A threat of war, sure. But you don’t declare war like that clip of “declaring” bankruptcy. Even with all the wars the US has started, the last one declared was in 1942. Until Congress formally declares war, or troops start to move in, it’s still just a threat.
That said, it is a threat that everyone should take very seriously.
Rated range, meaning 100%-0% in near-ideal conditions, drops significantly in the winter. Battery conditioning and a cold start can drop it by 35% if it’s using resistive heat (as opposed to a heat pump), plus reserve capacity on both sides (you don’t usually want to go below 20% or above 80%, to maintain battery health).
I recommend people take the listed rating and cut it in half for real world use in bad conditions. For instance, if you need to travel somewhere that’s 75 miles away (150 round trip) in the middle of winter without charging, then you need a battery rated for 300 miles. You can obviously get by with less if charging along the way is viable, and these are just estimates. If your route is 80 mph, it will suck down a lot more juice than the same distance at 55.
Imagine being the historian researching these for dates…
Bragged about their crimes to specialized cops who had already identified themselves as such, with evidence on hand, and still only $1,000 each.
That means that violating all of these laws really just costs $1,000, and only if you get caught.
In the meantime, you can turn off a lot of Google’s tracking, or at least their record keeping. Make sure you’ve disabled all of the tracking you can.
I won’t speak to how the UK does things, but in the US this would make for an easier criminal charge.
It can be difficult to prove that someone stole (or is about to steal) a car, or broke in to steal the contents. This is especially true if they weren’t apprehended in or with the vehicle itself. But if they are arrested on suspicion, and one of these devices is found on them, they can very easily be prosecuted for possession of criminal tools. It’s similar to how we normies can’t legally own a lockpicking kit unless we’re locksmiths.
Not removed - never added to the US designs. They were added afterwards to models being sold in places that require them.
He absolutely does not have the authority, nor is there anyone at the federal level to do so.
But it doesn’t mean he won’t try anyway, or that anyone would stop him.
(The rare occasions of a state possibly splitting have come from within the state itself)
Something I found very eye-opening was the Wikipedia editing guidelines/style guide. Specifically, they had (have?) section on weasel words.
Once you see these types of manipulations laid out, you start to see them everywhere.
Do you have any idea how many cups/mugs/plates/pans say this? Most of my dishes are not “dishwasher safe”. Only a couple have had any issues with it.
Similarly, look at how many of your clothes are incredibly delicate according to the tag. It’s erring on the side of extreme caution, and to provide a defense if it’s a piece of shit that falls apart.
“elections” are a cornerstone of autocracies. There will definitely be an election event.
Whether your vote is even counted is another question entirely. Same for whether you will be allowed to cast a ballot.

In order to do business in Mexico, they must agree to Mexican laws.
In order to do business in Canada, they must follow Canadian laws.
In order to do business in the US, they must follow US laws kiss the ring.
This isn’t the first time big tech has had to tackle something like this. Usually it’s with disputed territory. In that case, each region gets to see what it demands to see, while presenting something different to the rest of the world.
In all seriousness, language and word choice are a very big part of propaganda and influence. It’s not an accident that we are discussing “death tax” instead of “inheritance tax”, or that you see reports of “looters” vs “survivors/scavengers”.

You mean rename it after another famous place, but misspell/mispronounce it?
What did those poor cables do to you to get the Liam Neeson treatment?
But can it spy on users for marketing purposes? That’s the real question.

Counter point: Lemmy has always been more toxic.
I’ve never seen a group (as a whole) that’s less capable of accepting that there are things they don’t know, or other viewpoints.
As everything collapses here, it reminds me just how awful the conditions really are for so many people back home. They would rather stay in (or even come to) this cesspool, even with these high profile risks.
How exact does it need to be? There are plenty of ways to collect and organize the data. There are plenty of low-income schools. If you only gave out free condoms at the ones that were 90% black (but given to all students there), would that count?
