TSA precheck was originally for avoiding removing shoes, belts, and laptops. I had it at some point and gave up because random lines kept making me remove stuff anyway, but only telling me that after my bag was already taken aside for searc

Was Reza Shah any better? He was overthrown by WW2 Allies, mainly UK and USSR. Anyway I wouldn't put it past the US to have messed up Iran during the coup against the PM, but in that case it's the Israeli control I was complaining

Yeah, I've thought about this since I do prefer JS as a language... Always thought the main advantage of Python was interaction with C libs. Which is also why CPython was the only serious option for an interpreter, even though things l

These articles keep coming up, and the author never actually tries agentic coding in Rust vs Python. You will probably find that the LLM does better with Python for kinda similar reasons as humans. It's succinct and can be rerun quickl

I'm fine with Pax Americana, even if you call it American imperialism, but this whole involvement with Israel and its problems is not in our interest. It's abundantly clear that we have traitors in our government working for anoth

The cheapo ones probably won't have it. Any brand name will have its own app that will have a rename feature like half the time. Not particularly expensive brands either.

I mean something like taking control of the plane or else they blow it up

That's basically how it is in the US, except that sometimes there aren't enough machines so the lines are long, and it's the spinning scan thing rather than a metal detector. Usually no line in major California airports when

Ah so the wording suggests that it's a thought/speech crime, not that the particular event is outlawed. Yeah that's still nuts.

Isn't the whole point of this thing the hardware? Cause it runs free software, but you can't find many pocket PCs. But yeah the specs don't matter so much.

Not sure. Those lockfiles don't seem really human-readable. I wouldn't approve a change that randomly changes the lockfile without explanation, but I would also want the project file to set the requirements rather than relying on

Nowadays I don't need to remove shoes in the US. I vaguely remember times it was randomly required or not, not sure when, and back when it was always required. I'm not TSA precheck or anything. But yeah we have the liquid limit, w

I mean for a flight that doesn't go to/from the US.

Honestly I didn't think about that. Maybe they didn't either. Good example of why seeing something vaguely threatening and out of the ordinary is a reason to turn around, even if you don't know why exactly they'd do it.

I agree. Sure you can still get weapons through screening, in fact I've accidentally done it twice with like 4" pocket knives, but not sure what the odds are. A lot of the "security theater" argument seems to be annoyanc

Does that actually get you arrested, or do you have to go to a Palestinian Action protest? Not that there's that big of a difference.

I wouldn't want to see slogans like this on an airplane of all places. I agree with the slogan. There are plenty of other times/places to say it. Unfortunately freedom is already out the window the moment you go through TSA securi

Was wondering the same thing. Maybe there's some regulation about this, but the flight crew wanted to bend the rule to keep the plane going, figuring it was just a poorly named device.

iPhone BT settings also let you rename devices, but I think that's just a local setting, not like the BT spec has a rename feature. Not sure cause uh, my iPhone broke. But for sure there are speakers that have their own apps that let y

Rename is a fairly common feature on Bluetooth speakers and headphones, for example my Bose NC-700.

The article mentions that terrorists have used fake bomb threats to achieve some other goal, which makes sense

It's not normal for things like this to sell out. Most businesses want to be able to fulfill the sale when the customer is already on their site ready to pay, not make them look elsewhere. Either they're having inventory problems,

Was curious about the price hike. 512GB OLED model was $549 and is now $789.
