Fuckin’ eh, that synchronous?

Most incarcerated people, at least state side, are charged with non-violent and non-sexual crimes.

You could make an argument for a lot of them not deserving to be there, and a lot more for only being there due to financial/societal circumstance.

Those are still people, many of them decent people.

You’d have to pair this with removing the mics (as shown above) and clipping the speaker leads (or just damaging the diaphragm enough by poking something through the speaker grille).

After that?

Not an audio engy but I image a lot of external amps are built to prevent back-feeding out through the line in.

Worst case use s/pdif, and you’ll know that the only thing going through that wire is good ol’ one-way pcm-digital audio.

Also its not impossible to find a sound bar that doesn’t have smart features yet. Even if it is, they tend to age way better than TV’s.

Personally?

My living room has 480i and 1080i tubes at around 26/27inches each.

My bedroom has a dumb 1080p panel.

If I need something prettier I use my higher-res computer monitor (no baked in OS, just firmware for display settings.)

Disable your speakers and run your audio out through an amp/speaker-bar that has no internet connection.

You might not be able to stop Jack Bauer from personally tracking you, but the sort of dragnet surveillance most people are worried about can still, for now, be mitigated with effort.

Different companies now.

The original motorola basically only makes those and radios and other shit for cops/ems.

The cell phone Motorola is a division of lenovo.

It doesn’t matter where they stand on economic policies, healthcare, the environment, Israel, or whatever.

Cool they can do the things that make republicans fascists so long as they’re pledging fealty to the democratic party. Got it.

You understand healthcare, the environment, civil rights, and to an extant, the economy, ARE existential issues for most people right?

The reason to vote democrat isn’t because they’re not the GOP in name, its because they typically have better policy than republicans on such issues. To say they don’t matter is disingenuous.

Yeah I’m not managing several different accounts for each vm in qubes os.

The only real way to maintain any semblance of digital privacy is to build information silos.

That will always be more important than Microsoft’s hosting costs. (Though probably not to them.)

You’re right, I’m sorry.

I forgot this was the only time democrats have ever worked with the GOP to spite the working class ever.

Completely fucking unprecedented.

Already do. Just because I vote doesn’t make those particular democrats not fascists.

Also none of them are even in the same state as me, so my voting powers don’t effect them.

Got any more hot tips, lil buddy?

Anyone working to pass the SAVE America act is working to keep the GOP in power.

Like it or not, 6 Democrats just openly said "We’d rather risk more time with Nazi pedophiles than risk the DSA holding any real power.

If you purposely work to empower a fascist, that makes you a fascist.

Those 6 democrats are fascists.

I hate to say it, but considering they added a clause to support the SAVE America act, this kinda says to me hey, at least part of the democratic party is the “same side.”

Like fuck centrism, but Nazi Bar rule applies and those fuckers just sat down at the table.

I think it will be interesting, to see how countries with high AI usage fair in a few years.

Microsoft’s been trying to drop win32 support since at least Win 8, remember Windows RT?

They don’t want it to be an open platform anymore, but they know they have to bait everyone including business into it, and they’ll have to go hard and fast once they think they have the sell.

If they fuck it up bad enough they risk everyone switching to compatibility layers and hardware emulators like wine/dxvk and fex.

Even just holding that position for a year or so could fuck them. In the meantime everyone would be switching, app devs would be targeting compatibility layers. Once they’ve already bought in elsewhere its a LOT harder to get them to bite again.

Honestly? Kinda prefer it.

Hope an updated clicks keyboard comes out for it.

Would be the most interesting usable android phone since the LG V20 IMO

Am grill but:

I usually don’t buy a ups unless I can off the shelf battery replacements.

My apartment has fucked wiring, its killed things through decent surge protectors.

At this point all of my computers that I run daily are on APC UPS’s.

Good luck nuking shit through one of those.

If they’re not using burner accounts on disposable/amnesiac Linux installs, its kind of on them.

maybe they faked the manned moon landing but sent an unmanned probe to the moon, which is why the soviets didn’t make a fuss.

Eh human life is expendable to the government, especially back then. If they could probe it I wouldn’t be shocked if they’d send dudes up there just to say they did.

maybe the 9/11 attacks were real but the attackers were actually real guys who were persuaded to do it by some gov.

We gave em’ enough reason to hate us to do it on their own but I’d buy DC saw it coming and let it happen as an excuse to pass the patriot act.

That second bit exists w/ freeipa+ansible
