@mcfate One important difference: I trust CoSo not to let a government demand access. Like say, if China passed a law making Uyghyur images illegal, and then demanding Apple scan for and turn over all data to them IAW their laws. We've already seen corps accommodate the CCP in order to gain access to their markets.

Plus, when Apple is inviting researchers to examine their capable, but then suing them for doing so... Yeah. Apple can GTFOH.

@lineofstarshine Deep breath. You got this - it's just one of those days that shows you how much you can accomplish when things don't go perfectly. Yeah, they wear you down a little... but's that's just a side effect of kicking arse!

@DisasterOracle The GQP COVID strategy all makes sense now.....

@Irishroze Not really my thing (I'm too old and grumpy), but apparently it's pretty decent. Microsoft's Phil Spencer (head of Xbox) apparently liked it, and said it worked well with the games he tried. So, it seems like it'll handle xCloud without much trouble - meaning users won't be confined to only Steam games for it.

Play stupid games, win stupid medical bills. Don't want to get vaccinated? Might want to check with your insurer before your stupidity impacts not only your (and others) health, but now... your long term family finances as well.

@mcfate Since the original vaccine gave us 5G, I'm hoping the booster implants the whole dang phone. That way, I can stop carrying around this digital tether... and hey, skinny jeans will prolly come back, too! 😆 🤣

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine I'd totally walk up and take an obvious faceshot pic. While turning and walking away, I'd toss over the shoulder "Welcome to the Internet, I'm sure you'll be famous...."

Have a good evenin' CoSo! Here's a li'l something to get ya in the mood for kickoff (or the weekend, if you're a lucky one)
