It would me more like if the police could search your house at any time without one. They come to your house and you flush the toilet and they claim you flushed drugs with no evidence.

We have no evidence the person was involved in a crime, we simply know they destroyed data on a phone.

The argument is that you have no constitutional protections at the border crossing. Which is complete bullshit, but that's their position. Inovking the fifth amendment to not give up a password should be an option for all citizens at any time when engaging with US law enforcement.

Rather than destroy evidence, simply do not take your real phone out of the country. Take a burner phone. Wipe it on the way to the airport.

I would never hand a device that has access to my whole life to someone without a warrant and I wouldn't unlock it (no face ID, it's a password). So the I would take a burner phone with me while traveling internationally. Minimum tooling required for my travel.

We are now picking techology choices not on merit, but on being inclusive and diverse. What is old is new again!

Actually I am not. I'm saying that the attitude above is why I believe the system is broken.

Basically the post I replied to stated that they would not "cut off their nose to spite their face" and stop watching a TV show no matter how terrible the companies policies or owners beliefs may be.

This is why when people say the market decides they are wrong. If you can't sway a companies positions or politics by refusing to shop there then there is no way the market decides anything. The rich decide.

Why would you want to give your money to someone who idealotically is acting against your beliefs?

If I thought the money I was giving to netflix was being used to fight an strongly held core belief I would stop. No different then all those beer drinkers giving up that piss beer because a trans person got a 6 pack.

Fuck that. You want a lawsuit. Sue the police departments, sue flock, sue the state. Where is the ACLU?

When given two options.

1. Use comcast.
2. Get tied down and cream pied in the face.

Which is the better option?

One thing that drives me crazy is that there is a large contigent of people who think the accelerator and the brake are part of a binary system. That when they stop accelerating they must touch the brake. Especially when you are following them on long highway drives and it's just brake light, accelerate, brake light, accelerate, etc.

Learn to control the acceleration so you do not need to touch that brake except to actually stop!

Not every dealer, just the shitty ones. When I bought my BMW I was not asked to buy tire protection, gap protection, or anything else. We negoitated a price for the car. I walked in, signed the paperwork, declined the white glove "BMW experience" and drove off.

I've worked in this industry for 30 years. I've worked for FAANG, I've worked for major insurance companies, major finance firms, huge healthcare clearing houses, consulting firms, and even companies that manufacture tightly controlled equipment for the military and/or firearms.

What is a competently secured IT system? I've never seen one.

I wear a GMT watch. I set the watch to UTC and the GMT hand to local time.

Then if I need to keep track of another office or where I am I just move the GMT hand to the local time I care about.

I love music. My whole life has been playing in bands, going to see concerts and as a child of the 80s standing in long lines to get tickets or disapointment.

The prices of tickets is out of hand. The scalping is out of hand. So I just quit. I see local shows by local musicians or at venues in small towns. I don't care how much I like someone's music I'm not paying hundreds of dollars for the cheap seats to see them.

I mean I wouldn't advise a student to go to college for a career with low pay and college debt. So we either need to reduce the education requirements for things like mental health workers, nurses, and teachers or we need to pay them more.

Exactly. I was shopping recently for a high value item. I found one vendor who had it for sale with a 3% credit card fee. Another vendor had it for sale $1500 less. I asked him if he charged a credit card fee. He said no, that was the out the door price. So I bought it from him.

So the 3% was already in the lower price, but the other vendor was trying to double dip on fees.
