He benefits because it shores up control of Congress. He’s worried about the midterms because of how disastrous the gas price climb has been for Republican support. I know they’re desperate to shore up their flagging numbers because I got a cold call the other day from a bot trying to convince me that Iran was a massive danger to the US and that if we hadn’t invaded now it would have lead to a massive attack in the future and strongly implied that would have involved Iran nuking the US. It was blatant propaganda couched as a public opinion survey but their bias wasn’t even subtle.

They’re in full blown panic because not even Republican voters are supporting this war at this point. Trump needs gas prices to come down ASAP before they bleed even more votes.

The old one was, but not the current one.

Not really unless you have a particular sensitivity to the specific food colorings used. Compared to recent recalls this is pretty minor as it’s essentially just a mistake on the label rather than any kind of contaminate. I.E. had the labels correctly included the yellow food coloring used this would be perfectly fine to sell and there would be no recall.

Repeal churches tax exempt status and most of those megachurches will implode practically overnight. Remove their ability to effectively grift and most of them will move on to a more profitable scam and the ones that are left will be far less dangerous with less money to throw around for bribes.

So it was an unplanned rapid oxidation event then was it?

The problem would be driving the display. Typically you need some kind of dedicated display driver IC which is likely baked into the control IC on these devices. It’s most likely not worth the time to try to figure out one without the other. The good news is someone linked a really cool hackaday article above where somebody worked out the control protocol on at least one model and demonstrated pushing pretty arbitrary content to the display.

Yes, but actually no. They almost certainly use cheap glob top ICs for their firmware and I’d be surprised if they can be reflashed at all. You might be able to figure out how to push your own updates to them but you’ll likely be restricted to displaying a limited format. It’s really going to depend on the specific model though and how open ended the manufacturer made them.

The real kicker is that Omarchy is a shit distro, it’s just Arch with some very badly written scripts thrown on top. Any of the other Arch derived distros or just plain Arch itself are way better options.

It’s sad but he’s been in pretty bad health for a while now so it’s not exactly surprising.

Pretty sure a medium strength laser would be enough to damage or destroy the camera sensor in one of these. Could probably snipe it with one from far enough away that being identified would be pretty unlikely.
