Republican Who Oversaw Mayorkas Impeachment Will Not Seek Re-election

Jump

  • No, that's too trivial. If I was a conspiracy moved person I'd wonder if he has a 'political donor' who has a retirement nest egg setup for him one the impeachment was voted and passed.

    It was an easy enough bar to get over in our political climate and gives a good sound bite for everyone else.

    And his opponent won't have this decision to use against him in the next election since I'll be someone else who will be able to deflect and still attract the same voters.

  • Wenheng Zhao [...] received at least $14,866 in bribe in exchange for secret military information [...]

    But a fine of only $5,500? It's apparently profitable to be a BAD spy, too

    My opinion: the fine should be AT LEAST 2x (if not 10x) what the bribes were. And not dismissible in bankruptcy.

    • Cox deletes ‘Active Listening’ ad pitch after boasting that it eavesdrops though our phones

    Jump

  • My take is two fold: 1- Marketing over selling their product (common practice) 2- The "always listening" devices are mainly their Smart Remotes that have a microphone built in.

    #2 Seems the most likely as is a device fully in their control and can pull as much ad marketing / information gathering details from it as they want.

    • A Supreme Court redistricting ruling gave hope to Black voters. They're still waiting for new maps

    Jump

  • Easy solution: All elections in the state after the supreme Court decision need to be invalid and on hold until the new redistricting is approved.

    Don't get it done by the next election? Sorry, your ballots and electrics don't count.

    It's disenfranchisement, but for everyone, not just the ones whose gerrymandering selected.

    • Linux 6.6 To Better Protect Against The Illicit Behavior Of NVIDIA's Proprietary Driver

    Jump

  • I'm not an expert but this is what I understand from a podcast l listened to (https://twit.tv/shows/untitled-linux-show):

    There's a subset of Linux users who desire or need GPL compliant environments for they purposes (personal or work related).

    There's a kernel flag that is set to track if the drivers or gas loaded are also 100% GPL.

    NVidia wrote their own video driver which is NOT GPL compliant, so as soon as they are loaded the kennel flag is set to "not GPL". To get around the simple checks for GPL compliant drivers, NVidia wrote a wrapper (a "condom") to lie that it was GPL-compliant when it was violating the GPL flag meaning.

    The Linux 6.6 release apparently has more protections to keep NVidia from working around the GPL check. (For now...)

    Of course I haven't played it in 30 years so I might be a tad rusty now even if I have all the gaming upgrades. 😁
