How is this tech-related?

Agreed. I subscribed here for “technology news and articles”, as per the community description.

Though strictly speaking, business decisions aren’t technology news, even if it’s a software company.

sites will have to verify the age of visitors, either by asking for government-issued documents or using biometric data, such as face scans, to estimate their age

Yeah, most sites are just going to block UK users. Dealing with personal data like that is a nightmare.

It’s not, but the top mod also runs a bot that automatically posts content from various news sites, probably based on keywords. And I’d bet that some of those keywords are Twitter and Facebook. So don’t expect them to follow their own rules.

If he was running it on the keyboard’s existing processor and it had a screen in the key, like Doom on a Mac touchbar, then I would agree.

Most orgs in the US use 365. https://blogs.gartner.com/craig-roth/2021/07/30/should-microsoft-office-365-be-afraid-of-google-workspace-gartner-2020-market-share-report-says/ says Microsoft has “almost 90%”.

Heck, you can almost do cold welding right here. If you have two very, very flat metal parts, and press them together hard, just with your hands, you can get them to stick together.

The manufacturer identifies an issue with a vehicle, and “recalls” it to one of their service centers to fix it. Usually this is some defect in design or a part that needs to be corrected.
