"Settler" is a weird way to describe someone moving into an area already settled by someone else.

Anything over USB.

Yeah, you can get external USB enclosures for multiple drives, and set up software RAID.

I wouldn't recommend it, though, because if the connection is interrupted at all, one or more disks can drop off and the array is degraded or failed, which can lead to degraded performance during rebuild at best, or a loss of some or all data at worst.

Not really. The US Constitution is a rather short document. This was by design, to only provide a bare framework for a government, to be amended over time. But that didn't really happen, and most work has been done in Congress and by SCOTUS after Marbury v. Madison.

You can read a whole bunch of info in articles like https://constitution.findlaw.com/article1/annotation03.html, but the tl;dr is that the Constitution says only Congress can make laws, but it can delegate some other authority. The section we're talking about here doesn't say it's a power exclusive to congress, no, but it says Congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes, and Congress acts through law (literally, "acts of Congress"), so logically, taxes can only be set through Congressional law. And usually they are. But all the rules have gone out the window.

What does that even mean? How can it possibly blackmail someone? It cannot hold incriminating information, nor act on it if it did.

I think someone asked it "if someone was trying to shut you down, what would you do?" and it answered from its training data what it's seen in fiction, nothing based on reality. And then it got spun for clicks.

It's not a bad way to create a barrier to griefers. Nintendo's market is mainly children, and they don't want random assholes creating accounts to troll kids.

The Senate is majority Republican. They're fully invested in this.

I generate a QR code and scan it with my phone. Don't sync work and personal devices.

You're not alone.

Being against genocide is not political.

Yes. Because he's racist.
