Which law?

I ask, because many times people point to the first amendment for things like this, but that doesn't apply here.

The reason this needs to be illegal is because jamming the signal is not specific to you. You block your signal but you probably will also be blocking it for anyone else in the vicinity. Plus the way these things work they can create interference for other types of signals as well. It isn't the blocking itself that's illegal, but the interference that you're causing.

Also this was a simple search away. Please do the simple searching yourself from now on.

Please don't post one word comments and then get annoyed when someone asks you to elaborate.

That's a great article. This part towards the end really stood out:

Based on an analysis of district juvenile justice referral data we received from Brownsville ISD, the district police made 3,102 student arrests over a period of roughly two and half years from May 2021 to November 2023. That’s 135 arrests per month in the school year. Fifty-nine percent of those arrests were for felony changes.

Of those arrests, 3.5 percent were for elementary school-aged children. From the beginning of the prior school year to November 3 this year, there have been 76 arrests of students 10 to 11 years old. Charges for terroristic threats accounted for 20 percent of those arrests. Most, 66 percent, were felony charges. There were no charges for aggravated assault for this age group.

I was curious so I looked up how large the district is and they have almost 38,000 students. . Such a large district puts those numbers into perspective a little bit but that still seems unbelievable.

As a similar comparison, Microsoft was found to be in violation of antitrust laws with internet explorer even though everyone could pretty much install any browser they wanted to on Windows.

In legal proceedings, statements like this are allegations. They are not considered to be true or factual until proven in court. You'll see the word allegedly used even if it seems very obvious that someone did something because that is the correct way to report it.

OP didn't make an incorrect statement though. What they stated was an important part of the equation. I think a lot of people don't take that type of thing into account and they will read what this post says and assume that Pfizer should be charging $13, or maybe something pretty close like 15 or 20. Clearly 1400 is far far too high, 13 is too low. A reasonable price allows the manufacturer to be successful while not gouging consumers lies somewhere in between, but much much closer to the low end than the high. To me that's really what the person you are responding to is giving evidence for.

If your MFA is bound to a single device and you have no backup then you're doing it wrong.

There are places that have on demand busses rather than fixed routes.

Why not do both?

Chrome doesn't behave that way for me. It uses my DNS settings correctly and ads are blocked. I can't remember it ever not behaving, though I usually use Firefox.
