Parrots will dance to music and sing it, they'll even do their own little remixes of songs. It's probably learned but it seems to be something they have the capacity for and understanding of.

Depending on the chipset you can usually set rtc wakeup timers, though that typically implies sleep rather than power off so you'd still have some power draw when the device should be off. Similarly, if you're trying to log GPS you'll have to wake up for enough time to get a GPS lock so even at something like a 10 minute logging interval you'd get some noticable power consumption. Much much more if you're trying to log voice or video.
Also DCS world with the Ka-50 and all the AMRAAM drama, yet another Russian dev team doing Russian dev team things
Did you read the article? There were a couple cases were very early Android phones were modified to appear to be off but stayed on. This is fairly common knowledge, but it's not particularly hard to defeat.
Everything your phone does requires a deterministic amount of power. Spying on people in particular requires even more power than normal because you need to run the power hungry gps in addition to the modem and cpu.
If you turn off the device it should be significantly cooler to the touch, not a degree above ambient. If it's at 100% charge but a power bank with a read out is showing it still charging, that's a problem. Is the bootloader image different? You can verify that to some extent. When you turn it back on has it been drawing down the battery anyway? Does it require an unlock password instead of biometrics as it normally would (assuming a particularly sloppy setup)?
This isn't rocket surgery, in reality nobody is modding everyone's phone to stay on forever because unless you're an absolute troglodyte (aka the fucking old school mafia bosses they did this to) it's going to be painfully obvious your phone is acting weird.
At least that one has an off button
Doors and corners kid
I rented shit at home depot and had to use fucking clear. They've broken containment.
In his circles apparently HGH is viewed, erroneously, as a life extension drug. It wouldn't surprise me for an instant if he was mainlining it out of a fear of dying like a common peasant.
Law is a human construct, it is essentially a consensus structure. You can hold up a piece of paper that says "I can do what I want" and maybe it's even legitimate, but you still need to convince other people of that and our legal structure/precedent puts more emphasis on process than being efficient or fast.
In effect, the law has stopped trump from doing just about everything he wants to sans a few items. Every time he tries to do something he has to fight a bunch of people and that takes up some of his finite time and resources.
Just because he has friends in all the high places doesn't mean everyone else will just jump into line and do exactly what he wants, the more people obstruct the less damage he can do.
I mean, he's done a good enough job and I'd take him over literally anyone trump wants to appoint.
I'd argue he is. Politics and law aren't deterministic, the rules are flexible and determined by how people interpret them. If it was actually a non issue he wouldn't bother saying anything. He's posturing and trying to make a case so that the admin is less likely to start that fight. Everyone has limited time and resources so making it seem like fucking with the Fed would take a lot of both lowers the odds they try.
The DCS Ka-50 isn't a real aircraft, it was a development platform that was abandoned by the Russians and only a few were made, all in different configurations. The devs made it then made a paid upgrade package that slapped a bunch of random stuff like missile sensors and air to air missiles onto it. They did this while staunchly maintaining that all the western aircraft had to be perfect to the rivet, including removing weapons systems and features from aircraft that verifiably had them but not within the absurdly narrow window of the one they wanted to model.
