“A few stakeholders were concerned that the release of the report would result in new legal action (criminal prosecution, citizen revocation, or otherwise) being brought against the individuals named in the report,” a summary of the library’s discussions noted.

What a good argument. Can't find any fault with that logic. Let's just get rid of laws that hold people accountable for their actions. Wouldn't want murderers, or war criminals to be inconvenienced in any way and it wouldn't be fair to embarrass the government for looking the other way or being complicit.

A tl:dr should be added for clickbait titles like that

Duck eggs are delicious. Taste is often subjective.

Have you ever thought of raising your own chickens?

Oh, you mean like the leader of the fucktards who want to make the world an even worse place than they already have. Gotcha.

Clickbait title for extra sensationalism. Nobody physically forced her to have the surgery to remove the implant.

I sympathize with this woman however it was part of the trial for it to be switched off and removed at the end of the trial, which is what she agreed to, though it does raise a lot of questions about medical trials/procedures involving implants.

If the company no longer exists but let her keep the implant, what happens when something goes wrong? Who is responsible, who do medical professionals trying to help with what went wrong contact for context, who bears the cost, what happens if it's hacked, etc etc. If it was left in and she ended up dying, it's guaranteed that headlines will talk about it being irresponsible and medical malpractice.

Fwiw, reading the MIT review, this device didn't prevent her seizures, but monitored brainwave activity and used an algorithm to predict the likelihood of an imminent seizure. She seems to have been an edge case in terms of successi in the trial.

It seems the issue is that this gave her confidence to leave the house to do things. Prior to that she very rarely left the house because of the unpredictability of her seizures. It must suck to have that confidence, and therefore freedom, taken away.

Who is the king you're referring to?

Thank you! Seems my request isn't popular - just don't enjoy using YouTube if I don't have to

Any chance you could post something other than YouTube links?

Don't have much personal experience with BX but they're probably fine. But once you have backups of anything you care about the worst that can happen is you need to restore those backups. If its running a service you can't do without then maybe a backup pi?

I have RPis running on SD cards for years with no issues so realistically you probably won't have any either but better to be prepared than not. And it also means that if you mess something up you can restore it to when it worked.

I've a number of 1GB + 2GB models. Admittedly none in the last 3 years but some are 8+ years going strong. I know of some others with no issues but maybe I've been lucky

Do you want reliable, or do you want cheap? You must choose 1 from that list.

If you're not planning on putting anything critical on it and you're doing backups, and you don't mind being without its use for however long it would take you to replace it if it dies, pick anything.

I've never had an SSD die on me Yet but I don't buy cheap brands though I don't buy top of the range and I usually buy at a good deal. Crucial MX has been reasonably priced in the past.
