Why stop there? Stream the camera to a CNN and black out all the ads in real time you'd other wise be forced to see walking down the street or in the subway.

I don't see anywhere where the manufacturer or retailer/distributor is required to perform one of the actions based on what the customer wishes of returning or replacing the item.

I also fail to see where anyone would expect the current purchase price to be refunded to them instead of the original paid purchase price.

If the regulations require making the customer whole, then I could see an argument for current fair market value, or even just giving nominal interest on the purchase price.

If in your thought experiment, the retailers had a potential risk (requiring fair market value returns/replacement), and they failed to insure themselves from that risk, then they indeed deserve to be forced out of business.

Linking to actual sources would reveal that the keywords the IRS was looking for were politically biased, yes, but across the spectrum. The keywords included "Tea Party", "Patriot", "Progressive", and "Occupy." https://www.npr.org/2017/10/05/555975207/as-irs-targeted-tea...

Yeah, even the paid (non-ad) hulu has trouble if you block its telemetry servers.

No, they have been rendered useless for that purpose through software updates because of the almost 100% overlap of the use cases of 1) stalking someone 2) and tracking a thief.

It looks like it was composed as tool for tiny javascript challenge: https://phoboslab.org/log/2021/09/q1k3-making-of . Could not get the examples to work however.

Constant AB testing and AI garbage is what would happen. The next frontier of advertising is GPT tailored content with ads added inline. You take the base content and run it through to subtly add a reference to the product being advertised in exactly the way that has been proven to be effective to the user. Perfect targeting.

I set up a raspberry Pi W with cups and Air Print to an older Brother laser over USB. Now I can wireless print from all my devices and keep this beast going for longer.

No, the SEC maintains oversight of private institutions as well. The example that comes to mind is SEC’s investigation of Theranos.

One of the first commercial US PWR nuclear reactors was a burred in the ground nuclear powered air craft carrier plant. It was built by the AEC under the direct supervision of the Navy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shippingport_Atomic_Power_Stat...

Norton 360, which if memory serves has been a stalwart of the preinstall game now installs an opt-in Cryptominer. https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/01/norton-360-now-comes-wit...

If I remember correctly, the "secret API call" was to the framebuffer. They were rendering the maps using the iPhones cpu/gpu, then pushing the rasters to the watch. The watch was not yet able to render the maps in realtime. Uber had to be able to create screens even in the background, so the API could have taken a snapshot of the active part of the screen buffer.
