I wonder who would be best equipped to see if any of those keys are traceable to individuals involved in special government affairs lately? There have been some good leaks...

Users and (at least before the last run through the meat grinder) moderators.

Does anyone have any insight into if this a respin of the same Threads app from 2019 or just the same name? https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/10/03/threads-instagram-f...

It looks like only the name was reused. All the functionality in the previous Threads app is now in the main Instagram app.

Different app altogether.

That doesn't make any sense technically and sounds a lot like victim blaming.

It is far from certain that any application has such a "steady state", most of the ones I've worked on sure don't. There are obviously ways to analyze things and correlate enqueued and dequeues, but it is far from as simple and black and white as you suggest, especially with truly distributed systems and unknown cause of the reported behavior.

Heck, we don't even know if the messages are being "dropped" or just duplicated.

Generally somewhere between terrible and non-existent if you stick with Fire OS. They will drop occasional small patch releases with broken links to non-existent release notes.

If you're using the Fire Toolkit you actually will probably not want FireOS updates until you've read the latests posts about how they do or do not affect your customizations.

True, now they are just used against you in the press when they get released one way or another, legally or not.

Then, the entire point for some lawsuits existing is to set the stage for that information to come out for no good legal reason.

You can think of it as legal hacking.

I regret writing that last sentence.

Even Google can't solve all the downsides of things being in the cloud.

Or they at least want you to think that.

This is an area where recycling probably happens. The ink costs far less than the cartridge, And it's not too hard to make a refillable cartridge.

It's unlikely HP would bother with the envelopes if it wasn't cheaper for them then building new cartridges.

If $(perceived PR value of pretending to recycle) - $(envelopes) < $(marginal cost of making cartridges actually recyclable) then you can bet they are going straight in the dumpster.

This ignores that there are options besides the envelopes.

If they were just going to throw them away, they'd do something like team up with Best Buy to have an cartridge recycling bin available. Most of the PR value at a fraction of the cost.

Actually sending prepaid envelopes means they're probably recycling them.

Indeed. I am sure there are lots of things under development, I have little knowledge in the area but I ran across this video the other day which suggests refueling and rearming via drone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNLCa6isqJA

No idea how far between concept and reality that is and obviously this is a whole different class of vehicle than a tank.

Not any more. https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2022/03/amazon-ec... In theory. But yes, sometimes detaching resources can take a long time on a degraded host.
