Using “updated” terms intending them as their original meaning is not usually the best plan… Like me saying “that’s an awful haircut” but using awful as the near synonym for awesome.
You’ll never convince me that running a marketplace allowing people to sell things to other people is worthy of life imprisonment.
Never? Look, I’m not one to “think of the children” an argument, but you can’t think of a single thing that someone could facilitate the buying and selling of that is worthy of life imprisonment?
While I agree with you, there are infrastructure issues if you try to transport that much energy across the country. Current infrastructure pretty much demands you have your power source be within a certain range (the range varies depending on available infrastructure.)
The obvious solution is to build out infrastructure alongside solar farms, but that’s a whole other beast to manage.
Okay, I hate to play devils advocate for that cum encrusted sock puppet, but putting a pin on upside down is leaps and bounds easier to do mistakenly than removing your flag, flipping it upside down and running it back up the pole. There is legitimate plausible deniability in the pin thing, however unlikely.

It depends very much on timing. If this was brought up within the first few weeks? Sure. But if this has been in their signature for months and/or years without issue, and suddenly it’s a problem? Extremely suspicious.

Sure. Or a bunch of recent bangers Linux isos as epubs and use them in whatever reader you want. I prefer iBook as an Apple user, but that doesn’t fit the scenario presented.
… First off, the guy was a paraplegic before the implant. This isn’t a sudden or new thing to happen.
Secondly, you’re literally asking for a final version of something without any sort of human testing involved. Can you name a single medical device, ever, which has had exactly 1 version, no updates, and went through 0 human trials before completion?
This guy was never going to be out and about on his daily walk through the middle of the street using his v0.001 neuralink implant. And if you honestly thought that was ever on the table, you have absolutely no idea what is going on.
Only in the sense that laws still need to be followed while using [the internet/water/electricity]. You don’t need to bake “no CSAM” into internet usage agreements, because it’s already illegal.
I can’t agree with that. ASICs can specialize to do one thing at lightning speeds, and fail to do even the most basic of anything else. It’s like claiming your GPU is super powerful so it should be able to run your PC without a CPU.
Fair, but that’ll usually be a “fuck no” on their part, not a forced yes.
That said, if your enterprise policies are going to enforce this, they already have something worse enforced as well such as screenshots being uploaded to a centralized database every x minutes. (I’ve personally experienced this.)
