Merely exercising state powers is not authoritarianism. There are other necessary aspects that must exist. If a popularly-elected government orders a curfew that is not necessarily authoritarianism.

The combination of the batteries in my phone and my laptop is clearly more capacious than the battery in the laptop alone.

Here's a don't: don't bring some BS document for the fired person to sign. They have no reason to do so and shouldn't feel pressured to execute something like a non-disparagement agreement, unless it comes with a big checks stapled to it.

Oh yes, I'd quite forgotten about the base model radio. Almost surprised it has no tape deck.

The backlit display on the Tesla 3 is wayyyyy too bright for night driving, even at its lowest backlight intensity and in night mode.

Thanks. I am familiar with why you want location data in photos. I am not familiar with any justification for why this data cannot be acquired from my mobile.

Why do I need my camera to have GPS? In what situation would I be equipped with a camera and not my phone, which certainly has a GPS? This seems like the same instinct that makes OEMs put mobile modems in laptops, as if I would ever have my laptop but not my phone to which to tether it.

Reading the blog post (haven't read the paper yet) makes it sound like this technique might apply to fuzzing. If this thing seeks out and exploits novel states in a large state space, that's the kind of direction you want in your fuzzer too.

You can change the location to which screenshots are saved as a standard macos feature. Just cmd+shift+5, click Options, click Other Location...

Yes. Consider, for example, any reason why Las Vegas should continue to exist.

Yeah but it’s a press release. What I’m telling you is if you walk to this site today, they’re still working on it and far from being done.

We already do. It costs a lot but we've been paying it for more than fifty years.
