Because everyone's heard that advice, but people don't tend to take action until they have evidence that they, personally, are at risk.

AAPL has a history of sitting on massive quantities of cash tbh

We can and should be the very very loud majority.

This seems like a great excuse to pull over minorities. In general pulling people over for vague "suspicious behavior" without suspicion of a specific issue is a massive violation of everyone's rights.

Thats not entirely true. High trust tight knit communities are the default we evolved for. Where is usually breaks down if people don't have a strong internal sense of guilt is in sufficiently large groups (i.e. cities) where the social dynamic breaks down and people get effective anonymity.

Not to mention, one of the most important things, the absolute best app out there for controlling insulin pumps for diabetics is an open source app you have to "sideload." I'm not usually one to make hyperbolic accusations, but in this case Google attempting to kill sideloading could put real people's lives in danger, or substantially damage their quality of life.

Its like finding out that for many years every minuteman silo in north america used the launch code "00000000"

The first 3DS exploit required Cubic Ninja, a terrible game that sold poorly and was instantly $80+ once it was revealed.

Cubic Ninja was not the first. The earlier ones used DS mode as an exploit using a cheap DS flashcard. I'm not even sure that was the first, but it was the first big one.

Data centers often come with their very own natural gas turbines right outside to provide power the grid can't supply. This is what happened at xAI's data center in Memphis.

Correct. They will operate until the grid can supply reliable power. Give it a few years. There is a massive backlog to grid connectivity and generation construction.

That massive backlog already exists for what is being built now, not things in the pipeline. Your looking at 10+ years at getting that tied in.

I don't think you have any clue on the size of the projects being suggested. We are talking 3 times the size of the current texas grid which is twice as large as the California grid. It is a mind shattering amount of power that would be required if it could all be built.
