the healthcare-costs tree and see what falls out!
