Huh, you sure sounded angry when you double commented and said I insulted you.
I think that might be part of the problem, you can't see the barriers that young people and POC in red states encounter. But just because YOU haven't experienced grappling with disenfranchisement, doesn't mean it isn't there for others. You don't seem to understand that many young people can't vote because of that.
Once again, before you try to move the goal posts once more, the point is that telling disenfranchised people who are not able will not get them on your side and motivate them to get past the cards they have been given. You are being counterproductive to your desire of wanting people to vote when you do that.
Then you ignorantly don't have empathy for those that have been systematically disenfranchised by strict GOP-led voter laws, gerrymandering, and oppression. You could get angry about people voting for the GOP. You could get angry about idiots parting ways with their money to donate to super pacs. You could get angry about so many other things, but here you are, getting angry because someone online told you to have some empathy for another age group that was disenfranchised.
Can you point me to the insult, please?
You seem to be missing my point. I don't care about you enough to argue with you. You aren't going to get young people on your side by telling them that they're the problem. Do you not want to improve these stats you keep bringing up? Apparently not, but if you did actually care about that, you'd have more empathy and understanding rather than just saying that young people aren't going to vote.
Statistics are trending in the other direction. Why not talk about that instead of demoralizing the young voter base any further?
No, I'm not making assumptions. You did that by automatically assuming young people wouldn't vote. I even said "whatever it is that you're doing" in my last comment. Does that sound like an assumption to you?
I don't care who you are. Your original attitude will not cause the younger vote to want to turn out. You are working against your interests (that is, if you want the dems to win, in which case, sure, I assumed that is what you wanted).
Empathy and understanding may improve those stats in your favor, rather than whatever it is you're doing right now. Telling zoomers and millennials that they won't vote before you even give them a chance probably won't motivate them to vote.
Have you seen GPT4o (which was just a way for OpenAI to get away with destroying performance and accuracy to save money)? Or even the kneecapped GPT4 these days? It's actually terrible compared to other LLMs.
Ahhh, shitting on the most disenfranchised age segment on our country. Surely, shitting on them will make them vote and feel good about doing it.
Maybe celebrate the fact that they're even willing to still try to participate, before talking shit regarding an election that hasn't even happened yet?
I stopped playing shortly after OW2 came out. They killed my favorite role (tank) by throwing one of the tanks away, making the tank role miserable to play since the team fights were always on my shoulders. Then, on top of that, they unbalanced everything even more, and had to update maps for 5v5, forever removing some of them from the game.
That was all after the slap in the face that was taking away a game I paid money for to replace it with a broken, microtransaction-ridden experience.
I might be willing to look past the microtransaction BS and play again if they bring 6v6 with some of the original, unmodified OW1 maps.
And it'll be even worse than any existing OpenAI product, which is saying something.
Ah yes, a trans person defending themselves from their abusive, transphobic billionaire father is a "stupid twitter argument".
Why do you feel the need the need to belittle it?
From what I recall their in-house solution combines results from a bunch of search engines, including Google. So I think as long as Google can index it, and as long as Kagi works that way and continues to, it shouldn't be affected.
Huh? I went to the 2002 Olympics, so I don't have other motives. I am literally stating my lived experience, before last year, there was a 5 year stretch of little snow. The resorts (Brighton was where I liked to snowboard) had to frequently close large parts of the mountain for the majority (if not the entire) year.
Yes, I don't doubt the governor and IOC say there will be snow. I don't doubt that there won't be enough snow, artificial or no, for something like this. But the ski resorts, IOC, and governor can't tell the future, especially in 10 years, and they have a huge reason to make people believe what they want, it's tourism money on the line. The ski resorts will sell passes so long as they have one route open, that's their business. It has little to do with the climate.
I really don't know why me commenting my actual lived experience pissed you off so much.
As someone that lived in Utah for over 20 years, snow is not always guaranteed, especially recently. Snow totals have decreased almost every year, with this last winter season being an exception.
