@WarnerCrocker One legal problem for homeowners is a Supreme Court ruling from around 100 years ago. It involved someone selling the mining rights to their properly to a coal mining company and then the company destroying their house to access the coal. The SCOTUS ruled that the mining company had the right to destroy the house to get to the coal. I last read about this in the 80s but I think this makes legal recourse harder for the homeowners.

@WarnerCrocker Plus if it is the OS then what prevents someone from remotely turning it on. I am sure there are protections against that but I will always put my money on the hacker. Best protection is for it to not exist.

@WarnerCrocker I am concerned that MS might change its mind again at any time. Perhaps a year from now.

@StillIRise1963 Reminds me of Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin from 1961. Griffin describes how he took skin darkening medication and that many friends did not recognize him.
Ray Sprigle did this a decade earlier.
While Wikipedia said he received very few hoslite letters, the hostility from White people made him relocate from Texas to Mexico. He was assulted by white men in 1964.
I don't think we need a remake in 2024. It is better to support Black voices.

@StillIRise1963
It shows a continuing weakness of the main stream publishing world, that is it easier for white person to be published than a black person.Reminds me of able bodied people getting limited insights by wearing devices to give themselves disabilities which they take off by the end of the day. I know disabled people who support this while knowing the limitations.

@WarnerCrocker It is more likely that Trump will see jail time from contempt of court than from the charges. This is because it is typical for these charges that someone who is a 1st time offender to not see jail time. This is the result from Trump not being prosecuted in the past.
The judge understands that $1,000 incident doesn't mean much to Trump. There is possible jail time per gag order violation and alternatives, such as someone have to review every social media post before Trump posts.

@WarnerCrocker My mother had a Steinway baby grand. Amazed that my grandparents could afford it and moving it every time they moved.
My brother inherited the piano. One time it was moved into the 3rd floor of a Brooklyn building. This involved removing the large window of the apt and using pulleys to get the piano up to the 3rd floor.
Best of luck with your move.

@WarnerCrocker @jamesthomson and since this happened to so many Mac experts we know it isn’t “You are holding it wrong”. I wonder if I was saved because when this happened to all of you I was involved in social activities that kept me off my devices, a rare occurrence.

@WarnerCrocker @jamesthomson After reading so many posts on this subject I’m thankful to have dodged this bullet.

@WarnerCrocker I'm sure this article is missing lots of information. But I have questions.
1) What are “Super apps”?
2) Apple should allow for the cloud-streaming apps. The reasons not to approve them based on security is questionable.
3) There are cross-platform messaging apps, they are the rage outside of the US. I think they may be talking about interoperability of Messages with other messaging platforms beyond SMS.
Of course I can be wrong about everything. I’ll just go make some popcorn

@GossiTheDog We had this is the old days.
The story of the person who used a lawn mower to trim their hedges, hurt themselves, and then successfully sued the maker of the lawn mower. It isn't true.
In the 1980s a reporter investigated the story after a major insurance company put this story a full page newspaper ad to push tort reform.
There was no source for the story, no proof. It was a lie
The insurance company almost lost its license.
We've always had fake stories that spread.

@w7voa I'm not sure that even covers the cost of charging people between cc processing fees and the cost to change their infrastructure. So I agree that there are other reasons for the fee, such as getting your cc info.

@briankrebs $10,000 fines every time a driverless car blocks the way.
