13:53 UEFI and secure boot were failed Microsoft plots to lock Linux from being installed on PCs. I therefore never use either on my own PCs, BIOS has always worked fine for me. Plus I can make Gentoo Linux run nicely on just about any PC anyway, so I don't need to pay good money for crappy new hardware that only gives you UEFI and solders everything to the motherboard - so when a motherboard or RAM chip goes wrong, you end up paying out $500 for a complete new motherboard. I buy older and modular hardware that does the job I need it to do and if a component goes wrong, it's usually cheap to replace. I had that scenario recently when a female student got in contact with me because she heard that I do PC repairs and she handed me a fairly new Lenovo Yoga laptop with Windows installed that could no longer access the NVME drive - it turned out it was a motherboard fault and with everything welded to the board, it was going to cost her $500 for me to replace it (and that was without me charging her for my labour). It also turned out that the NVME drive is encrypted to the motherboard anyway, and you can't even take the NVME drive out, put it into an external USB case and boot the laptop from that, or even access the files on it to give to her as a backup. (No, of course, as the average Windows user, she made no backups.) People need to stop with the idiocy of not knowing anything about about the technology that they go and spend good money on. They lack any form of personal responsibility, they think it's the job of the device manufacturer or Microsoft to protect their data and they blindly let these companies configure their devices in these completely stupid ways that don't take into account questions like "so what happens to my encrypted files when the motherboard goes wrong". My philosophy is "keep it simple, stupid" and just be responsible for your own devices when using them in public - for example, don't be stood there in the street peering down at your tiny screen when some thieving fecker can ride past on a scooter and just swipe it out of your hand. "Idiocracy" - it's already here.
Apart from PCs (Linux|) and an Android phone, So-Called SMART gizmos are banned in this house. Why you need, for instance, a light switch connected to the Web, is beyond me. Must be some lazy folk about!
I have sadly, over time, come to a realization that the Governing classes do NOT live in the same world as the person in the street. They lead comfortable, cossetted and privileged lives so have little in common with us overall. This is the core of the problem where we vote for a party once every four or five years. Once elected they begin to do much of what suits them and not so much us. Ordinary people would do better to cooperate a lot more together. Communities online like this one are a great example to follow.
Whose law? Not aware of any here in Jamaica I need to worry about. Of course, I don't have Smart Gadgets anyway, other than my brilliant Linux desktop (and Firefox, uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger).
Jamaica certainly isn't deserted (other than the centre of the Cockpit Country), but it beats hell out of the "first world" when it comes to freedom. A plus is the women love white guys and there are no man-hating, finger-waving feministas. You'd probably be very happy here.
False advertising includes deception, so if a vendor falsely represents the warranty or the support, that would run afoul of the warranty act, if not in the letter of it, then by proxy by being false advertising, and then in turn running afoul of the warranty act. Also, forget the $15 price tag. It's a red herring. 15 USC §2302 (Title 15, Chapter 50, Section 2302) is what they're referring to with the written warranty being made available part. The $15 price is probably their threshold for enforcement at the time of writing. That or they accidentally plugged in the title number. 2302 says it applies to anything over $5, 2303 says it applies over $10.
When you were growing up, did your parents pay for everything cash? Like your school, healthcare, roads... if they went jobless for whatever reason, didn't they expect to get state help, regardless of how long they worked? Or you, if you became disabled and unable to work... wouldn't you expect to be taken care of? You completely lack understanding of the social welfare, that it works on the principle of solidarity NOW. It isn't a savings pot for you to use your money you paid in, later. I thought you were a Christian, sharing wealth with those less fortunate than you, and be taken care of when needed, too. What Ponzi scheme? Geez...
Your claim that your money is going to Ukraine instead of social services is dumb for many reasons. For one, Ukraine gets mainly older weapons that would cost a lot to dispose of, and artillery that would never be used. Also, the budget doesn't work like that. In a country with trillions of debt, money sent to Ukraine doesn't just come off social services. Even if the money wasn't going to Ukraine you probably wouldn't want it to go to social services anyway. The military gets a trillion and you don't complain, but a foreign country under attack gets some old weapons, and you are upset. The pandering to Russia is crazy...
being upset that more than enough of your taxpayer dollars is being sent to a stalemate isn't pandering to Russia, it's being reasonably upset as a normal human being. Just the same as being mad at social services that don't work. But I was never really given the option to say no and be allowed to continue living life for myself and those around me.

As a european i have to ask, do you guys in the us need to unlock your phone to call 911?

anyone have a bunker or deserted island i can rent/buy? modernity is exhausting.

I know it is a problem for you but I thank you for funding my SS. It is the only income my wife and I have.

idk what he thinks but the money surely could go to the people displaced from the hurricane

Agreed.

You are right,the money that Arm Ukraine came from our South American narcos that works from CIA.
