I post this every time someone is looking for "free speech", and it has been completely relevant every single time.

The odds of you getting your own IPv4 address are pretty low, unless seedboxes have very different rules than I'd expect. Presumably you have a shared IP behind NAT, and they forward ports (not unlike a good VPN)

In that case, they would need the IP address, incoming port, and a very specific timestamp.

You're assuming they would object to that. I haven't seen anything to support that assumption.

I have no need for a truck, and I still considered getting one. The Lightning is very impressive all around.

It makes more sense if you start from the other side - EVs are a niche market, and an electric truck is a small subset of that.

The Cybertruck sold 38,965 units last year, vs 33,510 for the Ford F150 Lightning.

This is almost always relevant as soon as someone complains about free speech, censorship, etc:

They're trying to redefine electricity as a privilege. As in, we shouldn't expect/rely on it.

Even in all but the worst dystopian worlds, the people have electricity.

There is evidence for certain events. However, once you get into it, you realize they're all just.... Ordinary.

For instance, Noah's Ark can be traced back to an area that floods regularly. A merchant built a boat as an evacuation plan. One year, the floods were really bad, and he had to use his boat.

That's it. Exaggeration and artistic license turned that into what we know today.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't most of them available as containers? Why would you need any hypervisor support beyond containers?

There are a number of active laws that were rendered unconstitutional by Lawrence v. Texas. In addition to the anti-sodomy laws, this invalidated most laws restricting sex toys.

Lawrence was explicitly called out as being on the chopping block in the Jackson decision, so these are slated for a comeback. The only real limitation is that SCOTUS needs a case, and the challenger needs to show standing.

Edit: fixed autocorrect

These have their place, though. The obvious example is public charging cables, which at least have had PoC for exploits.

That also implies that there is more to get excited about. It's entirely possible that the leaks have completely stolen the thunder of their big reveal.

I also suspect that when they say "not official", what they really mean is "not final". i.e. These are prototypes, and could change by the time it's officially announced. They could also be contractually limited from statements, in a "we can neither confirm nor deny" kind of way.

I do agree with your larger point that their press release left something to be desired.
