California Labor Code 96(k) would keep Google from firing them for "lawful conduct occurring during nonworking hours away from the employer's premises" -- but even if we assume the protest was lawful, they violated both the "nonworking hours" and "away from the employer's premises" parts.
They might go after government and military systems rather than target civilians in cyber warfare.
I'm just spitballing here, though.

I have to opposite problem: my x86-64 laptop is from 2016, so I would have to use a workaround to put Windows 11 on it. It's a lot easier to update Ubuntu LTS every other year.
How big a chunk? Assume an 8Kx2K monitor setup: 16 million pixels. Assume 4 bytes per pixel for HDR, and double buffering. That's 128 MB, or 1/64th of the 8 GB of even an entry level laptop, and a quarter of what was complained about as a large web-browser tab.
I don't think it's exactly reasonable to count, say, textures against it because most 3D apps using that would need to keep a copy of textures in non-video RAM anyway: you would be penalizing the unified memory scheme by forcing it to emulate a non-unified scheme.
None of those exceptions support the idea that "instructions on how to commit certain crimes" are illegal to say.
I mean, the US Supreme Court said that (US) courts cannot assume that burning a cross in someone's yard is an attempt to intimidate anyone -- the First Amendment protects expression, and by golly, somebody might have a different reason for burning a cross in someone's yard. Even when, as in that Supreme Court case, defendants burned a cross without permission on a Black person's lawn (two of the appellants) or during a literal KKK rally (the third appellant).
Tunisia is not in the Middle East.
From Tunisia, go east across all of Libya, and THEN -- once you cross into Egypt -- you're in the Middle East.
The comment you replied to was taking about what AI companies are trying to do, or should try to do, not about what US governments can require them to do.
Property tax is an even more striking example, where the rates often vary even within a county. Where I live, property (real estate) taxes have a base rate of 1.135% per year with a bunch of add-ons for various tax districts, some limited to commercial property only. The next county over has a base tax rate for real estate of 0.865% instead.
The analysis you are probably citing for "Texans pay more than Californians in taxes" is wrong -- laughably so, for example by imagining that California's typical home value is the same as the national median of $245,000: https://www.cato.org/blog/are-...
I understand the logic, but it's not valid: if Google didn't say that Premium subscribers would be allowed to use adblockers, then the OP was just assuming that was allowed.
Not that I am on Google's side here -- I don't use YouTube enough to care about ads there -- but I wanted to know if the OP was actually claiming that Google did something wrong or just something that the OP didn't like.
I am confused. The advertising I see for YouTube Premium calls it "ad-free", not "adblocker-allowed". Are they actually showing ads to those users, or does some of their advertising say they allow ad blockers?
Well, I've gotten comfortable not owning Ubisoft games. Companies that are not so user-hostile still get my money.
Spectre is an information leak through a side channel. The attacker tricks other code (such as the kernel) into making a branch that is followed by code that affects the CPU state based on secret information -- such as loading value X into the cache if some secret bit is 1. The CPU will erase the effect of the speculatively executed code on registers, but not the cache, so the attacker can see how long it takes to load value X after the vulnerable "widget" runs.
The information leak is not nearly as direct as you seem to think it is.
By your definition, a car that one drives while standing would be a walkable amenity. I'll leave it to readers smarter than you to decide whether that makes any sense at all.
Didn't you get the memo? Instead of doing something risky like putting your passwords in a file on your cloud, you're supposed to securely record them on a sticky note stuck to your monitor.
