Your second point is their point. Building this wall will mean a shitload of work for surveyors, and mean that everything is cataloged perfectly. Which means people find that, wait, actually, that huge mansion you built *is* in Mexico, sorry, wall goes through here.

It was a few pages back but on that Australian story about them suing Apple. I don't really understand how Apple is at fault. Code 53 shows up when a screen or any other item in the chain for security for your Touch ID, etc, and the rest of the chain isn't replaced. Yeah it's a big hit for self-repair but it's not like Code 53 is JUST happening because a screen got replaced.

Yeah it's a big hit for self-repair but it's not like Code 53 is JUST happening because a screen got replaced. Apple is at fault because they breached the Australian Consumer Law. In Australia, if a company sells someone a defective product, or if a defect appears 'within a reasonable time' they must refund (or at least replace) by law, no matter what the fine print on the contract says. It also helps that the Gov't, and not the company gets to decide what is a reasonable time so it's usually quite generous (my smart TV is guaranteed by law for about 4 years). It's a legislated warranty and it can't be voided in any way by any company's terms and conditions. The Australian Govt sued Valve a couple of years ago over this law and won. As a result Valve was forced to lift their 'no refunds ever for anything policy' so the law definitely has teeth.

I don't think that will be much of a problem in Texas considering the border is a fairly obvious river. Also have you ever seen a mansion built directly on the border? The problem is more that the wall will be built an arbitrary distance from the actual line and will exclude a strip of the US.

Alereon posted:This isn't really the thread for a debate, but to clarify since it's been discussed a bunch: this has nothing to do with consumer rights, the Australian government is trying to force Apple to insert a backdoor into their security chain that will allow the government to connect a compromised Touch ID sensor and break into locked iPhones. If the goal was to benefit consumers you'd see Apple be required to repair devices for free, not be required to allow the device to work when the security chain is broken. Also kind of interesting that this is coming up considering they stopped that error from happening a few months back.

Look, if your house is on the Mexico side of Trump's wall but still legally "part of the US", how are you going to feel about it? Odds are, not too good. Legal don't mean poo poo when there's a wall in your way.

Yeah, it was a one-time fluke with a certain update, apparently that error is supposed to go off during initial testing if something is screwed up. But right now, if you have a damaged or replaced Touch ID sensor, all you get is an "Unable to activate Touch ID" error when you start up the phone. It works normally otherwise. And didn't they refund everyone that had to do an exchange when Error 53 was a thing anyway?

Umm... the border wall is like 5 feet from the actual border. Too bad they bought land in literal mexico. Also, this has to be in El Paso, where I live and the only place in Texas where the border isn't a literal river, and there is no mention of it here. So the story is fake. Sorry. Edit: I stand corrected. All of Texas's border with Mexico is a river. So, no this story is super fake. Two Feet From Bread has a new favorite as of 22:27 on Apr 8, 2017 |

It’s not like your backyard fence. It can be thousands of feet from the actual border.

If the border wall is five feet from the border, which is the middle of a river (except in El Paso) then you may be incorrect in your assessment that the story is "fake." According to your own claims and logic, anyway. Sorry for your delusion. Not that I would feel any sympathy for a trump voter having their poo poo disappeared.

And the home owners would still have to have access through the fence to the US side. unless the US literally purchased the land from them. But then the home owners would still not have property on the 'mexico' side because the US bought it from them. The story is literally fake. It can't happen. So saying that it happened or could happen is a lie.

Rivers do shift around some too, though I doubt anyone would be stupid enough to build right on the floodplain. http://www.clui.org/section/united-divide-a-linear-portrait-usacanada-border I got that link off the forum a year ago or so. It's a really cool photo series about the interesting parts of the US-Canada border. There's a part where some stream had shifted off the border far enough that the locals were unknowingly farming the wrong side of the border. I imagine the southern border will be surveyed just as precisely, except with bulldozers.
