HiTech Crime

Your iPhone is dying by 2 PM every day. It's not the battery. It's 14 settings Apple turned ON by default that are silently draining it in the background. I changed all of them and gained 4+ hours of daily battery life. Steal them

When uncle Phil yelled, you sat down and listened

Just a reminder: in 1982, when Great Britain was attacked by Argentina, starting the Falklands War, the United States did not come to their aid because the Falklands are not in the North Atlantic and the British did not bitch about it. In 1956, when the French and British attacked Egypt, causing the Suez Crisis, despite the fact that France and Great Britain are in NATO, the United States not only refused to assist, but went to the United Nations to condemn them for attacking Egypt. In 2019, when Turkey decided to attack Syria, the Trump administration had the Pentagon send out an official notice that they did not support the campaign and would not send troops. So kindly shut the fuck up, everyone in the White House.

Can’t imagine where we could find c.20% time savings in the criminal justice system without restricting the right to jury trial for thousands and thousand of people. Absolute mystery.

A 🧵if I may There is a video going around of a man being arrested at an airport for “hurty words” by armed police I know nothing of the job so won’t comment on that but a couple of points from personal experience I had a delightful chap sending his ex horrible messages

I have seen the adjournment of two rape trials this year. It’s only March. Nothing in Lammy’s proposed Bill would have saved the trial dates in either case. Nothing.

For those of you interested in jury trials, this is Parliament at its best. 👇

@benonwine I’ll keep it simple in words you can understand They already have that power under various parts of legislation including ECHR Stick to selling wine Oh, wait a moment …..

Courtroom Blues: My sympathy is with the selfless police officer, who suffered serious injury when this sledgehammer was brought down on their spine. The jury was 'unable to reach a verdict'?! Shocking, sad, and deeply disappointing outcome.

@jeremycorbyn Shush you communist windsock, they went against the evidence because Tarquin and Petunia were protesting, look at all the points to prove and they did it, one juror even complained to the judge about PA posters around the court, it’s a complete mistrial

I could literally reduce the Crown Court backlog in 9 steps starting tomorrow. And precisely none of it would involve tampering with jury trials.

On behalf on my 5 year old daughter, whose teacher says she dawdles and daydreams. Apparently she is doing this so she is kept in at break time and doesn't have to go out in the cold. I fear she may be an evil genius.

Due to circumstances, I am awake

@LindseyGrahamSC America is the only nation member of NATO to invoke article 5, it cost my friends their lives so f&ck off with your horse sh1t, go fight your own battles

@LindseyGrahamSC have you said thank you to everyone who lost their lives when NATO article 5 was invoked to support the USA?

"YOUR ISP CAN SEE YOUR TRAFFIC, USE A VPN" What they actually mean: Yes — your ISP sees: Every domain you visit (e.g. twitter[.]com) How much data you're sending/receiving Your real IP address Timing & patterns (can figure out habits even without content) sold/used for ads/profiling. But NO — with HTTPS: They CANNOT see exact page (/login vs /profile), passwords, messages, or content inside encrypted connections. VPN fixes the domain/IP visibility by routing everything through their encrypted tunnel (ISP only sees Proton's server IP). But now you trust Proton instead (no-logs audited is good, but still a shift). HTTPS protects content. VPN protects metadata + location.

I got an interesting @SANSInstitute question from a friend. Figured it's best to share the info around.

Open twitter, see a DM Open it, it’s from a follower saying they’ve joined the “job” because of my positive messages about policing and they are loving it Won’t lie, I cried 🥹🥹 Welcome to the #ThinBlueLine family 😊🫡🫡
