It is not "ICE agents" who are being doxxed. The correct term is "criminals whose defence of 'only following orders' will not save them".

The US is not safe for anyone. Not even professional white western males. We are at the last line of Niemöller's poem already.

I mostly stopped caring about the quality of stuff I don't have source code for some time in the last millennium. It's just fundamentally unfixable.

I don't know if it's greediness or just rampant incompetence. They just seem to have no engineering discipline at all. And no shame.

Apparently it's not normal to have an Intel NIC with AMD CPU, an AMD GPU with an Intel CPU, an Intel IOMMU with an AMD CPU. Or some such nonsense.

They just don't care. I'd be ashamed to be part of their engineering team. Windows guests happily initialise an Intel IOMMU and then feed it MSI messages constructed for an AMD IOMMU, and they claim it's not a bug, and ask for "business justification" for fixing it.

A few years ago I was in New Zealand and got 4am phone calls from MBNA on two *consecutive* nights asking if I wanted to do a balance transfer. Closed that card the moment I got home.

People who phone my mobile unsolicited will generally be greeted with the questions, "Where am I? What time is it for me right now?".
And when they don't know, I'll demand to know what was so urgent that they had to risk waking me at 3am instead of just sending email like a normal person.

True, they should have had an exemption like this from the start.

This part seems eminently sensible. Most people know to give assets to their family when they expect to live for another 7 years. If these rules are changing, it seems reasonable to grant an exemption to those who are statistically likely to have missed that chance.
