Yeah, abjectly hate conversation view.

Web search used to be about scraping the web to find and present other people's work as just that... their work. Now the handful of websites claim ownership of the contributions of everyone, and at this point it's just corporations arguing about who owns your stuff. Pirates will not win out in this argument, except maybe in the very short term.

I've read that human skin particles make up a significant portion of household dust.

.... Are you a robot?

Logitech mice always get better with age, they give you extra clicks for free with each touch of the button!

Doesn't sound like a design flaw, it's the whole point, only reason you need a cancellation portal.

To be fair, that thing could wreck her face if it got defensive (or hungry they'll happily eat whatever if it's small and accessible) and went for a chomp.

If the goal of this meme was to start a discussion pointing out all of the shortcomings or nuclear or was very successful.

Plenty of benefits, but pretty far from problem free.

When can we start talking about fusion again?

Predates the 8086, truly a marvel of the transition point of biological to mechanical engineering.

And literally everything else and cramming it into one universe

That's skipping over the fact that recovering deleted data, even if it isn't overwritten, is not an "oops". It it takes extra effort, and if that data isn't being protected it would be overwritten incidentally as drives are used.

There is a big difference in a database between "flagging" data and actually removing the association of the data to the database.

The article is being disingenuous about data not being deleted unless it's overwritten with 1's and 0's. Technically that's true, but:

Most data being deleted is equivalent to a piece of paper being placed in a trashcan, and it's "permanently" deleted when that trash gets hauled away to a landfill (or supposedly recycling but that's another topic). Technically it's still forensically accessible, but it isn't accessible by any normal means. That piece of paper may not have been incinerated, but for the majority of practical purposes, it's gone.

Apple never hauled the trash away, even though they claimed they did. There should be no way for them to accidentally restore those photos, just like there's no way for you to accidentally get a piece of paper back in your trash bin after it's been sent to a landfill.

Focusing on the 1s and 0s skips past the fact they failed to complete the first, obvious, essential step. If they didn't delete it the simple way, they would never have gotten to the 1s and 0s step. This isn't just a simple oversight, and those pictures were still very easily accessible, just not to the people who should have been in control of them.

Eh, or they just don't want a forever history stored on their own computer any more than they want it stored on someone else's computer.
