  • Audiophiles Can't Distinguish Audio Sent Through Copper, Banana or Mud

    Jump

  • This gets proven over and over again, people will continue to believe what they want. The only thing to spend money on with audio cables is build quality but the promise of improved audio quality is a siren song.

  • Conspiracy Theories Only Flourish With More Epstein Evidence

    Jump

  • Another one I saw mentioned by the NYT is his missing tattoo. Epstein apparently testified in a deposition that he had a tattoo of barbed wire on his upper arm, except it is not visible in pictures of his corpse. Not sure what to make of that but it's odd and hasn't been explained yet.

  • Epstein survivors say they felt 'degraded' and a 'lack of empathy' from AG Pam Bondi

    Jump

  • This hearing was a total disaster for Bondi. There was no hiding what a monster she is, and it's now come out that photographers captured images of her burn book which included info from illegal DOJ surveillance of members of Congress search histories of the Epstein files. Bondi is spying on Congress while they review the Epstein files, a blatant violation of the separation of powers.

    Jeffrey Epstein plotted with lawyer to try to have woman deported, documents reveal

    Jump

  • You can understand why Paul Weiss rolled over so easy for Trump. Karp and others were active participants in a sex trafficking ring, if not as actual rapists at least as facilitators for other members of their criminal organization to more effectively exploit their victims.

  • Another interesting detail, Epstein was already being protected before he was even arrested:

    Reiter explained that he was upset when the state attorney, Barry Krischer, rebuffed police efforts to arrest Epstein in 2006. After Krischer declined to prosecute, Reiter took the unusual step of writing a later asking Krischer to recuse himself from the case. When Krischer refused, Reiter then took the case to the FBI.

  • London man angry at ‘Orwellian’ incident in supermarket using facial recognition tech

    Jump

  • Random super markets can license access to their data. I could easily imagine a company like Palantir or Flock leveraging systems like these in their government contracting. Whether or not these things are privately owned by creepy corporations or under the direct control of a government agency feels like a distinction without a difference, either way the infrastructure of totalitarianism is being constructed around us with these technologies.

  • London knife crime vs viral content about London crime

    Jump

  • This is how crime reporting in the US works too. There isn't a connection really between crime rates and news reporting, the news media broadly choose to focus on certain types of crimes because they serve the interests of their owners and/or are popular with their audiences. There's decades of polling showing Americans largely have never had any idea what the actual risks are of crime.

  • cops do not rule

    Jump

  • Inherent in the phrase "jury trial" is the presumption of a legal system carrying out a legitimate legal process. I think jury trials can only be mob justice when that legal process functions illegitimately (e.g. by violating the rights of the accused).

  • You must tell me, please!

    Jump

  • "Pedo guy"

  • Noam Chomsky advised Jeffrey Epstein how to dodge the pedo accusations

    Jump

  • That Hiltzik guy in the email is conveniently now the "crisis manager" for the ex-Microsoft executive who was exposed in the Epstein files for using Epstein to extract a $14 million dollar golden parachute out of Microsoft when he got fired for Windows 8 sucking. It's incredible how interconnected the Epstein class is, it's a small world for them.

  • Trump Goons Publish Naked Photos in Major Epstein Files Fiasco

    Jump

  • The descriptions I've seen said there are at least 40 nude pictures of Epstein victims and that some of the subjects do appear to potentially be teenagers. It sounds like the DOJ released CSAM, yes.

    No wonder Reddit has turned to shit

    Jump

  • There isn't really any reason to think the Fediverse won't be used for AI training, if it isn't already. Everything is in the open here, it's easy enough to scrape all the data.

    No wonder Reddit has turned to shit

    Jump

  • Eventually the reddit thread would probably balance out, and incorrect information should get downvoted and replaced by corrections from people who know better.

    This seems optimistic.

  • How much more "safer" is data on a phone with LineageOS vs manufacturer rom? If you have 20+ character password on a Lineage OS phone and cops take it, they can't get in, right?

    Jump

  • They can likely still get in. There's leaked slides from Cellebrite showing everything they can crack and under what circumstances. From what I remember GrapheneOS is really the only version of Android they actually can't get into.

  • What's up with "Plex Servers"?

    Jump

  • I have a Plex server guy. He is one of my oldest and best friends although we don't get to hang out much anymore. I know he has other friends he shares the Plex server with but I have no idea who or how many. I've been using it since Plex was new, not sure how long exactly but more than a decade. I occasionally buy him nice hard drives because the library is ridiculously huge and always growing. As someone who loves weird and obscure shit, it's my favorite streaming service by far and he's my hero for running it.

  • Trump Sparks Fresh Outrage by Sending ICE to the Olympics

    Jump

  • When I first saw this headline I thought it meant he was going to make them compete in the Olympics.

  • Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • It doesn't take a million shell commands or sketchy scripts to deploy Windows without a Microsoft account. I literally did it just last week. I think you are being pedantic and moving the goal posts, the claim was that you need a Microsoft account to use Windows and that is not true. You may be coerced into using one depending on the version and install method but that's not the original claim that was made.

  • Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • You do understand that official setup requirements is not the same thing? Whatever Microsoft tries to force during a setup process doesn't change the fact that I am literally using Windows multiple times per week without any Microsoft account so claims it's impossible are untrue.
