I'm going to assume they are referring to any cloud backups of said devices. Since they are stored on servers managed by not you and are unencrypted, able to be accessed for "national security reasons".
The amount of money that has been floating around since 2020 has really exasperated the demand in the Rolex market. Dealers have been playing the "exclusive" game with customers pretending like stock is limited because of the popularity of the watches and the willingness for customers to pay above MSRP in the gray market. There has been a lot of talk recently on the web that this is starting to cool and the dealers will go back to selling to whoever wants to buy one.
Don't worry, Republicans are hard at work making the USA a pariah state and turning away the educated migrants who've been behind most of the innovation and research of past decades.
The US has benefited quite a bit by being a magnet for some of the most educated and driven people from around the world. This is not a controversial take.
Now, legal resident noncitizens are being deported for having political views that oppose the ruling executive party. This is not normal in the US.
Immigration is a double edge sword. Sure, it brings highly educated people on the top end, but also less educated at the bottom curve.
and on balance it changes demographics dramatically, that also shapes US policy in the future. It will be harder for USA to continue to be bloody warmongering machine with Military industrial complex dictating the policy and bombing countries and blowing up civilians around the world.
That's not necessarily a good thing. Do the New Americans want the same things as the pre-existing ones? Are they as capable? Not just "in a few generations" but here and now? Are they even likely to be as capable "in a few generations"?
If the statistics aren't very wrong, it doesn't seem like a solution.
by all statistics, it is Americans that make the life in the USA insufferable: corrupt politicians, oligarchs, lobbyists, party leaders, and criminals (the ones that sell drugs and shoot people).
go to any county/state jail and try to find a single H-1B visa holder there... its all home grown foundational Americans, raised on McDonalds and Coke
Amazing. All of this truly wild, impressive technology and some of the absolute best engineers in the world, just to shove more ads in people's eyeballs. Sigh.
The tragedy of our times is that some of our brightest minds are working tirelessly, not to cure diseases or to explore the stars, but to improve the probability that someone will click on an ad by 0.1%.
Take it up with capitalism and with DARPA. If we could earn $700k doing cool science shit in white shirts and black ties for Uncle Sam like our grandfathers maybe we would.

If only which that were true, it is more like building our own digital prison.
Not really. They dosed rats with amounts that no consumer or even an agricultural worker can receive (120 days of 1.75 mg/kg) and observed no real difference in most of readouts.
And a sidenote, a murine model study with less than 100 specimens in each group is trash-tier, unless the effect is on the level of "We tested it on animals, and none of them survived".
This is cool. I always knew that Matrix could theoretically support anything chat related, but I had no idea that Beeper existed and a company was formed around the idea. This is actually exciting to me. It sounds stupid, but I can't wait to ditch the Apple ecosystem.
I feel like the primary issue is the charging network and range. Tesla makes up for its lack of range with an extremely robust network. It doesn't seem like Ford is doing anything to reassure customers they will be able to charge their truck while on a road trip. Americans love to drive. You can get a ICE F-150 with a 35 gallon fuel tank, which will get you 500 miles of highway range. If you tell someone that the Lightning will only get 200 miles of range on the highway, generally they will find that amusing and make some sort of comment about how they don't want the government to force them to buy electric vehicles.
