These days I only accept prophecies of impending doom if they are backed by two-factor authentication.
It's the only way to be sure, to be sure.

Prime 400! That brings back memories; we only had a 350 (IIRC). 6 char userids. Our dept used person's initials and surname truncated to 6 chars - that generated some amusing / rude nicknames. Can't remember my password - it was ~40 years ago.

It was my first, and I typed it a lot - it's a bit like your first car / bike registration number. I remember that as well: XUD28J - a Honda CD175 that was reasonably knackered when I got it, and a whole load more knackered when I got rid of it ...

Wear a T-shirt reading "Official Government Meteorite Target"?
They can never hit anything
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
--Winston Churchill

Any surprises in these numbers: per-cent of revenue spent on research of major-majors: [^] ? Spoiler: the number for Apple surprised me.
Graphic link taken from a very interesting article in the Wall Street Journal, [^] : "The Antitrust Case Against Facebook, Google and Amazon," published Jan. 16.
Note: I don't subscribe to WSJ, but, I often can read the full-text of articles; sometimes they limit what they allow me to read, but, there's never any notification of the usual type : "You have reached your limit of ... for the month of ..." fyi: I am almost always hooked up by VPN to a server in the US when I access the site.
«... thank the gods that they have made you superior to those events which they have not placed within your own control, rendered you accountable for that only which is within you own control For what, then, have they made you responsible? For that which is alone in your own power—a right use of things as they appear.» Discourses of Epictetus Book I:12

I may understood it wrong, but what I've got of it that Apple holds 54% of the mobile market?
Something is very wrong with that number (and probably with all the others) as every site I know of reports an under 15% share for Apple in mobile market...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
