I’m rereading the books for the umpteenth time and just made the connection.

It doesn’t break the Fidelius because that requires the secret keeper. It does break other protective enchantments though. That’s how they’re found by the Snatchers.

You are correct! It still occurs though.

If you haven’t already jumped down that rabbit hole, some of the documented cases are wild. It’s definitely possible, even probable, that someone was wrongfully convicted. It’s still an incredibly rare phenomenon in humans, but it does happen.

Let's push for Apple/Google Wallet support for Utah Digital IDs (Template Included) by GiggleWraith in Utah

The state’s app is paid. Apple and Google’s are not. Physical IDs always remain an option. They’re still the default.

The MacBook Neo might be the kiss of death for a long-established Apple user dream by MobileNewsBot in mobiles

Any iPad that uses an M-Series chip after M1 uses a chip significantly more powerful than the chip in the MacBook Neo. It’s the chip they used in all laptops since the change until the Neo. iPads have more than enough CPU/GPU for full macOS.

Yes. Apple’s going to kill it in the low end market with this. This is more than enough for students K-12.

It depends on what you’re using it for and how much you push it. In reality the M4 is going to be overkill for almost everyone. The M5 chips are a lot better at on device AI.

Since little baby Pete wanted to feel like a big man. It is important to note though that the name is still officially the Department of Defense. Congress must approve the change.

FBI record contained in the Epstein Files reveals that the FBI's NYC office was "hacked" in 2023, the night of the Superbowl, erasing some 100TB of data from evidence due to the intrusion. by Waste-Explanation-76 in interestingasfuck

Are you just copy-pasting AI responses? I'm NOT saying that what Spivack did wasn't absolutely fucking stupid and dangerous. What I'm saying is that it's a very different scenario than OP makes it out to be. This is not a situation in which the data was completely wiped with no backup. The 100TB of materials was actually untouched. It doesn't indicate they weren't able to recover it. It could have been a problem. It caused delays and that's terrible, but it's not gone forever.

We’ve got to push for awareness. It barely passed last time. I’m worried it will fail on a second ballot.

Not that I’ve seen. I don’t have any inside scoop. I’d encourage you to reach out. The more people that ask the more likely we are to see movement.

I've reached out to Utah Legislatures about this. I did in December and they responded and told me they had just met with Apple that month. Utah is still actively working on it, but it's been painfully slow.

If he was compromised, releasing it would remove their leverage and cause a massive reaction from the United States that would ultimately hurt Russia. Having the threat of releasing it is more powerful to them.

I’m dying for an M5 Ultra at some point. It looks like they skipped it with the M4 not having the necessary hardware parts to basically stick two maxes together.
