  • That would be an attempt. There is a reason why US DoD regulations have required levels of “shredding.” The method must make the material unable to be reassembled. His wording said they had forensic evidence of a note, but the note was destroyed. This implies they no longer can give that note to the people asking for evidence. If his team was able to reassemble it, then he could have given that evidence over. He was very clear that he was unable to provide any evidence.

    Now, what he might have meant was they found pointers to a memory location on a harddrive that had truly been wiped. A simplistic analogy would be like how Word shows you recently edited documents, but if you change the name of a document outside of Word it will not be a correct pointer when you try to select it from history in Word. There might be forensic evidence pointing to a file that was created, but they cannot access the file due to an ACTUAL deletion.





  • Reading the back-story for why she made headlines is basically Republicans in a nutshell. A white male R state senator took a subtle photo of an Iranian-American female D state senator without her permission. He then shared the photo on a GOP group chat where they all made fun of her and said she looks like a stripper and a prostitute. When it got reported that this was happening in their chat, he deleted his post and denied knowing anything about it. The guy is also the Chair of the anti-harassment committee. This woman who just resigned also said she had no idea who took the photo or anything about the chat that she was on. When security footage showed the guy took the photo and screenshots of the chat showed him making fun of her, he decided to resign to avoid punishment while also making a Twitter post about how he was being unjustly persecuted. This woman also got on the floor to yell at people for calling to question her integrity for lying about who took the photo and everything about the case.

    How dare this woman of color act like a white person while wearing whatever she wants!?!

    How dare you question my integrity after I lied right to your face to protect an abusive piece of shit!?!

    Also, since body shaming is OK for him, let me say that he looks exactly like who you would picture if someone said, “a truck driver was arrested for aggravated assault while intoxicated.”



  • Why would I want a device that I never use? I only make phone calls roughly 3 times per week. I message multiple times a day, but flip phones had shitty interfaces for typing. The vast majority of my phone use is web search, camera, navigation, and messaging. Flip phones could get better cameras than they used to have. Their screens were too small to do great at web searching. Navigation might work, I guess. Although I used to love my Treo and Pre for the full physical keyboard, I prefer swype typing now to tapping or physical keys.
