That’s what she said

If he wins it will be the loyalist puppets who he installs in the DOJ and other top positions in law enforcement and the courts. This is one of his campaign promises.

Wondering how many employees don’t live near a Dell office? I guess that they are screwed.

I assume that many teams are spread around the country, so even if you go to an office, you can’t in person collaborate with your team anyway.

Somebody could go to jail for this. You.

The DMCA makes it a felony to circumvent protections in services. If they wanted to push this and depending on the system disabling or using some hack to bypass could be illegal.

I don’t think that anyone would actually bring the case against an individual, but a company selling any sort of device or instructions to make it easier for people could be targeted.

The government buys your data, too. And not just your government.

For any legal case, government or your spouse’s divorce attorney, it’s a low bar to soupeana “business records” from these companies.

The US needs stronger data protection and privacy laws. Unfortunately, the corporations buy enough politicians to prevent it.

Time by Pink Floyd.

Back in the day. Moped, cassette Walkman, and very early wired earbuds. The engine noise covered the several minutes of ticking in the beginning, so it seemed like the tape had stopped. Then the alarm clocks kicked in and startled me so badly that I almost crashed.

Realize that they are just buying data that ANYONE can buy. This is the real danger.

So, like a few days to run a full backup and an eternity to resync a RAID array.

Not free, but I have been using Insync for years and it works well. $30 one time cost, but worth it.

Even Nvidia video works out of the box without any additional drivers.

The thing with Nvidia is that although the default drivers work, they are more generic and don’t take advantage of all of the features and performance of recent cards. Most people would want to load the proprietary drivers from Nvidia to take full advantage of the card.

Linux would normally include the better drivers, but Nvidia keeps them under a software license that prevents Linux distributions from bundling them.

Even with this, Ubuntu includes a tool that will download and install these drivers that they can’t

You don’t need any internet connection to install Ubuntu. Just use the normal install, not minimal network installer. Install from a USB stick.

Also, there’s no requirement for a wire either. If that were the case, you could never install on any modern laptop.

You would need some sort of functioning network to upgrade packages or install anything not in the base image, but this would all be after installation when you have a working OS and wired or wireless won’t matter.

Does this BS law make medical staff mandatory reporters? Mandatory reporting laws should go around privacy laws.

Code security is directly proportional to the amount of resources devoted to finding and fixing bugs regardless of open or closed. If nobody is maintaining the code, it doesn’t matter.

One advantage with open you is that you can look at the version control to see how active the code is being maintained.

New versions of software are released because the older version was lacking in some way. Features, security, functionality.

Lowest number wins.

Does the group have any archive, mailing lists, ticket system, etc, where they work on and document the work that they have been doing?

Past questions and answers will tell you common issues, solutions, should point you towards the areas where you need to focus.

Fiction is fiction.

In real life, stalking the victim for months, sniper shots, or anything that involves any sort of sofisticiation or team of people is asking to get caught.

KISS principle. A successful hit would be as simple as possible, happen fast with no prior interaction, and involve as few people as possible.

Rocks + magic smoke.

But it is likely un-maintainable

It’s a setup for the RICO case.

In order to prove RICO, you need to prove in court that crimes were committed and that they were part of an organized effort.

Having lower level actors plead guilty establishes that there were actual crimes that were committed. You can’t argue that something is not a crime after there’s a conviction.

Now add in the promise to point fingers in future trials, and you can connect the bosses to these proven crimes to establish the organized efforts.

You would hope, but I don’t see many people following him from either side.

GOP won’t follow just for the association with the democrats despite the fact that he was a GOP plant meant to try to undermine democrats and justify “both sides are the same” horse shit.
