Nope, but I didn’t have whole countries and millions of bad actors actively trying to steal information and act maliciously on that device either.

What possible motivation would Google or Apple have to appease such a small percentage of their user base? I’m “tech savvy” and I would never click that box. Frankly I can’t think of something more risky than installing some random piece of

The Global Health Security and Biodefense Directorate inside the NSC was disbanded 18 months before Covid emerged. It was established by the Obama administration as a response to the Ebola outbreak. What’s your point exactly? I know peopl

I write all of this as a fully vaccinated person who never voted for Trump… You really need to look at the timeline here. Operation Warp Speed was a Trump program that fast tracked the Covid vaccine development and their “emergency use” app

Well…there is more 5G in my area, but it’s still voting consistently red. Although, there is a lovely gay couple new to my neighborhood.

Here is the thing that concerns me…at least philosophically. This won’t affect me personally (at least adversely) since I am at the end of my career. If this works—even remotely—this will devastate upcoming entry level software engineering

But they occur… And it only takes one or two breakout products to create a buzz around a platform or method in our world nowadays.

Seems to me that it’s not all that “clever” to reinforce the decision to provide an awful candidate from one of the two “winnable” political parties hoping that people will still hold their nose and vote for the lesser of two evils…whicheve

Sure, I’d probably go the extra step of sorting out any applicant who advertised their MENSA membership…but that’s just me finding those folks pretty insufferable. But back to the point it’s really more about if the tool for the job can’t d

Unfortunately this assumes a reasonable alternative existed. A lot people felt that one didn’t which is one of the reasons why every time Trump ran he received more votes than the time before. I didn’t vote for Trump, ever. However, I cou

On the iPad and iOS front, I feel like the real driver of support for multiuser is families. I just can’t see it being a big desirable ask beyond families with kids because the devices form factors. If I am Apple, I am wondering if that

Thanks for the info—it’s interesting. I am glad you have a working system for you. At face value it would be difficult for me. I am probably the exact opposite—-I rarely go beyond two browser instances and if I get beyond 4-5 tabs in the

You seem here and in another comment to be kind evasive around the spirit of the question…which I think is more “how does this work for you?” You choose to do it so I assume it works for you. What benefit does this give you over the more t

Is there some specific reason why you are doing this? What possible benefit could this have beyond some weird bragging rights?
