The New York Times can suck a lemon, 40 minutes of my life, multiple calls and transfers to cancel a subscription. Hopefully this will be meaningfully enforced.

This is good advice. I kept my 4k Vizio offline until updating the firmware on a whim. The update broke the ability to run 1080p@60hz from my PC, making it effectively useless for normal use. The annoying part about the panel is that it was

Accounting for economic units is evident as far back as the Akkadian empire 5,000 years ago. Double-entry bookkeeping, central banking, ACH, SWIFT, etc. are iterations on a theme. CBDCs represent an incremental shift away from batch process

Toyota Tercel SR5, VW Diesel Rabbit, Toyota Pickup, Tacoma, etc. are all enjoyable to drive with a standard (manual) transmission. It is also a joy to be able to service and replace the clutch when required. Here's to hoping Toyota doe

Your view seems fundamentally misanthropic - instead of autochthonous population having access to a resource that you take for granted, you would rather kick them out into an expensive urban area where their life is disrupted? All for a per

AT&T cellular lists a user's data usage in kilobytes rather than gigabytes on the account page to obfuscate their poor business practices. Paradigm of credulity.
