I don't watch live action shows much, but in animated shows the antagonists seem to usually be cishet white men, unless they're destined to join the protagonists, in which case they can be diverse.
You think it was stupid? It was obviously an intentional choice to influence people to pester their friends to get Apple devices so it will 'just work'
So what's the genetic difference? If the copy was good enough, surely they would be dire wolves? Also, what is the motivation to bring back dire wolves?
Maybe if it's something like an ender pearl stasis chamber either on a timer or on a server that needs a daily ping to not activate. Not a big bulky device.
There should be a way to hard reset a device? Yes, there should, and it should be easy and simple. It's ok if it erases the device, but it shouldn't be a useless brick without connecting to any company's servers. Of course, I wouldn't expect any better from an Apple device, they're very locked down.
The only reason I decided to keep my last name (still changing my first) is that my parents decided to actually start being decent people and care about and respect me. If they hadn't, I probably would have wanted to change my last name too.
Sometimes we're told that, and sometimes it's true, but often it's an excuse to get people to work harder, eg at a job, but the result is actually lower quality work.
