If you phone a local prison then you'll phone an out of state one less, therefore it's an interstate commerce clause issue and subject to federal regulation. (it was even funnier when they used essentially the same reasoning to regulate drugs).
There is no reason to think his replacement would be better. The US Government has a long history of overthrowing other countries governments, and it never turns out better. Ex. Iran led to islamic extremists ruling Iran, Iraq led to ISIS.
The job of an Intelligence Agency is to gather the data, process it to gain intelligence, and present it to those who need to know. When you gather too much you bury the agencies so they can't process it to generate useful intelligence. America is spending too much effort on spying (data) and not enough on intelligence gathering. You have all the pieces but can't do anything with it.
Politicians are much smarter than they let on. They make a deal to let a big corporation take advantage of the voters, then tell the voters the corp was sneaky and underhanded. Only when the voters start revolting do they push the corps back into line.
If the OS maker also supplies the emulation they can have all their code native, including apps. Emulation is at best half speed, and ARM chips are not exactly top of the line to start with, so things are going to be slow. Current desktop systems are much faster than is required by most software, so the slowdown is unlikely to be noticed for most programs. You'll still want your games running on Intel or AMD though. Most SW shops will release dual ported (both processors) software just like apple did when they switched cpu, with all programs eventually switched over to ARM only. End result: Intel will license ARM and continue dominating the market, Microsoft will lose their Intel lock-in and shrink badly.
So you can't take a laptop into the passenger cabin because of "bomb risk", but it's ok to put that same laptop in the cargo hold where an explosion could still take down the aircraft? Or is there some other risk here, like the NSA/CIA needs time alone with your laptop unobserved?
In my opinion a non functional American federal government is preferred. Their "Work" mostly looks (to me) to be passing bad laws or making the federal debt larger.
This is a perfect example of why the patent system should mandate fair and reasonable licensing and royalties for all patents. The patent owner still gets paid and they can't bury technology by refusing to license it.
The software is providing expert opinion against you, it's not a camera submitting facts but an intelligent system giving opinion (probabilities). You should clearly be able to question this expert and get full justification of its testimony. A mathematical proof of its accuracy would also be justified. The lie detector is not allowed in court because sometimes it doesn't work, why should this device be allowed unproven?
A better plan would be to have a hidden disk partition that only mounts if you use a specific finger followed immediately by another specific finger. The phone still works either way, but the company secrets are protected.
1-So if I can get the cartridge out without breaking the seal I'm not under contract?
2-For a contract to be made, both sides must get something. I already have the right to use the cartridge in my printer so what are they offering?
Recycling (bluebox) programs, cleaning up litter, sorting landfills for recycling, building parks, any job that isn't economically worth doing but has other benefits.
A national make-work program, paying minimum wage and offering basic medical, is the answer. Nobody starves and nobody loses medical coverage. You only need welfare/UBI for people who can't work.
The senior management of a company set their own wages and benefits, usually with little to no oversight by the shareholders. I look forward to senior management being automated, so this massive diversion of assets will end.
1-Evil Hacker hacks into Facebook network.
2-Use to launch attack against Microsoft.
3-Microsoft detects attack, traces to Facebook, launches counter attack and searches for their data.
4-Facebook detects intrusion, traces to Microsoft, launches counter attack and searches for their data.
5-Evil Hacker finishes downloading data, sits back and eats popcorn while Cyber WW3 erupts.
Space debris is a solvable problem: it mostly sticks to predictable orbits where you can navigate around it, and we have several ideas for de-orbiting the junk. Using a laser from the ground to ablate it (on the side facing its direction of travel) would impart de-orbiting acceleration and cause it to drop into the atmosphere.
I can see military bases or the Whitehouse, but pipeline protests (where police shoot down drones) seems to not be about public safety. Evil thrives in the dark, if the Government wants secrecy they need to justify it.

So someone needs to make a pre-configured computer with a phone handset and a plug for your internet. Something like a voip phone.
We have no reason to think voting computers aren't getting hacked. We know they aren't secure so it's possible, and they clearly have motive.

America: governed by the rich, for the rich.

It's 100% secure against YOU. The Government (that probably paid for it to be installed) had the keys from the start.
Fires go out when the oxygen runs out. It's an enclosed space packed with luggage and low/no airflow, the oxygen supply is very limited.

Searching the phone takes time and effort and skill. Plugging in a box is easy.

The right to make aftermarket car parts is legally recognized, resulting in cheap car parts. We need this for other industries (like printers).
If the records show illegal paying practices then the cost of that report is much higher than the cost of just the report.
