they're still fingerprinting and tracking devices, pairing that data to facial rec and movement tracking from cameras, and all that to register transaction data.

if microsoft wants the power, they can pay for it. up front, and entirely. including assuming liability for when something goes wrong, and for the ongoing storage of waste materials and the eventual decommission/clean-up of the site.

lol. nope. not happening. that's not how to get me to even think about using your search again (having quit over a decade ago).

they suck so bad around here the last couple years, it'd be hard to tell if it's a 'widespread' outage or just the local 'norm'. (ours is working right now, but an hour east of here it's not).

the 'odor' was probably just 'clean', and mr copper doesn't know what 'clean' smells like so it just had to be something super illegal.

some 'third-party' printer consumables have custom chips on them already.

some way to call a custom or 'third party' (not compiled into the program) extractor would probably be enough. then let other people work on ones for the, um, 'problem sites'.

they still do, i'm sure. just too many occurrences to properly deal with and not enough funding to go around.

stefan mandel won a bunch of jackpots in australia and the us during the 1970s and 80s doing the same thing, buying all the numbers.

without search and their abuse of that monopoly, google wouldn't have dominant positions or massive market shares that many of their other properties (products, services, software, etc) have.
