  • You’re technically correct, but you’re still an asshole.

    Punishment for yelling fire in a crowded theater isn’t a first amendment violation. Yelling fire in a crowded theater when there isn’t a fire, you know there isn’t a fire, and a stampede occurs resulting in a death, is involuntarily manslaughter.

    Punishment for death threats isn’t a first amendment violation, but it is usually coercion.

    And publishing classified data without authorization is illegal, but it’s highly nuanced. It can be considered a first amendment right of the press to publish classified documents in some circumstances, but how they obtained those documents is definitely scrutinized. Then there’s always the question of “what is press” nowadays when literally everybody carries their own personal printing press in their pocket.





  • Oh man. “I saw it on TV!”. Exact same intonation my 4yo used when he saw a “trailer” for Mario Movie 2 when actually it was just some junk a highschool kid threw together in iMovie. Totally belief and innocent ignorance.

    It’s at that moment I realized that Trump isn’t just a useful idiot. He’s the perfect useful idiot.

    Like a part of me thinks that Trump might actually believe in Santa and that he looks an awful lot like that guy in the power tool show and sounds an awful lot like Buzz Lightyear.

    Instructions unclear. I’m going to the moon on Delta IX.

    (Edit: my dumbass just realized it’s ∆V, as in velocity. I thought Delta 5 was the name of a type of chemical propellant. Though now that I think of it, it really should be. Damn, and I work for a space company too. At least I’m just in IT).


  • Sure, but Trump is a totally different tier of liar.

    Most politicians “lie” through omission. They’ll tell the truth, just not the parts that make them or their friends look bad. That and overly ambitious campaign promises…but I generally look past that because they should really be called “campaign goals”, and the “stretch goals” should be easily identified by anyone with two braincells to rub together.

    Trump just puts out straight up objective falsehoods and rattles them off with a straight face.


  • Not only that, but managing wifi channel congestion in a dorm is a pita.

    It’s tough enough when you fully control the airspace, to have nice clean coverage and overlapping cells.

    But then add dozens or hundreds of individually managed APs in a tiny space…with DFS and/or 160MHz channel widths?

    Ops best bet is to get their own 5g home internet and plug in.

    You’ll be hard pressed to get a router to talk to a captive portal sign in…but if OP wants to get creative, this can easily be fixed with a dumb switch and a Linux PC with two NICs. You could use windows for this, but why would you?
