Laws are one thing, enforcement is another. I’ll do whatever I want, including line drying my laundry if I want to.

Washing does, too. I launder my clothing grouped by fabric density to avoid “pulling”. Works reasonably well.

Hikvision is cheap, as well as Dahua. Ubiquiti cameras are also cheap but terrible quality.

You must always think you can do anything, push yourself to do and be better. Don’t let negativity enter your mind, with this thinking everything is possible.

Wow, she is super sensationalized. Blowing everything out of proportion and advertising her case.

Nobody likes lawyers.

Why is this a problem?

She’s representing a client and putting up what she thinks is the most effective way to argue their case. Amazon will put up whatever they think their best defense is. A court will decide who is correct.

I personally found the repetitive "no household uses" to be a weak and sensational argument. There are any number of uses for something like this for someone who might have a hobby involving these chemicals.

Plus, it's not like there aren't many things _with_ household uses that can be used for suicide too.

Well, if part of your job is to incent the defendant to offer a settlement, then you're fighting a PR battle.

It's a regrettable system, but it's hard to blame the lawyer for having to work within it.

Genuine question, if Amazon is knowingly selling this product to minors and they are aware if its intended use, how is this being “blown out of proportion”?

Why chase ambulances when you can chase hearses...

This is one of those laws that you should want to break. I’d rather have energy independence than follow rules.

How is this even remotely related to the topic? You just want to hate Boeing?

I think because it's a similar story that illustrates the danger of removing redundant sensors, like tesla is doing here

As a hiring manager I’m encountering a tremendous amount of hiring fraud. One person interviews and another shows up.

I have seen most of this activity with an address out of the DC area and I suspect they do this systematically and collect 2-3 weeks pay until fired at multiple companies.

Companies with strict data protection policies can force the usage of VDE for sensitive tasks, as part of a broader DLP program.

Corollary: your company might force to use you a cloud VM desktop _even when your laptop is significantly more performant than the entire server holding these VMs_.

My work environment has a set of tasks that need to run exclusively in a tightly controlled cloud desktop environment. It's a nightmare.

A bad precedent in my opinion - look at qualcomm blobs on mobile devices. You have no choice and this undermines all mobile security in affected devices.

You already have no choice. While I agree that it's sending a sad message of defeat after such a long time, you either consciously buy "free hardware" anyways, so this doesn't affect you, or you're more of the pragmatic kind and would've installed the non-free blobs anyways after the Installer finished.

It's the qualcomm blobs which are bad here.
