Attention span is a problem nowadays

A penis almost as big as his President’s.

The real lesson here is Lemmy/Reddit is no substitution for a lawyer. ACLU spells it out but in the end there are a lot of circumstances that apply.

Ultimately, if you’re a US Citizen, and that’s not in question, they can only take your stuff, they can’t arrest you.

Ars interviewed an attorney about this…

“For a US citizen, CBP essentially has to let them back into the country,” Nathan Freed Wessler, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union, told Ars. “They can’t be detained indefinitely for refusing to provide a password. They may be detained for hours and they may seize the phone for weeks or months while [CBP tries] to break into it.”

So, take it however you will.

For what it’s worth I’ve done a bit over 1.6 million air miles on Delta for work and have the silly keychain tag to prove it, and the only time customs has ever given me shit was at YYZ, the Canadians are no joke if you come in on a US passport, and you’d better have proof you’re not coming there for 3 days to do a job that a Canadian could do. In my case I was training some Canadians but People Ops were kind enough not to get me the paperwork I needed.

Most big companies have training for their international travelers as well, the ones I’ve worked with always say to surrender passwords and equipment, and contact SecOps to let them know as soon as you safely can, some even have nice systems that print out invitation letters and proof of ownership for equipment including serial numbers.

Edit: CBP is NOT a court order to provide a password. If a court orders it and you refuse, well that’s contempt, and the list of people who’ve sat in prison refusing is no joke.

If you’re a US citizen they’ll just seize it and send it in for forensics.

While they can make your life miserable, and revoke any entry programs you’re a member of, they can’t prevent a citizen from crossing the border. Only the stuff you carry.

Things which oxidized.

Seriously I hate articles like this.

Yeah I’m remodeling and literally refuse to buy anything that doesn’t have physical controls in the kitchen.

Fuck touch controls on everything.

Don’t disagree, problem is they get 81 years of video uploaded per day.

At 30,000 hours of video per hour, I’ll let you do the math about how many living wage employees would be needed to be trained and dedicated to watching those videos to manually review them.

I promise that even with Google money, they couldn’t pay them all.

Exponential scaling works that way. It sucks, but automation is the only way to pull it off.

Wait, are you trying to say that Risk/Reward is an actual thing?

/s (kinda)

EVGA was always decent I thought…

Monthly. That’s a premium subscription option.

SaaS has a downside you say?

Shocked I tell you! Shocked!

Click bait headlines? Never!

There are repos on GitHub that pull the videos and metadata, not sure about posting to Peerhub, though if that’s possible to post via an api you could probably script it easily enough. Likely a risk of other “issues” doing so, but I’m sure some datahoarders could chime in.

Hate to break it to ya

Totally agree, and still chuckle at the fact that it’s an AI summary of a video about how artists are leaving a platform due to AI.

🤌

He’s the one who ordered all the zoom employees to RTO right? Are we supposed to expect him to let people go to the beach?

Came here to say this. Companies send refurbished devices out, they usually make it really clear that you should wipe your device and not expect to get data back exactly because once they receive the device and verify its condition within reason, they send a replacement. Nintendo, Apple, Pixel, Samsung have all done it to me.

Pixel is doing this because they can’t send someone else a phone with a non-oem part. If they do in the US they take liability if it’s a cheap Alibaba knockoff that does something stupid like make the battery explode. As screwed up as the US laws are, it’s difficult to fault them for CYA.

Bottom line is, if the phone has a non-oem part they can’t vouch for it, so they need to put your phone in the queue to get fixed is how it reads to me.

At the launch a lot of the features like sleep tracking were paywalled behind Fitbit, and you had to use Fitbit instead of Google Fit which I had been using.

After a week of using the Fitbit app I just found it annoying and pushed the social media aspect far too much for my liking. It felt more like a Fitbit than an Android Watch and that’s not what I was looking for.

Prior to trying the Pixel I had an LG Watch Sport that I really enjoyed.

The Garmin while it lacks the ability to do things like control smart lights or integrate heavily into phone controls like the Pixel Watch did, its battery life is amazing, the sensors are great, it gets the alerts I need from the phone, and I’ve actually become very very fond of the gimmicky flashlight that’s built in.

I can easily export health and data to CSVs, and move it if I want to.

The full offline map capabilities are also big if I go backpacking.

A Pixel, minor gripes with it. I’m considering a Samsung for my next one though, last non-pixel or Nexus phone I’ve used was a Samsung Note 2 over a decade ago.

It still burns me that a McKinsey shrill runs it now.
