  • It doesn’t fly in the face of the first at all. That’s how the law ends up working (or not working) for people. If you can hire a team of educated lawyers, they can postpone, argue merits of, wording of, conditions of, etc – written law.

    If you can’t hire that same team of lawyers, you just get told “that’s how it is” and you don’t get the same protections.

    Like Trump saying he never vowed to “uphold” the constitution. That teeny tiny argument ended up costing like 2 weeks worth of court…

    It’s these little things, that lawyers then argue in appeals court – to justify overturning a previous ruling. Things like the previous judge misapplying a ruling, etc. These “small” injustices are done every day to normal people who can’t afford a team of lawyers to scrutinize every single little thing that a judge does.

    In some cases, if a lower court gets it wrong – then the decision gets overturned. However…if the lower court is slow, methodical, and steps very carefully - appeals will look at the person filing the appeal and laugh. But every single I has to be dotted. Every T has to be crossed. Everything has to be performed perfectly. It reduces the amount of scrutiny that the lawyers can use to their advantage.



  • The delays in the justice department are because they’ve never prosecuted a previously sitting president to this degree before. If they make a misstep, he wins on appeal. This is being taken very slowly, very deliberately as to not pervert the course of justice. Unfortunately for us, the very rich and very influential can essentially delay this almost indefinitely.

    Trump will die before he ever ends up in prison. Honestly, I think that’s the best we can hope for.




  • Just sounds like people don’t know how to use the services available to them. Even if I don’t specifically go to maps to search, searching “wedding photographer” immediately puts a maps result at the top of the list with 3 photographers in my area.

    I remember Lycos, Altavista, Looksmart, AskJeeves, Yahoo, etc – You are putting some awfully rose tinted glasses on saying that those had anywhere close to the results that Google was putting out at the time; or even now for that matter.

    Even now, the competition is garbage with 1 exception – OpenAI’s GPT3.5 and GPT4. If they can get the hallucinations under control, it’s incredibly good at distilling information you are looking for. Unfortunately, it is also TERRIBLE for any kind of up-to-date information.

    Every time someone says “Google couldn’t find this thing”, I say – “what were you searching for exactly” - and I put it in, and I get perfect results. I have no idea what people are doing, or maybe if Google is geo-blocking certain things, but I have not once had anyone show me empirically that their results are any worse today than before.

    Additionally - nobody should be using Google for search without an Adblocker.













  • Sometimes unlocking the bootloader is a irreversible process. I had to get lucky and someone leaked the factory DFU-mode software for my particular phone, and that was the only way to re-lock it. Others tried to re-lock their bootloaders and ended up with a complete and unrecoverable brick. If those commands aren’t working for you, it’s possible you’re just on a newer version that disallows relocking. I don’t know why the downvotes, because you’re at least looking to educate yourself; but you may have to consider that you cannot relock the bootloader as a possibility.
