  • Washington Post Raid Is a Frightening Reminder: Turn Off Your Phone’s Biometrics Now

    Jump

  • 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

  • Trump’s Insane New Threat Leaves No Doubt: It’s Time for the 25th Amendment

    Jump

  • 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

  • HouseRepublican introduces bill seeking to make Greenland 51st state

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

  • Minnesota could prosecute the ICE shooter. Trump can’t pardon him.

    Jump

  • 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.

  • My friend is buying a new PC and he is deciding between air cooler and AIO, which should be get?

    Jump

  • 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.

    Well this ain't no good

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

  • Judge dismisses cases against James Comey and Letitia James after finding prosecutor was unlawfully appointed

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Judge dismisses cases against James Comey and Letitia James after finding prosecutor was unlawfully appointed

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Ukraine offered “Kremlin peace plan”: Halve armed forces, cede territories, abandon weapons, accept Russian as official language

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Trump elevates Saudi Arabia to ‘major non-NATO ally’ status

    Jump

  • POTUS has a lot of power to manage relationships and status with other countries. My question is what are these investments and does Trump personally benefit?

  • Screw it, I’m installing Linux

    Jump

  • Good mix of usability and learning curve. You will need terminal, but that's never been easier with AI assistants to learn how. Plenty of support for applications or open source workarounds. It also is familiar enough to use rather quickly, but not so much that it feel like a Windows clone. Highly recommend starting with Ubuntu.

  • Privacy option for a Motorola Razr Ulta?

  • This will probably be my move eventually. Phone was a gift so I might keep it for a bit doing the most I can to reduce Google services & tracking. Eventually I'll sell for a pixel

  • Thanks! Def going to disable play services and other Google options

    Jump

  • I’m not refusing to help myself. I mentioned using alternative App Stores, and I’m aware that options like Graphene are not available. I’m just trying to see if there were other options or practical tips people might know, since I’m new to android. That’s all.

  • Privacy option for a Motorola Razr Ulta?

    Jump

  • Agreed. I assume that might be part of the reason that Lineage and others aren’t supported. Also, it’s not a particularly huge segment of that market.

  • Thanks for the information - I’ll take a look at the thread. It is a snapdragon chip, so no mediatek thankfully

    I’ll definitely check this out from the thread:

     
        
Everyone has their own use case, needs and preferences My thought is that you have the following options - not in any order as you will have your preferences Buy a Pixel and install Graphene See if you can install Linage OS, or buy another phone that can Universal android debloater / ADB (not as tricky as it seems) https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater Search and disable apps you don’t want (limited at best) Install RethinkDNS & Firewall. What did I do? On my Samsung tablet, I used Universal Android Debloater AND run RethinkDNS & Firewall. Not as good as Graphene, but cheap / free and 90% of the same.

  • Unsure as this is new to me. the phone comes to me next week, so I can’t actually check ATM. It’s a carrier unlocked device, if that means anything.
