Videos basically explains it. There are lots of people making devices, but with cassettes, the deck core mechanism is basically the same simple spec that Chinese manufacturers have knocked off.

Sidebar rule 3: Don’t be a jerk. You’re on time out.

Everyone in Trump’s orbit is there because they’re either too stupid to realize they’re stupid, or because they’re selfish and power hungry.

I’ll be shocked if these people don’t end up eating each other.

Just like when Threads launched and or when Reddit made the API changes. You get a flood of new users who want to talk about being new users.

Exactly. It’s vulnerable to the same thing American styles democracy is vulnerable to.

The UK’s government hasn’t exactly been “stable” over the past decade.

Unfortunately, I’m also being forced to buy it, even though I didn’t break it.

I wonder how many of these people are just now realizing that they have immediate family and friends who won’t be here next Christmas.

The far right extremists are feeling more and more emboldened.

Don’t hide from these assholes. That’s how they win.

Alternative theory. Reverse image search is imperfect.

But Lemmy told me Gen Z was going to save us all this election.

I don’t know about soup trout, but goldfish are thriving.

The Dems did not control both the WH and the Senate when RGB died. They do now - for another 7 weeks.

They’d need to do what they do before bringing a bill to the floor. Make sure that they have the votes ahead of time.

If you get one of those two people bought in on a particular justice candidate, then you could tell the current sitting Justice “it’s safe,” and you could fast-track the new person.

That said, there is still risk of someone having a change of heart at the last minute.

The way this article is framed sounds like bullshit to me. 18.1 was released less than 2 weeks ago. Any phone running this version of iOS would have had to already been in custody and somehow upgraded to this version, or otherwise brought into custody very recently—too recently for this to have already posed such a problem that law enforcement is “freaking out” and reporting it to the media.

A non-insignificant amount of people have been running the public betas because of Apple intelligence, RCS / iMessage toys, UI customization, etc. For example, MixPanel reported about 2% of the iOS install base running 18.0 before 18.0’s launch. IMHO, that’s pretty crazy for a beta OS.

Looks like the big difference is that this is on by default, it appears to get enabled when cops turn off internet access to prevent access to FindMy and remote lockdowns.

IMHO, the novelty of the feature isn’t what makes this headline worthy. This is noteworthy because of the scale. iOS is over a quarter of phones on earth, and in English speaking countries and Japan, you’re looking at numbers that are often over 50%.

This will impact a LOT more investigations than Graphene, and I imagine Apple will be back in court fighting cops who want to remove privacy and security features. Hopefully this stuff stands up to the autocrats coming into power in the states.

IMHO, it’s only worth doing if the independents who caucus with the Dems can be brought onboard with a replacement proactively before she resigns.

If you can’t get the Manchins of the world to proactively back a specific fast-tracked replacement, don’t even try.

Isn’t the argument that a younger replacement would be fast tracked now, while the Dems had the whitehouse and the senate?

The left obviously doesn’t want to leave a vacant seat for Trump. The point is to lock the seat down even harder.

Cake? To have AND eat?
