  • Our cat loves bedtime - it genuinely seems to be her favourite part of the day, even over mealtimes.

    If we don’t go to bed on time, she will come and yell/paw at us until we start getting up off the sofa. The bedtime routine starts with feeding her, but 9 times out of 10 she will ignore the food and run upstairs to wait for us.

    Once we’re settled in, she jumps on the bed and gets brushed. Then she waits for me to turn off the lamp before she will get up and go eat. It’s like she’s putting us to bed. She then comes back and spends most of the night with us.

    I’d think it’s obvious that downloading isn’t illegal in every case, otherwise you’d never be able to watch/listen to any media online.

    A differentiation is necessarily made between authorised and unauthorised downloads, such that buying and downloading an album on iTunes is legal while torrenting that same album is not.

    Music on YouTube is authorised via licensing. That’s why videos get routinely flagged for using copyrighted music without permission (and sometimes even with permission due to overzealous or malicious DMCA claims, but that’s a separate argument).

    The device was not an ordinary smartwatch made by Apple or Samsung, but a special type that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had mandated the woman wear at all times, allowing the agency to track her.

    So it’s a new kind of tracking bracelet, similar to the old ankle tags? Calling it a smartwatch seems slightly misleading, even if not technically inaccurate.
