If presidential immunity is absolute..
  • Trump's lawyers would argue that Biden can order Trump's execution without any punishment, but that it would not cause him to win the next election because the military and other federal officials are not immune and are "obligated" not to follow illegal orders. So basically the argument is that illegal orders are unlikely to be followed.

    As Biden, I'm not going to risk publicly having Trump killed. I'm getting a hitman

  • Brave browser quietly slips a VPN service onto your Windows PC
  • So? There is no way for the vast majority of users to read or understand the source for something like Firefox - to the point it may as well be closed source. Agreed of course plenty of security researchers will be examining the code which they can't with Vivaldi - but presumably if that was a security advantage Firefox would have less vulnerabilities when compared to other browsers. (Actually would be interested to see if this is the case!)

  • Vercingetorix surrenders all the Lego blocks of Gaul to Caesar
  • "Well not entirely! One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders. And life is not easy for the Roman legionaries who garrison the fortified camps of Totorum, Aquarium, Laudanum and Compendium…"

  • What's the actual advantage of eSIM over a physical SIM?
  • Don't even need an app. I got an eSIM via a QR code (which went to a website where the eSIM was downloaded). This was on a Pixel 6. I guess the process may be different on other phones.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Is there any possibility that this lawsuit is an attempt to get a favourable (to the republican party) ruling (that Trump can stand) by presenting a poor case and therefore blocking a properly prepared and presented case on the basis that it has already been ruled on?

  • Changes to Pixel Pass: Beginning August 29, 2023, Pixel Pass is no longer offered for new Pixel purchases or renewal.
  • "an all-in-one subscription that bundled together your choice of Pixel phone, Preferred Care protection, Google One cloud storage, YouTube Premium, Google Play Pass, and (optionally) Fi Wireless service."

    Started at $55. Shame it never launched in the UK (or elsewhere)

  • Zelensky: Ukraine to receive 42 F-16 fighter jets
  • And is unlikely to be achieved by 42 f16s

    Hopefully this is the same as the Challenger tanks given by the UK. In itself it'll make little difference, but enabled other countries to supply their own tanks.

  • Gulf Coast carbon capture gets $1 billion boost from Biden administration
  • It's either:

    1. a distraction. In the UK similar projects were recently announced... at the same time as new licenses for new oil drilling in the North Sea.
    2. something that will get better and improve its performance as it's built and developed.

    I suspect it's no 1, but hope also no 2 will happen.
