Pretty much. Try getting a job without online access, or applying for state and federal benefits. Or getting a doctor through your insurance plan.

Gosar is such a tool.

You know it’s bad when his own family said “Yeah, don’t vote for this guy.”

Pointless survey since we don’t have national elections.

We won’t have a real understanding until we can count Trump primary votes and compare that to the state by state results in the 2016 primary and general.

Then it’s matter of following state by state polling until election day.

“Additionally, Mr Biden’s age remains a problem for many who believe at 80 years old, he is too old to run again.”

Trump will be the same age Biden is now in 2026.

I could see a purpose for it:

“This is ‘propaganda’ kids. It’s designed to teach you things that aren’t true. Here’s how to learn it isn’t true, and here’s how to learn who is behind it and why they want you to be taught things that aren’t true.”

I don’t get the surprise… Apple has ALWAYS been like this. They don’t want “normies” screwing around with “their” gear.

Heck, you needed a case cracker tool to open the OG Macintosh machines, they were specifically engineered to keep people out.

My work software kept seeing weird bugs in Chrome, so I switched permanently.

If you’re doing this in a business environment, I wouldn’t fool around with a home rolled option and would just go straight with a Websense subscription:

People won’t pay for something that used to be free… OTOH, neither will bot farms.

Either case will end Twitter, so I say go for it!

It’s not just the conservative media that’s the problem. Even CNN in 2016 would run breathless live coverage from a location where a Trump event was scheduled for hours later, or had happened hours previously.

Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders filled a basketball arena in Portland with thousands of people crowded around outside. CNN? Silence.

I joked that Trump couldn’t pass gas without live CNN talking heads discussing if it were more “fruity” or “nutty”, but really that’s only half kidding.

The media has already decided that they want Trump/Biden again.

Possible to take the hardware, wipe it, install Linux and not worry about expiration?

It’s actually VERY well regarded. You just have never watched it.

No, I’ve just seen the movie probably a dozen times since it came out, it’s a joy each and every time.

Oscar is one of the funniest movies ever made.

Oscar.

A car.

Freedom of mobility is huge. Not worrying about how to get groceries home. Being able to go to a doctor when necessary.

Recreational aspects, took a drive through Washington State, up the Olympic Penninsula and down through Seattle and Everett.

Because Microsoft has no more business managing Epson applications than Epson does, I dunno, Kensington or Belkin.

Not sure how they could reduce it, right now it’s 3 taps. Center icon at the bottom of the screen -> Accounts -> Account to switch to.

I guess maybe if they had the accounts listed at the top under a drop down or something? Would still be 2 taps, one on the menu, one for the account you want.

Because Microsoft manages Windows update, it’s not like a package manager in Linux.

I don’t want Microsoft telling me when I should update an Epson printer driver.

“via Windows Update” - key piece of info missing from the headline “for some reason”.

Yeah, I don’t see a need for Windows update to do any 3rd party stuff.
