I was reading the site on Android, and it looked dark, but after seeing this comment, I tried disabling Android system wide dark mode, and sure enough it became white like in the screenshot! For the record, I tried with both Firefox and a Chromium-based browser.

While that's true, short term (vacation) rentals existed well before airbnb, they just weren't so prevalent.

McAfee is not Russan, just like Instagram is not Chinese (I thought it was clear enough).

Yes it's a clear reference to TikTok, which I don't like for many many reasons, but none of those reasons is why it was banned, it's because it's Chinese.

But is not Russian, just like Instagram is not Chinese.

Depends on which country...

The reference to Minority Report is right in the subtitle:

The social media app might get hit with a federal lawsuit before its ban officially begins as the FTC has issued a warning for possible future crimes.

and apparently the FTC statement includes these words:

violating or are about to violate the law.

I mean, I also don't really like TikTok and have a hard time picturing an adult using it as well, but that doesn't mean it should be held accountable for "future crimes". At least, that's what the article is claiming...

That's possible, I'm using Firefox, is that something firefox would do?

The site does use https for me... it instantly redirects from http to https

From the article:

Herinckx said his focus is on consumer goods not covered by sanctions. Reuters found no evidence that his firm was violating sanctions.

His business might be of dubious morality but it might not be illegal, so I'm not sure the government can do much.

I'm very confused as well.

Harris had never had a driver’s license—only a state ID—and in fact had had his driving privileges suspended last year.

How can you suspend someone's driving privileges if they never had them in the first place?

Ok, so, no official support for Windows 10, but can you still install and run Windows 10 and renouce whatever "support" or will it just not work?

I agree with the sentiment, but I think the article meant "service" in a more general way. For example, developing software for sale, to be used offline and/or on device rather than cloud, can also be considered a service.
