They aren't exactly writing checks and sending it Kyiv.

They're sending stuff we already have. Ammo, tanks, etc.

It should be phrased as "Joe asks mom it it's cool to give Volodymir, his friend down the way, his old iPhone, and then go buy a new iPhone 15 Max, which has sick BVR capabilities and stealth, from LockMart."

You can hardly blame that just on Gates. Every moron in the government has been pushing standardized tests as some way of grading teachers and schools for decades at this point, and this program coincided with Obama's equally disastrous and very similar federal program. Which was an improvement over Bush's even more disastrous program.

Especially when you realize Gate's program was of limited scope while Dubbya/Obama/Trump's DOE's fuckups covered the entire country for a far longer period of time.

Don't worry, he'll upset Putin soon enough.

Insurance would have to prove the modification caused the accident by disabiling some safety mechanism.

Legally, software mods and hardware mods are no different, and people have been modifying their cars well before you could hack a seat heater on.

Modifying your car isn't a valid reason to yank coverage in most circumstances.

Even making your car faster isn't enough, assuming your mods are street legal.

Unless the board is just lying, it sounds like they got everything that they were asking for?

If that's the case, how is it a bad move?

BMWs have had this, to some extent, for a while. Bimmercode can do things like change sounds and enable software disabled features, like anti dazzle lights. (This is disabled because the NHTSA refuses to adopt ways for them to be easily tested in the US, despite their being approved for decades in Europe and a congressional mandate telling them to allow them on the roads, so every automaker has to disable them.)

No exploits needed.

Yeah. GM's subscription nonsense is for their ice cars too. BMW's aborted seat heater thing was too.

Yeah, or the US just invades Yemen with global support, triggering the regional crisis Iran wanted.

None of the regional powers actually care about Palestine outside of using it as a convenient political excuse.

It's also really stupid because the idea is to create a system that's better than humans. And let me tell you, people miss stuff all the time when driving. Tons and tons of accidents are caused by "negligent" drivers who looked both ways and missed someone due to a visual processing error or literally not being able to see something.

Another way to rank them how other states have first/second/third degree felonies.

Kind of like how burglary is a bad, but not as bad as murder or rape.

It's not even a ponzi scheme, it's just a good old fashioned bubble.

It's digital tulips.

Realistically, they're giving Ukraine their old stocks and modernizing, something the Bundeswehr and NATO have been calling for for years.

Admittedly, you'd need a layer of ozone (self sustaining so long as you don't have some kind of chemical that causes ozone to not form, but who'd have that?). And probably some kind of hot liquid metal contraption in the middle of the earth, sustained by, like Uranium decay or tidal friction or something, to generate a magnetic field to protect us.

Some Irish people would probably still die of radiation poisoning on beaches, but that's a sacrifice the rest of us are willing to make.

Well, that's as good of a reason as any to delete the app.

When skynet comes online, I'll die quickly, being mopped to death. You'll have to struggle in the post apocalyptic hellscape where humans fight robots with A-10s for some reason.

Plus, show some respect for the victims of the Russian/Wagner sponsored coup in Niger.

But tankies gonna tank.

You can't garnish wages in Texas state cases unless it's for child support. The US Code allows for it in federal cases, but it's mostly in case this guy gets money on a book deal or something insane like that.

Tankies basically are just "pro-whatever Russia is at the moment." They'll claim to be leftists, but are apologists for whatever Russia or China does internationally. Basically, they're pro-authoritarian so long as it's not the US being authoritarian or someone the US is turning a blind eye to.

These are people who buy whatever non-American propaganda is hook, line, and sinker because they're desperate to prove they're "better" than the average person and tune out any "mainstream" media outlet.

Nevermind that if they'd pay attention, their "sources" have mysteriously gotten in bed with China and suddenly are OK with genocide of the Uighur people and things like that.

They're coming back. The Galaxy S 23/22 Ultra both are squared.

When did people read the article on old reddit?

2004?

Wifi under the old standard?

It depends on how you're holding it and how spread that heat is. 46° isn't something great to be grasping for extended periods of time, but if you're physically touching 30°C parts of the phone and a part with no physical contact with your skin is 46°C, it's probably not that bad.

My s7 edge used to hit these temps. The annoying part was the throttling and shutdowns. I never really felt like I was burning my hands using the thing.
