other companies arent engineering serial numbers and other identity information into every component, even shit as small as halleffect sensors, so it cant be taken from a damaged device to repair a differnt device of the same make and model.

To act like what apple does is an industry standard is nothing but blatant apple fanboy propaganda.

You and I both know that Apple doesnt do this shit for cost efficiency.

They do it to make make shit worse for consumers and “unauthorized” repair services.

Will Tesla autodrive have a sudden surge of crashing into Synagogues and jewish pedestrians now?

it never ceases to amaze me the amount of time, energy and money apple spends engineering things to be worse for customers.

That sounds super useful for simulator games.

whole new buttons or just remap face button functions?

Its all repression and projection.

They accuse everyone of being pedophiles, because they are pedophiles. (Which makes you wonder where their child rape dungeon they actually have is located, considering how obsessed they were with the idea in “pizzagate”)

They spew vicious hate on gays, cause an overwhelming chunk of them are gay and hate the fact that others can live free and open while they “have” to live suppressed, repressed and in the closet to keep their ideology… Doesnt stop them from soliciting bathroom BJ’s, Frequenting RentBoys, and watching tons of Gay porn though…

Right wing religious conservatives being pedophiles?

How fathomably believable.

Pointless.

You’d need 500 signed affidavits to be taken seriously. Anyone can just forge a signature. Affidavits are signed under oath, under penalty of law.

A lawyer would be if you were harmed

A lawyer can also help guide you through the legal and procedural issues. Lawyers are not for just if you are harmed.

It would probably also help you a bit more with legitimacy, if you can get a known lawyer helping you… Cause any crank can make a claim, but a known lawyer wont risk their reputation/license/job on happenstance with little evidence.

Yes yes, but think of the shareholder profits. Thats what really matters here, not these childish fantasies about the horrible nature of frakking and the fact that it makes water flammable! /s

These fines worked in 1957.

They don’t work today.

Its not an overreach to increase fines to a relative point commiserate with current earnings, so that they can actually harm a company and by doing so discourage future illicit behavior.

To try and claim otherwise is some corpo rat bullshit.

These fines come on the heels of willful behavior, that they believe they can make money off of even accounting for the fines… Which turns the fine into nothing more than a tax. With higher fines, that can destroy their profits and damage their company, they won’t be so eager to pencil evil into the expense line.

Google made 100 billion last year.

300 million is barely a blip.

The fine should have been 30 billion.

if the fines arent big enough to seriously hurt a company, Then the fines are not big enough to change their behavior.

They just become a tax on evil.

Don’t owrry, he’ll file a spurious lawsuit against them soon, which they will immediately settle, in a totally-not-legalized-bribe means of smoothing over the upset.

I know all about Notch being a massive piece of shit, and am 100% in favor of him sitting alone in his big mansion, festering in his own filth.

legalized bribery. he files bullshit lawsuits demanding payola and they cave no matter how great their chance if winning is… cause its not about lawsuits its about bribes

is this why microsoft made it so they can ban people for what they say in a privately hosted server?

No thanks, I prefer cash. Credit cards and debit cards can be disabled at a whim. Prone to being fucked up by computer error, don’t work when the internet is down, or during a disaster with no power.

Cash always goes through, though. Cash will always remain king.

ATM networks are typically for withdrawing money without a fee.

I dont think I’ve ever seen one that lets you deposit your cash at, for example, a gas station atm or anything… Feels like there’d be way too many liabilities… but who knows, maybe there is one that lets you.

Online banks have one major drawback, and that is the difficulty they typically have with getting cash into them.

Checks/Transfers/Etc? no problem.

But getting cash into it is a big PITA.
