That infringes MY right not to have some dumb fucking redneck packing heat around me.

You have no such right and you never did.

It had vaporware startup written all over it.

It can't be "vaporware" when they are actually releasing products for purchase.

This was the supreme court overruling Texas.

No, this was SCOTUS overruling the Federal Government. As far as I can tell his charges were Federal and he was never prosecuted by Texas itself.

They hate rown people smoking more than they live their guns, remember that.

You should remember to check the details and use spell check.

Then I mentioned the Uniphone S22

At least that one is flip phone so it's closer but it's still not running Linux, has a worse camera, no earphone jack, no FM radio, half the RAM, far less storage, worse CPU and so on.

Is all of that worth $350 $250? Depends on your use case I suppose but it's absolutely not the same product.

but this product already exists for around $150 just with a crappier OS.

Qin doesn't make a flip phone, they don't use Linux, a worse camera, a shitty DAC, no headphone jack, and they're all loaded with Google Apps / Spyware.

They aren't the same product at all.

XBOX hardware is fine. It's what they've done with it that's the problem.

You can get them for free can’t you?

Running Linux? Where...

You can only install apps they allow.

Untrue, the article clearly says that you can sideload anything you want.

A rare sight these days

I think almost 50% of decisions were unanimous in their last term.

Irrelevant. Ali Rabii's comment is public and available to read.

C'mon Vox...this article is straight garbage.

First you link to the wrong god damned instance of this case at SCOTUSBLOG (McKesson v Doe 2 instead of McKesson v Doe 3) you then don't link, or you know just post, Justice Sotomayor's remarks about why SCOTUS didn't hear this case for the third time.

Of course you probably chose not to link, or state, her full remarks because if you HAD then you wouldn't have been able to write that inflammatory headline.

SCOTUS already resolved this in 2023 with Counterman v. Colorado. It's right there on pages 14/15 in the linked PDF.

Modern Media is a raging dumpster fire of inflammatory bullshit.

Edit: In case it's not clear this Vox article was carefully crafted to leave the reader ignorant and outraged.

Could be that civilians don't want to be near them because they are scared. Russian soldiers returning from Ukraine are committing all sorts of violent crimes.

I mean would YOU want to be within 20' feet of someone who has a high likelihood of being drunk, suffering from PTSD, and a member of an especially violent and brutal military force?

This kind of crap is driving popular creators, like Geerling, to move to other places. YT / Alphabet has lost the plot.

The Title Company has to be sweating bullets right now. It's their whole job to prevent problems like this.

This particular School District has pulled this stunt so many times that the State of Texas passed a damn law, called the CROWN Act, to make them stop! They're back it claiming that the CROWN Act doesn't regulate length or color.

The CROWN Act sailed through the Texas Legislature with strong bi-partisan support and Gov Abbott even held a formal signing ceremony for it. How god damned racist do you have to be that even those people think you've gone too far?

Another great example is "Chunk" from the Goonies (1985). He was considered so fat that it was comic relief. Now you can walk through any Middle School in the United States and find dozens, if not hundreds, of kids that are MUCH larger!

It's all kinds of bots; Russian, Chinese, Liberal, Conservative, but most of all its Reddits own bots meant to inflate traffic stats ahead of the IPO.

I'd like the Steam Machine to come back with the addition of being an HTPC. Why? Because Valve is big enough to arm wrestle streaming services into releasing an official app.

I basically want a user customizable, privacy respecting Xbox.

The word "Gave" is really doing some heavy lifting in that title. Microsoft produced the keys in response to a warrant as required by law.

If you don't want a company, any company, to produce your data when given a warrant then you can't give the company that data. At all. Ever.

Not fast food joints, not Uber, not YouTube, not even the grocery store.
