It doesn't matter at all how out of reach it is for most people. As long as one kid in Russia can do it, the torrent is available for everyone in the world just as soon. This has already been shown with videogame DRM like Denuvo. It&#x

Microsoft doesn't sell hardware. Why would they be incentivized to make you buy new hardware? Unless you're alleging that their hardware partners pushed for it, in which case there would likely be logs of communications that are p

The feeling of upgrading to something worse has always been my gripe. I think the last time a phone upgrade was purely positive for me was the switch from flippy phones to touchscreens. I don't need whatever new gimmick they're pu

This is an interesting point and definitely an adjustment that should be made to the interpretation of the data. That would still put the estimate far below the national average (assuming an 18% deployment rate, from 4.5M to 25M).

This fails to respond to the point made in the reply you're responding to. Posting someone's location for potential stalkers is different from having their location. Posting it is consistently against Facebook's rules.

For whatever it's worth, Teslas with Autopilot enabled crash about once every 4.5M miles driven, whereas the overall rate in the US is roughly one crash every 70K miles driven. Of course, the selection effects around that stat can be d
