    "We hope to go to the US Supreme Court to say that if there's safety involved" there is nothing wrong with waiving people's 1st and 4th amendment rights.

    Change that "might" to "probably" and the Judge will deny your warrant, and withholding that information from the judge puts you in the iffy part of the law.

    Well considering all raids have warrants, and the raid happens regardless of whether they find evidence of a crime, then yes raid is the correct term.

  4. Maybe it's because Americans don't know what it is like to truly live under a tyrannical rule as we really don't, and while or government does like to test (and break) the limits the Constitution places on them, it does not oppress the people com[pared to what true tyrants and dictators have done in the past. Do you really think your life would get better if you overthrew the US Government?

  5. if you use a non TSA approved lock then the TSA will just cut your lock and not bother with any of the "getting you off the plane to unlock it crap". On the other hand they will leave you a pamphlet in your luggage letting you know your stuff has been rifled through and something is probably missing.

  6. "I doubt you have spent as much time as I have defending civil rights of people such as yourself, "
    Your posting as an AC and you expect us to believe you do anything of the sort. Get a fucking life. And I really doubt you have done more then many of us here. Plus the fact you are defending giving the government backdoor access to the modern day equivalent of our "papers and effects" shows just how much you really care about our constitutionally protected rights.

    "As for why people keep going back, I would suggest that apathy plays less of a part in the matter more than the inconvenience of doing without whatever product or service that the company has offered."

    exactly, and as to why people keep going with the cloud option has more to do with the lack of any other option. If you are using the cloud without any real reason to then you are using the cloud to sell your customers info as an added income source, which should be a big fucking warning sign.

    So we should ignore that when Nest purchased Revolv they promised continued support? And now you are suggesting that replacing soldered on ic's is reverse engineering protocols?

    Get a Dell Precision, HP Elitebook, MSI WS60, ThinkPad P70. There are numerous machines out there that meet your requirements. What your not going to get is thin and light when you need horsepower. But quit complaining that they also make models for people who have different requirements.

    No the SSD is not usually soldered, In fact it is replaceable on the Macbook Air, the XPS 13, the Razer Stealth, the previous Spectre 13. In fact I cannot name a single laptop that has a soldered in ssd.

  18. It bars local governments from passing anti-discrimination laws, strips North Carolina workers of the ability to sue under a state anti-discrimination law. The language does not repeal North Carolina’s job-bias law, which continues to ban discrimination on the basis of race, sex, age, religion, or disability. But it forces workers seeking redress for discrimination into the federal system, where access is more difficult, the rules are much more complicated, and businesses often have significant advantages. Time, in particular, is on employers’ side: Under federal law, fired workers have just 180 days to file a claim, versus three years in state court.

    If you thought this was about bathrooms then you never really looked at the issue at all.

    I am certain when they were purchased people were sold features beyond "turning on and waiting for data". They were sold a device that controls their lights or thermostat they have every right to expect it to continue, especially when the purchasing company publicly states it will:

    For existing customers, the service will continue to be available and we will continue to offer customer support. However, Revolv will not be made available to new customers.
