  1. protip if you DO use biometrics - most phones have a "secure lock" feature where you can click the lock button 5 times and it'll require a password or passcode input. Rebooting the phone does the same thing too, and still is compliant with the police's request and is not destructive towards any potential """evidence""" they'd want to pin on you
  2. Pretty incredible and shocking news stories coming out with the increased push and emphasis on immigration. I figured surly could use a NEWS thread to collect the happenings, and they are pretty newsworthy if you're a Texan. To kick us off, Alice ISD is now circulating a letter advising parents to make sure their children have their paperwork on them at all times, as ICE is stopping school busses to check for illegal 4th graders https://www.texastribune.org/2025/02/05/alice-texas-buses-students-citizenship-border-patrol/ Gonna be a long way down this news hole, I fear.
  3. Bibi has a chance to do the funniest thing
  4. Really excellent analysis of what started the Eaton fire. Poorly maintained electrical lines say HOLLA!
  5. Well yeah, if the dollar takes a dump it'll make their crypto holdings more valuable. They're just fucking James Bond villians running their scheme.
  6. It's so maddening because there's no good reason to do this. The US government is not a trustless system, and this would do nothing but add overhead and a new literal cryptoregulatory state. Code is law, after all.
  7. They're all busy sucking on their teeth and wondering what trades to make to net up during the tarrifs dumbassery
  8. It fits with the cycle of abuse
  9. Take over Gaza.... Build a sovereign wealth fund... ... Are we sure the president isn't just copying off of the Qatari playbook?
  10. It'll be a doozie seeing them throw out the natural born citizen requirement
  11. Jkjk it's wild that surly ops is basically one person, I don't know how you still have hair managing this pack of miscreants
  12. Lmao these idiots hear "strip" and think Vegas. Good lord we're gonna end up with Biff's Pleasure Palace aren't we?
  13. And the insurance industry for adjustments. Get ready for (even) more expensive home insurance
  14. No no, we're talking about the people you denied - not your success stories
  15. There's genuine free speech issues around the idea of banning a specific configuration of weights and biases in a transformer architecture. So I'm sure it'll go through without a hitch, knowing our current timeline
  16. 2.2 Billion gallons lost for any future fires or crops https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/03/climate/trump-california-water-dams-reservoirs/index.html At least the adults are in charge right @realgreggym?
  17. He gets off on seeing people upset. It's why he's in the health insurance game
  18. at least the children are gone now right @realgreggym?
  19. Don't worry it'll take a dump the day after the shares mature and you're assesed taxes on them, same as it ever was
  20. In a functional constituional democratic republic, a president can't do such a thing. .... what makes you think we're in a functional constitutional democratic republic?

    3D Printing

    I must admit I'm pretty behind on my color pallete, but I'm really been appreciating the print quality improvement a simple filament dryer has been realizing for me. Consider grabbing one of those $30-40 heated ones on Amazon (I picked this one up for $30 on black Friday), it's really upped my print quality and made every spool behave very consistently. My TPU and PETG prints are under control with significantly less stringing and random oozing
  22. No shit. It's being ran by a man who bankrupted an Atlantic City casino during the cocaine 80's and his pet apartheid nazi sympathizer.
