i think with fingerprinting, it provides evidence that someone touched something, not that someone did not touch it

everything should be behind a firewall

I rip ass, threaten fart, get out of my body.

I used to use kindles when I was growing up, as my dad and grandpa had large amazon libraries I was able to read from. It started with the keyboard kindles up to one of the touch e-ink ones and with the exception of the last one, every one of them had the screen fail.

I have since switched to a kobo clara 2e BW, using books loaded from calibre. the price point was comfortable, with more features than I expected (waterproof, bluetooth and wifi, ability to sign directly into library accounts), I was also happy with battery life, I read on planes/trains to pass the time and had a two week long trip where I was doing a lot of traveling by train and I didn’t need to charge at all.

I plug into my computer and load books manually I also have been looking towards doing something OTA for books and page sync, libre and self hosted.

This is possible, and exact directions will vary on distribution of the vm client. I personally do this but with split horizon dns and dnsmasq on a vm.

impossible to leak is where it gets tricky, and that will require an understanding of networking in your distribution. there will also be tutorials on this, but it’s very easy to mess up.

I would say the warranty is probably confidence that a percentage will last that long, and the amount they have to replace is cheaper than the business they lose not offering it.

the idea with qubes is that whatever you are doing with tails would just be done in a tails/tor qube (vm), which are/can be amnesic.

i think the issue is not necessarily that voters who are disappointed by biden on this issue would vote for trump directly, or even think he would make a different or “better” choice but instead may not turn out, or vote for a 3rd party candidate. with the race as close as it is now, that might be all it takes.

weird way to write the headline for a “re-trial” kinda has a sort of inflammatory aftertaste, paired with the lack of effort, like not even changing the default banner image…

in order for the vehicle to have plates, it must have the state minimum liability insurance. your auto plan probably explicitly excludes rentals unless you pay extra or have some premium coverage.

at face value it seems better than nothing, but in reality if the data can be bought then it doesn’t really help in the end. what would be more effective (imo) in protecting privacy would be to prevent the collection of data in the first place.

hardwire for testing? then when settled do the full install. maybe use a different laptop.

i think they are referencing map apps vs gps as a technology
