That's because there are two COMs: 1. The good COM, which is just a class-like ABI. 2. The horrible OLE COM, which allowed you to embed Word docs in Excel and the like which is what most people associate with COM.

I've encountered plenty of pictures with incorrect EXIF orientation, mostly caused by holding the phone at a weird angle. For example, if I hold the phone parallel with the ground (aimed at the floor), what is the correct EXIF orientat

Surely someone can create a neural network that reorients the image, even if the Exif orientation is wrong (JPEG lets you can do this without re-encoding). Sounds like it should be a very simple problem for the vast majority of "regula

DirectX is COM based. Which means that pretty much every Windows game, and many applications (like Chrome) use COM, at least in part.

These kind of decisions are made by a 5th level middle manager, not by the CEO or the PR department. Just like when the Delta flight crew forcefully removed that doctor from the airplane. Or a Starbucks employee calling the police on black

Yes, one man will have the final word regarding a ban on Apple. I didn't say that Chinese people wouldn't approve of the ban. But it will be for one man to decide one way or the other.

Even if not, way less stuff hiding in there than in your average computer. Remember that these days, Intel CPUs have web-servers embedded in them.
