For this headline/article, and US english in general, park passes do not refer to parking. The passes referred to would also not be used while they’re on duty.

it doesn’t have a disc drive

False. Only the least expensive model has eMMC for the built-in storage. The other models have replaceable (upgradable) NVMe SSDs.

Oh, I obviously interpreted that as meaning a hard disk drive (which SSDs are still commonly referred to as HDDs) since we were discussing modern PCs. Many years ago external physical file transfer mostly transitied away from using actual spinning disks to USB storage, and even that has been mostly supplanted by network connected storage for several years.

I disagree. That was BC. It’d be like saying people born in the 1930s relate more to colonial times than today. There are some of them who are still alive. While a percentage want nothing to do with modern ways, I think the type to be involved in forming a nation would be lifelong learners akin to the old folks who have little trouble with today’s modernities.

While most states work that way, Maine and Nebraska are not winner-take-all and have split their votes more proportionally.

as we know bandwidth is extremely expensive

No. You very obviously don’t know how bandwidth is handled for large providers. They don’t pay per gb, and instead have peering agreements with other networks. Google generally doesn’t have to pay these other networks, as Google has the web applications that the other networks’ customers expect to be able to use.

The subject of the post is a direct example that action can be taken quickly and you can’t just blame ‘the ststem’.

We have to hold the legislators accountable and don’t believe anyone trying to deflect their ineffectiveness.

Yes, but it wouldn’t be accurate to say the entire device is. There are multiple pieces of software that are in use on modern Android phones, and some are under copyleft licenses while some pieces are proprietary. https://opensource.samsung.com

you can license programs made with GPL code under Apache

No, it’s the other way around. The GPL doesn’t allow you to remove the user protections.

got the firearm they used from a family member or a relative

and

obtained weapons from friends or acquaintances

does not imply those people legally owned the gun already.

I would expect that households who raise children to think violence is acceptable are more likely to disregard the laws.
