Who tf wrote those requirements?
It seems pretty clear to me that they intended the Trump Bible to be the only one that fit all the specifications.

They’re was never any evidence of google’s wrongdoing, the accusation came from former MS edge developers:
https://www.developer-tech.com/news/edge-developer-google-youtube-chrome-browsers/
Officially Google denied it:

You may be right, this could have been MS couldn’t make a better browser and pulled the plug, and the devs just blamed google.
I’m not defending Microsoft… but if we’re going to go after a tech company for leveraging their other assets to give themselves an unfair advantage can we also go after Google?
In the first releases of Edge, Microsoft tried to build a new web browser from scratch to compete with Google Chrome. By google kept changing YouTube’s code so that videos would playback janky on Edge. Microsoft eventually gave up trying to fix for YouTubes ongoing changes and now Edge is based on Chromium (the same open source web browser maintained by Google, that chrome os built on). Google leveraged YouTube to prevent completion from Edge.
And now Google is blocking ad blocking extensions so that users are forced to see more google ads in their browser.
Microsoft’s has leveraged their unfair advantage to get a little over 5% market share.
Google’s leveraged their unfair advantage to get 66% of the market.
Both companies need a hard smack down, but I want to see Google taken down too.
Just beware, sometimes the AI suggestions are scary good, some times they’re batshit crazy.
Just because AI suggests it, doesn’t mean it’s something you should use or learn from.
Vulnerable to what? Mob justice?
People need to be held accountable but violence isn’t the answer.
If they’re forced to vote on it, at least we’ll know which politicians have a spine and which have a padded wallet.
They call it jailbreak because this is an issue of freedom
I support your position and the right to repair, but that’s not the origin of the term jailbreak in the context of computing.
The term jailbreaking predates its modern understanding relating to smartphones, and dates back to the introduction of “protected modes” in early 80s CPU designs such as the intel 80286.
With the introduction of protected mode it became possible for programs to run in isolated memory spaces where they are unable to impact other programs running on the same CPU. These programs were said to be running “in a jail” that limited their access to the rest of the computer. A software exploit that allowed a program running inside the “jail” to gain root access / run code outside of protected mode was a “jailbreak”.
The first “jailbreak” for iOS allowed users to run software applications outside of protected modes and instead run in the kernel.
But as is common for the English language, jailbreak became to be synonymous with freedom from manufacture imposed limits and now has this additional definition.
This also leads to stupid rules like you can’t change your password more than once a day, to prevent someone from changing their password 5 times and then changing it back to what it was before.
Which is good because mars will be about the only inhabitable planet in the solar system if Trump has another term.
In most jurisdictions, tripling renewables doesn’t get us to a place where we’re generating more electricity than we can instantaneously use. The few places where it is possible can usually export excess electricity to neighbouring jurisdictions that still rely heavily on fossil fuels.
We still have a depressingly long way to go before we’re at the point of renewables generating “excess” energy that needs to be stored.
It was a UPS I bought on Amazon.
It arrived damaged in the box, almost certainly because the driver dropped it.
My experience with Amazon customer service was umm… fun.
- click the request return button.
This item is not returnable.
- call customer service
Them: “This item is not returnable”
Me “it arrived damaged”
Them: “We’ll send you an email, reply to it with evidence of damage”
- reply to email sending pictures with close up of the damage
Please send the email from the same address associated with the Amazon account
- resend reply from my other email
The pictures you sent are in the wrong format please resend as jpeg or pdf
- convert the images and resend
The pictures you sent do not show the entire product
- take new pictures from farther away
Please send pictures that clearly show the damage

Oh please.
The evidence for Szabo is circumstantial at best. I’ll give you he has the skills and experience and was working on digital currency at the time.
But Szabo was just one of hundreds of people working on different ideas related to digital currency around the time Bitcoin was released.
And how many hundreds of people developed their own cryptocurrency after getting the idea from the Bitcoin whitepaper? Clearly he not the only “person on earth who had both the skills and experience”.
Not to mention Szabo has repeatedly denied being Satoshi.
