There are companies that sell small CNC machines marketed for the purpose of producing firearms. At that point all you need is the gcode and the stock.

When Apple launches a new product line there are typically no real competitors. When the competition catches up, their prices suddenly line up with what Apple charges.

Yes, Iranian regimes have provided material aid to Palestinian militants towards their goals. That aid is still being provided, hence continuing apprehension.

Not saying we shouldn't pressure corporations to do better, but one of the unintended consequences here is that Apple's green initiatives and disclosures are in part simply a product of tight vertical integration. At a certain point pollution is simply resources not optimally exploited and extracted, and those inefficiencies are lost profits. Meeting environmental goals at that point will be easier for large conglomerates than for smaller players, thus encouraging the rise of more conglomerates.

We've just witnessed what happens when Hamas puts all of their might into their charter of ethnic cleansing. If Israel had such a charter, what would it look like if Israel put all their might into ethnically cleansing Gaza?

That is a better solution for those who want to flee or have the means or freedom to flee, or are ok with abandoning their communities and historical ties. However this would only help those refugees. For those who remain the situation will remain untenable until militants stop rising to power within Palestinian territories, and Israel negotiates a two state solution that involves giving up some land.

Even taking your cynical view, is it not telling that Israel at leasts cares about the optics?

Palestinian militants have a history of establishing enclaves and starting civil wars within the countries that host them. Arab countries have an apprehension about allowing too many Palestinians in because of this history.

Just another opportunity for green washing. The Exxon report should just be a letter-headed page saying “yes”.

You imply it by saying Israel targets Palestinian people but Hamas targets Israel. Why not say Hamas targets Israeli people, being that they’ve just done so?

Are you really implying Hamas only targeted Israeli military and government targets in this recent offensive?

They currently offer 4 different families of iPhone for sale. The cheapest one is the SE for $429.

I'd read it the way it was written. Apple has less expensive phones for people who want them, and honestly most poor families just get their phones through their carrier at a monthly rate, so your assertion isn't really a necessary tactic.

Samsung's record on RCS isn't great. Their Samsung Messages app didn't work across networks for most of last year. Like RCS only worked on t-mobile, but only for t-mobile branded phones, and for some time they couldn't send to AT&T. Not sure if Google Messages was much better during that time period.

Why would anyone want to stop using iMessage? It's honestly quite good and the app integrations are great. Honestly the only iPhone users I know who don't use iMessage are due to network effects (families in foreign countries where Whatsapp dominates).

You can't make this stuff up

Except that You literally made it up though? You embellished the part about poor families and cheap phones, here's the actual quote:

I am concerned [that] iMessage on Android would simply serve to remove an obstacle to iPhone families giving their kids Android phones.

Space races are good for science. As long as spacex engineers keep Elon at bay, Starship should be able to launch stage biggest station modules in history.

If they were really fighting it that hard they could’ve stalled till 2025 when the EU law actually takes effect.
