It depends on port of entry. The ninth circuit, which covers San Francisco, has upheld that entrants can refuse to provide a phone pin, but other circuits have found differently.
So odd that this happened in California because there’s a pretty powerful set of protections in place in the ninth circuit specifically - not that the current admin gives a shit about the law.
This is hilariously plausible. Someone SCUBA down to Gabe and give him the idea.
I have all these odd pauses in my speech and just realized they’re em dashes.
Wasn’t it also just reported a few weeks ago that Samsung installs Israeli spyware on android devices sold in MENA?

I have my mom’s 1967 edition with recipes for muskrat and opossum! And as the spine has completely disintegrated on that one, I also have a newer copy without the instructions on how to prepare small game. Still a kitchen staple.
I recommend picking up an analog, wood pulp-based copy of The Joy of Cooking. Pretty much any classic western dish is in there and you don’t need to worry about AI slop.
I also love my copy of The Food Lab by J. Kenji Lopez-Alt. That one is a little more global, and has I think 500+ pages of recipes with minimal irrelevant anecdotes.
Every time anyone rejects Microsoft’s shitty bloatware/spyware it’s a win. I just converted a few months ago. Win11 is going to push more and more people away.
Basically the slogan for the 2020s
I work in a high power field and we straight up cancel projects because we get quoted six year lead times more and more often. We can’t absorb the lost revenue.
There are some places that have grown so quickly, like downtown Denver, that capacity is just completely tapped out. And you either pay millions for feeder upgrades that won’t be ready until 2032 or you just move on.
Sometimes we ride in on the coattails of a data center that pays for the upgrades and leaves a few MW left over, but even electric service equipment never had its lead times fall since the pandemic. Projects that used to take eight months now take two years or longer. Not an easy time to be agile.
Heck, the present is ublock origin!
Amazon recommended me a book by Charlie Kirk. I guess the algorithm hasn’t got me yet.
Victory speech was a banger. Quoted Eugene Debs, told Cuomo to go enjoy private life, proudly declared himself a socialist, and told everyone not to expect an apology.
I’ve also used it successfully for those kinds of special cases - particularly translating complicated medical documents back and forth to Japanese due to my wife’s treatment.
But I think the caution here is overreliance. Using it in a university setting, where you feed it everything you were supposed to read and understand, and having it write down all the analysis that you were meant to analyze, and what have you personally gained as a result? The article cites students who couldn’t even recall what they’d “written” after submitting an assignment.
You can use it as a tool, or you can use it as a crutch. If you outsource your whole thought process to a computer, I can see the detriment.
I actually went with Tuxedo OS, which is based on the Ubuntu kernel but has a very noob-friendly desktop environment.
My daily driver laptop is a 12-year-old Hackintosh MBP that I’ve been repairing for years, but I’ve priced out a Tuxedo laptop for when it finally kicks the bucket. So I started dual booting Tuxedo on that as well to get my bearings.
Once I’m a little more experienced, I’m definitely interested to check out other distros! Right now it’s a lot of looking up terminal commands and learning the architecture. The firmware fan control in the MacBook is shot - fans blasting at full speed due to a failed GPU temp sensor that makes the computer assume it’s overheating - so I’ve already learned how to write to /sys/ with a custom fan control based on the working sensor in the CPU die.
It’s been really fun so far. You get the sense of just having vastly greater control over the hardware at a low level and the ability to control how it functions in a way that Windows and MacOS completely obfuscate. I still have very little idea what I’m doing in the terminal, but I’m starting to pick it up.
This is why I decided to dual-boot Ubuntu and Win10 until I’m fully comfortable on Linux. Every single thing about Win11 just makes my skin crawl.
Last week it was the news that they’re eliminating methods to install the OS at all without being signed into a MS account. The degree of snooping had no plausible explanation other than for Microsoft to harvest and sell your data.
As far as science channels go, you’ve got SpaceTime for college students, Veritasium for high schoolers, and Kurzgesagt for newborn infants or maybe a smart dog. It’s probably at about the right level if you want to explain science to an Australian Shepherd.
ICE was created by the Homeland Security Act of 2002, which passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. 90-9 in the senate and 42 Yeas came from Dems.
Yours is probably in better shape than mine. The 13 and 14 series specifically had a design flaw in the microcode that overvolts them. They slowly burn out over time, and the damage is irreversible.
Earlier processors aren’t affected. It’s specific to this series. But the only “fix” is a microcode patch that nerfs performance, so I’d rather just ride it out and switch to AMD.
My 13700K is still going strong for now, but it sucks to know it’s probably on a timer. I’m definitely jumping ship for AMD in my next rebuild.
The second paragraph discusses an incident that occurred at San Francisco International Airport with the same circumstance. Should have indicated that’s what I found weird because it should have been prevented. The southern courts have been less protective of individual freedoms. Might be legal there under the border exemption according to their courts.
