At 9 PM, when the kids should have been in bed, getting a good night’s sleep for school the next day.

No arrests, no fines. Mostly if not all Guatemalan children, probably undocumented, likely deported after a nice traumatizing ICE detention.

SpaceNoodle ,

It’s containers all the way down!

SpaceNoodle ,

It does if they uploaded it to github

    I’ll gladly spend a little more time in front of a stove that isn’t actively killing me.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    What are you going on about? Who am I making fun of? There’s sound evidence that gas stoves emit harmful pollutants.

    This is what would happen if Apple ever manages to finish its self-driving car.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Was it not Galactic Empire?

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Your diagram is confusing. Where did it start?

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Get better

    SpaceNoodle ,

    The e-reader is the Kindle. But that’s just how they started the Fire.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Would this still be a story if it were eBay?

    SpaceNoodle ,

    That’s fair. Honestly, it was kind of a dumb move on their part to name their tablets “Kindle Fire” on release, as it confused almost everyone with what was an e-reader and what wasn’t. By the time they returned it to just “Fire” / “Fire Tablet” to match other product families (Fire Phone, Fire TV), the damage was done. The only reason I can keep it straight is the fact that I worked on them for a decade.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Everything The Onion writes comes true, so I think it counts.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Califlorida?

    SpaceNoodle ,

    So uhhhhh how much pigeon per pound of flour we talkin’ here

    SpaceNoodle ,

    I assume it usually doesn’t augur well for them.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Bugs are inevitable. A pigeon is on a whole different scale.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Well, the mean is a bad average to use. The median would be an average more representative of the general population.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Oh. Good.

    Baltimore to pay $48 million to 3 men wrongly imprisoned for 36 years (www.washingtonpost.com)

    Three men who spent 36 years in prison for a murder they did not commit — they were wrongly arrested as teenagers by Baltimore police and wrongly convicted by a jury — will receive $48 million from the city after a vote Wednesday by the Baltimore City Board of Estimates....

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Might as well be a death sentence now that they’re out where the cops can find them.

    Leaked Microsoft pay guidelines reveal salary, hiring bonus, and stock award ranges by level (www.businessinsider.com)

    Leaked Microsoft pay guidelines reveal salary, hiring bonus, and stock award ranges by level::The guidelines viewed by Insider show ranges for base pay, hiring bonuses, and annual stock awards but vary by role and location.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Paywall, and no complete dump of the ranges?

    SpaceNoodle ,

    If the patient’s name is Alexa, you’re gonna have a bad time

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Yes, there’s a dedicated mute button that literally cuts power to the mic.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    False. The mute button literally removes power to the microphone. The indicator LED is actually hardwired to indicate the inverse of its power line.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    No software update could bypass such a hardware feature, which is exactly why it was designed thusly.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    No, the microphone literally stops converting sound to electrical signals in that mode. The mute button causes a hardware disconnect; if the mute light is on, the microphone is literally unpowered.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    How do you alter hardware remotely?

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Yes, third parties have published complete hardware teardowns of various Echo devices. For what it’s worth, I’ve also personally reviewed multiple Echo device schematics, and have nothing to gain from lying.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Huh? It was built that way, and it does it. It’s a hardware feature.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Again, the power cut & indicator light are implemented in hardware. there is no software running on a single-transistor circuit.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Your reading comprehension is terrible.

    I am not just talking about the pushbutton.

    I am stating that the mic power is literally disconnected in mute mode. The indicator LED physically cannot light up unless the power is cut. This is all implemented directly in hardware. This has been torn down by hardware enthusiasts and verified for many, if not all, Echo devices. I’ve also personally reviewed the schematics of multiple Echo devices.

    A hardware circuit like that cannot be modified by any software, because there is no software involved in it.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    I was developing devices for Amazon professionally. Those were the schematics from the actual hardware design.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    So feel free to read all the teardown articles.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Heh. I’ll continue to badmouth Amazon for all the internal and external bullshit they pull, but during the decade I worked there, they actually took privacy and security seriously for the in-house devices.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Audio jacks have been muxed as debug serial for ages.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Easy there, Cave

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Wow, there are actually still medical offices there.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Neat.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Why would he stop now?

    SpaceNoodle ,

    I hate those charts

    SpaceNoodle ,

    If it’s a baked dessert, Sally’s Baking Addiction is your one-stop shop. Her recipe preambles are about how the recipe works and how it can be tweaked, not her fake grandmother in Cyprus.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    More like $20.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Never saw a music shop with a communal CD player that allowed you to remove the CD shrink wrap.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    You waited two weeks to misread a comment. Good job.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Or a bay or a sound?

    SpaceNoodle ,

    Your literacy? Apparently.

    SpaceNoodle ,

    My comment had nothing to do with driving boats, champ.
