Please respect Lemmy.world ToS. Don't plot who should be murdered next in this community.
To comply with jail regulations, she said, the laptop had to be sent to an outside technology vendor to disable its connections to the internet, printers and wireless networks — a process that took “many weeks to complete.”
lol. Weeks? MDC has restricted laptops specifically designed for this and several high profile cases in MDC recently got them. Diddy had one.
I for one would love to ask why removing a WiFi card takes weeks.
I would love to ask why they didnt have laptops without WiFi/BT in them in the first place.
This isnt exactly a jail in west bumblefuck. They have laptops for this purpose.
We all know exactly why.
someone please correct me on this but like aren't jails runned by states while prisons are federal? If so, then would that mean that regulations differ by jail or by state?
In regards to the laptop, maybe the vender has a backlog of machines to disable.
The point of brining up Diddy is was that he got a restricted laptop in MDC and Luigi is in MDC.
MDC should have this figured out. This smells like stalling.
Edit: also worth noting, most prisons have laptop and tablet platforms that are specifically for prisoners. The devices, the network, etc. It’s all an out of the box solution handled by a vendor, and it’s locked down from the jump. This should be like McDonald’s serving another hamburger. It’s a request for something that has been dumbed down and automated.
The feds have some facilities that are oriented around pretrial detention. MDC in Manhattan is one of them.
Jails are at the county/parish level. Prisons are either state or federal. He's being held in a federal facility.
I contract often, I'd say at least half or more of the places I start at take a month to onboard me for laptop(s) and necessary access.
So this doesn't surprise me.
It took 7 weeks for me to even get a laptop at one job, followed by 2 weeks before my access tickets were complete. I was paid the entire time. Insanity.
Yeah that has nothing to do with how long it actually takes to get the laptop and do the laptop. That is called a purchasing issue which this type of place doesn't have those same types of issues.
It does not take weeks to do this. These companies surely have a pre-configured disk image that they can load on to any computer that disables what needs to be disabled.
Despite this being something that could be done via any laptop and supervision, I they're almost certainly going to claim it needs to be one of the clear tamper-resistant prison-approved ones like anything they can keep in a cell.
Image is from a device someone bought on ebay and tampered with at their leisure.
That thing looks sick as fuck.
I had wondered about that but didn't think too much about it since the article didn't mention it. That would account for things if it were the case.
Me in 2005: "it took me two weeks to enable WiFi with Linux" Experts on 2025: "it takes us two weeks to disable WiFi on windows"
Another due process violation ... interesting.
Not sure an inmate is guaranteed a laptop under due process. But a judge did order it so!
How could they fuck this up so bad?! Are they trying for a mistrial?!
Yes, the judge ordering it turns it into a due possession violation. Not providing it damages the ability to raise a defense.
Gotta keep vigilant with that tracking number
I smell something that rhymes with piss-vial
He will get out if he just sucks off trunp
He will get out if he let Trump suck him off
FIXED
They've already decided he's guilty. They're just waiting for social medial to calm down.
