And it’s expensive too, sometimes higher than your home insurance premium.

Yeah, I’m all against social media surveillance, but this was on the jumbotron at a concert. Having said that, I do hate those segments in concerts and sports where they feature audiences on the screens without consent. It’s not like there’s a line in the customer agreement when buying tickets that you allow your face to be featured (unless there is?). That’s why I always make myself as boring as possible - either just sitting with a straight face, or eating something - so I don’t get singled out.

I'm gonna try and guess. Disclaimer: I haven't flown Ryanair, I just know they are bottom barrel budget airline and everyone hates them.

  • No seat reservations so you get what's available when you board, and you may end up not sitting next to each other.
  • They're so bad that couples fight and split up during travel because of how horrible the experience is.

The article says Apple claims the employee failed to report previous breaches, so maybe it’s the last of multiple strikes.

Based on the article, the youtuber and an accomplice who knew an Apple employee accessed the employee’s phone while it was unattended, so technically it wasn’t intentional and more negligence. On the other hand, Apple also claims the employee failed to report previous breaches, so maybe this was the final straw.

The article says it was broken 2 years later.

Our PMs don't like making things opt-in.

This reply from one of the employees sums it up.

To spite either a delivery person or the person the item will be delivered to.

Hard synths vs soft synths. Hard synth purists scoff at soft synths because they are not "authentic" and merely simulations. Soft synth snobs scoff at hard synth users because they are old timers who can't move on to the future. Both are fine, do what you want. At the end of the day, what matters is if the music you produce is actually good.

Yes, but it depends on which one you use. Some are better than others. The ones that can be hosted locally (i.e. keepass) are the most secure because you are not relying on a third party to host your password vault for you. It would be helpful to know why you think they aren't very secure, so people can help clarify.
