There's already addons that can recognize in-video sponsored content and skip, if youtube splices in ads into the video stream these addons will still work (although depending on how strict server side logic is, they may have to pause when the buffer runs out until the time of the ad length has passed)

As long as the naming pattern is distinct from important domains you can still block it based on pattern matching. They need to obfuscate ad domains and other hosting domains the same way.

Creating subdomains is quite fast because the request goes right through when it's unknown to caches, it's updates when you reuse existing ones that causes trouble with lag.

The problem is they have many different internal concepts with conflicting information and no mechanism for determining truthfulness or for accuracy or for pruning bad information, and will sample them all randomly when answering stuff

Not really anything properly universal, but a lot of task specific models exists with integration with logic engines and similar stuff. Performance varies a lot.

You might want to take a look at wolfram alpha's plugin for chatgpt for something that's public

Who had broad software and driver support?

But SMS still needs an upgrade, because it's not going to be killed of if there isn't a slot-in replacement, and so something has to take its role of being a messaging system where your carrier directly verifies your control of your phone number.

That's why RCS exists.

There were already rumors halfway between 10 and the release of 11 that they wanted to do it that way, making 10 the last "standalone" release version

That's not quite the definition of known plaintext attack (cryptography nerd here), that's bruteforce with a "crib" to use older terminology (known patterns which allows you to test candidate keys).

A known plaintext attack is defined as an attack on the algorithm to extract the key faster than bruteforce with analytical attacks.

... And since they're still good they can be resold and used by others where efficiency isn't the main concern, no need to trash them

This is nonsense and violates a few laws in plenty of places

Read again - for most other devices there are cheap and often some free administration tools that small businesses can use. And for many devices they can just reinstall them. But for Apple devices pretty much everything is expensive or very limited.
