Doesn't the human brain do what it does on like the same electricity as a lightbulb?

Yet "killing in the name of" remains unchanged.

What's interesting is that the DC Circuit doesn't allow authorities to force someone to unlock their device with biometrics. I'm assuming that Natanson's home is not inside the DC Circuit.

It's a legally unclear area right now whether or not authorities can force you to unlock your device with biometrics. As such, it's better not to use them: https://decentproject.org/should-you-use-biometrics-on-your-phone

Correct. Also permanent removal via 25th is actual harder than impeachment and removal because you will eventually need 2/3rds of each house of Congress. The 25th amendment is not a short circuit to impeachment.

What we need is Congress to signal to Trump a real, actual threat of impeachment. He would have to change course, and if he didn't then he should be removed

Wants to skip to the end. Does the declaration also include a declaration of war? That's what this will mean

Can't prosecute someone of they can just walk out of the state unimpeded

Yes you can. You could issue a warrant for the person. That has nationwide reach. Rittenhouse left Wisconsin but eventually stood trial there. Not sure what your issue is.

I've had an AIO for years and had no complaints, but I just bought a fan since AIO can fail more easily over time. There are more parts that can fail and water can eventually evaporate or break down the materials.

I think it depends on what the use case is. I'm using my PC as a sever that I want running 24/7. As such, I don't want fewer points of failure and I'm concerned about potential failures when I'm not home. Whereas, if it was just a gaming PC that I only turned on while I'm playing, I might care less as I'd be able to monitor it in person easier.

Food for thought.

Says it was filed in 2020. Was it previously under seal? What case is this from?

[–] collar@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Fair. But even though this is clearly a politically motivated prosecution, I'd rather see the system operate the way it's supposed to. The prosecutor shouldn't be able to cut corners, and the judge shouldn't take liberties.

If Halligan is the caliber of lawyer that Trump can get to bring these cases, then I think James will be fine.

Disagree. The answer is to dismiss without prejudice. The issue before the judge was, at its heart, whether the prosecutor had the legal authority to bring the indictment. The answer was no. As such, it's not up to the court to tell the government they cannot bring the case again in a proper manner from qualified prosecutor.

The beauty of the decision is that -- by issuing the order in this manner -- the government is screwed anyway because (unless they successfully appeal this decision) the statute of limitations has tolled on Comey's case,so even if Halligan or some other prosecutor were able to bring charges, the window to do so has closed. Case dismissed.

This is essentially dismissing with prejudice without prejudice. The case is over, at least for Comey, unless government is successful on appeal.

Trump admires this. He doesnt see Putin as an enemy, but an inspiration. Same reason MBS was welcomed the way he was at the White House, while people like Zelenskyy are mocked and scolded when they arrive.

 

I’m new to Android and was gifted a Razr Ultra. Apart from deleting Google apps and using alternate app stores, are these other things I can do to make the phone more privacy respecting? I’m coming from iPhone and I know Apple isn’t the best, but being on Android/Google makes me concerned about privacy.

As I understand it, GrapheneOS is not an option, and I didn’t see the phone on LineageOS device list.

Any ideas? What would you do (besides selling it for a Pixel to install Graphene lol)?

Happy to see a privacy-focused carrier, and it has better policies than any other carrier out there. But founder is formerly from Palantir and there’s a lot of VC money behind it (not inherently a problem, just flagging).

Thoughts?

Just updated to iOS 26 and a few hours later got this notice about “enchanted 5g” for some apps. I had no idea what it was, so I checked the details and saw that it was automatic enabled and shares info about what apps you use with Verizon. If it wasn’t for this notification I would have no idea this was running.

No thanks. Disable that.

Edit: “enchanted” lol. Meant enhanced.

 

I have a Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 12. The other day I noticed both of my USB-C ports are not receiving or sending data. External drives won't mount and my dock won't send signal to my monitor, but when I plug in my charging cable I am still getting power. When I use "lsblk" nothing shows up, even though sometimes I hear the chime signaling something has been plugged in (but it's inconsistent and sometimes doesn't chime).

Both of my USB-A ports are working properly and receive data, so it's only my USB-C ports.

I'm running Ubuntu 24.04.3. I tried to revert back to an earlier kernel in case that was the problem but it didn't fix the issue.

Anyone have a similar issue? Thanks!