In other words, it is unrealistic to say that there will, for a fact, be natural snow. They might have to make artificial snow.
If you absolutely need to search reddit with something other than Google, Kagi can do it. But I don't recommend visiting reddit.
Truly a revolutionary company
Go through China. Although this seemed like a remote position.
I take wixela 500/50 once a day and that's pretty much all I need. I was taking Singulair before, but it was drastically affecting my mood (interestingly, it just got a black box warning) and didn't really seem to do much.
I think it really depends on what your triggers are. Mine are mainly exercise and cold weather.
Why isn't anyone from NK chiming in but we're able to talk about it? That's interesting. It's also interesting that you continue to use the internet if you hate it so much - you don't have to use it, you can be like an NK citizen and not be able to access it. Just stop paying your internet bill and you can experience life like that!
Add a little starvation and manual labor and you'll be set.
Leaked Cellebrite Tool Docs Reveal List of Phones That Can Be Unlocked
> According to the documents, Cellebrite could not unlock any iPhones running iOS 17.4 or newer as of April 2024, labeling them as “In Research.” For iOS versions 17.1 to 17.3.1, the company could unlock the iPhone XR and iPhone 11 series using their “Supersonic BF” (brute force) capability. However, iPhone 12 and newer models running these iOS versions were listed as “Coming soon.”
> The Android support matrix showed broader coverage for locked Android devices, though some limitations remained. Notably, Cellebrite could not brute force Google Pixel 6, 7, or 8 devices that had been powered off. The document also specifically mentioned GrapheneOS, a privacy-focused Android variant reportedly gaining popularity among security-conscious users.
Links to the docs: > iPhone
> Android
GrapheneOS has a thread about this on Mastodon, which adds a bit more detail:
> Cellebrite was a few months behind on supporting the latest iOS versions. It's common for them to fall a few months behind for the latest iOS and quarterly/yearly Android releases. They've had April, May, June and July to advance further. It's wrong to assume it didn't change.
> 404media published an article about the leaked documentation this week but it doesn't go into depth analyzing the leaked information as we did, but it didn't make any major errors. Many news publications are now writing highly inaccurate articles about it following that coverage.
> The detailed Android table showing the same info as iPhones for Pixels wasn't included in the article. Other news publications appear to be ignoring the leaked docs and our thread linked by 404media with more detail. They're only paraphrasing that article and making assumptions.
> We received Cellebrite's April 2024 Android and iOS support documents in April and from another source in May before publishing it. Someone else shared those and more documents on our forum. It didn't help us improve GrapheneOS, but it's good to know what we're doing is working.
> It would be a lot more helpful if people leaked the current code for Cellebrite, Graykey and XRY to us. We'll report all of the Android vulnerabilities they use whether or not they can be used against GrapheneOS. We can also make suggestions on how to fix vulnerability classes.
> In April, Pixels added a reset attack mitigation feature based on our proposal ruling out the class of vulnerability being used by XRY.
> In June, Pixels added support for wipe-without-reboot based on our proposal to prevent device admin app wiping bypass being used by XRY.
> In Cellebrite's docs, they show they can extract the iOS lock method from memory on an After First Unlock device after exploiting it, so the opt-in data classes for keeping data at rest when locked don't really work. XRY used a similar issue in their now blocked Android exploit.
> GrapheneOS zero-on-free features appear to stop that data from being kept around after unlock. However, it would be nice to know what's being kept around. It's not the password since they have to brute force so it must be the initial scrypt-derived key or one of the hashes of it.

How often do I actually need my heat pump system tuned up?
I had a heat pump installed about a year ago. It came with one free service and the installing company has been calling me almost every week to come out and do the complimentary tune up. I know that I obviously should take a free tune up, but it made me wonder. How often do I actually need this done? What are they actually "tuning up"?
