For Android, it looks like you can go to https://android.com/lock and use your phone number to lock your phone.

No MFA required. But this has to be enabled on your phone in order for it to work.

So long as he didn't lie to his investors. Because that's what matters.

This is such an important distinction to make. Being able to wipe the phone would require a second device, so unless you are with someone who has access to that phone, you have to wait until you get home to initiate it.

Iirc my pixel has a "in case your phone is stolen from you" automation. Though I don't know the mechanics of how it works.

All the risk without the fun

You've summarized religion in one phrase.

Trump isn't being given anything.

He is ordering the military to do the parade. This isn't even about the military.

Trump is doing this to show his followers that he owns the libs. That he is powerful. Because, in a twisted sense, he is.

He is forcing DC to put on the parade. He's forcing the government to pay for it. He's forcing the residents to deal with the consequences.

This is about power projection.

We are in fascism times.

Which is nice when the item in question is like "onions" or "apples". Things that don't have a ton of variety or choice.

There are so many soaps and he seems like a little bitch, the kind that will want to smell each one to make sure it's manly.

It's like how conservative voters love the affordable care act but hate Obamacare.

For them, it's about the packaging and unfortunately their leaders are great at packaging.

Small talk is the human equivalent to the initialization/handshake phase of the TCP protocol.

It establishes the connection, introduces the speakers, validates the presence of the other, and then allows data transmission to take place.

Unlike computers, we humans require years of practice to get it correct because there isn't one set standard.

I implicitly trust FOSS more than closed source but because that trust has been earned through millions of FOSS projects.

On occasion, I will dive deep into a codebase especially if I have a bug and I think I can fix it.

You can't do this with closed source or even source available code because there is no guarantee that the code you have is the code that's been compiled.

"We have changed the terms. Pray that we don't change them further."

There are a segment of Christians that truly believe he is the second coming of Jesus.

They are absolutely bananas but they exist and, perhaps more importantly, they vote.

Good news: there's been talk to having python be part of the DOM.

I believe chromium has been working on it but no real thought on when this will happen.

It really depends on the ripper. I'd say 9/10 times captions are included on most of my downloads.

It's that 10th one that is super annoying and I have to wait for jellyfin to download them one by one from open subtitles.

Those videos are ones he's okay with and actually improve his stance in the base.

Show deep fakes of him getting the COVID vaccine or giving the vaccine and see where that takes you.

You have to have him doing something woke. Like treating his trans child with human decency.

Mexico and Canada famously came back to the table only for Trump to renegotiate a deal that they both were already going to do.

I honestly haven't kept track but it wouldn't surprise me if some of the smaller countries that are dependent on US sales have renegotiated their deals.

two former VW engineers

Yeah, unless they are Chief Engineers, these two are just people who got caught in the churn.

Wake me up when the President of US Operations gets sentenced to prison. Hell, I'll even be okay with club Fed.

He's using tariffs as a sword to show off his power.

Tariffs is pretty much the most dangerous non-military weapon that the President can use without any legislative action. You are correct that his goal isn't chaos itself, but we would be remiss if we don't understand why Trump is using them.

Trump not only wants to look powerful, he wants to feel powerful. He is like a kid who knocks someone else's blocks down so that people can see he's in charge. Through his eyes, he sees someone else's suffering from his actions and then he can see the pain of those people as they look at him in disbelief. Trump is using tariffs as a stick to cause panic in those countries so that he can see them grovel at his feet.

That's why he doesn't care that it hurts his supporters. I would go so far as to say he wants his supporters to be hurt so that they can know that he's in charge.

This is authoritarianism. This is about him. Even if whatever trade deals come out of these tariffs are worse than they were before him, he claims victory because he forced the other side to the table.

Except today, it would be a shovel that is designed to break at around 100 uses so that you have to come back to buy a new shovel every few days or so.

Ruling class. He might not have been a billionaire but still deserved it.

Rent seeking. Gotta have that subscription
