You seem to have a broken definition of what an expat is. A tourist is not an expat.

Expats belong on the bottom of the list for people to evacuate.

These aren’t all expats. Most are normal Americans who were going about normal travels. There was no warning for anyone to change plans ahead of the American lead terror attacks.

It is the advertising of any market differentiator or specifically when it’s for security.

Then it doesn’t happen. Your fear is not my fear.

Would you rather they ended up with zero dollars?

Yes.

The only terms under which I could potential accept tax money being used to save a company from a collapse leading to massive layoffs, is if the resulting company is also made entirely employee owned.

When you take into account inflation and the overall market gains over that time, they absolutely did not make their money back.

I’m just going to believe this comment is sarcasm, because I’m tired of releazing some people are this benevolent.

Having a vendor explicitly supporting it…epic is an understatement.

Bitcoin. 120k. 2025.

it’s because every device connected to a cell halves the bandwidth available to each device, and after something like 30-40 devices the cell is full.

I don’t know where you’re getting this from. There not how cells have worked since at least 3g, sort of sounds like how consumer grade WiFi hardware operates.

Towers are designed with sectors that are directional and each can support thousands of devices but those can’t handle 10k people at a stadium.

If you had bothered to read the article youd have read they are talking about how stadiums are now using distributed antenna systems (DAS), which is basically hundreds of antennas spread over the venue and fed directly into fiber. Each one is designed to handle a small section. The carriers do need to hook into the endpoint here so this isn’t something that can be setup on a whim.

I don’t see it mentioned but there are also mobile units, cellular on wheels (COWS) are common one and they really easy to spot if know to look for them. Basically a cell tower on trailer that can use microwave for the back haul for when on site fiber isn’t available.

If you end up at a venue and can’t get service it’s because the venue is too cheap to use any of these existing options. They could also be using some outdated antennas, LTE can’t handle as many connections as the new 5G stuff.

Who is making the claim otherwise? The term tossed around is socialist and more ignorantly communists.

Yep. Us fighting amongst ourselves is only to their benefit.

It’s a game I avoid playing so whole I may mock those who try but endeavor to never engage with anyone that does it. Best I can hope for is to get someone to self evaluate.

Yes. It’s all bad. The solution is to get rid of these political stooges. Dealing with capitalists is a different topic. There is some cross over with the poltical stoogery but that’s all there is.

My hatred for valve? Where the fuck does that come from? I couldn’t care less about them.

Their billionaire owner on the other hand, can go on the burn pile with the rest of them. How he made the billions doesn’t matter. I don’t make exceptions when it comes to eat the rich.

The downvotes are because this is an attack and steam and their rapid fan boys will do the needful to defend their favorite billionaire.

By your own rules, you’ve invalidated your existence.

Apple is doing this instead of requiring app developers to implement and maintain their own system, which is what Android is doing.

The question comes down to who trust more, any random app developer or a single entity.

For example this means meta doesn’t have to verify their iOS users because iOS already has.

I’m sure most people in this thread are coming at this all from a morally superior position about how they don’t use meta but they also don’t use iOS devices so this is another bit of outrage.

No one here is actually anything besides get upset about something that doesn’t effect them. The internet has become a silly place.

This is such a weird twisted way to blame America for Nazis. They looked at how America maintained a system of racism and discrimination in its legal system.

The isn’t fascism, that stuff started in Italy.

It’s really hard to take leftists as anything but extremists when you all use the same historical revisionism that every extremist group uses to create their in group.

Replacing one dogmatic system with a different dogmatic system is a hard sell.

It quite literally is. They’ve convinced you they are too powerful. You’ve already lost.

Hanging from the wall in chains isn’t opposition.
