And the "meritocracy" people claim this is in pursuit of more educational opportunities for American students without a molecule of irony.

Not lucky for the poor San Franciscan kids, that's for sure.

Now there's a claim that could benefit from a citation.

The First Amendment is what allows companies to regulate content and anything else that happens on their property however the hell they want.

Yeah I don't think this is something parents opt for out of curiosity or for fun.

If they aren't software, what are they?

Yeah, all kinds of options for consumer electronics that aren't made in China.

Quoting Hitler at campaign rallies undoubtedly energized the base.

One of the coolest theaters I've been to was this weird thing in Asheville, NC (go figure) where they replaced every other row of seats with tables and served pizza and beer.

I don't believe anything is dying until NetCRAFT confirms it.

I would love nothing more than a point release that addresses the OS's shortcomings for institutional device management. It is entirely too easy for device management to be broken by a bad link in the Volume Ownership > SecureToken > Bootstrap Token chain, where the only fix is a wipe/repave.

Apple has been openly hostile to institutional device management, even though K12/academia in general has historically been such a huge market for them. They simply have to get over this obsolete idea that he/she who possesses the device owns the device.

Demonstrating once again that in the big picture of security, the strongest encryption available can be thwarted by any idiot user.

The "current crisis" is manufactured and amplified externally. Nobody is doxxing Tesla owners with maps using Molotov cocktails as map cursors or burning lots full of vehicles in for service in some way that is a function of whether Musk is personally present on the factory floor vs doing something else he thinks is vital to our economic survival. All of it is ginned up hate based on the politics surrounding the pruning of vast left slush funds and debt-funded waste that has to go away. That's an entire industry with vested interests, and acting against it certainly brings out the coordinated hate, attacks on stock value, media smearing, and of course thousands of people who now say he's a nazi though they can't actually articulate why they think that.

No, him being "on the factory floor" or off it doesn't precipitate some "current crisis," except in the sense that entrenched interests currently having their oxen gored by drying up things like the NGO money laundering industry are doing their best to try to wreck the company to make a point.

Competing disinformation.

Except nobody is uprooting their factories and supply chains and pay American wages when they can just tack on 25% to their prices.
