It wasn’t slowing down the phones at different battery percentages, they were essentially derating the hardware under the premise of battery management, and iirc they got called out and said “you’re right, but buy new phones anyway, yours are old.” I don’t recall the specifics, but it just seemed super shady.

Some women never grow out of their “bad boys” phase, so there’s that.

Not lately.

It really does just look like heat dissipation from rooftop heat exchangers, not gasses out of an exhaust. I’m sure that building uses (and wastes) an ungodly amount of power, but I’d imagine it’s grid-tied, and therefore any noxious gases are being generated elsewhere (with the exception of on-site backup generators).

I’m all for telling AI to fuck off, but let’s at least have the facts straight.

“Battery degradation”

He’s still cranky that spewing racist shit at his predominantly Hispanic high school led to consequences, fuck him.

1 gunman, thousands of protesters. Hmmm.

The children ninos yearn for the mines

I think the reason they shot those two women was because they gauged that no one around would do anything about it. If people begin to threaten harm to these cowards, I’d hope they think twice about it. There’s more of us than them, and they’ll eventually push people to the point where they feel they have nothing left to lose.

They can paint a giant dick all over me for all I care, and they can still go fuck themselves.

Anymore, all discourse is plagued with disinformation and dishonesty. It seems like anyone with a microphone is trying to spin every possible situation to gain followers or attract people to their side of the conversation, and at some point we need to ignore the chatter and start looking at the world with our own eyes, not through a phone screen.

Yeah, but the sad part is is that way too many people will blindly follow suit

Fuck that, they’ll have to kill me before I leave my home.

Imo, when the feds/police start attacking without provocation, fight back.

“Make America’s Wealthy Able to Subjugate Everyone Else Again”

Either tacos/burritos, or any Asian noodle soup (pho, ramen, udon)

Right on, keep fighting the good fight.

As a Californian, while I’m sure we have the thoughts and prayers support from others across the country and world, I suspect we’re pretty much on our own. It won’t be long before other blue states are fighting their own similar fights against hostile takeover, and red states are cheering this shit on because “Commiefornia.” And honestly, people are, but city councils are also doing their own balancing acts, if they aren’t already MAGA infested. There isn’t really a unified response as of yet, but I suspect that’ll change as more of CA becomes threatened.

Especially considering it is directly violating the will of the people, at least in the locality it’s being executed in.

IANAL, but I’m guessing it’s to bring a sense of legitimacy to an otherwise batshit insane order. I feel like the Fed knows what they’re doing is illegal, but phrasing it this way makes it seem sane to their base (who too are batshit insane).
