It’s not super comforting knowing that politicians can become brain dead and their day-to-day functioning in government doesn’t change at all.

Right. Behind in the polls against the Republican candidate.

Nope. I believe a remedy is not coming and we are COOKED.

Either I’m confused or perhaps you are. Bernie Sanders, while he happily had my vote a while back, is far past the need to retire. Hunter isn’t running for politics, and El-Sayed is behind in the polls. How are any of these people supposed to help?

He has set the precedent that presidents and their families can not only continue to run businesses while in office, but make governing decisions that lead to profit for those businesses. Oh, and getting payments for advertisements from the Resolute desk, and putting up paid advertisements on government property. Oh, and punish federal funding to states, companies, Universities, etc. for not following his executive orders, which are not laws, but are being treated as such.
The only way to remedy this, I figure, is to have a democrat in office do every. single. thing. he is doing in office, until each thing has a law created by the other branches of government to make it illegal going forward.

He has been convicted. He is a convicted felon. He was also found liable in court for raping a woman.

I think the main issue for insurance companies here is that the $1 Trillion savings would be going to everyday people.

The advantages are starting your car remotely in the hot or cold months to pre-cool/preheat the cabin, defrost the windows, etc. and let the engine warm up for a couple of minutes.

Linux desktop is in a great position now. I’ve been using it long before it was usable for most casual users, but it’s finally reached the point where it has less problems than Windows for my purposes.

Flock cameras are not LPR cameras. They are regular security cameras, with server-based AI. They even show demos to potential customers showing how the their product can search for specific people based on clothes, animal types, children/babies, strollers, carts, etc. across the entire country from one web-based interface. It’s all very Orwellian and I don’t think this issue either starts nor stops with Flock as a company. This type of surveillance is going to be ubiquitous regardless of what company(s) show up for making money from it.

Windows has been increasingly failing at being what an operating system is supposed to be. It’s supposed to bridge the gap between hardware and software, and facilitate the launching and management of applications. Instead, it’s spying on users, collecting private date, silently installing and running software by third-party accessories, displaying ads, etc. It is full of friction when trying to use it, for example, it can’t suspend or shutdown correctly, it’s full of vulnerabilities, etc. …And then there’s Copilot…
Wouldn’t companies also be able to do it on any WiFi device, like a phone or a smart watch?
