They don’t want you to pay. They set the price artificially high to discourage you so they continue business as usual while complying to the laws. The price is a PITA charge to make it worth their while and to still profit from the ads they would have shown you.
Interesting. So 7 AT&T and Verizon customers are suing T-Mobile because AT&T and Verizon were keeping their prices lower because of the competition from T-Mobile and Sprint. Once T-Mobile merged with Sprint, AT&T and Verizon RAISED THEIR PRICES and these customers didn’t switch to T-Mobile but instead are suing them for not having low enough prices? That’s insane that this is getting this far.
Baker’s testimony shows that Mozilla depends so much on its deal with Google for revenue that “the biggest loser of a DOJ win in the Google case would be Mozilla.”
Ding ding ding ding!! It’s telling that this announcement came out after it was disclosed that Google pays Apple 18-20 BILLION A YEAR to be the default search engine on IOS. Spez is trying to tap into that.
Well no shit. This person used their position in academia to spam out a newsletter of their political affiliation to the student body. The offer was rescinded because the law firm saw that they don’t know or follow proper etiquette in positions of supposedly unbiased positions. This person will likely not be proper legal counsel to individuals or companies they might not personally see eye to eye.

The only thing that COULD make sense is that OP is referencing household income and the article is reporting average American. I could see some mental gymnastics to get a household average of 101915 with some data points that are missing when the average household consists of 90% 2 adults. But yea, you are correct I didn’t see the $101,915 mentioned either.
My parents were driving to the beach for vacation. Their car broke down in a small city just under 100 miles from their destination and about 250 miles from home. It’s under warranty, but the nearest dealership is 50 miles away (in a completely different direction than either home or the beach), and of course neither a...
If it’s under warranty, then the manufacture will cover towing to the nearest dealer and if they are outside of the range, to the nearest qualified mechanic. Hard stop, call the warranty company and have them hash it out.
Just imagine, this ONE company out of the hundreds if not thousands pulling this same shit are brought into compliance (and by compliance, I mean what they ethically should be paying in taxes), then how much good we COULD be doing as a nation. I say that but also have no doubts that the elected officials will just use it as their personal piggy bank to fund their friends companies.

Ubiquiti is who I chose. Everything is self hosted, no service fees, good quality equipment and no extra frees for remote maintenance. The motion and AI detections work very well and of course all the products integrate seamlessly into their UniFi network equipment…BUT it’s more a whole network approach than just cameras.
