From the original ruling it sounded like having the even just the sensor in the watch would be infringing. It sounds like these are new watch they are importing, but the article doesn’t make it clear if that is the case.

Sounds like the restraining order should have listed out additional remedies, or maybe even made her the sole owner.

Depends on specific machine setup and how good the backup is.

Backup requirements for /usr there are sticky bits set on some binaries. That needs to be preserved. In all cases soft links likely need to be preserved for things to work correctly on future package installs. Hard links can be problematic, but if you have a large enough drive or not that many it wont matter. Running package verification can be help after restore to make sure everything looks right. If running a Linux system with SELinux in enforcing mode (RHEL on many derivatives), then the security context will also need to be preserved BUT running a relabel will probably work if the security context was not included in backups. Sometimes running the relabel process wont work if there are files that needs a specific security context but are not listed in the security context database. Can’t provide more details because most of my experience with that is on systems we just replace (LSPP custom labeling resulted in systems that if you booted into permissive would then be unbootable, so they were just reinstalled once any debugging was done).

For /boot things can get tricky depending on the distribution, what boot manager is used, and /boot was a separate partition or not. Basically the boot manager (probably grub) needs to know how to find the files in boot so it can load the kernel. In most cases if you restore /boot and rerun the tools to update the boot manger everything will be fine. BUT some distributions, hardware setups, or dual boot configurations are more complicated, so extra work might be needed.

You didn’t mention /dev, which is all special files. These don’t need to be restored, just make sure the right processes recreate them. There are tools to do this, hopefully the packages are installed. Or boot from a rescue disk and fix it. Look up instruction for your specific distro.

More of it will display the LOG_EMERG message instead of just stopping without displaying anything.

There are some headless servers I’d prefer to just reboot, but unless actual hardware is faulty I would not be too worried about it.

It is like a bunch of the self-driving companies are trying to kill the tech by making the public turn against them.

This is a response to the very bad kids online safety act. See EFF’s post for details on why it is bad: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/03/kids-online-safety-act-heavy-handed-plan-force-platforms-spy-young-people

EFF’s article is better, but here are some of the details of why it is bad. The effect of kids online safety act will be censorship and tracking of kids online when research suggests that is counterproductive for the age group being added. Would require more detailed tracking of everyone, not just kids. Services likely would need to block certain content from everyone to reduce liability to a reasonable level. They would potentially be liable if kids got access to content even when it wasn’t for kids no matter how the kids got access (lying, using someone else’s account, bypassing filters, etc.). Content to be blocked is vague and open to be interpretation by the most conservative people in the US, which is obviously problematic. The previous COPPA needs updating, but the version of kids online safety act has so far been financially flawed.

Yes it will. Just like doing the exact same thing for power and phone lines to every single place in the entire US ran prices up. Difference is we paid for it and enforced companies do to it. For internet access we just paid for it and then never made them provide the internet access to everyone everywhere.

And the country should fix this just like during electrification and running phone lines to everywhere.

In the US we paid for internet to be run everywhere (like we did for electricity and phone lines), then the phone companies just didn’t do it. Neither congress nor FTC followed through with any consequences for companies not doing this. So here we are in the US.

Over a long enough term it will be worth it.

But as a said elsewhere neither electricity nor phone being run to rural US homes was cost effective for companies. So the US decided that was shit and paid for it to get done. Started to do the same for internet access. Phone companies refused, used the money for other purposes, inflated prices faster the inflation, etc. and yet neither FTC nor congress held them accountable. Other countries have done the same thing for power and phone, there is nothing fundamentally different about physical internet access stopping anyone from doing the same thing.

Neither was running phone lines or electricity in the rural US, but we did it anyway because it was better for the country.

with an aspect ratio of 20:1 across the entire dash.

We’re talking about Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory doing the simulation here. That is not a small research facility.

Seems to be exactly the opposite of what you describe. Actual experiment shows promise, then large lab runs simulation.

LBNL did not replicate, they simulated the material and found it promising. The lattice of the materials need some sort of substitution to happen in an less likely way, someone with knowledge will have to summarize better.

Or just not being careful with storage. Like I don’t know, keeping only one copy in one location with early films were made highly flammable materials.

Not everyone is going to understand they need another drive. It just stinks.

It likely will encourage more people to sail the high seas.

This is problematic. Australia and New Zealand are in Region 4, I suspect this is killing all of region 4 (Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands, Central America, Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean). This means they cannot watch at the highest quality, none of the streaming services are as good as a local blu-ray or local Plex/Jellyfin/Emby. Also problematic for preservation, especially given services removing content so it is no longer available at all.

If I could buy unencumbered digital files for my local server, I wouldn’t have that much problem with discontinuing physical releases. Instead best case I can get it a digital “copy” that is tied to a specific service (movies anywhere, google play, apple, etc.). Which content has also been removed from, even though you bought it. I’ve been buying DRM free music for around a decade and things have been fine. I would have to think really hard of the last time I bought a CD, as I’ve been buying flac encoded audio exclusively for a few years now (bandcamp.com, us.7digital.com, prostudiomasters.com, hdtracks.com). I’d really like to do the same for movies and series, including extras.

This helps other vaccines, like maybe one against lone star tick AGS (causes allergy to red meat)

Lyme disease can be terrible. Any lessening of human suffering is worthwhile, and poor outcomes are not just fatalities. You can get treatment and still be sick with fatigue, pain, and difficulty thinking for more than 6 months. Not referring to controversial chronic Lyme disease, just CDC’s own statement. https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/postlds/index.html#:~:text=Although most cases of Lyme,months after they finish treatment.

TL;DR: New statistical model suggests that the AMOC (including gulf stream) could collapse to the much slower pattern by 2025 to 2095. This is a century earlier than previous predictions and the researchers were concerned. There is some questions on the accuracy of the model used, and that needs more research.

Personally I don’t think we should wait for further testing to vet the model before acting. Try to do better now.

This sounds like an old X11 thin client would infringe this patent, which came out in the 80’s. Chromecast and cloud gaming derive from that, being more of a refinement than an invention.

It is destructive to the environment.

The real question is if it is worth the damage to the environment for the lithium? That lithium will make it possible to make more batteries for less money, which then less fossil fuels and more renewables can be used over the entire life of the battery. Further if we start recycling lithium batteries completely, then it is the improvement across the lives of all the batteries made from that lithium minus any damage to the environment caused be recycle each generation of batteries.

For Maine they probably will not see enough of an improvements directly. For the US we might see enough improvements elsewhere to make it worthwhile. For the world we probably would be a net gain of environmental improvement.

The longer the timeframe the lithium can be used to lessen climate change impacts (batteries for cars and renewables) the more likely even Maine would see a net positive versus the damage of mining the lithium to begin with. But that is very hard to quantify and even harder to predict the future (new battery tech might displace current lithium batteries).
