Kinda just sounds like the normal panic/fight-or-flight response that you might have if a cop was about to murder you for fun.

Depictions of autism in media very rarely focus on anything other than what's perceived as the upsides.
Like all other forms of entertainment and marketing, it's not realistic, it's designed to present something appealing to a mass audience.

I don't doubt that he was an accident

It would be so cool to have time and money to mess around with this bleeding edge stuff.

I thought it was a troll account at first, but it appears to be a legitimate user on closer inspection. They have some real shitty police bootlicking takes, but as they claim to be a white male in their sixties, that's not too unexpected for someone who is out of touch with problems that don't affect them personally. They have posted some strong support of the queer community before, and claim to be gay themselves, so perhaps they have enough empathy left to come around on this issue if someone has a thorough explainer on white privilege, late stage capitalism, and systemic racism.

It's gonna need to be someone more patient than me though. Good luck @tygerprints

Kinda sounds like a format similar to Stack Exchange might work

Why are you calling other people in this thread dumb for not reading the article when you haven't done the most basic amount of looking into it yourself?

Here is the sentencing memorandum from June (a few weeks prior to his sovcit outburst mentioned in the article, if I'm reading correctly) where the 21 day sentence was initially requested. It's reachable in two clicks from the article, and it describes in excruciating detail all of his participation in Jan 6, as well as the broader context around his social media posts.

He pleaded guilty to one of the four counts he was originally charged with, and the AP notes that over 400 Jan 6th defendants have done the same. It's unclear from the filing whether a plea agreement was offered; I would guess that it was, and that this is probably an effort to reduce the overall burden on the court system, because a) there are over 1200 individuals charges with crimes in connection with the events of Jan 6, and b) there is plenty of damning video evidence of most of it.

I thought I was old, but I've only even heard of the 3dfx 😳

Good rambling, would read again, 8/10

He's still getting less than four months. It should be a lot worse to reflect the severity of what he did.

If a malicious actor has physical access to your machine, you have already lost. Been that way since the dawn of computing. Full-disk encryption can potentially protect your data from unauthorized access, but it can't really stop a thief from wiping the laptop and making it their own. And if you get it back you probably want to wipe it anyway.
