"We're not going to change humans, and humans make bad decisions," Langley said. "What we can do is make sure that they know if you use this tool, you will be held accountable...."

Wow he's right,

So maybe what we could do instead is to outlaw mass surveillance and warrantless surveillance, whether government-owned or corporate, across the country.

We could even have a constitutional amendment! Let's call it #4. The OLD 4th amendment doesn't seem to be doing anything; we can call this one '4th-Prime'.

Sure, but with that clowny '100 mile' border zone, roughly 2/3 of Americans live "at the border", allowing the Feds to abrogate the Constitution whenever they feel like it.

So if some laws do not apply, why don't all laws not apply?

Understand, I'd come down on the side of the 4th Amendment, not on the side of the right to rob, rape and pillage within 100 miles of the border.

I don't think the Feds should be able to have it both ways at once.

That authority derives from a finding that until someone is admitted into the US, they're "outside the border" and thus the Constitution's 4th Amendment protections do not apply.

"Outside the border" has laughably been imagined to be "within 100 miles of an International border", which Hartsfield, the world's busiest International airport, is.

So if you're "outside the border", how can American laws against wiping your phone apply?

Search for Contraband is not called out in the Constitution nor in the Bill of Rights.

And speech is not contraband anyway.

Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Couple things:

1. I carry a Chromebook for international travel, because I can wipe it to bare metal BEFORE I cross a border.

2. If this guy is not in the US for the purpose of applying the constitution, why is he in the US for the purpose of charging him with a crime for wiping his phone?

Late to update this, but my Parallels VM (VM environment for Mac - in competition with VMWare Fusion) has in Device Manager:

"Generic Monitor (Parallels Vu)"

So the LG hardware isn't exposed to Win 11 via Parallels, and LG crapware won't download for it.

No telling how VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox handle this.

It probably works this way under Parallels because Parallels allows your VM screen to be resized on the monitor, and because it allows "seamless" integration of Windows and Mac apps on one screen. It might HAVE to emulate a monitor.

YMMV.

Maybe corrected.

3-to-9 errors are common when using keypads: phone and computer keypads are inverted one to the other: 3 on one is 9 on the other, and vice versa. If you're not paying attention, it's really easy to do.

Seems unlikely.

That you would even try something like this and assume it will go down smoothly means that if you got an MRI, they'd find nothing but cork inside your skull.

People have a super-difficult time imagining the hateful experiences they want to impose on others. Anyone who comes up with an idea like this ought to have to live inside their own design for an ad-soaked Hell for a solid month before they're allowed to put it forward.

They're accelerating VERY rapidly. In between the time that the Europeans read this and the time Americans see it, there's relativistic length contraction.

I think there's a difference between Apple "users" and Apple "fanbois". I'm one of the former, but not one of the latter.

I dislike intensely what Apple has become as a company. I don't use most of their software empire, have the stupid cloud blocked (because they're Internet amateurs), hate the dumb "we changed your file because you opened it" model they try to use to replace "Save As", can't stand the fake "green" orientation (please tell me how green it is to CNC mill a computer case out of aluminum vs. stamping it or injection molding it...), hate that they want to control passkeys for me, plenty more than this.

I don't look down on people who make different choices in hardware or software. I use a Mac 'cuz it's a really nice machine (and yeah, it's expensive, but I use the crap out of it all the time).

The current one is the best of many satisfactory Mac purchases. But I hate the stupid iPhone because of the dumb way the OS works, and the control Apple foists on the user. I use an Android (which, of course has its own set of problems, but is a better fit for me). I've got a number of Linux machines - servers, Raspberry Pis and a Desktop machine, and because you sometimes _have_ to, I have a Windows VM. Easy enough to get around on all of 'em.

Simply owning an Apple product is no better reason to throw shade than skin color, gender, or "he's such a geek".

Drinking the Apple Kool-Aid is a completely different matter. I've known a couple of those guys...

Feed the kids. Pay the rent. Gas the car. Pay the student loan.

Or rent a $1000 feel-good telephone.

Driving the generation of SUPER FREAKY AI PR0N!!!!

I'm pretty shocked SQL injection is still a thing, at least among BFD apps and platforms. (Hobbyists, self-taught and CSCI 101, sure. You don't know 'til you know).

Doesn't SQL injection require that your code clobbers together a query with string concatenation?

And therefore, doesn't it collapse completely if you parameterize queries?

Maybe I'm missing something here, but it seems like you could audit for query string concatenation and prohibit this practice.

And...I run it.

Already updated before I saw this.

Sure, but I dunno if the monitor is exposed directly to Windows, as it has to connect through the dongle, through macOS, through Parallels before it gets to Win11.

My very recent LG is hooked to my Mac, through a dongle-dock and I haven't noticed this behavior on my sparsely-used but regularly updated Win11 VM (Parallels) - but will warily check it out PDQ.

Wondering at what layer the monitor hardware is detected to do this.
