About Stolen Device Protection for iPhone - Apple Support



About Stolen Device Protection

When Stolen Device Protection is enabled, some features and actions have additional security requirements when your iPhone is away from familiar locations such as home or work. These requirements help prevent someone who has stolen your device and knows your passcode from making critical changes to your account or device.

NYTimes: Ex-F.B.I. Informant Is Charged With Lying Over Bidens’ Role in Ukraine Business



Hunter Biden promised to protect the company "through his dad, from all kinds of problems," Mr. Smirnov falsely claimed to the bureau in 2020, according to Mr. Weiss, the special counsel who has charged the president's son twice over the past year on tax and gun charges.

Mr. Smirnov, prosecutors working for Mr. Weiss said, was only in contact with Burisma executives in 2017, after Mr. Biden left office — when he "had no ability to influence U.S. policy."

Raspberry Pi 5 - HDMI Woes & Solution



Raspberry Pi 5 - HDMI Woes & Solution



TL;DR

Problem: New Raspberry Pi 5 boots, but no HDMI
Solution: Add "video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60D" to your /boot/cmdline.txt

How to get it done

Boot your device and SSH to it.  
If you can't SSH, follow instructions here

Once logged in:
Become root
sudo su -

Change to the boot directory
cd /boot

Edit the cmdline.txt file.  (vi is always there, but use whatever editor you like)
vi cmdline.txt

Add 
video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60D 
to the beginning of your /boot/cmdline.txt file.  

cmdline.txt is a (long) single line file, so DON'T HIT RETURN.
Save the file. (:wq in vi)

Reboot your device
reboot

Done!

Note: 1920x1080M@60D is a pretty standard setting for most monitors.  
If it doesn't work for you, you may need to adjust.

There are lots of details here, which is how I got this far.

Texas Supreme Court temporarily halts abortion in Cox case


From the article:
Four of the women traveled out of state to have abortions; the fifth, whose fetus did not have a chance of surviving, was allowed to deliver only after she became septic, leaving her with permanent physical damage

This is not acceptable. Not in any way. 

This is NOT an attempt to protect life. 

This is an attempt to Control Women. Period.