Supreme Court leaves in place a Texas law requiring pornographic websites to verify users' ages
The Supreme Court has refused to block a Texas law requiring pornographic websites to verify the age of their users.
> The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to block a Texas law requiring pornographic websites to verify the age of their users.
> The justices rejected an emergency appeal filed by the Free Speech Coalition, a trade association for the adult entertainment industry. The provision of House Bill 1181, signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott, remains in effect even as the association’s full appeal is weighed by the Supreme Court.
> There were no noted dissents from the court’s one-sentence order.
> Similar age verification laws have passed in other states, including Arkansas, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Oklahoma, Utah and Virginia.
> The Texas law carries fines of up to $10,000 per violation that could be raised to up to $250,000 per violation by a minor.
The video details an expansive lunar outpost, but curiously includes CGI of a NASA space shuttle taking off from the moon's surface.
> The China National Space Administration (CNSA) has released a video of its concept for a lunar base to be developed across the next couple of decades.
> CNSA unveiled the video on Wednesday (April 24) as part of the country's annual space day celebrations. The project is known as the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) and was jointly announced in 2021 by China and Russia.
> China is now leading the moon base initiative and attempting to attract international partners for the endeavor. So far, alongside China, Russia, Venezuela, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, Belarus, South Africa, Egypt, Thailand and Nicaragua have joined the initiative, according to Space News.
> One curious detail of the video is the presence of a retired NASA Space Shuttle appearing to lift off from a launch pad in the background.
Tesla facing federal probe days after fatal Autopilot crash in Monroe, WA
Jeffrey Nissen, 28, of Stanwood was on his way home from work on Highway 522 when the Tesla Model S struck his blue 2003 Yamaha R6, Nissen’s fiancee Janae Hutchinson said Thursday.
> Federal auto regulators announced Friday they are opening an investigation into the safety of Tesla’s Autopilot feature, less than a week after a Tesla driver believed to be using it allegedly struck and killed a motorcyclist in Monroe.
> Jeffrey Nissen, 28, of Stanwood was on his way home from work on Highway 522 when the Tesla Model S struck his blue 2003 Yamaha R6, Nissen’s fiancée Janae Hutchinson said Thursday.
> Washington State Patrol spokesperson Chris Loftis said the agency is still investigating whether the Tesla driver was using Autopilot — a combination of cruise control and Autosteer intended to maintain the car’s set speed while keeping a safe distance from other vehicles and in its driving lane. The crash was among a rising number of collisions in Washington involving cars equipped with the technology, mostly Teslas.
> Washington saw 17 such crashes last year compared to 12 in 2022, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data. Of the 35 crashes in Washington involving Autopilot-equipped cars reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration between Sept. 1, 2021 and March 15, 2024, all but three were Teslas, according to the data.
US challenges 'bogus' patents on Ozempic and other drugs in effort to spur competition
The Federal Trade Commission is challenging patents on 20 brand name drugs, including the blockbuster weight-loss injection Ozempic.
> Federal regulators are challenging patents on 20 brand name drugs, including the blockbuster weight-loss injection Ozempic, in the latest action by the Biden administration targeting industry practices that drive up pharmaceutical prices.
> The Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday sent warning letters to 10 drugmakers, taking issue with patents on popular drugs for weight loss, diabetes, asthma and other reparatory conditions. The letters allege that certain patents filed by Novo Nordisk, GlaxoSmithKline, AstraZeneca and seven other companies are inaccurate or misleading.
> Brand-name drugmakers use patents to protect their medicines and stave off cheaper, generic medicines. Most blockbuster drugs are protected by dozens of patents covering various ingredients, manufacturing processes and intellectual property. Generic drugmakers can only launch their own cheaper versions if the patents have expired or are successfully challenged in court.
> “By filing bogus patent listings, pharma companies block competition and inflate the cost of prescription drugs, forcing Americans to pay sky-high prices for medicines they rely on,” said FTC Chair Lina Khan, in a statement.
