The legislature sets laws. The senate approves laws. The judiciary interprets laws.
If the legislature doesn’t like how a law is interpreted, they can change the wording to be less ambiguous, but it would still need to be approved by the senate. This new law would supersede any precedents.
The executive is there to keep the system functioning, not to create any laws itself.
The Boring Company is propping up the price with the sales of NotAFlameThrowers to DOGE.
As evil as Graham Lineham is, I do need to post the parody of these forwarders that was in The IT Crowd.
Fun fact; osteo-archeologist and palaeontologist students used to be given thylacine skulls to identify as a hazing ritual. They would usually be misidentified as Canine (fox or domestic dog).
They do have different teeth to Foxes and they are smaller than Wolves but the similarity with Domestic Dogs and Dingos are uncanny!
Convergent evolution at its finest!
I do have to admit that their normal cars (that are built in China) are actually very well built.
The problems with the Cybertruck are;

Most modern monocoque vehicles are held together with 2-part adhesive which (when correctly applied) is stronger than welds.
The reason is that most vehicles are composite of different metals and alloys, fire to different components requiring different properties, and if they are directly connected, the different metals would result in galvanic corrosion.
The problem is when the surfaces aren’t suitably prepared prior to the adhesive being applied, or the adhesive is not correctly applied which may happen during manufacturing because the workers are laughing so hard that anyone would purchase one of these hideous monstrosities.
It’s not the competitive pricing that is the issue, it the forced upgrade cycle and invasive user policies.
(Except for system admin costs and Mail/File Hosting) a Linux-based solution is literally Free. I would assume that Mail and File hosting for Governmental Entities should be hosted in-house anyway.
I as lucky enough to use Apollo. As soon as it stopped working, Reddit became useless to me.
(Or not useful enough to use their horrendous website, old.reddit website or official app)
TIL. I will do it the correct way from now on.
The best solution is DuckDuckGo. You can use DDG as your primary search engine and when it (or Bing, which is its backend) fails to find what you want, you can add “g!” to your search to look it up in Google.
What DDG needs to do is modify the G! switch to include “&udm=14”.
Back in the old days, we had mini-USB-B , USB-A, USB-3.0 A, USB-B, USB-3.0-B, micro-USB3.0, and a dozen other semi-proprietary mini-USB-B form factors.
Before that we had all the D-Sub variants like DB-25 and DE-9 for both Serial and Parallel data transfer, DB13W3 and DE-15 for Video signal and dozens of other variants for all sorts of proprietary data formats
I was referring to the EU laws that are making USB-C charging mandatory.
The solution is a legislated minimum standard or quality.
I’m surprised that the original legislation did not provide this guarantee.
The problem is that there is no certification of new good cables. There is no guarantee that the replacement cable may be just as defective as the one you are recycling.
One good thing about the MFA program was the proprietary chip guaranteed a minimum standard of quality. Unfortunately it also resulted in a minimum cost.
#NotTheOnion Microsoft will make millions of computers obsolete and will generate thousands of tonnes of eWaste on International eWaste Day.
“Windows 10 security updates end on 14 October 2025, KDE’s 29th birthday and also, ironically, International E-Waste Day [1] (you cannot make these things up!)”
Have you seen “Civil War” yet?
This headline should be “most computer users see little or no value in LLM and other technologies that are being branded as “AI” and never will”
That is the thing. They will bite if the feel scared, so it you are competent, relaxed and crazy enough, you may be able to handle one like this. They also have a little beak.
The Venn diagram of venomous and dangerous is not a plain circle.
Polls are not Votes. Polls are not subject to the same scrutiny as Votes. Even in regions that have a traditional bias towards one party of the other, there can still (theoretically) be significant statistical differences.
For instance, what if the Mormon women also decided to vote along gender lines; they may informally poll Republican in front of their peers, but may vote Democrat in the privacy of the voting booth.
What if a landslide number of people who have never voted before all vote against the status quo. If they had never voted before, they wouldn’t have been included in any polling.
Whether this is a realistic scenario or not is irrelevant to whether it can be called until at least half the possible votes have been counted in favour of one candidate or the other.
The currently executive in the US is either completely incompetent or maliciously trying to destroy the US.
