been trying to lower my social presence on services as of late, may go inactive randomly as a result.

  • I feel like it’s mostly temperature. I expect that they want to continue using untreated water to be able to have cooler temperature. That way they’re not having to spend money and time cooling their coolant down.

    That’s my expectation anyway.

    Reading the datasheet that someone else posted earlier on, it seems like that’s the case while they’re going to be doing temperature control. They’re making sure that the temperature stays within the criteria that they currently are required to do. And as such, means that they’re not having too cool it as much.



  • If you look at the gulf from basically any other countries location (via vpn or otherwise) it’s still named as Gulf Of Mexico in most map software.

    As much as Trump doesn’t like the thought, this name change is not going to be permanent. Names need to be accepted universally, you can’t just take something and say “yea its called this now” while everyone else laughs at you and expect that it’s going to stay.

    for perspective, this is what it looks like on google maps (top) and apple maps(bottom) while vpn’d into Toronto. (excuse my poor copy/paste skills) Both clearly show that the gulf of Mexico is named the gulf of Mexico, and then add in parenthesis the new name that the US wanted to implement.

  • I agree, there is room for reasonable doubt, I do believe if they manage to throw the bag out of the evidence he will get his doubt. I just don’t see them throwing the bag out.

    I don’t think there is room for a non-guilty verdict though. At minimum he will have stalking conviction, at maximum he will get murder conviction. Outside of the jury nullification I don’t see a full innocent being done, but that will have to be done on both the state and federal cases.

    To go back to your actual question though: Due to the publicly available evidence, I believe the older folk will have issue with if he goes free. I don’t believe any fights will happen in regards to it, but it would be a clear abuse of process (in the eyes of the public). It would be like OJ Simpsons “If I did it” all over again.

    It’s a big reason why im firmly against the public getting involved with cases like this. It doesn’t matter what the jury says, the general public thinks he did it, due to the amount of news given on the case. His battle won’t end at the courts, he will have to fight that claim for the rest of his life and thats not fair to him if he is actually innocent.

    The only way I can see the general public being ok with an innocent verdict, is if they make it absolutely clear that the evidence given to the public was embellished and not actually correct. That would be an insane turn of events though. If it ends up being a case of the evidence was thrown out/not being able to be used, or a jury nullification did somehow happen, people are going to complain and call it a systematic failure, regardless of cause or reasoning. Innocent until proven guilty is only correct in the court process. With current day media coverage you are guilty until proven innocent.


  • All I have is the publicly available evidence, but that pretty strongly indicates guilt.

    he was found a state over, at a mcdonalds. With a fake ID that was the same name that was used to check into manhatten, and for transport. with a bag containing a loaded unmarked 3d printed handgun that matched the footage.

    He also had writings which are not public but have been stated to indicate his mindset prior to the murder, and a notebook that contained detailed travel plans and how to avoid capture.

    Like pacifist said though, the police are tripping this case up, the biggest defense for Luigi at the moment is the ineptitude of the police during the arrest sequence and investigation. They have already succeeded in throwing out medical records due to improper acquisition, have been found wiretapping attorney lines (which IMO should be an immediate opposing party wins regardless), and are in the process of trying to throw the bag out that was found at mcdonalds due to improper search and seizure claims (although I don’t personally think this will happen, it’s pretty clear the search and seizure laws in that state clarify that a search will happen on any arrest regardless of case)

    the only way I can see him getting a “innocent” verdict is Jury nullification, so I am not leaning on that, because even if found innocent on the second degree murder charges, based off publicly available evidence the prosecution still has a fairly strong case of stalking charges. Plus he still is facing the same charges at the state level as well, as the judges ruled it isn’t considered double jeopardy for someone to be trialed both federally and state side (which IMO is wrong but I digress)





  • Basically many domain providers will hold onto domains for a little while after it expires.

    Some like namecheap also advertise the domain names to peddle-man companies that will somehow buy temporary access to the domain after your extortion recall window expires.

    To continue the namecheap example, when your namecheap domain expires, it gives you a lapse window where you can pay like double the cost of the domain renewal to reclaim it. If you don’t reclaim it during that window they give it to a middleman whom will somehow buy a 2 or 3 months domain lease for it. They will put it on a “site for sale” broker page and will charge you easily 100x what you paid for the domain if you wanted it back.

    I would recommend just keep checking on it every few days to see if it gets released.




  • So I get what you’re going at, but I did want to add that secure boot doesn’t require Windows 11. And that the main issue with Battlefield 6 isn’t the fact that it has secure boot enabled because you can use Battlefield 6 on Linux with secure boot. The issue is it won’t pass the anti-cheat, which is Javolin if I remember correctly, breaks itself when in a Proton environment.

    Being said, I don’t think secure boot is the threat everyone thinks it is. Microsoft was originally not going to let alternative platforms be allowed on the secure boot environment. However, they started facing legal threats regarding it, including a potential ban in Australia and part of the EU stated they were looking into investigating it in regards to anti-trust, so they ended up caving to avoid having a judgment in court. I don’t foresee Microsoft going back to making it so they’re the only one allowed again,and if they do it’s almost certain they’ll be anti-trusted

    I can see the concern on a Google attestion style system, but I don’t ever foresee it getting that bad because people will just not use the system. The only reason it’s working somewhat well for Google is because it’s integrated into Android as a whole and practically forced upon developers if they want to use the existing integrity systems. Being said, I’ve only ever seen it in banking apps. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it on a website to website basis.


  • Before I go full tin foil hat on this theory, I want to know how they plan on making it so the signal is sent client side without the client being able to fake the signal.

    Like, this sounds like something that any type of OS that allows you to install a program will be able to bypass quite easily either by always sending the adult signal or never sending the adult signal

    Like reading the bill, they explicitly forbid any type of personally identifying information being transferred. It sounds like it’s just a DOB check and if you say you are > 13 or whatever age they have it as it sends a signal.

    I’m happy it isn’t allowed to send PII but like at the same time, I feel like just having websites put an age check prompt up does the same thing
