I'd venture to say most consumers won't know of this new limitation if previous to now they have used 3rd party repair shops. Does anyone know how much an "authorized" screen repair costs vs. an "unauthorized"

Totally agree. I am a runner and most running clubs no longer have their own website. Often events are behind a Facebook paywall and I deleted by account in 2016... Many many others niche interests have the same issue.

So if you are trying to troubleshoot something in a particular container how do you handle it? Attach a sidecar with various tools or...?

Many people (think kids, parents with toddlers, etc.) damage their screen or keyboardb or trackpad and all of those are replaceable for a fairly low price and without tons of glue, etc. I dont have the link handy but search for the framewor

Depends on the org but often new hires make close to the same salary as a manager that's been around for a few years. The difference may be in the bonus though.

Yeah. Windows 2000 was rock solid compared to 95 and 98 and became the underpinnings for future consumer releases of windows...

Just guessing deaths from commuting the average amount would dwarf that number and it never stopped them from wanting you in the office before.

Nailed it. The amount of money insurance will pay for PT is a joke. My wife is a lifelong runner and IIRC insurance would pay like $60 out of the $200+ bill. She just wants to stay active and be healthy and that PT work would pay massive di

Even better go for a (challenging) bike ride or drive up Kings Mountain and down Tunitas Creek. It's one of my favorites due to the redwoods. Big Basin Park is also one of may favorites but most of it burned last summer.

I mean if you are calling it "shacking up" that might explain why it doesn't go well. I don't think most would say men have it equally available but I'd certainly say it's more available than it was in the past

I'd assume it would have failsafe upon failsafe. E.g. in your example it would pull over at the earliest safe location while waking up the driver because the remote backup was unavailable.

It's also bananas that they ban your entire google existence. If you violate some Developer TOS then ban you in the app store not in google drive, gmail, etc. That kind of collatoral damage begs for them to be broken up IMO.

Music is awesome but it's also a commodity with more content being generated every day than we could ever consume. It's simple supply and demand.
