fTPM is firmware TPM, it is not physical.

The idea that soda and similar sugary beverages aren't hydrating is just plain wrong. They are, it's just that it's not healthy to drink them in anywhere near the quantities you would need to maintain hydration using them.

The other manufacturers the range is actually achievable if you drive efficiently.

I know Ford was conservative enough that I can come close to the official rating on my Mach-E despite not driving at all efficiently.

Any script or service you used can only access the most recent 1000 comments in your history.

This isn't quite 100% true. Shreddit supports getting its comment list from a GDPR request, and if you do that, then it CAN access the older comments and delete them, it just doesn't have any other way than that data request file to know about their existence.

Not in this chain, but it can likely be determined from your comment history by anyone who cares enough to put effort into it. A quick, less than a minute scan through that was enough to figure out that you live in the UK, and that you lived in Edinburgh during the first decade of this century.

Way too late to be worrying about that now. You've already posted it, and nothing you can do at this point would noticeably mitigate those types of risks.

If they can get it on iPhone, it's game over.

While this is true, I struggle to understand how Apple would stand to gain from implementing this unless it had already become a widespread standard. It's also an opportunity for more privacy focused marketing if they oppose it, just like they do with government attempts to force them to implement backdoors into iOS.

THEN, after calling them up and explaining the situation, they apologized and said they'd dismiss the charge--which they failed to do

That sounds about right. When I was in college I got a speeding ticket halfway in between the college town and the city my parents lived in. Couldn't afford the fine due to being a poor college student, and called the court and asked if an extension was possible. They told me absolutely, how long do you need, and then I started saving up. Shortly before I had enough, I got a call from my Mom that she had received a letter saying there was a bench warrant for my arrest over the fine

"statistically you have a higher chance of a plane crashing on you than you crashing while in a plane."

Where are you hearing that, and I'm almost certain it's not true? On the other hand, "you're more likely to die driving to the airport than on your flight" actually is true.

This dish is so common it's got tons of names, the only thing even vaguely Nebraskan about it is the name, and even that is a shortening of an older German name for it.

I've seen the first chart in a lot of news stories, and it's a scary graph, but that second one looks positively terrifying by comparison.

Used to be independent, but it's owned by Alibaba now, so don't expect anything more than a pretense of independence anymore.
