From a different news story about this change, it doesn't apply to any phone activated before the government issued its approval earlier this month. So any phone which you activated in 2025 is not covered by this.

The kind of older tourist visiting a foreign religious site is definitely going to be relatively indoctrinated regardless of their origin country. But yes, many Americans are indoctrinated. They also tend to be dominant in wide swaths of US

Nothing that hard. When I had a technically similar need (for non-shady purposes unrelated to recruiting) I found easy installable free GUI software for Windows that worked just fine with a simple Google search. No specialist expertise need

I’ve definitely seen media reports using language similar to what I said outside of my parenthetical, which I don’t view as indefinite. I also don’t find “for now” to be clearly indefinite, but I agree it depends on which of multiple defini

From the changelog, it seems like this may have been due to issues caused by the on-by-default setting, although I don’t work for Tailscale and am speculating here with no inside info. I wonder, would Tailscale be willing to confirm that th

Tapping in different parts of the text box, or dragging the finger in the text box, allow a lot more precise control than what one can easily do by dragging the space bar in the iPhone keyboard, much closer to what you can do on a full comp

The penalties for unknowingly possessing or transmitting child porn are far too harsh, both in this case and in general (far beyond just Google's corporate policies). Again, to avoid misunderstandings, I said unknowingly - I'm

> Does only committing a "criminal misdemeanor" somehow exempt you from arrest? It does not - and that's exactly my point! Cops are allowed to arrest that criminal even though there's no immediate need to arrest them.

In a lot of places in the US, the lower of the shelf price and the scanner price is by law the most they can demand, at least for retail sales to consumers. Attempts to stop the customer from leaving after having paid the legally appropriat
