That’s what Passpoint (aka Hotspot2)’s Online Sign Up is supposed to do. Main network is protected by WPA2/3-Enterprise (aka EAP), and there’s the OSU open network where you can get signed up and get a profile installed for the full main network. And every modern device supports EAP these days.

But then you have to live in Atlanta...

Note: I’m currently visiting my parents in Atlanta from Seattle and, by god, is it miserably hot here.

That’s the point of the American Rule - every side pays their own way.

The closest analogy would be that you gave me your house key so I could go in and water your plants while you’re on vacation (signing up for an account), but someone grabbed the key off my counter because I left my back door unlocked. The folks who had their information leaked in this instance had signed up for accounts with C1.
Nope, the point of Azure in Ireland is to increase availability and decrease latency for EU clients. Microsoft challenged a warrant in 2013 to hand over emails stored in Ireland, but the SCOTUS vacated the rulings since it was moot by the CLOUD act of 2018, which allows the government to get data from US companies, no matter where the data physically is.

War against open source? They’re the largest corporate contributor to open source, they’ve open sourced a ton of projects, including XAML and .NET Core (which is also now cross platform), and they joined the Open Source Initiative. If you honestly believe 2019 Microsoft is anti-open source, you’re living in the past.
If the law is believed to be unconstitutional, a US company can fight it in court. Otherwise, the company is required to comply with all laws applicable in the jurisdictions they operate. If there is a conflict, the US law has highest authority.

In this case, if GitHub EU is owned by Microsoft, a US company, GitHub EU still must follow US rules. On the flip side, while GitHub EU must follow GDPR, GitHub US would not be required to do so.

Is that a “best by”, “sell by”, or “use by” on the bread? Usually I’ll see one of the first two on bread. Shortly after that, it starts to get stale.

Like I said, Summon will immediately stop the car if it detects even the slightest bump.

But the definition of "cyberwarfare" is unclear.

If Russia declared war on the US, and attacked US companies, it's pretty clear this is cyberwarfare.

If Anonymous DDoS's your website of some vendetta, because they declared "war" on your company, is that cyberwarfare? Does a declaration of war by a non-nation-state count as cyberwarfare?

If North Korea compromised your servers to mine Bitcoin, is that cyberwarfare? Does any action by a nation-state count as cyberwarfare?

I have a tough time believing this.

1. You're telling me you had a vehicle up on a lift, by its wheels, and there was no chuck or gates to stop the vehicle from rolling?

2. I'm assuming you're saying the customer used "Summon" to remotely move the car. a. Summon will immediately stop the car if it detects even the slightest bump. b. Summon will immediately stop the car if it detects the wheels are off the ground, which is relevant because: c. Summon moves the vehicle at like 3mph, so even if the vehicle was AWD, since most of the weight (which is distributed throughout the vehicle) is still over the lift, there is definately not enough momentum to push it off the lift. d. I am fairly doubtful the auto insurance would not cover this, especially if the guy had comprehensive insurance.
