It gets more hate because it's owned by a Chinese company that more than likely shares data with the CCP. I assume you live in a western nation, so it's basically the result of propaganda. Perhaps it's warranted, perhaps not, but that's why.
It's ironic because everyone flips out that China is vacuuming up information, as if the US government isn't doing the same thing. If you think the US govt snoops that data only to keep you safe, I have a bridge to sell you.
This was for bootloader locking, not carrier locking. But yeah, they want you to buy their bullshit hotspot plan instead of just using the data you already pay for.

I don't understand how he lives with himself.
At this point, I'm convinced the Democrats are purposely throwing the election.

Well, perhaps the wording should be amended to encompass all public employees. But that would require the law be rewritten by the people that benefit from it, so, yeah.
Uh, huh? I take some trips here and there, don't work from home, but I've never had spiders make up a web between the tp and wall, and I live in the mountains where those dudes are everywhere.
I mean, you were given eyes for a reason. Also, how often do you go to the bathroom that warrants enough time for a spider to build a web??
So that means that I can engage in a a little tax evasion, as a treat, right?
On a serious note, from the article:
the law makes it a very serious crime, punishable by up to 15 years in prison, for a federal official to accept a bribe
Can we start actually enforcing this please?
On an unrelated note, I'm usually not disappointed with Popeyes. I don't eat it enough to have a basis for comparison, and my expectations are low enough for fast food that I'm usually pleasantly surprised.

Used existing pool panel on left, added contactor box on right. Left two contactors control pool and spa circ pumps and always on (no variable speed or hi/low legs on motor), coil controlled by emergency shutoff. Right contactor controls spa jet pump, activated by twist timer and same emergency shutoff. Spa jets are run through the right time clock to allow usage from 7am to 10pm. Left time clock is for lighting.

Our morning safety meeting definitely didn't involve us watching the apprentice look for the wire stretcher.

Electronic racking system; story goes that the previous guys didn't seem to like how it seated, so this was their 'solution.' Yes, those are 4x4s and a bottle jack.
