There is no actual logic to having time windows to access confiscated devices that are not ever going to be returned. Anything that’s not technology is completely unaffected by that silliness.

There’s no world where a legally confiscated physical object is held to the same standard.


I don’t see the issue here.

The seizure of the devices happened with appropriate warrants, the actual search was done with appropriate warrants, there’s apparently some weird time limit on the search warrant on a seized device, and some of the maintenance involved took place outside that weird time restriction.

The actual hacking of the device and the actual search of the contents of the device were with a warrant.


Leaked how? No good practice allows any way for a password to “leak”.

What rotating passwords does is ensure people who don’t use a password manager either write their password down more and more frequently, or use a weaker password with some simple changing pattern that doesn’t add anything.


Changing passwords is almost always completely useless, and requiring it dramatically weakens security.


If you’re scared about Microsoft tracking your UX engagement on a website, the best way to make sure your sex life stays private is to file it in federal court.


I’m shocked that the “antimalware software” is actually stealing user data and wasting a bunch of CPU cycles. Who could have ever imagined that?
