Yes. Statute and the Constitution dictate it. Don't get me wrong. We don't know exactly what they're monitoring, but it does have to go through the aforementioned formality. There are aspects of ...

What the government can and can't do (scope) is defined by the legislative branch, for anyone to see.  It is executed by the executive branch, with case by case permission from the judicial ...

Private surveillance has always been well ahead of government surveillance.  It also lacks the checks and balances of government surveillance.  We just accept it with private companies a lot ...

Isn't soft bricking a device kinda like a woman being partially pregnant?

Wow!  The upgrade assurance is 80% of the full purchase price?  Such things used to be 15% (for what the OP thought it was).  This is just insane.

Does anyone actually own an egg timer anymore?

I paid for PaintShop Pro and it did the same thing.  No setting would turn it off.  At least their support desk was quick and friendly about showing me the back door to disabling it.  Good for the ...
