Absolutely they can. Carriers have access to the system partition aka We do what we want (hopefully they do what makes sense). This is how bloatware is installed (the things you can't get ride of).
Your thinking is tainted by the american model where you buy carrier locked phones. But no, that is not usually how it works. The system partition can be modified by the party who issues system updates. Normally this would be the company making the phone, such as Samsung. But in the US, some carriers sell modified phones locked to their network, and in that case the carrier is also the one shipping updates.
Worked at Sprint back in the day and we (I) had to do this. Special certificates to produce a special OS build with the right privileges (carrier specific). The carriers and builders (Samsung etc) work together to get this in place. That on top of zero rating data being sent out for tracking allow the carrier (or builder) to do what they want.
Are you sure this is the case? All the carrier app loading implementations that I am aware of (this is a small number) explicitly whitelist some carriers or even some apps by certain carriers. For instance, the implementation I worked on myself (as a reviewer) only granted a single carrier to load one of their apps when the SIM card was inserted.
With that implementation, it would not be possible for any random carrier in a foreign country to load random bloat onto my phone just by me crossing the border to that country.
Literally just returned a Dell WD19TB. Supposedly it was certified to work with MacBook Pro and tested with a 16in 2020 Intel and 2021 MacBook Pro Max. Neither worked and dock would shutdown after only 5 minutes if I was lucky.
For Macs I would only use the suggested docs from Apple (CalDigit/OWC etc).
I have a Dell WD19TB too and it works great with the MacBook Pro M1 Pro. I have 2 monitors connected (a 1440p@240Hz and a 1080p@60Hz), keyboard, mouse, a Elgato video capture card and ethernet. The 1080p monitor gave some trouble though, I had to connect it to the usb-c port on the dock that supports daisy chaining.
The dock also works out of the box with the iPad Pro M1 (with some caveats, only the 1440p monitor outputs video, didn't try to use the Elgato card) and with my Dell Latitude running Ubuntu.
Could not ever get the up-to-date TB16 to do power delivery correctly to anything (HP Zbook/various Asus/Lenovo Yoga 7) except a Dell laptop. The led on the USB-C connector stays off. The power - if delivered - stays very low and the laptop takes from its battery.
A police force headed by a minority means nothing if the racism before that person joined is still there and he or she does not do anything to help change. It's like getting a Black president and saying racism and lynching was abolished by voting this person in office. The statistics show that the murders of unarmed people of color at the hands of police officers is disproportionately higher than that of the white people. And the is specifically true for back men. Out of every 100K black people 8 of the men of that population will die, unarmed, at the hands of the police force that happen to be white. These statistics enable the "seeing" process. Sources for the statistics are given in the article. You are free to calculate your own conclusions.
> The statistics show that the murders of unarmed people of color at the hands of police officers is disproportionately higher than that of the white people.
The statistics show all kinds of things. It would show the same for men vs women, young vs old, it would even show the same poor urban areas vs rich suburbs.
It's unfortunate, but also clear that certain demographics simply present a higher threat. Perhaps the police should be blind to age, race, neighbourhood and gender, but in reality that's not going to happen. It's a survival instinct we all have and if you pretend you feel less threatened when a group of young men walk pass you in a rough area compared to an elderly couple in the suburbs, then you're lying.
What you really need to be asking is whether these stats are a product of the increased threat young black men pose to the police or whether this is simply straight up racism. But the fact these statistics are not comparable to other minority ethnic groups living in the US, nor to black women, you have to question if racism is the best explanation of the data. Indeed if it is racism, it seems to be a very unusual type of racism which has prejudice specifically for young, male, poor, and of course, black individuals.
Great, now let's look into why they commit so much crime - perhaps because they have been marginalised for generations, depicted as criminals, denied education, pushed towards the edge of society? Your statement is like saying Jews in Germany didn't contribute tax, while they were "living" in concentration camps. It is time for the US to pull out of the middle ages and become a modern country. A society belongs to everyone, regardless of "race", "religion", and so on.
I am not sure why you deleted your comment - I know the HN commentariat will downvote anything contrary to its liking, but this is a forum for debating issues. I managed to read it quickly, and while I disagree with it, I welcome it.
I welcome it because I can input my opinion and maybe shed some light on why i think you are wrong.
You posted about raw numbers of whites in poverty vs blacks in poverty. By raw numbers you are right, there are more white people living in poverty. But there are more white people overall.
"According to 2018 US Census Data, the highest poverty rate by race is found among Native Americans (25.4%), with Blacks (20.8%) having the second highest poverty rate, and Hispanics (of any race) having the third highest poverty rate (17.6%). Whites had a poverty rate of 10.1%, while Asians had a poverty rate at 10.1%." - that means the likelihood of black people and native americans being poor is higher than that of whites.
You also implied I think all whites are racists. If I would have than it would have been racist towards white people. I think whitepeople as a people are not racist, but there is a solid number of white people being racist. This doesn't make all of them racist, just like some criminals from the black community doesn't make all black people racist.
Scholarships are meant to try and help members of that group gain education. White people are more likely to be able to attend university. Doesn't mean there are no white people who can't afford education. The issue is not that blacks are getting scholarships, the issue is that education is too expensive and only a few afford it.
You finished your comment with "no shit" to my statement that society belongs to everyone. You are right, but some disagree with you.
I remember personally speaking to a white american back when the new orleans floods happened, and he point blank told me "it's the ni* who get fu". I remember a friend who went on a trip to NY with his white lawyer friends stating that smoking weed while driving is fine, because the police will only stop the "ni". I also remember images of LA, SF, NY, and their ghettos where there are mainly black people.
As I said, I welcome debate. That's the only way we can get to the bottom of what is going on.
Strange. My buddies cat loves sweets. Especially pecan pie. I'm not sure if she's just trying to bond with him by eating the same food at the same time or she has a sweet tooth.
Herman Miller Celle and SteelCase Leap (in storage). Just learned about the Celle and it's perfect. I recommend both if you have sciatica. You should be able to get both used and in really good condition.
