If they're antipho we can safely assume their opinions on soup aren't worth a damn.

Maybe they mean a real one with fMRI. Or maybe just signaling to China that their assets get interviewed for life.

$13B is 7% of Apple's annual profit in 2022. Not a rounding error. Somebody has to settle for golden yachts instead of platinum next year.

John Wayne toilet paper. Rough, tough, and doesn't take shit off of anyone.

They're also adding a lot more incompatible text formatting and shit to keep Android incomplete with their real chat protocol. Gotta keep those teens bullying Android users. Also E2E encryption would be nice, but the EU didn't force them to do that.

Still great because MMS is garbage and ruins photo and video quality.

The fingerprinting I'm talking about gets encoded in the screen recording too. Subtle pixel changes here or there over the entire length of the video. It'll be lossy when it's transcoded, but over the whole video it's there enough times it won't matter. Even scaling to lower quality won't fix it and then it'll also be lower quality.

It'll be like DRM, there will be people trying to remove it like anything else. They'll break one thing and another will come along. There would still be a black market, but most people can get an unrestricted copy in exchange for money so there's one less reason to pirate.

Unless you're actually pointing a camera at the screen, then OK, you do you.

They could offer a way to download a copy and steganographically tag it to hell with your id so that they know if you distribute it. You can "loan it out" by letting friends stream off your Plex or whatever. If you start selling that streaming service or it shows up in torrents, it has your ID on it.

Boom, you own it forever and you're incentivized not to over share.

Or you know sell DRM free versions and let people do whatever, but that probably has a snowballs chance in hell.

On The Honeymooners his catchphrase was "one of these days Alice, bang zoom straight to the moon." He was going to hit her so hard she flew to the moon. The height of comedy at the time.

Being a quarterback savant didn't really prepare him for his new career as a political scientist, historian, and scientist.

I read that as missiles. Like WTF Florida!?! It's still WTF, but not missle striking an elementary.

This has happened like 100 times. Self loathing gay conservatives are the most anti-gay of them all.
