How did he get caught and what could he have done differently?

Is this better than What Three Words which also has a URL scheme? And is more memorable.

Infamous compared to what? I'm no fan of Tesla but electric motors are a LOT more reliable than IC motors.

Note that this is not the same as saying Tesla's cars are reliable..

Engine and motor are synonyms. Broadly speaking, newer technology gets called motor to differentiate it from older technology.

See steam engine. Motor car. Etc.

And yeah, electric motors have fuck all to go wrong. Love my EV.

(Sorry for being a pedant)

It wouldn't make this one tiny jot better for those who suffered. The perpetrator is irrelevant. Lock em up and forget em.

The focus should be on making things right for the victims. A million dollars per year of imprisonment for starters.

Unpopular opinion: We should offer all dictators and their friends a safe retirement package.

Cornered dictators are dangerous. They will always keep escalating because the alternative isn't just their neck on the block, it's all of their friends and family too.

Why are there police in American schools? That's very weird.

Tech Bros love naming their stuff after evil Tolkien shit. And they seem to do it totally unironically - as if they read the books but were confused about which side the good guys were.

What's the 5 pin plug on the right for?

The fans connected to this controller have stopped lighting up all at once. They still blow and can adjust their speed. Just no light.

Can I control their light/colour from JRGB on my motherboard?

I don't have a cable for the 5 pin socket on the right.

As you can see, it has 2 of each terminal. The supplied wiring diagram only shows one being used. I have two identical 24v strips that I want to dim together - can I just wire them both in?

We had a referendum on ranked choice voting (referred to as AV at the time) here in the UK some years ago. The campaign against it was shocking. Well funded and extremely vocal. Bizarre lies and misinformation.

Someome really hates changing FPTP.

What's the best way to restrict my Android devices to only use approved apps? I want to manage the whitelist remotely.

Bonus points if I can keep everything in-house, on my home server or similar via my existing VPN.

This is for my kids' future phones. Ages 12 to 16.

Linux has built in drivers for most shit with no account necessary. Logitech (for example) has a third party app called Solaar that does everything Logitechs own crappy mouse/keyboard software does.

Getting away from the endless hassle of popups and drivers was my biggest motivation for switching to Linix way back in 2008.

Just for context, this is in the UK so the officer WILL be prosecuted and punished accordingly.

It is worth noting that other officers at the scene had a broken nose and other injuries before this happened. It doesn't excuse what he does but there's certainly a lot more to the story here.
