    I said demand, not ask. Demand requires reasonable articulable suspicion of a crime. Many cops arrest people for not providing identification when they're under no obligation to do…

    If a cop demands your ID when you have no obligation to give it, your answer should be something to the effect of "I hope you get hit by the next passing 18-wheeler". Malignant aut…

    With Windows 11. In 10 and prior you could even move it to other monitors, just by dragging and dropping it. It's baffling they thought that functionality was a bug that people wan…

    I do not understand this analogy. A water source the entire population of an area relies upon is in no way the same as a specific, small organization's private means of communicati…

    No. They weren't flagged because they went into Lebanon which has very little import security, and because it was a supply chain attack. The batteries were swapped for a combinatio…

    I have to disagree. Canada loses a lot of its top talent every year to the US, mostly because of the TN visa. Canadian talent leaves Canada every year, and less investment is not g…

    The pair of animations on the page are beautifully done, not just technically but aesthetically as well. If the rest of the book is like that I'll be getting a copy.
