I love the game, that show sounds really fun!

Interesting, had no idea about its origin story.

Also… of course

In June 2006 a Rockingham school inquiry was launched after parents complained of the traumatic effects classroom Mafia was having on their fifth-grade children. Davidoff responded to the reports, saying that as a parent who had studied child psychology for 25 years, he felt that the game could “teach kids to distinguish right from wrong”, and that the positive message of being honest could overcome the negative effects of an “evil narrator” moderating the game as if it were a scary story.

We can just skip straight to depose.

I think it was targeted at the accelerator pedal.

The pedal cover was designed to be attached with industrial adhesives, but when it got to the production line, they were having trouble installing it and some production line manager/workers decided to add some soap to it/the process to get it to slide on better.

This ruined the adhesives and the pedal on some vehicles it slipped off, potentially keeping it stuck down if it wedged itself right, triggering a recall where they riveted it on.

INB4: OMG ADHESIVES? Yes, industrial adhesives can be very strong and are already used all over cars. You just don’t put soap on them… SMH

Of all the games they try to demonize, they demonize a game type people have played at home for decades at parties, in person, with no computers.

Brilliant.

90s house party game here, I’m sure people played it earlier.

That said, I think the core concern can be rephrased in a way that gets at the essence, and to me there’s still a live issue that’s not relieved simply by noting that this requires probable cause.

Well ya. The whole thing is really fucked in the first place. It’s very disturbing that it was ruled they can compel biometics in any circumstance.

In a far off future, this ruling would probably even allow a mind reading device to figure out a PIN, which would be protected, because they didn’t force you to say it, and reading electrical signals isn’t really any different than reading ridges on a finger.

There’s no reason a company couldn’t release the info legally unless it was under something like AML (anti money laundering) laws and you were flagged as a criminal. They legally can’t disclose why in that case.

Using a different OS isn’t reason enough, if they were telling the truth about the legal restrictions.

It’s used to help secure the businesses app yes. It helps with things like preventing resource abuse which would cost the company money. E.g. querying mass amounts of data on a loop to increase the companies bill.

Right, but they can’t just do it without reason which he was implying, and he replied to me with

“Yea but that wasn’t the point of me pointing it out. The point was that they don’t need to resort to such measures in order to clandestinely acquire your unlocked phone.”

In this case he was on parole where they have the right to search him. That mention of blood draw etc, you’re already under arrest and they can search your person anyway.

I’m not aware of any law where a cop can walk up to you on the street and demand they unlock your phone with biometrics and search it without cause.

They need a warrant or probable cause for that, but yes they can compel it unlike a password. It’s still a search and needs to be lawfully done in the first place.

Today we mourn @el_abuelo as he was not able to get proper treatment. UHC had denied his claim for prayers, but it took months to even get that, and by the time they were ready to make a judgement on thoughts, he had passed away.

The problem isn’t vaping, but what you’re vaping and with what.

Cheap vapes you might get contaminants from the vape itself which are unhealthy. They get very hot, and quality control on these things is abysmal.

The second problem is the actual liquid. What goes into these with all the flavor crap isn’t regulated well and sometimes chemicals are being added that are harmful to us and cause problems, sometimes faster and worse than smoking cigarettes would have.

Now, if you have a good vape, and a proper vape liquid (probably neutral, no additives), it will be safer than regular cigarettes.

don’t give them any ideas

is this not about pirating if it’s a single player game?

Laying down in bed was the way to play. It was great.

Ya that’s our employment insurance. Glad you were able to get back on your feet!

Many many years ago I worked a job where we had to keep an eye on the call center call queue/employees call status on the phone.

Someone always has to keep an eye on it, so if you need to go for a break, even just to use the washroom, if you’re the only one on shift, you asked one of the team leads to watch it.

Had been like that for years.

Well, we had a brand new manager for our team who was an offsite manager at another call center, and my other coworker was in a very long meeting that day so I was all alone watching things.

I was really hungry, feeling sick from it, so I asked one of the team leads as usual to watch things while I took a break and went across the street to grab some fast food and come back.

Well, while I was gone for like 10minutes, the manager had called our desk (we have voice mail) and realized no one was there.

He reamed me out for having left the desk unattended, and how I should have waited for my coworkers meeting to end which wasn’t ending anytime soon.

Didn’t care that I’d had a TL cover for me as we’d always done.

Next day, HR calls me into their office and puts me on formal notice for it.

I quit the next day. Fuck that shit.

Were you on EI still when you found the job?

That’d be a fun story to tell them why you need to restart it.

The Android OS is very hostile to background processes running.

The rules around what’s okay and what’s not is constantly changing, so apps that need to run things in the background are constantly having to update things so they can work properly and sometimes they don’t, or they do it wrong, and then certain features don’t work properly like push notifications or schedules events.

Then, even if the developer does everything perfectly you get OEMs like Samsung that ignore the rules and fuck with your app anyway, and the literal only way to stop it is to go into the OS setting and disable a lot of things, which puts the onus on the user, and not the developer to make the app work.

But Samsung is such a bitch that even then they don’t honor your settings and sometimes revert them, or add new ones that fuck with it again in a constantly changing hard to find nested settings menu.

I actually do like my Samsung phone, but god damn fuck you Samsung for doing this.

If you want a phone that at least follows the ever changing rules properly, get a pixel.

Is it storing it or is it accessing the original content?

Hey siri summarize finances.txt and it opening the file to summarize is different than it having its own copy stored somewhere.
