Agreed. A fine example is the metric system. The USA insists on using a system where 12in=1ft, 3ft=1yd and so on.

Where as 10mm=1 cm, 10cm=1m, 10m=Dm. Super simple. Not to mention liquid vs dry measurements; oz-lb or oz-cup.

What would make you think a country that accepts that kind of confusion would ever think of adopting a easy to read license plate?

Yes you are correct about jamming being a violation of the FCC. While I agree two wrong do not make a right. Isn't cutting down and destroying property (the systems) a violation of a law also?, interfering with law enforcement by obstructing the cameras view, and what about the constitutional violations created by mass surveillance or a searchs of persons, place or things without probable cause?

Lesser invasive systems have been deemed anti-constitutional like plain old traffic light cameras over the years and shut down.

I guess the real way to prevent these systems from being purchased and used by government entities and even corporation that can afford these systems is by getting judges to dismiss cases that use these methods similar to how traffic light cameras, searches without probably cause and/or a warrant, tapping phones without a warrant, forcing confessions, violations of civil rights, speeding tickets without actual proof and in many jurisdictions seatbelt use violations as a primary cause for a traffic stop.

Yes, they still all do occur and largely pertain to the USA; but still deemed illegal by a court somewhere.

I am not saying we should not challenge these violations as that is exactly how change happens. But the real instrument that can stop their use sits directly in the courts/judges laps.

While the city that is placing plastic bags over the cameras is making a step in the right direction by blocking the view of the camera it does nothing for the rest of the system, namely the electronic tracking aspect. Placing a large mylar type anti-static bag over the camera would probably work better in that it should block the electronic portion of the system also.

I wonder if a military/police dazzeler and a radio signal jammer would be effective also.

The phrase everyone should give the answer away. Everyone is an absolute word, meaning without exception. Not everyone cheats their way through life, or in this case college. Do some, or many? Sure they do. Does everyone or all students? No.

Disney cruise ship collides with another Disney cruise ship. Both skippers were stoned, just wanted to high-five as they passed eachother.

Disney releases movie called "When Paths Cross", about 2 ships that collide, "The events and characters depicted in this movie are fictitious. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental"

Disney makes a killing (pun intended) at the box office.

No one can sue due to having a ESPN, HULU, ABC or Peacock account.

Survivors are given a one-month discount on a.new account for Disney+, so they can watch the movie.

The job market is in the dumpsters because most companies are top-heavy and over-pay their C-level people, who really don't give a sh*t about the company, the product or the employees.

Not because they higher a highly intelligent person who has social issues and has difficulties with sensory input.

Your anger is with the wrong people.

Speaking as a person who has a son who's on the spectrum a cousin, worked with several people who are neurodivergent and spend a ton of time with other kids of all abilities. You have no idea what you are talking about.

My 9 year old son for example can do circles around the average college grad in math and deeply understands many engineering principles, stuff that many know in a text book way, but not fully understand it.

I have a friend, who served 12 years in the U.S. Marines with Aspergers, was an great tech in the civilian world and now is a very excellent Senior Director in a tech company, the kind of Director that fully understands what each person's job is, and had stepped out of his office to give a hand to fill a tech position, with out expecting a pat on the back, JUST BECAUSE.

Yes, not all those that are neurodivergent are like that, but the ones hired by big companies are

Believe it or not neurodivergence is a real thing. I experience it every day.

These companies are going to hire intelligent people who are on the spectrum, not a guy that sits in the corner drooling on themselves laughing because a sock is on crooked.

The people they will hire will match if not exceed they typical employee, but instead of taking a smoke break, will chill somewhere, or need a dimmer, quieter space to work. Seriously who couldn't use some of that? If anything, the neurotypical employee is the dummy, they aren't smart enough to get a better work situation.

I guess you have never met a person on the spectrum. They have the same emotions as you and many of them are very intelligent, maybe not in all fields, sometimes they are imensly engineering, science or art. Knowing many neurodiverse people, I'd rather work with them than a neurotypical, less of the work place BS, usually they are very straight forward.

Plastic in the fetus, rise of AI, sounds like an Isaac Asimov story come to life.

The only thing that will come of this is that a law will be drafted, pushed, and passed in rapid succession to create a stiff punishment for THEIR (politician's) data being breached, nothing will be said of the what were to happen for the rest of us pee-ons.

I've been using Linux since 1995 and as my primary OS since 2004. While Linux has come a long way, it is not ready to replace Windows or or OSX yet and probably not for quite a while.

But it is far from mainstream ready, even you said for people who consider themselves gun hackers. Now, I've been using Linux since the 90's and am fairly well versed, but I shouldn't need that ability for a daily driver.

While I'm glad I supported the phone and I hope for the best of the phone and company, I am a bit disappointed in the phone's performance and the lack of abilities. My phone, my choice. Then I should be about to choose any OS compatible browser I choose. Just try installing Chrome some time, not the most privacy minded browser, but my choice.

The phone is far far far from prime time. The battery lasts 5 hrs in standby, I've had as little as 30 minutes when running video. The camera is a joke, all manual adjustments.

They are so committed to privacy, you cannot even install Chrome browser, but Firefox is ok, and the built in browser is soo s-l-o-w. My phone, my choice, right?!?

I purchased the phone hoping for at least a good phone, ended up with something that I need to contact tech support about monthly just to be told "reflash the phone and send us the log files". I'm still using my Android phone although I planned at this point to switch to my Libre 5, not happening anytime soon.

Me thinks your tin foil hat is on too tight.
