But not when they are connected back to the mother ships.
Stand alone, fire walled, etc. NO communication back to anyone one. No logs, except those kept locally.
Unfortunately, I believe these all still rely heavily on the Hardware and Databases back at the mother ships.
Unless these devices can stand on their own or there is some iron clad Federal regulation on privacy of data (with jail time for violators), not happening in my home.
If the 5G carries are slowly being purchased by Chinese companies, which are without doubt creatures of the Chinese Government, then it could be said that the Chinese were the ones actually nationalizing the 5G networks in America.
Could you build a plant, and operate it here following the same environmental and safety regulations used in China?
The answer is obviously no. Why? Because those working conditions and environmental practices would be condemned as immoral and an affront to the environment.
So, why then do people seem to think it suddenly becomes moral and OK to have those conditions in a place 3,000 miles away? If it's Not OK here, then it's not OK there. Or, visa versa. If it's good enough for the Chinese, then it's good enough for Jersey.
People may think it's good to have cheap solar cells, but unless you can make them cheap in a way that squares with the rhetoric of the labor and environmental movements, then cheap solar cells are not viable.
Interestingly, saying that they should make these in those conditions in a foreign land seems to actually be racists.
There was a Sheriff's deputy killed under similar circumstances in Texas.
Normally, Texas will light you up for killing a cop. But this guy was acquitted because he reasonably believed it was a House Invasion.
If you REALLY think the house is filled with bad guys with guns, I would think the last thing you do is go barging in. Set up the parameter, then give that phone a call and simply inform that they need to come out or die.
These people have a fundamental misunderstanding of what being a leader is.
The qualities of a Leader don't require that you be wicked smart. And being wicked smart doesn't mean you will be a good leader.
You have to be smart enough to find, employee, and evaluate the results from wicked smart people. But you don't have to be smart enough to perform the tasks wicked smart people perform.
Was Roosevelt a good leader? 98% or people would say resoundingly, YES!
Could Roosevelt have planned and executed the D-Day landings? Not a chance. He had wicked smart military leaders do that. And each on of those leaders had their own wicked smart people to rely on.
President Carter was pretty damned smart, but a poor leader. President Reagan wasn't smart in the academic sense. But he had lots of common sense and led the nation through some pretty tough times and accomplished quite a bit.
News for ya...most electronics manufactures are using overseas manufacturing. I bet the computer you are using to post here was at least in part built by some 12 year old working for 50 cents a day.
Do you expect Apple to put itself at an economic disadvantage compared to other companies?
They were able to do that due to tax laws duly voted into existence by Congress. Or, by the unintended consequences of tax laws duly voted into existence by Congress.
Means, they did nothing illegal. As most companies who did similar things did nothing illegal.
The new Tax laws lesson the incentive to keep cash overseas. Add to that the Bully Pulpit effect and you have cash coming home and being taxed, albeit at a lower rate than if it were raised here. But to you want 30% of nothing or 10% of something?
The Courts do not set public policy nor do they create Legislation.
These AG's should know that. In fact, they do. But AG is a political position so this is nothing more than Grandstanding.
Of course the overall quality of the courts have dropped precipitously recently. A primary example is Judge Alsup, ruling on DACA after having just been slapped down twice by the Supremes.
In a 5-4 ruling issued Dec. 8, the justices temporarily lifted Alsup’s order, though the majority did not reveal its reasons for doing so. The order was fairly remarkable, as the Supreme Court does not generally involve itself in discovery disputes. The ruling provoked a short dissent from Justice Stephen Breyer, joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan.
In a second ruling issued two weeks later on Dec. 22, the high court ordered Alsup to reconsider two government arguments about the court’s power to review DACA’s termination before making a final determination on the shielded federal documents. The second ruling appears to be a compromise among the justices, as there were no noted dissents.

Talking to Apple, logging queries, etc., is not the same as querying the web.
If I could ask a question or have some task performed and there be no record what-so-ever at the "mother ship", then I'd go for it.

SCO v IBM is Oak Island for lawyers.
Many Toll Roads are built with the rationale that of you pay the toll, then you can travel faster than the rest of the schmucks.
A prime example of Austin, TX with a toll road with prices that vari with the traffic. Presumably, it's worth more to go faster.
Of course the reality is they fucked it up and people end up spending$5 to go a few miles just as slow as everyone else.
So if paying more at BK, or your ISP is bad, then certainly paying more fore essentially nothing is far worse.
Ya know...Fuck you.
I asked a simple question.
Apparently you don't know the answer.
that's-so-kash knew it, but even he couldn't avoid throwing in some dumbass snark.
Thanks for the link.
You can shove the snark up your ass.
"The value of the science done there..."
I have to say I haven't read anything recently that suggest they are doing any Science that is going to affect the greater society recently.
I am seriously interested in reading about what science they are doing that's worth all that money.
That said, I am ambivalent about the funding cut.
Just wait. People will turn it off, and then be right back to bitching when the phone suddenly dumps because the battery is dead.
About 80% of the stuff on Netflix, Prime, etc are grade B knockoffs of block buster movies or just crap no one would find interesting.
When he description starts out with, "not to be confused with the blockbuster..." you know they are simply trying to pull a bait and switch.
"Oh Look!, they are showing Independence Day of Earth! I loved that movie."
Renting software that is integral to the function of your company is like paying protecting money to the Mob.
Nice little accounting system you have there. It'd be a shame if something happened to it.
Just ask yourself a Question.

I suspect they'll have adequate material for the movie, The Island of Doctor Chen long before then.
If it means not accidentally taking a life they can chill for an hour or two.
WTF is your problem?
You can't have the State killing people and then just saying, Whoops! My Bad, here's some cash".

Really, I don't give a fuck what they were looking for.
Even $300k isn't worth potentially killing someone in a raid like that. What did they think they were going to do, flush them all down the toilet?
Property Crimes, even at $300k, are not worth someone potentially being killed, which happens not that infrequently during these kinds of raids.
Gentrification: Moving into a Shit Hole and making it less of a Shit Hole.
Salaries, probably overtime, equipment, and very likely a payout at least for damage to property if not a settlement fee.
All for a fucking $1.2k phone.
Find the perps that took them vs finding what at most is unwitting buyers (if they buy them off the streets) is what's important.

I heard they have some new containers for Solar. They hold a ton, but you need sunglasses to work with them.
