  • There are no hard requirements for being president beyond those listed in the Constitution:

    1. Be a natural born US citizen
    2. Be at least 35 years old
    3. Have resided in the US for 14 or more years.

    That's it. The framers of the Constitution presumably felt being a convicted felon would be enough for an electorate (or the electoral college, at least) to simply not vote for that person.

  • History will forget her.

    How many people remember stupid congresspeople from 30 years ago?

    Imhofe bringing a snowball to the Senate floor, this disproving climate change, for example. You and i and historians might, but average Joe on the street?

  • Impeachment is the accusation and happens in the House. They draft "Articles of Impeachment" and pass them like any other bill, with a majority vote.

    The Senate then holds a trial while the House provides a prosecutor of those charges. The Senate acts as a jury and, to convict, requires a "2/3rd majority of those present"

    Trump, for example was impeached twice, successfully. The Senate failed to convict both times.

  • Consumer PCs are almost certainly not covered entities under HIPAA, nor is Microsoft in its role as an OS provider.

    Even then, if this whole thing were to result in an inappropriate disclosure by a covered entity, the organization that processes the data would be liable, not Microsoft.

    That's like blaming the building contractor because you left the door unlocked and someone came in and stole your cat.

  • Fun.

    From the article, the linked Swagger docs : https://web.archive.org/web/20240120071238/https://mycscgo.com/api/v1/docs/static/index.html#/

    And a little more detailed account : https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/technology/tech-news/how-this-security-bug-in-washing-machines-can-help-college-students-in-the-us-do-free-laundry/articleshow/110277923.cms

    It looks like these laundry machines are controlled by a mobile app, and requests are routed through The Internet(tm). The flaw appears to be the web service presumes a user is only able to gain access to their API endpoints via the mobile app, which only exposes certain functions to a user.

    Once authorized, though, there's no further checks like oauth scopes or even user roles, to prevent someone from doing a little bit of lateral movement to admin-style endpoints.

    Lazy. The machine makers should be ashamed.

  • I've been using it a lot lately in the day job.

    My experience has been it's close but wrong often.

    It shines when I am doing the same thing for 20 variables, but then I should be using a loop instead and copilot won't go there.
