Alexa now offers house wide voice broadcasting. Basically a consumer version of overhead paging.

It doesn't totally break it, my 3rd still works with a displaylink adapter but it only works in clone mode for my main monitor (it's freaking annoying, and turned off right now).
I called Apple support on this yesterday for my clients and myself and it should be taken care of soon (who knows if that is correct or not but that is what AppleCare is saying right now).
Yeah, that was what I saw as well and experienced here.

Actually it is Zuckerberg's mindset.
Technology is good period. Shove it out there as fast as possible, and when something bad results, handle it then, but the benefits of the mad push to deploy tech overrides anything else.

DHS calls those that are critical of their media-monitoring databases conspiracy theorists.
Again with injecting your own bias on a headline.
Stop doing it or stop reporting it as “news” and call it click bait.

That’s just one part of the article, it has another part of why they do it or how they defended it.
