The linked Twitter thread includes replies from someone who worked on the intended-replacement system indicating that “in the field” data entry accuracy was one of the biggest problems and not somethi…

They think the effects people are experiencing aren't from a virus at all, but from millimeter-wave 5G radiation. Same fear as the TSA nude-body imaging scanners but on a worldwide scale.

You can see how important Onavo was to Facebook by the lengths they were willing to go to protect it, including the whole "distributing it to teens via enterprise cert" thing Apple slapped t…

The graphics (GRFs) are configurable! If you're using the original TTD GRFs it will look tiny and pixelated, but you can get large smooth modern-looking graphics too. Search for a "32bpp&quo…

They used to give out a month of Prime to extend your subscription, but two-ish years ago they switched to offering $5 Amazon purchase credit (after a short few weeks of trying to offer nothing).
