The thought “well honesty Alberto Gonzalez as AG is like 10 steps up right now…” popped into my head and now I’m sad.

Good to see Gargamel following his dreams.
- Comment on Do movie actors or actress keep the skills they learned? Like no one would screw with Keanu after seeing all the John Wick films? And if they did would they just be fucked from the start? 3 weeks ago:
I think it depends on how the actor prepares. Keanu is known to be super involved in his stunts and has done a fair amount of actual firearms training. I believe he’s competed in some amateur events.
I would absolutely expect him to be significantly more skilled with firearms than the average person.
And even if he wasn’t John Wick, I just cannot imagine the justification for fucking with Keanu Reeves.

It’s okay. 40 fps with fsr3. I have been sticking with my desktop for that reason. The game is absolutely fantastic though.
- Comment on An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house" 1 month ago:
The reason it being turned off matters is because LE has a significantly more difficult time extracting data from that state. And again, a proper faraday bag prevents signal leak.
You guys are welcome to do what you want, I’m just explaining the best way to stay safe if you don’t want to leave your phone at home. There are plenty of legitimate reasons someone may want one as a lifeline just in case.

Unless your device is already compromised, that information isnt being logged when the device is powered off so it’s kind of moot.
- Comment on An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house" 1 month ago:
I’m talking about an actual faraday bag, not a foil bag. That, combined with a powered off device keeps you fairly protected. They aren’t going to get into your phone if it’s powered off.
it also provides an alibi. “see, my phone was here all day long.”
There’s going to be a deviation in usage regardless, it’s not providing an alibi. A gap of time when you’re not using your device that you normally would be is a marker they look for. They key is keeping them locked out (again, power them off).

Having a small faraday bag around is useful too, that’s what I do.

The more time passes the more 5 and 6 begin to seem like temporary missteps.
I just wanna say me and a buddy played through 5 in co-op and had a great time. Chris Redfield can explode a fucking boulder with his fists and it’s great.

I like that I get music too. I honestly don’t mind my Premium subscription, I get decent value out of it for the amount of content I view. I just wish creators saw more of that money.

- Comment on Android phones will soon reboot if they’re locked for a few days 3 months ago:
Basically, the tools that LE uses to unlock devices uses exploits that require the device to be in what’s called an AFU (after first unlock) state. The data on the device is encrypted prior to that first unlock after you boot. If the device is in a BFU state (before first unlock) Cellebrite/Greykey (by far the primary tools used in this space) basically hit a wall.
