Funny how the party of patriotism and constitutional originalism keeps getting caught breaching the constitution.

It was an incomplete article that did not properly explain what the supposed legitimate issue is.

Ah, the Earthling approach: "let's worry about it later"

I always try to think of these things at their greater extreme left unchecked, in order to evaluate if it's worth caring about. How about when there are so many bags and abandoned transport equipment that it starts to become harder to land safely? What if we finally start to have a base on there, and the trash becomes unsightly and a nuisance?

I've read the article and still have no idea what supposed issue is going on in private backyards that the NYPD needs to see.

I hated how Twitter likes influenced the algorithm. A subject-specific account I had there had its feed all messed up when I liked anything not on topic for me. So I had to use them strategically, which was a pain.

Why Android 8? They were so close yet so far.

Maybe as a miniscule offset to the ungodly sums still being spent to prop up the fossil fuel industry.

Not even for prisoners, when you look at Texas inmates suffering and sometimes dying from unprecedented heat with no air conditioning.

From the arstechnica article:

Let's talk about that industry-leading 8–10 years of Android support, which doesn't necessarily mean 8–10 major OS updates. For now, Fairphone is promising "at least five operating system upgrades" because that is how long its weird Qualcomm chipset will officially be supported. Fairphone says Qualcomm will support that chip "until 2028" and after that, "Fairphone commits to extend support until 2031 and is aiming for 2033, giving users a total of eight to ten years of software support."

Normal Android OS update development has a chain of custody: Google makes an Android release, then the SoC vendor, in this case Qualcomm, takes that release and integrates its drivers and proprietary code, then the phone vendor, Fairphone, adds support for the rest of the hardware and ships it. Qualcomm, in an effort to boost its profits and force an artificial upgrade cycle on the market, opts out of this process after a few years, which usually forces these devices to become e-waste. Fairphone, through a herculean development effort, has been the only Android OEM to keep going even after Qualcomm drops support.

Look closer, there is a cap on the Android versions upgraded

I don't have business before the supreme court but I sure as hell have an interest in their rulings. We all do! That's such a BS defense they and others make.
