What MS could do, and would make sense, is to just withdraw from the UK Market. I know they won't actually do that, but it would seem they would make more money in the US, Canada, EU and other countries that approve the deal, than they

Supposedly it can tell 'dangerous' liquids apart from things like drinks and shampoos.

The thing is, those claims about MacOS have been true for some time, while Windows becoming this bad is a relatively recent thing. 10 was the start, and 11 was a huge escalation.

Thank you. I'm going to add that book to my list, it sounds interesting.

Every post you've made here is so clealry stemming from emotion and the need to be defensive. Maybe put that aside and actually deal with facts and figures, and not perceived slights. > People refuted your assertion with facts and f

I think you replied to the wrong comment. I specifically referenced the rape endemic, and I said the way it is being handled is deplorable and woefully inadequate. And it is.

Honestly, your comment makes me wonder if there is any kind of site or project keeping track of that (because there should be), because I saw a headline recently but can't remember any specifics. Searching 'book banning' on n

And then you have those with higher education and critical thinking capabilities who wouldn't ever join the military... That aside, these stats are not surprising. Anyone from outside the US knows just how bad the education system is w

Deloitte has a huge reputation to maintain and wouldn't be putting out false information. Besides, they are not saying anything that any other reputable source isn't also saying.

I don't think I could ever switch to Mac. I'm not a fan of the price markup, don't want to support a company that is so anti-right to repair and so pro lock-in, and aside from all of that their UI always feels like it gets in

I mean, drugs would be a problem in both the sending and receiving country, often for both sender and receiver if caught. This is more like me deciding to try and sue people in other countries because they said something I didn't like

You're right, I used the wrong term. I'd say Singapore is still authoritarian in a vacuum though, western democracies aside.

That's fine, I respect you ending the discussion if you don't feel headway can be reached. I will say I feel you are missing my point, and that you are claiming things like COPPA are equivalent because you are at a higher level of

I'm not trolling. Just because it might be a very pleasant place to live doesn't mean it isn't also totalitarian. They charge people coming into their country if they have weed in their system (or their law allows them to and

Exactly. The only thing the EU can do, barring specific agreements with countries that would allow for more, is bar service from a website to the Eu region. And then if EU users want to, they will just bypass that with a VPN...and then the

Yup, that's the whole point. The Deloitte page I linked to gives a Chinese web store located in China with no EU presence as an example. It's bonkers that the EU thinks they can enforce their laws in a situation like that. But the

I meant no insult, but I see no other explanation. You're ignoring the letter of the law, ignoring context and nuance, making unfounded claims and providing links that don't support your points at all.

Honestly Singapore belongs on some human rights watch lists or something. That's deplorable.
