I don't know what part of "bothsides!!" you find as being valid when both sides are not acting equally.

One "side" is very much advancing the agenda of transparency and release. One is not.

That makes them very much unequal, which invalidates your theory.

You are making a very false assumption that motivations and policy never change over time. That's an equally ridiculous foundation to base an argument on. Things change, and policy changes to reflect those changed things, and it happens all the damn time.

Which is all well and good if you're talking about something you can easily replace.

Do realize that when someone spends $130M on a passenger jet, they expect to get a couple decades service out of it, and they aren't going to be ripping out the electronics every other year to upgrade like it's a PC - they upgrade things when they will either get more service revenue out of it (i.e. there's an RoI to be had), or if it's required on an airworthiness directive for safety.

Some of these systems were created before ECC was a thing. And more of them are using industrial components that are designed to work within a very specific range of operating conditions (temperature and power consumption being incredibly important) that even today may not be able to accept ECC RAM - for example, do you know of an off-the-shelf ARM64 CPU that can run inside of 15W and supports ECC? Neither does anyone else. Yet there are companies that are making avionics hardware that is not part of critical safety systems that run on ARM64 because of the power / heat dissipation problems.

It's a very difficult problem space without getting inordinately expensive due to having to make custom hardware at every single turn.

You do know that every single person doesn't have to be in the target demographic for a product, yeah?

If a small car doesn't offer you the needed features, DON'T BUY ONE.

That doesn't mean that it isn't a perfectly viable product for literally millions of other people with different conditions and constraints from yourself.

Because you don't understand that a prosecutor is not going to torpedo their own conviction on appeal by releasing everything and tainting future jury pools, should the case be remanded back to district court for further findings of fact?

Ghislaine Maxwell's Writ of Certiorari was denied on October 8 of this year by SCOTUS, exhausting all appeals.

Learn how the courts work please. Until all appeals are exhausted, the case files remain sealed without a court order saying otherwise. End of story. Asking why that is and trying to blame a President who kept his shit-digging hands OUT of the Department of Justice shows that you have no idea how any of this works.

Maybe the unanimous consent passage in the Senate will change your position?

Or perhaps every single Democrat in the House voting for the release of the files?

Or perhaps the great lengths gone to by the GOP leadership to prevent that vote to begin with? They held the House out of session for SIX WEEKS to delay the vote as long as possible while putting Republican members that signed the discharge petition in a headlock to get them to take their names off it - why?

Open your god damn eyes and stop with the "bothsides" bullshit. There is clearly one "side" that is acting in good faith, and one that is not. And you are arguing in bad faith for the side that is acting in bad faith, so just stop it.

NASA's fiscal year 2026 budget proposal, though, zeroed out funding for MAVEN, which cost $22.6 million to operate in 2024. MAVEN was one of several missions "operating well past the end of prime mission" the proposal would terminate, despite MAVEN's role as a communications relay.

Even more winning! It's wearing me out!!

Sorry, arresting under color of law without the due process of law is indeed unlawful detainment as spelled out by about 200 years of jurisprudence and the literal interpretation of the 5th Amendment to the Constitution. And if you go over state lines with your unlawful detainment, it's technically human trafficking.

EVERYONE gets due process, whether an "undocumented" or not. If you are geographically within the boundaries of the United States or its protectorates, you are guaranteed due process. Unless, of course, you happen to have brown skin apparently.

Open your damn eyes.

Except that you are describing the actual Congressional Review Act, which allows the Congress to tell the administration to go fuck themselves if they take issue with any administrative regulation that is proposed to be entered into the Federal Register under authority granted to it by Congress.

TL;DR: the Congress can change any administrative law they want, any time they want; because legislative law supercedes administrative regulatory authority created by legislative law.

And yet it's the Democratic leadership in the Congress forcing the issue on releasing all the documented evidence about the Epstein mess, not giving a single shit if anyone in the Democratic Party is named. They (rightfully) see this as an opportunity to clean house and get rid of the corrupt felon child abusers and sex traffickers while the GOP has been coddling and covering up for them.

I don't know how many "well ackshually..." posts I've seen alluding to Clinton getting wrapped up in all of this, followed by a litany of actual Democrats saying "so what? Child molesters need to go no matter what party affiliation they claim or what their name is" which there is never any response to.

Why is the GOP still trying to make it all go away with ever-increasing distraction? Who are they covering for?

... give a little ground on the opensource drivers.

In my experience, some Linux systems still need binary drivers for stuff like WiFi or cellular. Just hold your nose while you download the Windows driver and load it with NDISWrapper.

Isn't this just a new way to justify enshitification. The new reality is that you can't speak to a human at all. Press 2 to be asked the same questions again.

That statement seems to be based on what one (apparently ill-informed) author stated. From TFA:

As one author on the KDP Community forums, Leslie Anne Perry, noted, “Previously, I have not enabled DRM on my e-books. My thinking was that I wanted folks to be able to download them to other devices within their own household. However, I think I will enable it on any future e-books. I’m not sure I want people to be able to download them as a PDFs [sic].”

For some reason, she apparently objects specifically to PDF.

I will note that other parts of TFA indicate this may actually be a rather ham-handed attempt on the part of Amazon to discourage authors from choosing to self-publish without DRM. That would not surprise me in the least.

And you thought it was bad when your cloud-dependant IoT device or game bit the dust when the server went away? Imagine a data center or AI based business going dark when Nvidia decides it's time for them to upgrade.

It seems to me that the initial justification to switch to Calibri was pretty spurious, I had always thought printed text with serifs was easier to read.

The switch to TNR seems to be motivated just by anti-inclusion pettyness. Both fonts seem pretty near equivantly functional and "professional" to me.

My laptop looks like crap compared to a TV monitor. Even an older generation TV set.

Really? The Chinese have it*. And I bought a Chinese converter to rescue a few older but still good plasma and even CRT TV sets.

*Probably due to the fact that this is where our Windows machines come from.
