...Apple users will have to go out & buy new cables. Fingers crossed?

It would seem that many corporations security practices are so poor that ransomware gangs are making hay while the sun shines. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. How much of an impact do you think corporate accountability for their security would have? I mean, they have to appoint an executive data security officer who is responsible & liable if an inspection shows poor data security practices. Just like we have regular fire safety & health & safety inspections, why not data security if it's that important? Or do we just keep leaving the doors open & paying the ransoms?

Because corporations have never kept secrets, told lies or committed criminal actions in order to make more or save money, right?

Re: " a simple cup of coffee/milk/sugar" - Presumably, you mean that abomination that Americans call "drip" coffee.

And meetings in a café? Who the fuck goes to a café to have meetings? It's where you go to hang out with your family, friends, colleagues, & members of your community to talk, socialise, relax, spend quality time with each other & watch the world go by. It's no wonder America has a mental health crisis.

Who? Who?

I'm all for anything that keeps tech running & useful for as long as possible. Our current rate of digging stuff up out of the ground & turning it into pollution is insane. We need to slow it down dramatically.

OS no longer supports hardware = broken.

...bottled gas? Isn't that how most Americans cook their meat? Hydrogen or propane/butane, it's all made from fossil fuels.

It's time to coin a new phrase then. How about "fly-over tech hub"?

Well, TFS did say that Ohio's tech hub has already "peaked" so according to them it's apparently all downhill from here. Or did they really want to say it's surged? Soared? Increased exponentially? Journalists really should know what the words they use mean.

We have this amazingly sensitive & powerful sensing equipment that's been through billions of years of development. It's called a nose & it can tell you when milk is no longer pleasant to drink. Almost everyone has one. If yours doesn't work so well for any reason, ask someone to sniff your milk for you.

Tim Horton's makes Starbucks seem good by comparison. Starbucks make mediocre coffee & overcharge horribly for it. I guess north Americans just don't care about the quality of their coffee.

Haven't you seen that South Park episode, where the Canadians had already built a wall?

We've known about how printers are designed to make our lives as difficult as possible for some time now. Sounds like they're simply continuing in that tradition. I haven't owned a printer for nearly 2 decades & I feel good.
