    Bought new iPad Mini from Verizon - came with MDM on it

    Thanks for all the responses. I took it to a Verizon corporate store. They, of course, couldn't do anything. But they also didn't have any in stock. I ended up having them cancel the whole order and do a return for the Mini. Then I bought a WiFi only model at Best Buy, which was on sale...

    Is there any software that is an extra wall of security (against hackers) on iphone14 pro max?

    The chance of an iPhone getting "hacked" is extremely low. The chance of a user having a second iPhone get "hacked" seems extremely unlikely. Something else is going on. If the Genius Bar cannot validate the "issue" you are having with your phone(s), then it's likely, again, that something...

    Elon Musk rumored to fire 50% of Twitter staff as pressure mounts for those who remain

    The WARN Act comes into play in this situation due to the quantity of employees fired/laid off/let go. The 60 days severance is an attempt (probably a successful one) to avoid WARN Act penalties.

    Elon Musk rumored to fire 50% of Twitter staff as pressure mounts for those who remain

    People losing their jobs for no reason certainly is NOT a joke. Whether you personally use the service or not, these are real people whose lives have been severely impacted.
