I'd say actually the only reason they backed down is because they realized they were going to lose and didn't want to risk their arbitration clause getting struck down in a court.

She knew whether an offense had been committed.

That doesn't prove it to anyone else, of course, but it doesn't seem like anyone is (now?) contesting the the offense in question was committed. Just that he got off free and she had no recourse. This is not a one time event, either, it's a pattern where the law fails to protect people in this situation and then throws the book at them if they take matters into their own hands. If she had not, do you think this dude would still be free? Or would the law have eventually caught up to him, after who knows how many more victims?

That's the bottom line, yeah.

Maybe the police should do their job for a change.

Someone above mentioned screen reader support for blind use accessibility stuff. For users who are blind, this is critical.

See the start of this post talking about device tree models vs boot time hardware discovery.

There's no reason an arm chip/device couldn't support hardware discovery, but by and large they don't for a variety of reasons that can mostly be boiled down to "they don't want to". There's nothing about RISC-V that makes it intrinsically more suited to "PC style" hardware detection but the fact that it's open hardware (instead of Apple and Qualcomm's extremely locked down proprietary nonsense) means it'll probably happen a lot sooner.

There's also the fact that Arm doesn't really work with arbitrary PC style hardware. Unless this got fixed (and there have been some pushes) you have to pretty much hard code the device configuration so you can't just (for example) pull a failed graphics card and swap a new one and expect the computer to boot. This isn't a problem for phone (or to an extent: laptop) makers because they're happy to hard code that info. For a desktop, though, there's a different expectation.

RiscV does support this, i believe, so in that sense it fits the PC model better.

Optery does alright, i think.

I don't think Shapiro would lock PA. I think it's pretty likely she could pick him and lose the state or not pick him and win.

Coming back to this late but yeah, the security failed hard here. A bunch of bystanders got pics of this dude on the roof and tried to warn officials about him but there wasn't any response. Big failure. I still stand by my statement :)

Yes, and that's a mark against Signal.

His time has come!
