Not for breaking supply and demand. There's a national security reason for keeping minimum general foodstuff production in the country, but the result definitely should not be subsidising a product that locally isn't actually wanted.
The USA is free anytime to export these products to the EU, they just have to be produced in line with EU standards. It is a totally reasonable expectation.
They do, and it's a premium product here. It's quite funny when Americans come over here and complain about the price of imported USA beef in the supermarket, and then are amazed at how wonderful it tastes.
but I think there's a lot of hubris on Microsoft's
Actually I think the hubris is on Apple's side for daring to market the iPad pro as a replacement for a computer and then shipping an OS that isn't more worthy than the title of "toy for the rich".
Why the fuck hasn't Apple allowed bluetooth mice at least on an application-specific basis?
Their "computer replacement device" is designed to be used by touching the screen, even the "Pro" version. That should tell you everything about Apple's approach to serious work.
I'll bet you a dollar that if you disable the app it'll free up hundreds of MB from your phone. Due to the frequency of Facebook app updates phone vendors don't typically ship a functional app with their OS image, instead just a shell app which causes the actual app to be downloaded from the Play Store when the Google account is first added. Disabling not only prevents an app from loading and hides it from the menu, but it also deletes any downloaded updates and prevents it from interacting with the Play Store.
I use Facebook, but on my phone I use Facebook Lite, along with disabling the main Facebook app this literally freed up around 230MB.
then after a reboot or a few months go by and they all become magically enabled again
Sounds very much like your reboot included a full system update. There's no other functionality in Android that magically causes apps to not be disabled other than a new system image.
keep the "blame America" for all the worlds problems alive an running.
Well you're the world police, the greatest country ever, and the most powerful country which can do what you please with all your military might. So maybe it's time you actually took responsibility for the world since you constantly claim to.
The theft had zero effect on the value of your pocket or what you can buy. When a crypto-currency exchange gets hacked (aka robbed), the value of what you own can tumble.
This isn't to do with the nature of the crypto-currency as much as it is to do with the supply and demand curve in terms of total trading volume for crypto currencies. If they were used as much as the dollar is then any hack wouldn't have any effect on the price either,.... and the currency wouldn't be as volatile either.
Really? Have you missed the numerous stories of Windows 10 updates doing truly horrendous things to people's systems, including but not limited to losing data and causing them to fail to boot at all?
Have you missed the numerous stories of that applying to people using Windows 10 applying large feature updates on day of release, and those updates being held within a matter of days? Every version of windows allows you to delay feature updates for a small period of time. Windows 10 Pro will let you do it for a year after the release of the stable business ready branch.
Do you regularly screw cheap hookers without using a condom as well? Personally I don't like to live dangerously and chose not to using the tools at my disposal.
I find Windows 10 needs to restart a hell of a lot.
Linux has to restart a hell of a lot too, people just don't do it and happily ignore the fact that major distros release kernel security patches every few weeks. Windows just forces is the issue.
It will wake the machine up in the middle of the night just to restart without asking.
An OS is incapable of waking the computer from its off state unless you allow it through through the BIOS.
that windows keeps installing on my user's machines, despite being told not to in Group Policy. Or re-assigning the default browser away from Edge
If you spend 30% of your time on this you're doing something VERY wrong. Candy crush is installing on your computer? What are you doing wrong? Certainly I've never seen it on any computer managed by group policy, and disabling it is controlled by a simple setting on Windows 10 Pro. Likewise the Edge default seems to only reset during feature updates. How frequently do you re-install windows / apply updates that are only released twice a year to even rank the Edge thing as an annoyance? And if it's that frequent why haven't you scripted resetting it?
Here most of us know how truly ridiculous your claims are.
Only those of us here that are completely blind to the needs / wants of end users make that claim. Plenty of others (myself included) use Linux without ever considering recommending to many people for precisely the reason the GP claims.
We get it. You are a nerd like the rest of us. You need to learn that this means you don't actually represent the needs of the 99% out there. We are the 1%.
Your download speed and the actual capabilities of your modem and tower under ideal conditions are not the same thing.
Also isn't 5G effectively IMT-2020 by definition and the whole idea of achieving the same speeds outside of the frequency range defined in IMT-2020 is the reason why 5G-NR has it's own name?
5G-NR may not have the same speed but it does share common capabilities with 5G (IMT-2020) as far as I understand it anyway. The same cannot be said for LTE-A Pro
Except it is in every way. Prevents the app from running, prevents it from displaying, and prevents any other app from accessing it, the app being part of a read only image and therefore unable to be physically deleted. In addition the app shipped with a phone is a non-functioning shell taking up a few MB. It is not Facebook, and Facebook itself downloads from the Play store the first time you start the phone. Using the disabling function deletes this download and prevents it from re-occuring.

There's a very good national security reason:

It's also missing the obvious. You are virtue signalling not saving people by deciding to not do the task.
If a job can be automated, someone will do it. Quitting will not prevent this.
6 percent margin is plenty for a mass manufactured product. The tech industry is so greedy.
No it's not. Not for a product that is shared between people and bought rarely. TVs don't have the sales numbers you think they do.
Because they are truly utter garbage TVs.
Slashdot's "U.S. sux" article du jour.
After reading TFS and your comment I come to the conclusion you are incredibly insecure on behalf of your country.
And you actually believe it works?
Nope, I verify that it does. Belief is for religious nuts.

What makes you think Apple is interested in serious work? If they were the iPad pro wouldn't be running iOS.
If not, "Thanks but no thanks"
Have you not bought a CPU since 2007 or are you not aware that every vendor has an ME equivalent running beside their main processor?
It works just fine. Having an irrelevant bug doesn't make it not work, in fact it works quite a bit faster for having it.
is subsidizing one of the most evil governments of all time
Holy fuck are you in desperate need of both perspective and a history lesson.

With SSD's being around $100 for a samsung 256gb drive
Can you tell me how I can install one of those in my glued together tablet?
Personally I like getting work done without stupid mess around. You know how to do that? Just run the damn OS I need.
But I get it. The Linux crowd does gravitate towards a solution that is as difficult and convoluted as possible.
Really? Have you missed the numerous stories of Windows 10 updates doing truly horrendous things to people's systems, including but not limited to losing data and causing them to fail to boot at all?

disablement is not 'acting' like its deleted.
Except it is in every way. Prevents the app from running, prevents it from displaying, and prevents any other app from accessing it, the app being part of a read only image and therefore unable to be physically deleted. In addition the app shipped with a phone is a non-functioning shell taking up a few MB. It is not Facebook, and Facebook itself downloads from the Play store the first time you start the phone. Using the disabling function deletes this download and prevents it from re-occuring.
So yes, it acts in every way like its deleted.
