  • Not encrypted info, if they set it up right.

    But regardless, what they want is more like an actual

    Currently, companies generally want warrants to give information like that.

    Warrants are hard to come by when the government simply wants to read everyone's messages in case they're doing criminal activity.

    Even in the best case, the completely honest with no hidden motives situation, they want messages to be more, a source of probable cause for other things. Like getting a drug sniffing dog, who detects drugs, and gives cops reasonable suspicion and therefore allows them to search your car.

    Worst-case, I don't think anyone trusts the government in this day and age to not just read your messages to discriminate against you.

    Plus the usual security concerns where digital backdoors are weak spots for other governments and everyone else.

    And all that is the general case. this is Desantis's Florida. It's probably so he can tell who is gay and who isn't so he can make them illegal.

    Some companies are happy to share, though, like you said, even without warrants. Those companies generally aren't encrypting your messages at all. This doesn't affect them. The law would just affect those that promise security, promise encryption, etc. Those would be, with this law, not quite public, but transparent to the government and compromised to everyone else.

  • Probably can, there's a speaker in there somewhere.

  • Court costs are different than a fine.

    If a random guy sued you for a nonsense reason and you had to show up to court and pay a lawyer hundreds of dollars just to basically say "this lawsuit is frivolous and the ruling is self evident", it's reasonable to expect that ransom guy to pay your court costs. The alternative is being sued itself would be like a fine. If some dude with a vendetta sued me 10 times over that I'd be ruined no matter the result.

    So frivolous, ungrounded lawsuits have a cost to them that actually has nothing to do with the courts getting money, it has to do with making it right that someone has wasted your own time and money.

    This guy did that, and has to pay for not only his own lawyer (if he brought one, I expect he didn't) but also the lawyer for the city/police department.

    Some areas do have an actual fine for wasting the court's time, so the lawyer thing might not be the only thing going on here, but no matter what, the guy gets to pay more for losing at court when the matter is considered obvious to everyone else and it seems he only wants to argue to avoid a perfectly legal fine.

  • My roommate was one of those dumbasses.

    It WAS terrible he ended up in the hospital. Not even as a "let's make sure you're alright" kind of thing, he got saved there.

    He learned his lesson though so there's that.

    His "friends" didn't, but that whole "I was dying and it was your fault and you all were too drunk to help me" kinda ruined the friendship, too, so I don't have to deal with them anymore, either.

  • Wrong.

    It was forks.

  • Yellows and browns and orange are a lot more related, and whatever color the pre-orange tiger ancestor was, it was almost certainly one of those.

    Natural variation in the coat means some of those tigers were more orange than their peers. This trait was selected for.

  • It's possible to not realize you're complicit or not realize the depth of it.

    When this happens like it did, you do briefly become someone who is getting blood money. She took this chance to interfere with their event.

  • Yeah same, OP's was definitely a mistake. I think she's just here for us two.

  • Well hey if the trumps became a dynasty, the US becomes a de facto Russian colony.

    I bet he's cool with that.

    Then we would actually become second place in his eyes instead of a nation with a bullet hole on his map.

    Even writing this makes me wanna gag, this is a horrid little hypothetical I've thought of. Someone, somewhere, is hoping this will occur, though.

  • I haven't used raidz but a quick search tells me it supports single-drive expansion.

    Maybe reconfigure your raidz as a 2-drive system, then copy over all your data into it, and expand it back into a 3-drive system after.

  • Pretty sure it'd fry the power supply. Thats my first bet, is that it wouldn't even get through it.

    If it did pass through, it could fry your electronics. A USB killer is a short pulse, and not at all strong compared to main, so I expect that it'd act more like if a neutral was floating, than an actual surge at the voltage a USB killer usually gets to.

    No idea for sure though and I'm not an electrician.

  • That's neat.

    It makes me wonder if your hearing is better than average or if your eyes are worse, making it not so clear-cut.

    Do you need glasses, or have you ever had your hearing tested for whatever reason?

  • Well they make a lot of sense if you can't trust your clients.

    My high school's computer lab were all thin clients. I was told each cost like 20$ (wouldn't be surprised if he exaggerated the cheapness a bit), and the server was being used for more than just the thin clients, anyway.

  • You show that you are dominated by sight even as you say you aren't.

    Losing your hearing or touch would remove peripheral senses, yes, and certainly that would be unnerving, but think how much worse it would be to lose sight. Hearing wasn't even a factor for you beyond your peripheral, because what you can see is so much clearer, so much more comprehensive, than what you can hear, that hearing is negligible where you have sight.

    Hearing is a backup sense. Something you lean on when you don't have sight, but its fidelity is poor enough in people that we rely nearly wholly on sight, when we can.

    Losing that cone of vision impacts us far more than our hearing, although of course losing either is massively detrimental.

  • Hes well away from all the salt on the roads, and gets an annual car wash + soak. Can't hurt.

  • Some people still might not know.

    Probably Mac users, but I hope I make someone one of today's lucky 10,000.

  • Windows key. The graphic itself is what they used from windows 8-10.

    Super key in Linux, command key in macOS.

  • It's worth it if you would hate your current experience I suppose.

    But yeah, not worth it at all, in my opinion. If I hated a budget option so badly that paying premium would win out, I'd have done that in the first place.

  • Yes.

    I started doing that when I was walking back to my dorm in college. It was winter, night fell early, and I didn't notice someone 10' ahead of me heading the same way. They got freaked out by the guy following them.

    It turned out to be someone who also lived in my dorm, so I "followed" them most of the way home before I realized the issue and called out to them.

    We ended up talking for a bit, and I said I'm sorry for scaring them, but the biggest issue was I seemed to come out of nowhere, so when they freaked out they thought I was some creep like, waiting to jump someone.

    So yeah, I make noise, for others comfort. I don't even think about it anymore, it's just automatic.

    The person I followed wasn't even a woman, he just thought I was gonna mug him, but if I can freak out a 6'2" guy I could freak out anyone by accident.
