  • HDMI has an Ethernet channel builtin to it. This was designed along with the audio return channel and the remote channel to make it so you only need one cable between your smart devices.

    Its lovely really, other than the privacy concerns. USB-c takes it one step further and let’s you power devices over the data cable. So you might really only need one cable to link all your devices.

    I’ve been worried about the data over HDMI standard for a while, but I don’t think many devices implement it. At some point there probably should be a revision to the standards (if there isn’t one already) to require pairing permissions in the next version. Otherwise manufacturers will eventually start using this back channel to spy on customers, even when you don’t enable WiFi on the television.


  • Its funny, in a sad kind if way, how slow the courts are 99% of the time. But now that someone wants to invoke obscure laws that deport people without a trail, apparently the court is way too hasty to deny that privilege?

    Actually: Just fucking tell me why tren de aragua, a name I can’t spell and have never heard of, is such a threat that you can’t house their people in existing US prisons?

    You don’t deport criminals. We never have deported criminals. We jail them until they’re either sentenced and imprisoned, or an agreement is made to extradite them so they can be tried by their native country, or released with the understanding they can’t come back to America.

    This farcical bullshit should be called out and everyone in congress should be up their own ass trying to fix this problem. Trump is wrecking the economy and terrorising both citizens and non-citizens.


  • I think I know what the next entry in the playbook is. After a suitable amount of protests they will free Mr. García, but not allow him to come back to the United States. That still ruins his life because his family is in the US, so it’s right up their alley on cruetly.

    This will pacify a percentage of the protestors who will be tired and happy for a small win. It will “pacify” the courts, if they’re not already in on this play. The news will also step back because the see the story as concluded.

    We need to be demanding justice for all 200 deportees. I know they latched on to Mr. García because he’s innocent, but for all we know they are all innocent. We need to stay mad until they’ve all had a day in court.

    Honestly nothing short of an impeachment and conviction of this administration will restore my faith in this countries justice system.




  • We can sue Trump to stop him from doing stuff! This is a great idea. It should only take a few years before the courts resolve these issues and get things back on track!

    Its about time to figure out how to withhold funding from the government. Don’t let your tax dollars be used to pay for foreign prisons.

    Work stoppage is good, but things don’t matter to them while they still get 1/3rd of your paycheck every two weeks to fund their shit.

    I bet they did simple math and realized most actual taxpayers are getting refunds. If you don’t want to audit megacorps then laying off all of IRS staff doesn’t matter. The money will keep coming in and they can always slow pay the refunds if they like.





  • What can we do that harms millions of kids while trying to only harm a few kids? Take away their meals? Great, let’s do that.

    Should teach those kids a lesson. Next time don’t be born in America if you want a safe school experience.

    There should be a judge immediately putting a stop to this. Republican or Democrat. It should be political suicide to even threaten to take a kids lunch away. What the fuck is wrong with these people?







  • Loses? They let them go. Laid them off.

    A loss would be them quitting after finding new work, or moving out of the country.

    I’m not saying the hospital can afford to staff itself if Medicaid funding is cut, but call a spade a spade.

    Also, for-profit hospitals are part of the problem. Hospital is a service like the mail, not a profit center.

    If the hospitals were run with care in mind they would try to absorb the excess costs during this fuckup while continuing to provide care. Instead they’re cutting staff and thus not treating the Medicaid patients.
