I don't even care if it's opt-in. I don't want dormant malware on my PC either.

To be clear. I actually like Windows 11. I don't care about the general telemetry, though I disabled the typing data crap. Most of the things in the last few months about ads in Windows, about blocking apps, etc have been overblown and aren't actually big problems in isolation. Even this is a little overblown right now as it requires an NPU which the vast majority of systems don't have. But, this is just so tone-deaf and an obviously terrible idea that it needs to be put down hard.

I mean, technically Windows Hello also includes signing in with a PIN or passkey. It doesn't require biometrics, although it does support them.

They're trying to shift the party even further right to gobble up the Never Trump Republicans. It wouldn't surprise me if it's a long term goal in order to further minimize the progressive agenda within the party. Pull enough conservatives into the party and you'd have one big party that's right of center, a smaller fascist party, and an unorganized gaggle of progressives.

I also think it's generally quite a stupid play that's going to backfire on them and probably just empower the fascists.

by a jury of 12 of his peers

You dare suggest the God Emperor has peers?!

IIRC these organoids also die after somewhere around 100 days of hypoxia, because they have yet to be able to construct a proper circulatory system for them.

They had integrated the L2 on-die before that already with the Pentium Pro on Socket 8. IIRC the problem was the yields were exceptionally low on those Pentium Pros and it was specifically the cache failing. So every chip that had bad cache they had to discard or bin it as a lower spec part. The slot and SECC form factor allowed them to use separate silicon on a larger node by having the cache still be on-package (the SECC board) instead of on-die.

"... I got better."

Add glue to your silly strings to weave them into delicious silly rope.

They are lowering the specs for this one version that's only available to license to Enterprise users because it's meant for Enterprise level IoT use cases, not as a typical desktop.

Yikes. I would've deleted that too. This is exactly why the US Constitution explicitly defines treason and makes such a high bar for conviction. Treason has a history of being used as a cudgel to destroy any political opposition or dissent.

Like I said, you're as ridiculous as any MAGA loon. You may as well be shouting "Hang Mike Pence" or talking about super secret military tribunals convening to try your political enemies.

This is not treason. You sound as ridiculous as any MAGA loon.

So. While this law is relatively new (more than a decade old iirc,) it has required waivers in previous elections already, from both parties. Maybe next time the parties should actually take deadlines like this into consideration when planning their conventions? The deadline is August 7th, so it's not some implausibly early date, as the Democratic convention is only scheduled like two weeks later. And the deadline hasn't been a surprise.

I agree they should get a waiver but damn, seems a bit incompetent.

It's also not usually invalid just because it won when it "shouldn't" have. It's actually displaying a payout much higher than the listed value for the maximum payout of the machine.

Now, I feel like the fair thing would be paying that maximum payout and adding something on top for the customer's troubles. But that probably isn't going to satisfy someone who unreasonably expected $1.27m.

If they do it and picket any such shipments I'm expecting a brutal reprisal from the police. That said I applaud those pushing for it.

Current voter registration is 44.98% Democrat, and 44.62% Republican.

I'm not sure where they're getting that information. SC does not have registration by party at all. It's literally not information that the state collects.

I'm not a lawyer, but wouldn't pretty much every jurisdiction consider you properly served if you were posting publicly demonstrating knowledge of the case and especially that you were dodging service?

It's another aspect of the whole industry being a mess. Loans sold on and on multiple times with the necessary paperwork lost in the shuffle. I remember hearing a few homeowners saved from foreclosure because the company that purchased their mortgage having none of the necessary paperwork.

Depends on the circumstances of why the helicopter crashed. If it was an accident, some maintenance issue, pilot error or medical emergency or something, then it won't be too bad.

If there's some evidence of sabotage or a deliberate attack then hold onto your hat because prime suspect #1 is going to be the Mossad.

Jeez. Can we just bring out the guillotines already?

I mean yes, but that happens to be from 2007.
