Infosec, IoT, tech stuff
There appears to be considerable scepticism. :) I wouldn't be surprised if there was actually some vulnerability allowing this, even from a Bluetooth device, though, IoT being what it is...

Fishy and Ruby have been looking especially judgmental lately. I am simply asking you to support my Patreon so my cats don't think I'm a total failure. I think if I get a few more supporters they might finally begin to see me as only a partial failure.

Here is the appellate court's denial of Trump's claim of immunity:
https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cadc.40415/gov.uscourts.cadc.40415.1208593677.0.pdf
The decision opens by summarizing the allegations in the indictment, being careful to add that guilt hasn't yet been determined.
The court then dismisses the idea that they don't have jurisdiction over the issue and concludes that it does.
Then, on to immunity. The court rejects Trump's "separation of powers" argument, saying this:
That's strong language.

5/ Via Scott MacFarlane:
Court: “Former President Trump has become citizen Trump, with all of the defenses of any other criminal defendant. But any executive immunity that may have protected him while he served as President no longer protects him against this prosecution.”
👉🏼Unanimous, emphatic, unequivocal ruling from appeals court👈🏼

So it's really Apple Vision Pro™ then...
It’s another blow to the #Met police and #Tory party that their attempts to criminalise Greta #Thunberg and other climate protestors has failed because of the sloppiness of police communications.
But what’s also striking is the judge drew attention to the fact this was peaceful, non-violent protest that impeded no one…so why the rush to prosecute?
I can't imagine what a scientific explanation would look like, or how we would know that it was correct, but I also have no reason (other than that) to think we won't someday have one.
Everything we know about the physical world is derived from the contents of consciousness; completing the loop and explaining consciousness in terms of the physical world would be cool. :) But I can't sketch out how it would work.
(Where by "consciousness" I mean subjective experience, not easy stuff that can be straightforwardly measured objectively.)
A consciousness somehow associated with matter.
