Whelp, looks like the whole private healthcare business is just too much for corporations to deal with properly. Maybe the government should step in and take care of it from now on?

Is it only pain you receive, not positive emotions?

It doesn’t help in that I’m an empath(I receive the pain of others)

Like a super power / supernatural kind of thing, or you mean that figuratively?

OP - what’s your deal? You can’t just copy the original title?

A contractor poured concrete that [leveled] up with the seating area, making it impossible to use.

I wouldn’t say impossible, but I sure do like a challenge.

Exactly - of course it will.

If you’re putting a person that has expressed content for vaccines, one of mankind’s greatest discoveries, in a position of authority over the management of vaccines, you will have a surge in all that vaccines helped to eradicate.

It’s absolutely bonkers that there are folks that have completely fallen for the “vaccines are bad“ narrative. Who would’ve thought, right? “We got abortion, immigrants, trans kids,… What else can we throw into the mix? Vaccines is a funny word…“

I had a Republican client tell me the other day that the Democrats want to allow abortion at eight months. That’s what she believes. I have really great relationships with my clients, and they’re generally really nice people. It really infuriates me and makes me sad.

Nah, just missing an a ,

FTFY

Is that last dude missing an arm?

I’m only seeing one upvote and one downvote lol

I think people are having a hard time deciding whether to celebrate your comment or not

OMG, this was the first thing that came to my head too and you beat me by 2 minutes

I don’t think I’ve ever really considered any of EFF’s articles “pointless” per se. But the article is a bit more nuanced than just setting in a pin (I mean the first sentence introduces the intent of the article: “Encrypting the data on your iPhone isn’t as simple as creating a password“), and I thought it would be interesting for anybody who didn’t know.

There’s also some notes about legal standings, which I thought was interesting:

In the U.S., using a biometric-like your face scan or fingerprint-to unlock your phone may also compromise legal protections for the contents of your phone afforded to you under the Fifth Amendment privilege against compelled incrimination. Under current U.S. law-which is still in flux-using a memorized passcode generally provides a stronger legal footing to push back against a court order of compelled device unlocking/decryption. While EFF continues to fight to strengthen our legal protections against compelling people to decrypt their devices, there is currently less protection against compelled face and fingerprint unlocking than there is against compelled password disclosure.

But ultimately I thought that it would be good for folks to know about the Advanced Data Protection feature, which takes your security beyond the scope of just your local phone’s PIN or password.

With Advanced Data Protection enabled, your backups and most important files get the end-to-end encryption benefit, better securing your files against mass surveillance, rogue Apple employees, or potential data leaks.

This protects your data in the cloud and makes it inaccessible to anyone including Apple, who wouldn’t be able to help you if you lost your recovery backups. You can also setup Recovery Contacts if you lose access to your device.

There’s some other interesting features this article does not go over like Stolen Device Protection, which changes the behavior of how your iPhone allows access to the device based on its location.

You sound like an experienced pro power user, so you may find this article pointless worthless.

I’m not seeing the issue here

It’s not that bad

I have a 485 adapter in my bag for BACnet and Modbus communications.

The UN doesn’t have an embargo in place for Israel.

Let me get this straight.

Russia can tell the UN to fuck off and continue to trade arms with embargoed countries, but also retain Veto powers?

Didn’t the Senate Republicans say something to the effect that Roe v. Wade would never be overturned?
