Yes they do, but is it enough? Given a fixed per-gallon gas tax, if you assume a 3000lb, 2 axle vehicle that gets 30mpg is paying enough road tax to cover its usage, then an 80,000lb, 5 axle vehicle would need to consume 320 gallons per mi

I don't see how. Regardless of how you feel about the lawfulness of the overall situation, Tunick gave an agent false information which resulted in the phone being wiped. That's intent. This requires no action whatsoever from the

When I've gotten secondary screening the first thing they do is take all my belongings and rifle through them on a table. That seems to be standard practice and I'm sure it was step 1 in Tunick's ordeal. Both approaches have

Or keep it in a faraday bag and have the phone wipe if it sees it. If you're ever searched (or otherwise indisposed), they'll open the bag and wipe your phone for you.

Ah yeah, mine takes a while to connect to wifi too. I assumed that was just how it was, luckily I do it rarely. I got the BW over the Color only because I had read the color screen wasn't as sharp, though I've never compared them

What does the two-core CPU get you? I'm very satisfied with my BW with KOReader, haven't noticed any shortcomings but I only read books on it.

So because you use them to stealthily film your 2 year old, there's no way other people use them to stealthy film other people in less acceptable ways? This confirms it, you're being deliberately obtuse.

Good analogy. If there was a tool that could do everything a knife can do without being able to cut people, knives wouldn't be nearly as common and anyone who insisted on carrying one in public would be suspect. "I need it to cut

That's backwards, trucks are the cause of most road damage in the first place. Trucking companies should pay enormous fees to use the roads given the disproportionate amount of damage they do to them[1]. It should be cost prohibitive t

McDonalds was that and more first. They established the template that In-N-Out continues to follow, as anyone older than ~30 remembers. McDonalds chose to aggressively enshittify, In-N-Out did not. You're probably right that McDonalds

Data has ruined fast food (among many other businesses). When I was young it was common for a McDonalds to have 10+ employees working the lunch rush, one for every station and a few floaters cleaning the dining room. Someone took your order

A camera could be hacked with unrestricted physical access, but that doesn't make the suggestion unsound, it only requires there be a process for revoking trust in specific signing keys. This is already part of C2PA. And the value of

Experienced cubers will catch on very quickly, the really good ones would notice it on sight. There are laws about making casino games impossible to win, so a game that is transparently in violation wouldn't last long.
