The real question is: did this comic usher Marvel Comics into on to new "plateau of greatness"?

Follow-up question: who is the big man? ??

Its viewed as such.

The control of fire by early humans was a critical technology enabling the evolution of humans.

Aren't those just standard door knobs?

Exactly, those two are pretty standard.options.

As far as door latches go the cross bar and draw bolts probably predate it by thousands of years but I don't use those regularly.

As physical tech:

  • we have lever door handles at work and wheel and axle door knobs at home.

As digital tech:

  • Comma Separated Values as a notation predates computers. Then CSV has been used as a computer file format at least since one of the Fortran variants added support in 1972.

  • The implementation has changed as filesystems evolve but the basic directory/file model of data storage and the associated tools ls/dir, cd, rm/del have been around a while. ls has been known by that name since Multics in 1969, but can trace its lineage back to listfon CTSS in 1961.

Anything that predates copy/paste is doing alright.

The feature only appears if both devices in the conversation have it.

I always thought of SMS as a bit like regular mail. (i.e. the message handed to the network with some addressing label with no feedback for the sender)

But this implies that there is some kind if handshake occurring between the devices, how does it really work?

lost revenue

You can be sure this is retail only.

Enterprise Windows won't have this feature and now appears to have added value for corporate customers.

You can always just check that a carriers bands are supported by the hardware yourself.

"Epic’s filing to the US Federal Court shows again that it simply wants the benefits of Google Play without having to pay for it," Google's spokesperson said. "We’ll continue to challenge the verdict, as Android is an open mobile platform that faces fierce competition from the Apple App Store, as well as app stores on Android devices, PCs, and gaming consoles."

Is this the mocking? Its not a very good mocking!

Account status and points totals could be viewed as essential communication.

I used a service that used email as MFA, but they also used the same mail service for marketing. When I opted out of marketing they stopped sending me my login emails :/
