Do you have any examples of sources? You say you can look this up, then don't give a source.

Supreme Court already held that Cell Phone searches require a warrant. So this seems unlikely to have been a constitutional warrantless search. That makes destroying evidence a weak argument, he didn't destroy any evidence they had any legal basis to look at, since cell phones require a warrant and he didn't have one. The usual rule that border searches don't require a warrant, I don't think the recent cell phone ruling will have an exception added for the border search rule, but that can be litigated.

The problem here is that he: 1. asked for a lawyer and 2. wasn't given a lawyer and 3. was held for a long time without access to a lawyer.

I think him wiping the device is reasonable if he wasn't able to go free and wasn't given the lawyer.

If I was the judge, I would bar the government from prosecuting him because he was held without a lawyer for an extended period of time.

Like I mentioned, they need a better PinePhone. The excuse Pine64 gave for not making a real premium PinePhone Pro is that if it was expensive "nobody would buy it".

In reality, there are lots of people who would gladly pay a premium for a Linux OS phone, who don't buy and use a PinePhone because it's a dated piece of low quality e-Waste.

The closest thing we have to a quality Linux phone right now is the FLX1s+ and that's still low mid-range at best. At least it's usable.

You are making up bullshit. If you read the post, Pine64 did not say they could not get parts. They specifically talked about the prices as being the reason.

I can go buy the specific components, DRAM and eMMC on NewEgg, mouser, digikey etc. if I want to right now. The prices are high, but they are available. Pine64 made a conscious choice to discontinue the product instead of maintaining stock at market prices.

I've known pine64 was a joke for a while, but they really just shut down production? You should be able to keep products in stock if you raise the prices. If they choose not to, they aren't doing business, they are protesting component costs. In reality, pine64 has not been driven by market forces for some time, they reliably have stock outs and dont properly use pricing to manage stock or moderate demand. They also refuse to make a better pinephone despite there being market demand for it. I'm not sure what Pine64 is, but I'd consider it more of a religion than a company.

This is evil, and it should be stopped by any means nessecary. And I mean ANY.

I don't think this will be a big issue. Apple has been notorious for, like Linux, being good at not using a lot of RAM on their OS, unlike Microslop.

If "successful" means importing high income people in large numbers to drive up housing costs, while not importing tradesmen, yes. H1B and similar visas are a terrible idea once you realize what they do to the native population. By importing only the most skilled tech people you drive up labor costs, put pressure on housing, and worsen income inequality all while draining wealth from the host country as the immigrants send portions of their income to foreign family members. The idea that a country will become rich by importing highly skilled workers is a myth. We don't need to be importing migrants during a housing shortage. And what has Sundar done for the USA? Cut wages, layoffs, and "improved shareholder value" whilst making the world a worse place for regular Americans who aren't invested in Google stock. Microsoft has faltered, while contributing to a AI bubble and squeezing ads into Windows, invaded people's privacy, driving up RAM prices through shady investments. I can see why this isn't "successful" but rather an abject Failure. Creating high income households for foreigners at the expense of citizens isn't and should never be the goal. That is what has happened though, and this arrangement never benefitted average Americans.

No you can't. Statutory damages are awarded per infringed work, not per copy of infringement. They are specifically designed for when you don't know how many copies were infringed.

I'm not sure that's a valid argument. Men and women apply different strategies. You'd need to examine the relative performance of men vs women and see if a gender blind process affected their acceptance rate. To my knowledge, the only studies that compared gender blind admittance vs gender known found that women were more likely to be admitted. However, that study iirc was for software engineers, so I don't know if it holds true for medical school. I think men are a minority at schools, so it's possible that the schools discriminate in favor of them, but the evidence isn't solid one way or the other and both of you are just speculating based on incomplete information. However, I will not that you are not being civil, given the evidence on your side is just as weak.

The fundamental problem is that this discrimination by ISPs should itself be illegal, and then the platforms should be treated as speakers.

Section 230 should be repealed. I do think we need total immunity in a few cases, VPS/cloud hosts, CDNs, DNS, P2P nodes and ISPs should have absolute immunity for what their customers transmit. Assuming they are also obligated to host and dont have the right to censor. Without an obligation on service providers to host, we would be in a worse place post-230. But eliminating 230 for "platforms" while adding common carrier status for infra services would improve internet diversity.

Of everything uses displayport, hdmi will die off. Consoles are the main driver, so the steam machine going displayport will create a massive incentive for TVs to use displayport. Displayport to HDMI can be bundled with the machine.

Sounds like a valid antitrust suit... or would be but for the insane court system which ignores most anticompetitive actions.