Russia arrests more journalists in intensifying crackdown on dissent
> Russia has arrested two Russian journalists on “extremism” charges in recent days, the latest moves in a continuing crackdown targeting independent reporters and media outlets. A third Russian journalist, with Forbes Russia, was charged with publishing what authorities called “fake news.”
> The increasing use of anti-extremism laws to prosecute reporters — one piece of a larger campaign to stifle domestic dissent during Russia’s war in Ukraine — is likely to have a further chilling effect on the few independent journalists still operating in Russia, many of them freelancers or employees of small outlets with few legal protections.
> The Associated Press on Saturday reported that video journalist Sergey Karelin, who has worked with the AP, Deutsche Welle and other international outlets had been arrested Friday in the Murmansk region in northern Russia and charged with extremism. He was placed in custody pending trial.
Protests are roiling college campuses across the U.S. as upcoming graduation ceremonies are threatened by disruptive demonstrators, with students and others sparring over Israel’s military offensive in Gaza and its mounting death toll.
> Protests are roiling college campuses across the U.S. as upcoming graduation ceremonies are threatened by disruptive demonstrators, with students and others sparring over Israel’s military offensive in Gaza and its mounting death toll.
> Many campuses were largely quiet over the weekend as demonstrators stayed by tents erected as protest headquarters, although a few colleges saw forced removals and arrests. Many students are demanding their universities cut financial ties with Israel over the large-scale operation in Gaza it says was launched to stamp out the militant Palestinian group Hamas.
> Protesters on both sides of the rancourous debate shouted and shoved each other during dueling demonstrations Sunday at the University of California, Los Angeles. The university stepped up security after “some physical altercations broke out among demonstrators,” Mary Osako, vice chancellor for UCLA Strategic Communications, said in a statement. There were no reports of arrests or injuries.
> About 275 people were arrested on Saturday at various campuses including Indiana University at Bloomington, Arizona State University and Washington University in St. Louis. The number of arrests nationwide approached 900 since New York police removed a pro-Palestinian protest encampment at Columbia University and arrested more than 100 demonstrators on April 18.
Tesla profits nosedive as more job cuts announced
The EV maker brings forward launch plans for new models as profits drop by more than half.
> Tesla has seen its profits more than halve this year, and says it will bring forward the launch of new models after announcing thousands of job cuts to try to reverse its fortunes.
> Despite plans to bring forward new models originally planned for next year the firm is cutting its workforce.
> Tesla said it would lose 3,332 jobs in California and 2,688 positions in Texas, starting mid-June.
> The cuts in Texas represent 12% of Tesla's total workforce of almost 23,000 in the area where its gigafactory and headquarters are located.
Amnesty: World seeing near breakdown of international law amid wars in Gaza and Ukraine
Amnesty International says the world is seeing a near breakdown of international law amid flagrant rule-breaking in Gaza and Ukraine, multiplying armed conflicts, the rise of authoritarianism and huge rights violations in Sudan, Ethiopia and Myanmar.
> The world is seeing a near breakdown of international law amid flagrant rule-breaking in Gaza and Ukraine, multiplying armed conflicts, the rise of authoritarianism and huge rights violations in Sudan, Ethiopia and Myanmar, Amnesty International warned Wednesday as it published its annual report.
> The human rights organization said the most powerful governments, including the United States, Russia and China, have led a global disregard for international rules and values enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, with civilians in conflicts paying the highest price.
> Agnes Callamard, Amnesty’s secretary general, said the level of violation of international order witnessed in the past year was “unprecedented.”
> “Israel’s flagrant disregard for international law is compounded by the failures of its allies to stop the indescribable civilian bloodshed meted out in Gaza,” she said. “Many of those allies were the very architects of that post-World War Two system of law.”
U.S. health officials are warning of counterfeit Botox injections after more than 20 people got sick.
> U.S. health officials issued a warning Tuesday about counterfeit Botox injections that have sickened 22 people.
