I don’t know… Wait till the end of this one

New Zealand? What’s that?

Japan is near the bottom of my list for western countries

Japan is an Eastern country. In fact, it’s the farthest East county possible.

I think the words you were looking for were “first world countries”.

“Don’t trust anyone over 30”

You are right, those are not compatible, didn’t realize that. The speed specs are the same, just a series block. With the worst part of this being that these are all going to be 10 years old when Win10 is completely unsupported, which is better then the non-Linix alternatives (MacOS, ChromeOS(?), Android, iPadOS).

The difference is you now need a TPM 2.0 chip. That’s pretty much it. Hardware requirements were the same as Win8.

If you are using a desktop computer, all you need to do is buy a $20-30 TPM 2.0 module and install it. It connects to a few pins and your done. It’s cheap, simple, and easy to do.

The issue is most people now have laptops and quite a few didn’t have that chip or that version (some have TPM 1.2, which isn’t as secure anymore.) and you can’t install it on a laptop motherboard. TPM 2.0 has been available since mid-2016, but some manufacturers might have cheapened out and not added it to save costs as it wasn’t a necessary part. So basically, any laptop that is 9 years or older (or the manufacturer cheapened out) won’t be able to upgrade to Win11.

That’s an amazing strawman argument you have there. But please, let’s stay on topic.

The topic was “Apple shares iCloud data with law enforcement, regardless of whether the iCloud data is encrypted or not”.

Sure, here is the legal document from Apple by Apple of what they share with law enforcement.

Included inside is:

III. Information Available from Apple A. Device Registration B. Customer Service Records C. Apple Media Services D. Apple Store Transactions E. Apple.com Orders F. Gift Cards G. Apple Cash H. Apple Pay I. Apple Pay Later J. Apple Card K. Savings L. iCloud M. Find My N. AirTag and Find My Network Accessory Program O. Extracting Data from Passcode Locked iOS Devices P. IP Address Request Q. Other Available Device Information R. Requests for Apple Store CCTV Data S. Game Center T. iOS Device Activation U. Connection Logs V. My Apple ID and iForgot Logs W. FaceTime X. iMessage Y. Apple TV app Z. Sign in with Apple AA. Apple Push Notification Service (APNs)

They’ve been doing it for data on device, not on iCloud (cloud data). They have full access to that.

Apple is still not offering governments a backdoor into encrypted content

You mean like they have to under the USA PRISM Act?

That would be a part of Telsa, as it calls out Musk’s actions there.

I’ve been to the USA, I’ve seen dessert pizza.

With how you have been commenting here, I’m not surprised that what you read…

That would be the implied answer in the meme and the first post.

Look at the meme, and see the connection between our and your original post. You are the one who posted both.

I did. Has nothing to do what I wrote. Pointing out Trump isn’t some hero of Gaza isn’t a “But Trump” anything.

So, go back and read what I wrote. Or would you like a “But Trump” comment?

Look at the last two sentences I wrote.

So did Trump.

Trump, who routinely touts his support of Israel more broadly, has reportedly said he supports Israel in its continued “war on terror” after the October 7 attack by Hamas.

This part always seems to be forgotten every time this comes up. Voting for Trump won’t suddenly stop it. He’ll either send just as much or more.
