So what keeps someone from running a Robert Downey Jr. lookalike contest, then giving the winner a cash prize in exchange for their likeness?

I'm not concerned that they followed the best advice of their lawyers to respond to the legal and political challenges that currently exist.

I am concerned that hostile nation states (define those as you will) have made supply chain attacks (remember the xz Utils backdoor) so common that actions like this or worse are becoming necessary and that open source, globally contributed software could be at risk.

I skipped the 2021 version, and while my 2019 is still holding strong, I don't know that it will make it to the mini 8 (if one is even made. Especially if that takes 3 more years.) This looks to be a solid upgrade from 2 gen back. Double the ram and storage, usbc.

I may not buy one tomorrow, but possibly soon.

Trump seems to always exceed expectations, so I fear he will almost certainly win unless a health condition forces him out of the race.

However, I have consistently under estimated Harris, so maybe I'll be wrong yet again and she will be the one to overperform...

Yes and no. For close friends, family, and long time coworkers. I care that you had a good trip, that mom and baby are healthy, and would not mind a few photos. But that's it. I don't need a 500 page travel album or daily baby pics.

Self driving cars and fusion. I'm still optimistic about fusion.

Nice to see they are finally trying to fix the blatant security flaws in UAC.

4′33″. I hate that melody and would rather just listen to silence.
