Unreasonable search and seizure... you need a search warrant.

Without a search warrant?
Yup, and requiring a warrant is nearly the same as no requirement at all. Indeed, since at least 2015, many FISA warrants were, recently issued despite flawed or plainly illegally obtained.
From an article:
"the OIG reviewed 29 FISA applications from eight FBI field offices to check for compliance with mandatory “Woods Procedures.” Those procedures require agents to compile supporting documentation for each fact contained in a FISA application to ensure that they are “scrupulously accurate.” The OIG found four of the 29 didn’t have any Woods file at all; the other 25 all contained multiple deficiencies:'“Although all 29 FISA applications that we selected for review were required by FBI policy to have Woods Files created by the case agent and reviewed by the supervisory special agent, we have identified 4 applications for which, as of the date of this memorandum, the FBI either has been unable to locate the Woods File that was prepared at the time of the application or for which FBI personnel suggested a Woods File was not completed.”
“Additionally, for all 25 FISA applications with Woods Files that we have reviewed to date, we identified facts stated in the FISA application that were: (a) not supported by any documentation in the Woods File, (b) not clearly corroborated by the supporting documentation in the Woods File, or (c) inconsistent with the supporting documentation in the Woods File."
The government isn't playing bu the rules now,. and hasn't for years, probably decades. More rules will not be enough to change this.

And proper retaliaiton for military air base noise after you've bought your house directly underneath the air traffic pattern (this is a big thing near where I live) is to demand your sales agent/broker, seller, builder, all make you whole and solve your problem - no doubt by relocating you.
Thsi is such a big deal near where I live that now, if you are in the real estate sales business, even if you are not actually at work, but are in that city, even just visiting, you must carry an 8.5"x11" full color map of the air base, surrounding area, and the boundaries of noise level and potentially offfending aircraft operations. To be found without it will cause a $500 fine. Every time you are found such, even if you are merely having lunch with your daughter. Yeah, they aggressively enforce this. Retaliation.
And on nearly the opposite side of the valley, when GM sold off its proving grounds, the space was immediately touted as a unique opportunity for a new and massive residential development. And right in the traffic pattern of a nearby airport. The city zoned it specifically to prevent residential development without exception. And yes, several developers have made concerted efforts to change this. So far, no success, and hopefully they avoid this mistake. Avoiding retaliation.
iPhone users don’t have to care, they’re not using the RAM overconsumption shit sandwich of Android+Chrome.
As is so often the case, the non iPhone users wrongly consider their pachydermic use cases to be EVERYONE’s use cases.
8Gb is more than enough for my mother’s MB Air. She only uses Safari, iMessage and Pages. That’s many tasks as Apple correctly said and she does not need a pompous self entitled PC Gamer “journalist” with slovenly multiple tab habits to tell her that she should have paid $200 more for her Mac.
My Mac’s have more memory, but then I run multiple VM’s and don’t need the advice of a pompous self entitled PC Gamer “journalist” to know how much RAM I need either.
Yes, I'm old.
The 60s had the best music. Actual lyrics, etc.
I still prefer to listen to "classic rock" over anything else.
This article is confirmation of what I have been thinking. There is no good new music.
We have the same problem (probably worse) in the US where the Republicans (conservatives) aren't interested in doing anything except gumming up the works and persecuting immigrants, poor people and cutting social services (health, housing, food, education, retirement).
That's the first thing I noticed in TFA. 'engineers will be needed to operate...'.
It's now sop to hire engineers to operate equipment? That used to be the role of technicians. A different strata.
Boeing was doing just fine despite several crashes caused by their stupid outdated design.
It's only after many years and multiple failures that things started to catch up with them.
Isn't capitalism great!
Corporations are required to maximize shareholder profit over safety, environment, etc.
Yes.
Tesla does a good job of maintenance keeping their chargers operational (99+%).
Everybody else lets them rot.
These new government regulations now specify a 97% up time to qualify for the subsidy
These are farmed bees. They are destroying wild bee populations.
Just like all farming, monocultures and "best practices" destroy nature.
But what I didn’t know was that by keeping bees I would only be helping one species of bee – the domesticated honeybee, which doesn’t really need saving – and possibly harming others.

It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
