Trapped In America

Because they don’t need one. They just send a polite email asking for everything on Person X and they get an email back with EVERYTHING that person’s ever done on any of Google’s services.

Problem solved. No Backdoor or Warrant needed.

You’re thinking of FreeDUMB, where you’re allowed to believe whatever you want. But Trump has to approve the position first (as stated) and it has to be the opposite of whatever the data/proof clearly shows. It’s like the Wish.com version of Freedom_TM, but that’s geared more toward Teaparty Gun Nuts and Libertarian Potheads.

Edit: Huge caveat I forgot about. Joe Rogan also has the ability to dictate FreeDUMB positions. So long as the guest making the claim (1) has no degrees and (2) they’re being suppressed by The Establishment. Also, Jamie has to be able to Google some random website that agrees with them in under 25 seconds.

Take a look, it’s in a book…

Oh it’s abused alright. They’re called pretextual stops and they’re basically used to skirt your rights of unreasonable search and seizure.

Despite the fact that SOCTUS has ruled that traffic stops are NOT grounds for further criminal investigations.

They also say they pulled him over for not wearing his seat-belt, but I don’t see how they could have possibly known that until they had already pulled him over.

This has been a thing forever here. It’s common(-ish) knowledge to leave your seatbealt on until the cop approaches you. Otherwise they’re allowed to assume that you also weren’t wearing it before the stop and write you a ticket. It’s dumb.

Which sucks for guys, since we usually carry our wallets in our back pocket. So our first instinct is to take off the belt, take out our wallet and have everything ready for the cop when they walk up. Which is a $100 mistake you only make once (hopefully).

This whole thing is a shit show. From the cops lying on the report about him reaching for a knife, which the cellphone video shows clearly didn’t happen, to the State Attorney writing it off and the Sheriff going full DARVO during the press conference.

Sheriff’s Full Press Conference and Bodycam Footage

Notes:

1. The sheriff was in church when the story broke, so it inconvenienced him during his Good Boy time.
2. The victim should have filed a complaint so the Sheriff’s Office could do things The Right Way (aka. get ahead of the story).
3. The unannounced public release of the cellphone video was intended to hurt the Sheriff’s Office reputation (no shit). Implying they’re the real victims here.

Can confirm, I have 2 separate family members spewing this idiocy during visits. First it was that hurricane that shit on Georgia, Tennessee, etc. so “They” could shutdown a lithium mine or something (the people in the area want the mine, so that doesn’t even make sense). It also lead to them to falling for all weather modification conspiracies on Facebook and YouTube. So now it’s the floods out west… because “The Dems” want to make Texas look bad or something? I don’t even know anymore.

Also, dry ice. They seem to think dry ice allows you to steer storms and will show me very obvious fake videos where people are dumping it into the water themselves, then recording and pretending they caught The Man doing it. All of the ice blocks are still square btw, like it was just dumped into the water. They still fall for it.

I’m aware of the Penrose diagram and also watch PBS SpaceTime :)

But I was referring more to the frame of reference of our universe vs that of being inside a blackhole (assuming you could magically avoid being ripped apart by gravity). To an observer inside a blackhole, “time” on the outside would blink by almost instantly. I wasn’t talking about moving through an infinite universe or near/into a black hole. Just stationary, floating just beyond the event horizon, looking out. Hence the asterisk on basically*.

I was leading them to what MotoAsh posted. But they beat me to it while I was typing.

Edit: He even references what I’m talking about at 0:44 in the SpaceTime video. But from the frame of reference of an outside observer.

Yes, but if you’re beyond the event horizon of a black hole time becomes basically* irrelevant. You could literally turn around, look back out towards the rest of he universe, and watch all of time play out in the blink of an eye.

You know that scene in Interstellar where they land on the planet for 5 minutes, but 20 years passes for everyone else due to the planet’s mass? It’s the same thing, but a billion-billion-billion times more severe.

It’s encryption has been broken for some time now, which leaves it vulnerable to some pretty serious security issues. On top of the obvious issue of people with the right know-how just listening to your calls and reading your texts, which you probably don’t want.

(It’s also how most cops/feds tap phones these days.)

Oh, in that case, I assume they have you running Pro or Enterprise? If so, ignore what I said about disabling the Remote Desktop and Work Folder stuff. Work Folders especially though, they’re a complete pain (or were) and used pretty frequently. So you’ll probably be working with them a bit.

Anyone else wanna move to the hills and watch this dumpster fire of a country from a distance? I’ll bring the marshmallows…

Bonus: If you use the new TSForge method, it’s a permanent hardware registration. Meaning you’ll never have to activate Windows again, just connect to the internet and it’ll do it’s thing when it calls home.

It also has ESU support for Windows 10, so you can register for the extended security updates after it reaches EOL completely free.

Just a tip: If you installed Pro or better you can use Group Policies (gpedit.msc) to strip the OS bloat down slightly more than the Home versions. Education and Enterprise also have the telemetry spyware completely removed. But they have a few extra things you’ll probably never use and you’ll want to disable (like their terrible Remote Desktop stuff, Work Folders, etc.)

(I dual boot for gaming. So I know the pain.)

It could be worse. He could have DESTROYED them. So they should count their blessings.

They do look like Really Sweet Ramps™ though. You could probably clear 25-30 garbage cans if you used Jimmy’s Diamondback.

I’ve actually seen medical offices setup similarly. Some random computer in a back office with all of their patient data on it, completely exposed to the internet, protected by nothing but a few Windows Firewall rules limiting the connections to a few IP blocks. Just so they can share information office-to-office for say… a root canal and dental crown to be done on the same day, but at 2 separate locations due to limited space.

I’d run out of fingers if I were to count the number of times I’ve seen similar setups, 3-4 toes would be needed at least.

Fun Fact: I once worked with a team that were mapping Iran’s internet infrastructure… for reasons. One of the ways we were able to zero in on the more important systems was because we kept finding these weird Cisco routers that had Telnet exposed to the open internet. All of which just so happened to share neighboring IPs (or close enough) with some pretty serious government systems. Fun times.

I’m not a CISCO tech, so I don’t know the specifics beyond that. But I do remember that the Telnet connection would permanently ban any IP that failed even a single password attempt. So they had that going for them, I guess lol