> Half of the individuals have ended up in the hospital, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The agency issued an alert to doctors on Tuesday.
> The cases started in early November and have been reported in 11 states. The CDC said the shots were administered by unlicensed or untrained individuals or in settings like homes or spas. Most of the people said they got injections of botulinum toxin for cosmetic reasons.
> Six people were treated for suspected botulism, health officials said. When it gets into the bloodstream, botulinum toxin can cause botulism, a deadly disease that starts with double or blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing and difficulty breathing.
Hundreds of high school and college students across the Puget Sound region walked out of school Tuesday to protest Israel’s war against Hamas.
> Hundreds of high school and college students across the Puget Sound region walked out of school Tuesday to protest Israel’s fighting in Gaza.
> Some gathered outside their school’s front offices, where they listened to student leaders chant into megaphones. Others left school and flocked to Cal Anderson Park in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood to do the same. Anywhere from 20 to 150 students turned out at each of a dozen Seattle-area schools, but overall the protests were calm and low-key.
> “We demand a free Palestine,” and “Free, free Palestine,” students chanted at Cal Anderson Park. They carried posters that read “Genocide is never justified” and “Cease-fire now” during a small march down streets in West Seattle.
The Snohomish man had set his car on Autopilot and was looking at his cellphone when he struck a motorcyclist on Highway 522 on Friday, court records show.
> A 56-year-old Snohomish man had set his Tesla Model S on Autopilot and was looking at his cellphone on Friday when he struck and killed a motorcyclist in front of him in Monroe, court records show.
> A Washington State Patrol trooper arrested the Tesla driver at the crash site on Highway 522 at Fales Road shortly before 4 p.m. on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter, according to a probable cause affidavit.
> The motorcyclist, Jeffrey Nissen, 28, of Stanwood, died at the scene, records show.
> The Tesla driver told a state trooper he was driving home from having lunch in Bothell and was looking at his phone when he heard a bang and felt his car lurch forward, accelerate and hit the motorcyclist, according to the affidavit.
> The man told the trooper his Tesla got stuck on top of the motorcyclist and couldn’t be moved in time to save him, the affidavit states.
> The trooper cited the driver’s “inattention to driving, while on autopilot mode, and the distraction of the cell phone while moving forward,” and trusting “the machine to drive for him” as probable cause for a charge of vehicular manslaughter, according to the affidavit.
> The man was booked into the Snohomish County Jail and was released Sunday after posting bond on his $100,000 bail, jail records show.
Google fires 28 employees after protest over Israel cloud contract
The employees were protesting against “Project Nimbus.”
> Google fired 28 employees in connection with sit-in protests at two of its offices this week, according to an internal memo obtained by The Verge. The firings come after 9 employees were suspended and then arrested in New York and California on Tuesday.
> In a memo sent to all employees on Wednesday, Chris Rackow, Google’s head of global security, said that “behavior like this has no place in our workplace and we will not tolerate it.”
> He also warned that the company would take more action if needed: “The overwhelming majority of our employees do the right thing. If you’re one of the few who are tempted to think we’re going to overlook conduct that violates our policies, think again. The company takes this extremely seriously, and we will continue to apply our longstanding policies to take action against disruptive behavior — up to and including termination.”

The Justice Department is poised to sue Apple, accusing the company of violating antitrust laws by blocking rivals from accessing hardware and software features of its iPhone.
The Justice Department is poised to sue Apple as soon as Thursday, accusing the world’s second most valuable tech company of violating antitrust laws by blocking rivals from accessing hardware and software features of its iPhone.
The suit, which is expected to be filed in federal court, according to people familiar with the matter, escalates the Biden administration’s antitrust fights against most of the biggest U.S. technology giants. The Justice Department is already suing Alphabet’s Google for monopolization, while the Federal Trade Commission is pursuing antitrust cases against Meta Platforms and Amazon.com.
