Isn’t Russia’s invasion of Ukraine a special security operation?

The US gov’t does this to gain leverage over these companies – not to help Americans. They can then use them to conduct surveillance on us.
Imagine if they sold can openers inside sealed tin cans… And not the kind with the pull tab.
Is that supposed to be Herobrine or something?
But the real question is… How do they taste?
Hopefully you don’t care, but in case you do I didn’t downvote you. I was not offended, but I am grateful I had an opportunity to share some of the unique insights I’ve experienced.
I never said it was a good thing. I was just commenting on the aggressive nature of Brazil LEO. Microsoft in particular bends over backwards for any gov’t or LEO. I can only assume the Feds got substantial leverage over them, perhaps by manipulating the antitrust cases. Same tactics they use on the smaller guys works on the big corps too I guess. Top customer of MS legal compliance is by far the US Fed with 5000-7000 blanket surveillance of Americans presumably part of PRISM. Second highest is definitely Brazil, and they are very demanding and impatient.
Back in 2016, MS was advertising Customer Lockbox as an answer to gov’t intrusion into customer privacy. It sounded perfect. Customer gets encryption keys so MS cannot comply with lawful interception requests. I think Apple does this, and it works well for them and their customers. However today I cannot tell if MS lied, dismantled this aspect of this feature, or buried it such that no one uses this ability.
While we’re talking about MS playing snitch, watch out for Windows 11 and the TPM hardware requirement. Sure this might be a useful tool to fight ransomware scammers, but it definitely can also be used to fingerprint a PC and make everything potentially traceable. Look up machine identification code aka yellow dots for a nifty parallel in the printer world (pun intended).
I generally agree, but I feel like Windows 8.1 was a vast improvement on 8. It was really more like Windows 9 with a Windows 8 theme.
Brazil does not fuck around. They famously jailed several Microsoft execs when they didn’t hand over some emails a few years ago.
Edit: Skype data not emails and one exec

It means you can “dock” your phone with a consenting bro’s phone also displaying this symbol by facing each other, grasp your device firmly, and touch the tips together.
Actually if you want a serious answer, I usually try to apply force as close to the hinge as possible when opening and closing the lid. This way the full length of the screen isn’t acting as a lever multiplying the force on the relatively short span of the hinge mounting bracket.
I definitely agree this is too common a problem not to be by design.
Let the hate flow through you!

Swedish Dream Cookies straight out of the oven will work too!
I see The Road primarily, but I could also give a nod to The Road Warrior…
It really is a great apple! I’ve recently tried one for the first time. I can definitely recommend!
Also the licky fingers thing doesn’t bother me nearly as much as the people who dig their long, dirty fingernails into produce, and sometimes I don’t notice until I’ve already brought it home… Blehhh!
Got any horror stories or tips as an insider?
They used to measure the Kessel Run in meter-years until the numbers got too big to convey in astromech code.
