I think the reference is more about how much harder it is to prove a capitol case versus proving lesser charges. He may get off completely if the jury won’t convict.

Listen if you can teach yourself to set up Linux and keep it updated then you can run any kind of computer out there. You can’t get that level of abstraction from an android.

Also IT here. I also lead teams of university students it really comes down to experience and training. My CS and INFO students know how this stuff works.

Playing dead? Not sure I get the reference.

It is relatable when it’s your friends and family. When it’s your work, especially secure work, there are no excuses. It’s why organizations hire specialists to manage this sort of thing.

TLDR; these had built in musical synthesizers. Same sorts of chips you’d find in electronic keyboards. You don’t have to record the sound, just the instruction for the chip to play the sound you want.

I am surprised that you had to point that out, if I am honest. I’d have expected people who have reasoned opinions on China to understand that basic part of Chinese (or possibly Asian-at-large) culture.

The US suffers deeply from cultural narcissism where a significant number of people believe that their needs are more important than the needs of others.
