If you follow the link to the Culver City Police Department linked in the original techcrunch article, there's one mention of the California Penal Code, so I presume they're talking about Culver City, CA, a suburd of Los Angeles.

... to name it "Rocket Raccoon" and get sued by The Mouse !

Corporations pissed that some countries don't allow them to treat human beings like cattle, or worse, "human resources".

When there were only a few thousands of us living in caves, losing a few fingers or toes every winter, starving to death before dying of old age, that was also life.

Good thing there were some in those days that weren't angry, bitter, defeated losers like you who decided to do something to try to improve the human condition.

Isn't that the country where the most powerfull army in the world got their asses handed to them for more than twenty years before running home with their tail between their legs, and before that the second most powerfull army in the world got the same treatement for more than ten years ?

Yeah, I know. -1 Flamebait.

...where we're at so far:

- Direct attacks on the scientific, intellectual and artistic communities;
- Direct threats on the sovereinty of allied nations;
- Direct governement threats on freedom of the press;
- Random unlawfull arrests of people off the streets;
- No due process;
- Unlawfull deportations of certain ethnic groups blamed for all the whoes of the nation;
- Children forcefully separated from their parents and imprisonned;
- Concentration camps;
- Army marching on the streets of the capital and other major cities.

This all sounds vaguely familiar... Where have I seen that before ?

...to actually watch the video in question, and not just rely on the sensational headline or the click-baity thumbnail of the video, you would know that, overall, it's actually a testament to the incredible toughness and resilency of the iPhone 17 Pro. In fact, the fragility of the coating along the sharp edges of the camera bump seems to be its only weakness. Go ahead, it's only 10 minutes long.

But who am I kidding.

Or if the fix itself is flawed (CrowdStrike anyone ?) then the roll out screws everyone. Probably with catastrophic results.

Technology will not fix all the world's problems. I thought that kind of mindset died with Gene Rodenberry. Technology will never fix anything because it is created by humans, or AI, which is itself created by humans. It's unfixable humans all the way down.

A chain is never stronger than its weakest link, and you cannot take the human link out of the chain. There will always be incompetent, careless, arrogant, greedy, corrupt, or downright evil humans involved in the chain. Always. At least as long as there are humans.

They do what is basically the core of capitalism: Trying to make as much money as possible with the work of other people.

When two people bring vehicules to the same place, I call that an accident.

What model of mac do you have ? I doubt any mac models with firewire ports are supported by tahoe.

Those who lived through war are not the ones most likely to repeat it.

I remember reading about an interview in an old newspaper with one of the last, if not the last, surviving soldier of the American civil war. When asked "What are you the most afraid of ?", his answer was: "That when all of us are gone, it will happen all over again."

You replied to a troll bot.

No it doesn't. In fact, it's the exact opposite.

Constant acceleration only requires constant thrust, so the exact same amount of fuel consumed per time interval. That is true is the ship's total mass remains constant.

But in fact, the ship's mass will not remain constant. It will decrease with time, because of the fuel consumed. Therefore, to maintain constant acceleration, the ship will need to produce a decreasing amount of thrust with time, because of the decrease in mass, thus requiring less and less fuel with time, not more.

Do you really think people care about felony convictions anymore ?

Convicted felons get elected president of the United States, for crying out loud.
