If you buy the one in the image in the post, the metal part screws off from the plastic frame. You could then bend or brake the tab used to solder the cable to the connector (it’s thin) and you would have something closer to the right side image.
No, it’s better because Google can validate that it’s your information so they can use it to sell better targeted ads for more money. Or more pessimisticly sell that info to other companies/countries/scammers.
You take all the risk they take all the profit.
I don’t think you got the central point. Protestants exist to protest Catholicism. A Protestant that recognises catholics as Christian’s wouldn’t be a Protestant.
Different sects of Protestantism are able to recognise other sects as Christian’s because a central tentant of Protestant practice is the personal relationship with God. So different sects of Protestants find that easier to accept. Where as Catholics practice a relationship with God that is tied to the organisation and the Pope.
Mormons are arguably a different religion altogether. Similar to how Jewish/Christian/Islam all share similar but different religious texts making them all different religions.
The intended outcome is othering.
You misunderstand reasonable. It does not mean good, more the natural conclusion given the context.
It’s not ridiculous for Protestants to say catholics aren’t Christian. Protestant movements came about because they believed the Catholic Church wasn’t teaching the word of God. It’s not a coincidence it came about at a similar time to the printing press.
As people became more literate they started to learn the contradictions between the priests and the bible. The reaction to this resulted in movements that preached personal relationships with God and rejection of false profits (worshiping popes, saints etc).
If your not aligned with either of these religions is seems ridiculous. The reality is you can’t think Protestantism is the correct path if you believe Catholics are Christians. This is the same for many religions, they mostly claim they are right and everyone else is wrong.

Swiftfin is the official Apple TV jellyfin app. Swiftfin is great on iOS, but hasn’t been updated on Apple TV for a while. It also lacks a lot of polish and features but it is being worked on. There should be an update soon.
I’ve been using infuse on Apple TV. Infuse isn’t open source and needs a subscription to watch most 4k hdr content. I think it’s worth it if Swiftfin gets an update soon.
Apple TV is definitely a better experience compared to Samsung and Android. Apps are nicer and there isn’t any ads, privacy controls and privacy statements are much better. Recommended content can also be disabled and only shows when your hovering over the relevant app.
The SNP flourished in Scotland because the Scottish parliament has a proportional representation system (ironically chosen to keep the SNP out of power). Their success in the Scottish Parliament helped get them when contesting FPTP in Westminster.
The West is significantly richer than most other countries. The countries outside the west that are also wealthy have deep trade connections with the West. These connections may be so that China may consider them effectively 'the West’s - Japan, South Korea, Australia, Singapore etc.
China tries to expand it’s trading partners outside the West with its belt and trade initiative. But that’s expensive and controversial. As it often involves corruption and abuse carried out by Chinese businesses. It doesn’t appear as bad as 1800s colonisers, but in light of today’s sensibilities China often comes out badly.
It’s still wise to build connections with growing economies. Often because the population is large and is set to become larger. However, China’s aggressive posture has destroyed relations with one of it nearest and largest growing economy India. India’s relations with the West isn’t great, it currently goes between Russia and the West. I think mainly to ensure advanced weapon supply in the event of escalations with China.
More than you think. They are also actively seeking ways to make that leverage effect more people.
They are defining web standards. They control chrome and chromium. So all of the alternative browsers that aren’t safari and Firefox are using Google’s web engine. Even Firefox and safari are beholden to Google as they fund both these web browsers through their default search deals.
Google after many failed messaging apps has taken on RCS messaging. They provide most of the supporting infrastructure through their Jibe servers. They don’t allow anyone but themselves and Samsung to make an RCS app on android. They also had a campaign to pressure apple to use RCS. It’s likely apple’s RCS will be following Google’s Jibe service closely, as they’ve already said their will work with Google on this. Google successfully got most RCS messages going through their servers, with apple on board with RCS itll see most SMS messages defaulting to RCS and most of those going through Google.
They also have deep hooks into education market with their OneDrive/Google docs products and Chromebooks.
Most privacy focused android alternatives recommend Google hardware.
3nm refers to the smallest possible feature size - the transistor would be bigger than this.
It can correlate with performance, but it is not performance.
It’s a wedge issue.
The vast majority of people have no benefit from voting for right wing parties. Their policy seeks to benefit the very wealthy that support them. The want low taxes for the wealthy, all government services to be privatised so the wealthy can profit without risk and suppression of wages for workers.
The problem these parties face is only a very small minority of people would want these policies. So they need to create a reason to get people to vote for them.
They do this by inflaming and misrepresenting issues they don’t really care about. But can be represented as a threat to the ordinary person. A threat they will be perceived to be the best to deal with.
Common wedge issues are racism, immigration, abortion, homophobia and now transgender rights.
Abortion has been a wedge issue in the US for a long time. There has been multiple opportunities for the right to completely ban abortion. They haven’t because once they’ve done that they lose their wedge issue. However, they have been at it so long their is a generation of politicians that have been subject to this wedge issue so long they sincerely believe in it.
In the UK the Conservatives use alot of rhetoric about tackling immigration. However, immigration has risen in the UK under the conservatives. They also have plans to increase the number of visas from countries like India - which are much poorer and less culturally assimilated compared to people from the EU. This benefits employers as they can get cheap labour that can’t realistically protest bad working conditions like UK citizens. Despite this people in the UK trust the Conservatives to tackle immigration better than the other parties.
Blatent homophobia or racism is now intolerable in main stream media. Even alluding to them is frowned upon. So these wedge issues aren’t available to use anymore. But transgender issues are.
We don’t have the legal framework for this type of thing. So people are going to disagree with how using training data for a commercial AI product should work.
I imagine Steven King would argue they didn’t have licenses or permission to use his books to train their AI. So he should be compensated or the AI deleted/retrained. He would argue buying a copy of the book only lets it be used for humans to read. Similar to buying a CD doesn’t allow you to put that song in your advert.
The nastiness of Trump is his appeal. They like the idea of people getting punished while they get away with it. It’s part of why his appeal is so broad. His speech’s feel like a friend making snide remarks. So they envision him punishing the people they dislike, but never them.
No one wants to admit this to themselves, never mind someone else. So they’ll tie themselves up in knots trying to justify why they like him.
