When I take screenshots I paste them into mspaint. It seems to be one of the few things that can accept images from the clipboard and save them as PNG.
Powerful people don't like to be embarrassed nor have the world discover their incompetence. If you expose a powerful moron his position is at risk, and he'll take it as an attack. It's irrelevant for him that you were only trying to help.
I can believe it would vary greatly and it's really all anecdotal. I've lived and worked in big cities and the population density is big enough that there are lots of people to apply for jobs. And I've worked in small towns in the rust belt and there was a certain hunger for jobs (unemployment rate there was around 12% at the time). And when I say small town, it was big enough to have 3 fast food places and half a dozen stop lights. Food for thought I guess.
LiPo fires release a lot of nasty smoke, you'll have to deal with it while driving and a lid on it won't matter. I wouldn't want to have to drag the device to Apple's store, potentially have it go off while driving, and pay $100 on top of all of this for the repair.
For what it's worth, if it has already bubbled out it's not going to explode with any force. It will catch on fire eventually though, as soon as the deformed battery pack shorts out. I wouldn't want it near my face when it does, so it's useless as a phone in its current state.
Dispose of it as best you can if it is no longer under warranty, and take Apple to small claims court if you want to get your money back. You can refuse to transport a dangerous device, because that's illegal in most states. That plus pictures of the device and receipts and perhaps a log of the contacts you had with Apple should give you a chance in small claims. Even if you don't win you can be satisfied they had to pay a lawyer a few thousand dollars to take the time to deal with you.
I think it may be as simple as a supply and demand situation. In my field there isn't a very large number of people that do what I do, and ignoring the unqualified applications there are often only two to five candidates applying to a position. (I know because I have to give technical interviews) Notice the key here, "ignoring unqualified applications". Now imagine if every application is potentially qualified for the unskilled position. I'm sure your local fast food joint gets hundreds of applicants when a position opens up. And when a new store like Walmart, Home Depot, etc open up there are 50 or so positions and tens of thousands of people applying.
Why would I want to continue to work for a company that I disrespected to the point of bad-mouthing them?
Other people want to live a life without consequences for what they say. Probably because they have so little respect for themselves that they assume what they say doesn't matter to anyone.
That's the difference between civil and criminal law. Not reporting a crime is different than not reporting an actionable civil infraction. If you know for a fact that I failed to follow the UCC (Uniform Commercial Code), you are under no obligation to report that. If I say offer you $10/month to stay out of my business, and you report me, I don't have to pay you $10/mo any more because we no longer have a contract. If I gave you a lump sum, and it has to be returned on terminate of the contract with interest. Then that is maybe possible, but it starts to smell like a loan terms and not a contract with considerations.
What the contract is about really does matter. It's hard to make analogies because most of the examples in this thread aren't applicable to the same situations.
McD and others turn away the vast majority of applicants. It's damn tough to get a minimum wage job even if you have good references. And having a huge legal battle with your employer is not a good reference.
You should use whatever language interests you. It may be that your interest is academic, hobby or for a career. For my career, I need to know C and assembler (a few different architectures). That's what pays all my bills. For my hobby interest, there are lots more good options and I dabble in FORTH, Go, Lua, and some obscure stuff. None of my needs or interest match up with Python, but that's OK, popularity doesn't translate into interest. And popularity alone isn't a great indicator of commercial value, as you can make very good pay in something obscure like Erlang versus something more mainstream like Ruby.
And I get to take the day off if I can't access the internet from my location. Where as with a traditional application I am forced to work even if reliable internet access is not available.
It's easier for labs to accurately weigh out carbon or oxygen than it is for them to weigh out a proton. You want standards that are easy for others to reproduce, not standards based on an brand new experiment.
Wouldn't a change in our understanding a proton's mass also impact our theories about potential proton decay? (I hope they don't decay, and we mostly think they don't but we're not totally sure)
Spain doesn't operate in a bubble. They interact with the rest of the world. I cited two examples of countries that are different than Spain in order to contrast differences in culture, work ethic and business.
Maybe my comments would be irrelevant if Spain were isolationist or only traded with France and Italy.
Doesn't the old software still run on the old hardware. So why not continue to run old software. If you were happy with the features it had when you bought it, then that should be sufficient. You'll get another 5 years of security updates (Jan 2023) before you're really in any situation that I'd call being forced to throw out hardware.
You can't compete in the modern global market if you don't adopt the lowest possible standards. So you'll need to switch over to 55 hour work weeks, 2 or less weeks per year vacation, and no government healthcare. (US uses private insurance, for India it is typically paid out of pocket)

What will Pelosi's corporate masters think? They might break up the DNC in retaliation.
Or download Ubuntu, which is approximately 1/20th the size of VS2017.
I have no idea how you could go about changing that. It seems to have been a general problem that even the ancient Greeks wrote about.

Why do you think they are illegal? If each party gets something out of a contract, then it is usually binding.

Good luck when tech companies inject so much money into politics through lobbyists and campaign contributions. (both secret and not-so-secret)

Also, it's funny how you criticize that other countries have to adapt to the US while taking a story about Spain to talk about the US.
Am I criticizing other countries, or my own? (US)

To put an end to local governments and have one large national government with the power in the hands of a few elites in DC.
But if all my money is stolen, I can't buy any black market goods, so it doesn't have any value to me.
to be clear, Grishnakh put words in my mouth earlier in this thread, so I returned the favor.
