Re: And the House just received Pres. Trump’s magnificent tax returns from the US Treasury - 1 year ago
QuoteSpeedy Democrats began the legal battle to get the tax returns after taking the House majority in 2019. It is unlikely that the records will be made public — generally, it is unlawful for the government to release tax documents about an individual taxpayer. But they can release a bullet-point summary, and they can introduce portions into the House floor-records which ARE public records.by Tiangou - 'Friendly' Political Ranting

Re: I ordered this SSD and now I am wondering if it will work with my Mac - 1 year ago
Not seeing the one about not being able to initialize due to security out of the box. A couple of people seem to have accidentally frozen/locked the SSDs either via a Windows BIOS setting or they ticked the wrong box when using a "secure erase" feature. The freeze or lock is a Windows thing and should not occur on a Mac, but it might already be in place if you receive an open-boxby Tiangou - Tips and Deals
