Comment A warrant was not required. (Score 1) 146

I was thinking the same as, but I RFAd and read the case. Under Rodriguez v. United States, 575 U.S. 348 (2015), the Court ruled that a search warrant was required. However, he was a parolee, and as a part of his parole, he was subject to warrantless searches. His condition of parole included :

"You shall surrender any digital/electronic device and provide a pass key/code to unlock the device to any law enforcement officer for inspection other than what is visible on the display screen.

This includes any digital/electronic device in your vicinity. Failure to comply can result in your arrest pending further investigation and/or confiscation of any device pending investigation.

Comment Re:Not really an Apple ][e if you're using the Z80 (Score 1) 26

It depends on the Z80 card. I used the Applicard Z80B in my Apple ][+ clone. When booting, it would download the BIOS and BDOS into the 6502 and run that portion. It also used the 6502 memory as a print buffer. I had an additional 128k as a ramdisk.

Comment Artificial Intelligence Screwed up. (Score 2) 282

Google Maps knew it was south of the Masonâ"Dixon line. Since it was, it knew about the historical documents of the Dukes of Hazzard. Therefore, the AI determined that a bridge being out didn't bother a Southerner as a good Southerner would just jump the car as detailed in the historical documents.

The AI didn't realize that all Southerners were not same.
