And now... If you have a problem with other people posts... just ignore them.
But due to your 3 nitpicky posts and my "same bullshit again" answers, the thread of this news item DOES is hijacked with an actual unrelated discussion. And that's really not relevant to a technical code forum.

So next time, instead of start hijacking a thread with valueless complain messages... do us all a favor and keep them to yourself and report the message you were going to answer as irrelevant or complain in the B&S to the hamsters.

Sorry... but as someone said the other day... if I have to pay with my data to use something for free in the internet, I prefer to have my data exploited by only one company.
Additionally, I have a personal problem with Meta. Pity for TomTom, I have liked their products for long, but I think I'll pass on this, at least for a good while.

Yep, and the FCC originally had SpaceX's StarLink system in their rural internet initiative but removed it under pressure from other satellite internet companies as well as traditional cable (phone and TV) companies. Of course those legacy companies still haven't stepped up to provide service.

If you’re a developer familiar with the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) architecture, you know it’s a popular choice for building applications. However, it comes with its challenges, especially when it comes to boilerplate code and threading issues.

If something went wrong behind the scene... yes.
If the user did wrong... I prefer to catch it up first myself and perform something defined. I find it easier to follow the flow.
