He doesn’t have immunity for the crimes but there is testimony about things he said to staff while in office and the Supreme Court has declared such conversations off-limits. They really went out of their way to cover for Trump, except for the part where Biden would probably have immunity for having him killed.
The president couldn’t be charged for taking the billionaires’ money but the money could still be returned. An assassination can’t be undone.
As opposed to the discs movies are sold on.
Apparently “recordable media” here means the kind you can record on at home, e.g. CD-R, DVD-R.
I think he’d at least need to be clear on which part is a lie; did the killings not actually happen or are they not his fault?
With any tech that allows the same quality with less data, there will always be someone pushing to cut quality to save even more data.
Why are “addictive feeds” OK for adults?
Scrutiny!? Whatever will she do? (Tell Fox News she’s being persecuted, probably)
“There are so many other loopholes, we should focus on the ones poor people use”
Here’s the article; the link in the OP points to a discussion thread.
The chair ought to be questioning whether the company should continue to employ someone who needs that much “motivation”, not urging shareholders to give it to him.
The standard fine for violating the STOCK Act is $200, but frequently the House Committee on Ethics and the Senate Select Committee on Ethics waive the fee.
Craig Holman, a Capitol Hill lobbyist on ethics and campaign finance rules for nonprofit Public Citizen, said the fee is one of two reasons why the STOCK Act is frequently violated.
“The penalty is so minimal that these millionaire members of Congress really don’t care about it," Holman told Raw Story. “The second provision is the ethics committees are not really enforcing it or taking it seriously.”
So basically this “law” is just a suggestion.
Meanwhile, his classified documents case being handled by a judge he appointed to the court is somehow not a conflict.
Less likely isn’t the same as unlikely, most of those people probably just went from definitely voting for Trump to probably voting for Trump.
I’ve seen suggestions that the AI Overview is based on the top search results for the query, so the terrible answers may be more to do with Google Search just being bad than any issue with their AI. The AI Overview just makes things a bit worse by removing the context, so you can’t see the glue on pizza suggestion was a joke on reddit or it was The Onion suggesting eating rocks.
This week they were even against energy efficient applicances.
Please make a joke about how Trump is trying to convince the Supreme Court it shouldn’t be a crime for you to have him killed.
And now that he’s back he’s only working Mondays, so he’s got less risk of exhaustion and new people still get the rest of the week.
Maybe the news about the Windows client changing DNS settings was too much bad publicity?
A VPN would naturally route all your traffic through a secure tunnel, but you’ve still got to do DNS lookups somewhere. A lot of VPN services also come with a DNS service, and Google is no different. The problem is that Google’s VPN app changes the Windows DNS settings of all network adapters to always use Google’s DNS, whether the VPN is on or off. Even if you change them, Google’s program will change them back.
Apple is apparently working on getting encryption added to the standard
In a background briefing with reporters, Apple spokespeople touted the company’s recent announcement that it will support the RCS messaging standard for iMessage sometime during 2024. In order to attend Apple’s briefing and view a background document, we had to agree to paraphrase the company’s remarks instead of quoting them directly.
Apple clarified that it is not implementing RCS as it exists today because it doesn’t believe the standard offers enough privacy and security. Apple said it is working with a standards body—this is likely a reference to the GSMA—to ensure that the version of RCS it eventually implements will support encryption and strong privacy and security.
Apple said that once it adopts RCS, iPhone and non-iPhone users will be able to exchange messages with higher-resolution photos and videos, and will experience improved group texting. Apple said it hasn’t brought its own message app to non-Apple devices because the user experience wouldn’t meet the company’s standards and that it cannot ensure that a third-party device’s encryption and authentication are secure enough.
The update is pretty important:
