Why does America even pretend to have laws and government? Just publicly and officially hand control over to the corporations and be done with it

It's hardly vaporware. Things like HoloLens and Magic Leap are still proving to be useful in non-consumer use cases.
The technology behind these still have huge potential.

Well, the bug-rewarding is in response to extortion via ransomware, so it goes both ways, sadly. I'd rather pay a smaller sum to reward white hats than risk losing an operation.

You're wrong. I thought so too, but the title"breaks" is accurate. Read on

I think they’ve realized that when automation starts taking hold in a big way, they’re going to have a ton of folks with idle hands… and the royal family is not looking to repeat the French Revolution.

Oil is out. Like, long term…it’s out. It’s still what powers everything but it’s untenable. Can’t burn t-rex queefs forever, gotta move on.
Moving ground transportation to all electric…that alone covers a sizable chunk. And we’re on our way towards that already. As climate change gets more “in your face” in the next few years…attitudes towards oil are gonna take a steep turn. Like tobacco…
The saudis are buying up all the eggs and all the baskets they can afford.

Samsung doesn’t even make Apple’s chips, TSMC does.

Lmao, they never hid that they used the same SOC as the previous year. It was printed plain as day on the marketing materials. The A15 Bionic was the pro model SOC. They just stepped it down to the non-pro the next year.
No one is forcing people to buy Apple devices. Not sure why it's any different from Samsung or LG?

Agreed, when the attack vector is less obvious it gets less attention from both engineers and the public

The visuals are sick! They are not on a screen, they are injected into your eyes! Only considering the visuals, could you tell at all the images weren’t real?
Edit: I was incorrect! They use wavelength display! Thank you for the info!!

Thank you. I know well enough that it isn't listening 24/7, but I hadn't ever heard someone claim that the Google Home Mini physically cuts off access to the microphones when the switch is turned on. I'm happy to see Google built in this level of privacy to their device. Tbh, I was never really scared of smart speakers, I'm more suspicious of smart TVs that come with Alexa or Google Assistant support. Some of these TVs are already sold at a loss, and they don't have any physical shut-off switch for the microphones. And unplugging the TV is a physical chore that no one would bother doing. TVs continue to open their operating systems to third parties and some even offer access to the Play Store. And people don't usually prioritize updating their TVs to the latest software. So, that's a much bigger security hole for anyone that is concerned about being spied on than any smart speaker.

If you're blocked by the paywall, add a period after ".co.uk" in the url, so it looks like ".co.uk**.**/" and press enter. Hopefully that works for others.

They are Geekbench benchmark. Again, you have no clue what you are talking about.
Fine, you don't like Apple, I really don't give a shit.
But
- Apple processors are by far the most powerful mobile processors. That is undeniable. Can you find one tech site that says otherwise? That the A16 Chip is not the most powerful mobile chip out there? No? Didn't think so.
- Apple chips are not made by Samsung or Samsung sloppy seconds. I'm not sure where you got that piece of misinformation. Apple has been designing their own chips for ages now (which now even includes laptop chips in the Mx line, which are far better laptop chips than Intel makes).
- As far as Apps go, ya, you again are showing a complete bias, and that you have no idea what you are talking about.
- I've owned both iPhone and Android devices...
