   I wish more comments were like this. Misjudging the iPhone etc probably just comes down to a lack of information about broader needs. Its not always a bad take. I think Apple can provide an emphasis on modularity for the car manufacturers.

    Let's say a hardware exploit for iPhones becomes obvious and is spread through social media. Something absurd like "attaching a shorted iphone cable". Are you going to be the first to buy an add-on lock or immobilizer? And ev

    Did you buy this property because you knew of the police neighbor? Is it just well known for the kids as well? It's just a strange signifier to me. Does a real estate agent mention this? Do they know they play this role? Are they compe
