Let's not forget that App Store search ads replaced iAds, which was an in-app ad network. I assume that it was shut down because of too much competition in the space, but perhaps we'll see it come full circle as Apple diminishes the "effectiveness" of third-parties.

I see. Thank you for the correction.

It's actually been there for a long time. It's a separate tab in "Users & Groups" pre-Ventura.

No problem! I went to the wikipedia article you linked and didn't see any mention of the video rental records, so I got curious and tried to look it up and couldn't find anything until I looked up the privacy act, which led me to Bork. That was the only reason I was curious how the two were mistaken as I am not knowledgeable in the slightest about these things. I just like to trek down the rabbit holes others provide and try to pay it forward with any corrections I stumble upon.

So thanks for the rabbit hole!

Slight correction; it was not John Tower (and I'm curious how you mistook the two), it was Robert Bork. He was nominated for the Supreme Court by Ronald Reagan. His video rental history was obtained by Michael Dolan. His nomination was rejected by the Senate, but it wasn't necessarily over his video rental history because the videos he rented were entirely unremarkable. However, it brought up questions of privacy and resulted in the Video Privacy Protection Act of 1988.

EDIT: I should add that accessing his video rental history was used as an example and a counter to Bork's own anti-privacy position, which is probably the real reason his nomination was rejected (although I can't say for sure since I'm no expert in this stuff and this all happened before I was even born)

You'll find the info at the following link under the "U.S. Supreme Court Nomination" section:

All are true except Elite: Dangerous. It’s available on both Xbox One and PS4 and both consoles have joysticks available, which E:D supports.

It's 1920x1080 for both the Librem 13 & 15. You can find it by scrolling down to the side-by-side comparison on the following page:

I'd definitely recommend the Dell XPS 13 if you're going to be paying that much. It has great linux support.
