Yep. It's for security.... but not YOUR security. It's to let others be secure from the user. The "trust" part of the TPM isn't there to let you trust the computer, it's so others can trust it. Or, in this case, build up a database of who not to trust.

Cool. Cool cool cool.

So cancel every contract Flock has with any government organization, and remove them from government / public property, and this problem is solved.

It's so great we can be in agreement.

I think you are underestimating the barriers that the Trump administration is putting in place to make things difficult for people going through the same route as you did in the past.

The lawyer is there to help you when things don't go according to plan.

Even in the past, it wasn't so smooth for everyone. In the days when you submitted your own fingerprints, the INS kept "losing" the fingerprints a friend of mine submitted for his Green Card application. Bizarrely, they approved his wife's application. Bizarre because her application was dependent on his.

What a garbage argument. They sell it to the government. The government is partaking of these services. THE GOVERNMENT IS VIOLATING THE 4TH AMENDMENT!!!! ....using Flock cameras.

Was this really so hard to extrapolate? Now, if Flock wants to set up cameras on THEIR property and record things and NOT GIVE IT TO THE GOVERNMENT! Then, hey, sure, THEN you have an argument. But the moment that any form of US government made any sort of contract, Flock started performing actions for the government and the 4th amendment is being violated.

Agreed. That at least is a good take. And yet it doesn't change the fact that this citizen is very fucking pissed at the illegal programs being paid for with my tax dollars. So you can suck this relevant fact in this democracy.

Oh SO YOU KNOW IT'S A FUCKING PROBLEM! Because guess what the damn contracts with Flock or Axon allow them to do!?

I can't believe you explicitly wrote such a garbage turd and tried to float it on Slashdot.

Please do let us in on the joke and share your explanation of what you find so funny about this phrase.

It speaks to his impotence. He can't take these countries, but he can order people to start calling them something else. He shits on whoever he can. Increasingly that means Americans.

This is what happens when everyone you have contact with is a yes-man or a tech shill. You think this kind of baby-babble makes some kind of sense. You think it sounds like anything but shilling.

The US version of HIGNFY is not a patch on the BBC version.

ADORABLE.

Now, quick question: Do they sell to the government? Is the government partaking of these services? IS THE GOVERNMENT THEN VIOLATING THE 4TH AMENDMENT (using Flock cameras)? Then we have a problem here.

Seriously, do you also think the CIA murdering people is hunky dory just because a non-government corporation made the gun and the bullet?

I am a US citizen and shall be secure in my person and papers. If they have a dragnet of everyone's personal information (their location at all times) and have to search through it, they need a specific warrant signed by a judge.

But there's a simple test: Is your senator okay with someone following them around with a camera every moment they're observable from public land? No? Then applying this sort of scrutiny to the citizens is obviously bullshit.

Won't someone PLEASE think about the poor corporate overlords?

They're only violating the constitution so that they can hire more employees!

And frankly, all the hate goes does for the next Flock company. Axon? They KNOW how much people hare their rights being violated and they're doubling down on it?

Sounds more like a Hegseth thing.

I think it misses an important point about the seals. The seals are designed to work with a higher pressure outside the sub. With a pressure differential in the opposite direction, I suspect that they might leak a lot.

You know the term "Edumucashun" was created to make fun of people without one? Are you trying to reclaim it, like the N-word?

"Adult on Facebook" isn't functionally much different than "child".

Some run through Proton, many don't, even some that are claimed to. You may want to take a closer look at those compatibility ratings.

Outer Worlds is listed as "Playable" on Steam, but cut scenes don't work. A story-driven RPG is not "playable" without cut scenes.

The "Verified" rating is what actually denotes a playable game. With those, you still often get graphical glitches and performance issues. Everspace 2 was definitely playable with Proton, micro-stuttering made the Windows version the clear preference.

The games that I've ran well on Linux tend to be older, low-key graphics, or more "casual" fair. Klonoa, Digimon Story: Time Stranger, and Psychonauts 2 all played wonderful on Linux.
