Well, regarding the phone thing, modern phones don’t have removable batteries, but it’s very unlikely that the cops have a way to access the camera and microphone even when the phone is on. Cops have a notoriously difficult time just unlocking a phone that’s in their possession. The FBI/CIA etc might be another story. Who knows what active exploits they’re using.

But if your phone is powered off, it won’t be sending or receiving any data, both of which require power and create EM signals that can be detected. Unless your phone advertises some sort of remote wake feature, once it’s off, it’s off. It is doing nothing but tracking the time (RTC is always on in all modern tech with any sort of battery).

Cops can, however, triangulate your location to within a block or two using your phone’s cell tower pings. Those happen as long as your phone isn’t in Airplane mode. It takes a while (like, an hour or two), and the phone company has to do it for them, but that’s often how they find missing people.

Edit: recent iPhones DO have a sort of remote on function, btw. It’s not cellular, but some propriety thing based on MagSafe, so it requires a machine to be within a few inches of the phone. Basically it uses the same circuitry as the wireless charging does.

It was tongue in cheek, man. Call down.

I can’t say there’s no possibility, but the probability is incredibly low. The domain was registered on the day he was arrested, likely after he was arrested, because the first Wayback snapshot is at 2:47 PM EST and the page is blank. Meaning, a web server had been set up to respond to requests, but no content had been added, so it just responded with an empty body. The first snapshot with content was taken two hours later at 4:28 PM EST.

The rat that ratted him out called 911 shortly after 9 AM, which means he was in custody during this time.

The story had just started to spread by the early afternoon, so whoever registered the domain could have done so after learning his name from the news. (Utah Dispatch posted the story at 12:39 PM.)

As a decades experienced web engineer, I’d like to know, what is an encrypted .WHOIS server? In all of my time, I’ve never seen those words put together in that order.

I think what you’re trying to say is that the WHOIS data associated with the domain is from a privacy service, not an actual person. You can pretty clearly see in that data that the domain was registered on Dec 9th of this year, and that part can’t be faked (at least, it can only be faked by the registrar, and I don’t think NameCheap Inc is in on it). So unless he set this domain up right before they arrested him, no, this is not his domain.

The IP address in the A record for that domain belongs to Amazon Inc, and is located in San Jose, CA. That pretty much shows that it’s running on an AWS machine. So yeah, literally anyone with some basic web knowledge could have set that up in a few minutes.

As even further evidence that it wasn’t him, the Wayback Machine only shows snapshots of that domain since Dec 9, 2024, the day the domain was registered. And the page changes between the night of the ninth, and the morning of the tenth, while he was in custody.

Is it any surprise that a pig is also a scab?

Ok, burn it all down. The whole planet. Maybe next time it’ll be better.

So that definitely means his administration will not continue military support, because that man is the biggest liar in history.

Technically?

No.

Excuse me, it’s Muphry’s Theory. It hasn’t been proven enough to be a scientific law.

Do yourself a favor and download MusicBrainz Picard.

Everything Musk says is a lie, just like his boyfriend, Trump.

Miraculous Ladybug. Such a dumb show, but I like it. It’s definitely a villain of the week show with a magic fix everything button.

Bad ones, sure. Wait, no, even bad ones sell. They’re just wrong.

He would be second in line to the presidency. That’s a scary thought, but honestly, could he be worse than Trump or Vance?

Edit: never mind, he’s not qualified to be president.

Welcome back.

It’s not just crystals. Even amorphous solids, like glass, can be extremely kiki.

RAID with parity is technically a backup, just a mostly ineffective one. It’s a backup that allows you to recover from exactly one scenario, single (or double) device hardware failure.

But I definitely understand the mantra “RAID is not a backup”. It’s not what most people think of when they say “backup”.

I guess you can’t see if your eyes are closed.

Believe the mass graves and filled ERs.
