@arstechnica Cool, so we are just being clear that iPhones are tracking this data ( through whatever format) and would presumably turn the data over to law enforcement for abortion crimes as has already been shown as an arrestable offense in some states.

@arstechnica It's really worth noting that this is the same software that microsoft is certain will help the new let's screenshot everything you ever do on your computer 'helper' stay secure.

I'm sure this will end real well.

No more refunds after 100 hours: Steam closes Early Access playtime loophole

@arstechnica Genuinely, I feel like 2 hours is too short of a refund window, with initial setup and crashes and tutorials and similar.

I still hear people arguing that prosecuting a former president sets a “dangerous precedent.”

The truly dangerous precedent would be to establish that presidents are above the law.

@rbreich The interesting thing to me about this, is that was the exact argument to not do anything to Nixon. Because that would set a dangerous precedent and then all our presidents would be constantly in legal battles.

That didn't really happen, and in fact, if we'd actually done more that direction we probably wouldn't be in so much trouble now with Trump. So let's try that version for a bit!
