Or the fact that once it's off of your hard drive and sitting comfortably on their cloud (their hard drive), they can scan it and harvest it for data.

Ok but...he's gotta wear the aviators.

At least that can be turned off in updates.

All these hardware additions, the AI buttons, even Windows taking away the right CTRL key for Copilot, are ugly appendages that, in 20 years, when were clearing out the equipment closest, we'll see some of these and go "oh yeah remember when that bullshit was as a thing for a few years?"

Don't forget the part where Logitech now requires you to use a web app (that only works on Chromium) to adjust settings or pair dongles now.

Just find a new peripheral manufacturer.

which is disheartening given the potential for even greater impact

What potential? Without Congress or the Supreme Court, what potential things could Biden be doing that would have "greater" impact that he isn't doing?

Something that doesn't require a new law, and won't be shot down by a hostile conservative court?

Please give me examples.

He can't do that.

People keep saying the things Biden have been doing are weak, half measures, but they have no idea what he's actually capable of doing without Congress.

He literally tried to wipe away a significant amount of student debt. He tried to fulfill that promise without Congress. The Supreme Court stopped it.

All the comments in here are so damn tedious. Copyright is a mess, but holy shit, people tie themselves in knots to make excuses for pirates being careless and stupid

He did. The gun was never in her home, she couldn't do anything about it. It was locked up at his friend's house because his mother wouldn't have permitted him to have it.

...what? What are you basing this on?

When the children were small, Wendy and Mike worked various jobs, including machine operator, housekeeper, and cashier.

...

Wendy had become a certified nursing assistant, but she continued to struggle financially. The family was repeatedly evicted.

...

In 2018, shortly after another eviction, Wendy filed for bankruptcy. She developed a gastrointestinal bleed that required hospitalization, and Faith was also hospitalized, after an attempted overdose involving over-the-counter painkillers

No she literally isn't. It was bought for him by somebody else in another city, where it was kept.

Sure, but she's also his mother, not a random family member. I'm not going to fault a mother for standing by their child, no matter what he did.

She didn't let him buy anything, but she couldn't make him get rid of it because it wasn't in her house. It was locked up at a friend's house in a different town.

She was also ill, poor, dyslexic, and a single parent dealing with a difficult child. She doesn't seem to have much in her life but her children, I'm not going to condemn her for not banishing him from her life. It's not an easy thing for a mother to do.
