Ah gotcha. I just remember that they used to do it for I think the original iteration of e911 and thought they kept it around for other purposes, but I didn’t realize the necessary equipment and financial details involved, so that’s fantastic news. Thank you!
GPS is kind of a tossup since your cellular provider can just as easily triangulate your position with their towers, and there is no escaping that outside of putting your phone in a faraday cage.
Iirc phone calls and alarms still work after a reboot in the lock status, it just disables biometric unlock and keeps the filesystem encrypted
I keep mine on in case of family emergencies, it’s also my alarm clock
Alright how about ethics laws. Make knowingly lying or blatant dishonesty a felony.
It seems like it’s already beginning. For one, Firefox is getting blocked more and more often as being “out of date” (it’s not) while a chromium-based browser is fine. My VPN keeps getting flagged as malicious (PIA). It’s getting really irritating.
Well yeah, when you have the power of the state on your side you can say or do whatever you want. If you’re a random citizen, get fucked pleb.
It’s almost like the wealthy have always wanted this route. Now that the cat’s out of the bag, they can take the masks off.
Good luck everyone, be kind as best you can and arm yourselves.
It’s better than that, they’ve let other countries have their go at it over the last century, and took detailed notes along the way. The benefit they have now is the widespread plethora and availability of networked technology that they absolutely will leverage in their quest for control.
In England? Lol
Lol no worries. I still browse over there every now and again, unless he handed off his account before he went but I kinda doubt it
He still posts here and there
“…The people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had 13. states independant 11. years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure. Our Convention has been too much impressed by the insurrection of Massachusets: and in the spur of the moment they are setting up a kite to keep the hen yard in order. I hope in god this article will be rectified before the new constitution is accepted.”
How so? I use the hell out of them, they’re much nicer than using a lock washer
I still wonder how the dude thought cornflakes made you not want to whack it, and how so many actually believed him (then again, [gestures broadly] maybe not).
And they’re pricks when you’re deep sea fishing
I’m guessing buttstuff ouch, but yeah, this makes me glad we only had t9 texting in highschool and phones weren’t online. Kids were horny then too, but that shit wasn’t broadcasted.
I want to say it was a clause of the FCC’s Fairness Doctrine, wherein newscasters were legally required to present information on events and political matters as unbiased as possible on publicly-issued airwaves. It lost a lot of its steam when cable became commonplace, as cable networks were technically closed-circuit systems, and then it went out the door with the internet. On top of which, stations like Fox News claiming to be entertainment and not news stations helped their cause. The original idea was that if the FCC was to grant you a broadcast license, you were obliged to operate in the interest of the public, and the doctrine expressly forbade operating for personal gain.
