We'll have to see how the Chinese made Trump phone with its overpriced nature does in the Energy department. Should be labels about possible built in malware on a manufacturers custom OS.

"He argued AI won't replace people -- but will replace those who don't embrace "

Golden rule usually is.... Anything before a 'but' is usually BS

"In order to use it, though, I have to supply Google with my personal information first"

Is their another way for a company to find your personal info on the dark web WITHOUT knowing your info to begin with?

"Seriously, what is a good equivalent alternative?"

A SmartTV with android built in, or an android box (Like the NVIDIA Shield)

You do understand storms like rain and snow can make it difficult to get to a physical store, right? Or even prevent the store from opening. Either way, you can't buy new books. The only issue is with non-downloaded books. You never (really) need to clear space on an e-reader, so the only reason the book isn't on there is because you didn't want it to be.

"Youtube adfree is like five USian dollars a calendar month"

Youtube Premium is $13.99 a month (£11.99 / CAD $11.99 ). About a 180% increase of your estimation. Try getting some facts correct first before stating opinions.

Three of those sites I would not believe a word from anymore. They are no better then Fox News with quick reporting with no investigation beforehand.

They are BBC, Aljazeera, and CNN (though always wrong to begin with)

No mention of price? They tell you how much each movie is to rent or own.

They are just adding an app found on their smart tvs to the ps4/ps5. That's it.

They do when there are laws against this. (EU and California) You are required to have consent. Otherwise, their needs to be an option to anonymity.

Umm...we learned this years ago, even before South Parks banned episode...

KYLE: You see, I learned something today. Throughout this whole ordeal, we’ve all wanted to show things that we weren’t allowed to show, but it wasn’t because of some magic goo. It was because of the magical power of threatening people with violence. That’s obviously the only true power. If there’s anything we’ve all learned, it’s that terrorizing people works.

SANTA: That’s right, friends. All you need to do is instill fear and be willing to hurt people and you can get whatever you want. The only true power is violence.

"Genocide: the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group."

Putin and his Admin have all literally said they want to wipe out all Ukrainian culture/history. Already put civilians into camps to forcibly learn Russian culture/language.

So not hyperbole. The only difference is Russia's numbers are still in the thousands, and not millions yet.

Calling people dumb for what job/interests they have is making you seem like an pc master race a-hole. Specially when you're a software engineer.

Now tell me, Can you give me a measure of measurement of Mt. St Helens? Is it 5x or 500x powerful then Pompeii?

Is there even a point to Like a video? Might as well get rid of that too. Though creators will see the count, they have to actually enable the dislike button for people to actually click. And people rather not waste time with a crappy tutorial video, or a video with misleading title/description, or videos of disinformation. Dislikes will at least give a comparison to how many people like it to those who didn't.

They aren't charging kids, its the parent responsibility. If they can't afford school lunch for their kids, or make them lunch, then something else there has to be addressed. In my area of NY, there are no free lunches. Because school taxes are already too high, and keep going up each year ($6,000/yr for me with zero kids). Free lunches will just exacerbate that. Until school boards stop giving themselves raises and cut all the free stuff sports teams get each year, I won't support shelling out even more money because parents themselves can't pay for their lunch or make lunch. Minimum wage or a little bit more makes living impossible? No. The increased taxes for owning a home makes it impossible. If you're single, you get more benefits then marriage. Same with parenthood, single parents get lots of subsidies and free healthcare, but the second you're married, you get cut off because you make 'just enough' not to need it
