oyashirochama··on U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve Falls to Lowest Level Since 1982
EVs are just as toxic due to mining techniques used at the moment, and with no effective way to recycle batteries even if they last longer than expected they aren't really a way forward completely, and baseload electricity still relies on oil and natural gas since most countries have for some reason pushed away from Nuclear as a long term non-renewable (it IS technically not renewable).
oyashirochama··on Anthropic's IPO prospectus shows AI vision, surging costs
Which is northing compared to what google and other networking/application companies get from businesses to use their digital, no or little in comparison physical maintenance, products.
oyashirochama··on ICE Awards $25M Iris-Scanning Contract to Bi2 Technologies
The only arguement I can see, is that the police should also not expect any privacy and have their names and faces visable, but thats the only relatively modern issue I've had.

And maybe no database that is always on and always accessable state and federal wide, since thats removing just general public exposure expectation.

Tell my youve never owned a supermicro board without telling me. They support regular 80mm/90mm Noctua and function just fine. There's specific supermicro mounts for me.
oyashirochama··on A lot of population numbers are fake
China is the best example, its estimated that their population is off by entire countries in some statisitics, either through disppeared girls, hidden covid deaths, local economic fraud. There is also no independently verifiable group in China and is actually explicitly banned to use non-government methods.

And is one of the primary reasons lane splitting should be legal everywhere, it keeps bikers in the safe no man or car land of the dotted white and lets them not take a full car spot on the red light.
oyashirochama··on The Gruen Transfer is consuming the internet
There's also the well known, name change that happens. Where the product used to be a different item/SKU tied to the product on Amazon. Used to poison ratings a LOT.

They are dying as what their namesakes suggest and instead become slop factories.

God I wish OnStar held that standard.
oyashirochama··on FTC takes action against Uber for deceptive billing and cancellation practices
Fuck onstar to hell for their shit, you HAVE to call and theres no way to digitally cancel.
oyashirochama··on Fossil fuels fall below 50% of US electricity for the first month on record
Theres a upper limit though and they don't provide a great baseload, which is nuclear's specialty even among non-renewable resources nuclear is a clear winner in baseload management.

Also nuclear is a non-renewable just a long, nearly impossible to empty one, especially with the longer isotopes of thorium and uranium.

oyashirochama··on CT scans could cause 5% of cancers, study finds; experts note uncertainty
I mean you can't when a non-insignificant amount of people have magnetic metal in their body.
oyashirochama··on Doge using AI to snoop on U.S. federal workers, sources say
The issue is, probationary in Gov doesn't mean what it means in Corporate speak. They do actually have most of the same protections which he ignored illegally.

Why is Trump suspect? This is the same argument made last time by Trumps side. He's legitimate, since there are no rules not allowing him (he's a natural citizen and well old enough), thus meeting all requirements. Is he a proper choice? No, but neither side offered any proper choice in a meaningful time and thus failed our nation.
oyashirochama··on The Dire Wolf Is Back
Non climate hunting and direct habitat destruction is likely the largest cause of the current mass extinction event going on, life will eventually find a way to take advantage of humans like rats and pigeons already do or avoid it entirely like bats do.
oyashirochama··on How the Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg Got Added to the White House Signal Chat
The thing is, it's up to the official classification officer to decide on how far is too far for classification down and this administration loves to short man everything so likely they decided it wasn't an issue, but it is, and someone should be blamed in my opinion since that is that official's job.

You can go around legally too just ask what is and isn't considered classified by derivative.

oyashirochama··on China's New Barges Could Make a Tough Task Easier: Invading Taiwan
Why? Taiwan is an effectively independent country in all ways but name. Would you like it if the US openly and directly invaded somewhere like Guam or PR and support it? This is an insane escalation and though makes sense considering demographics of PRC and their CCP/CPC army (the Chinese national army doesn't exist it's the party's army), it will likely be a bigger mud field than Ukraine regardless of situations.
oyashirochama··on London's Heathrow Airport announces complete shutdown due to power outage
The US has dozens of smaller commercial and even private airports, same for London honestly so this isn't the greatest arguement except it doesn't need to deal with customs.
oyashirochama··on Appeals court rules that Constitution protects possession of AI-generated CSAM
It likely doesn't pass the constitution or will have to be subject to the Miller's test. Hence it doesn't really change much that the federal law already did.
oyashirochama··on The Origin of the Pork Taboo
Most of that can be explained by it being the first time to have a long-term trip without fresh fruit and it was discovered fairly quickly, they just didn't have anything that persevered vitamin C since it denatures fairly easy.

Science always has a find an issue, then resolve it any other path is just luck. The sailors of other countries other than Europe did have ways of remedying this issue through various ways.

oyashirochama··on The GPU, not the TPM, is the root of hardware DRM
Not to mention LTT showed the ability to spoof and steal SMS directly, on specific targets using the international phone system trust, something that is effectively impossible to block due to the inherient trust built into cell companies at the moment.
oyashirochama··on Apple M5 could ditch unified memory architecture for split CPU and GPU designs
It's a little overbuilt, but a 1000w for a 300w processor with ability to add a lot of accessories isn't terrible actually. only needs a few more PCIe devices to make it meet the 50% minimum to reach peak efficieny on the PSU.

The change, was literal.

One fun thing is personal recording isn't a protected right in the military and has to be stated if you're recording in an office for personal reasons. (official recording is usually stated as a usage agreement), or literally put on the device as a sticker.

He's also a low level enlisted so its not surprising he was unable to afford a lawyer.

Depends on length, if he's convicted for greater than I think 90 days, he'll be there, less it'll be base confinement usually to his dorms/barracks. They will likely just do a quick boot and access removal since it sounds like he was just a middleman. and a BCD discharge at worst, or other-than-honorable discharge.

He did break the law and all, means to an end isn't a good path unfortnately when you have no power. There were options to take to whistle blow the surveillance of citizens and it's illegal under NSA's own policy that they ignored illegally, and there's a technically independent section/organization for leaking these issues to OCA. Though I'm not sure if it was around in Snowden's time, it could literally have been made due to his concerns ironically.
oyashirochama··on U.S. Army Soldier Arrested in AT&T, Verizon Extortions
That's not how it works, they don't want people who have broke laws anymore especially due to the prior hacker leaks (Snowden).
oyashirochama··on U.S. Army Soldier Arrested in AT&T, Verizon Extortions
Archaic? Yes, but its typically pretty easy to prove if its not required within their job to use. Unauthorized use is basically the "did anyone say you could or couldn't do this" in written/signed form. Basically accidental breaking of it has to fail the intent and purpose reason most of the time.
oyashirochama··on U.S. Army Soldier Arrested in AT&T, Verizon Extortions
Courts martial, its weirdly plural since its a title/noun of something specific.
oyashirochama··on Dog Aging Project
The best part is running this on a potato PC and watching the JavaScript kill itself.
