And I just tested it on my phone, and my claim is true. iPhone 15, latest OS version. Happens every single time.
Verified my wife’s phone behaves identically to mine. WiFi turned off via settings stays off after a reboot.

Are you able to leave it off for a few days and see if it magically turns back on without you touching it?
No, I don't have a spare phone.

In addition, even if you go into the settings app and turn off wifi (which is supposed to be an actual disabling, unlike toggling the wifi in the quick access menu, which is automatically undone after a certain amount of time), it will be turned on again the next time the device reboots.
I just tested this on my iPhone, and kibwen’s claim is false. The wifi remained disabled after a reboot.

I really don't understand the severity of criminal justice system punishment. SBF got sentenced to 25 years for a white collar financial crime while a guy in my hometown hit and killed 2 people, while DUI and ran over 100mph on a local street with 35mph limit got 26 months sentence forb2 vehicular homicide.
Vehicular deaths are almost always under prosecuted in the US.
This does not mean that it should be legal to defraud people of billions of dollars, ruin countless lives, and harm many more.
This is a rare case where a white collar crime was appropriately punished. Sam showed no remorse, and no evidence that he would not engage in similar crimes in the future. He earned this time.
Hopefully he’ll reform and be worthy of early release; but candidly I doubt it. I think he’s irredeemable.

Cashiers in brick and mortar stores can enter card details manually. You've never had a card reader break and then had the cashier have to type it in by hand?
I have never convinced a cashier to use digits provided by me or off my phone screen. That is fundamentally different from getting them to manually enter a card.
But I understand you’re making irrelevant bad faith comments, because you’re too weak to admit that you were wrong about something unimportant.
kibwen, learn to take an L.

You don't need a digital wallet app to do this, either. Plenty of credit card companies let you generate burner numbers to avoid giving out your real number.
EDIT: Would someone like to explain why this is downvoted? This statement is objectively true; for example, Capital One calls these "virtual card numbers".
Because you can’t use those burner numbers to make brick and mortar purchases.
Your assertion was objectively false.

The video is surreal, it looks like it barely bumps the bridge and 2 seconds later the entire thing is gone. I don't know what I was expecting, the bridge just looked extremely fragile, makes me wonder what other bridges are at risk of an event like this.
That ship had a 10,000 TEU capacity and was actually hauling a little under 5,000 TEUs. An empty container weighs a little over 5,000lbs, and a full one can be up to 67,000lbs.
If you do the math, you find that it’s just an astronomical amount of momentum, and there’s no effective defense for a bridge that needs support in more than 30 or so feet of water.
