Someone at the airlines came to the decision that it would be cheaper to pay out death benefits and buy a new, replacement airplane than pay for the "extras" which would have prevented the crash.
I'm pretty sure neither Wilbur nor Orville Wright had either system and it didn't stop them from taking off and landing in a (for the time) safe manner.
The airline knew these options existed. They knew they were "extras", in the same manner someone looking to buy a new Subaru knows the Eyesight system is an extra (or was when I bought my 2019 Legacy) yet they had meetings, debated the cost benefits, and ultimately chose NOT to buy the otpions which could have prevented the accident.
If Google took Android security seriously, they'd add a lot more permissions, and they'd make default permission setting "lie to the app and tell it that it has the permission it requested, and then just let it fail silently / return all zeros."
In this case, the app could believe it has clipboard access, but it just never sees any events. If the user truly wants the app to have this unsafe permission, they can go in and click through some "warning: this is dangerous" menu and give the app the actual permission.
I'd write an app that does this but it would need access to the clipboard...
I'm not sure they reversed entropy either. I thought that wasn't actually possible (much like time travel).
Everything in physics is reversible, though you have to reverse polarity and chirality when you reverse time.
Importantly, entropy works the same in both directions. A system in a state of low entropy will probably increase in entropy in both directions in time!
Here's an example. The classic example of entropy is that an egg breaking seems natural, but an broken egg re-assembling itself is so unlikely as to seem impossible. But the change in entropy in breaking an egg is tiny compared to the change in entropy in digesting an egg. So what are the odds of an egg re-assembling itself from CHON atoms? Well, it happens so often we have a name for the process: chicken.
When played "forward" in time, a chicken uses energy to reduce entropy to form an egg, and that energy is released when the egg is digested. Played "backwards" in time, once again energy is used to reduce entropy to form an egg, and that energy is released in the chicken.
tldr: like everything else in physics, entropy looks about the same "backwards".
Everything in Physics is reversible if you have an Eraser, too

"Google knows where you are, physically, every second of every day."
Only if you leave your wifi and location services on but why would I do that?
So Google knows where you are, physically, every second of every day you insensitive clod!

You didn't jump onto the Windows ME bandwagon?
I was saving up for Vista ;)
Basic --> CP-642Bravo (Assembly) --> AN/UYK7&AN/UYK43 (Using CMS-2Y) --> VAX VMS --> Unix --> Minux --> DOS 3.0 --> DOS 3.1 --> DOS 4.0 --> DOS 4.01 --> DOS 5 --> Win 3.0 --> Win3.1 --> Win95 --> Win NT3.5 --> Win98 --> Win2000 --> WinXP --> Win Vista --> Win 7 --> Win 8.0 --> Win8.1 --> Win10

I prefer Win98
These already have fixes in place for the recently announced vulnerabilities...unlike Intel.
