Maybe you should highlight it with a red circle, because I still don't see it.

"there are only two drugs common in this area, fentanyl and methamphetamine, and she doesn’t show signs of either, so it’s my medical opinion that she simply drank too much.”
This is an unfathomably stupid statement to the point that I hope it's just something they misremembered the fireman as having said.
Someone that stupid shouldn't be operating a garden hose let alone talking to people in distress.
GHB is almost as common as meth in San Francisco, as is Ketamine.
GHB could definitely cause the described experience. Overdosing on it is horrendous and terrifying. I'm sad to hear that someone put her through this and that our city resources didn't listen to her.
I'm also baffled by the claim that doing a standard issue drug test would take too many resources, since we have a for profit medical system. She, or her insurance, would have been responsible for paying the full, inflated, cost of those test. It's also not a resource intensive test, and there are multiple potential ways to test for it.
The bigger issue in this situation is that GHB is processed in the body quickly, so if you're in this type of situation it is important to test sooner and not wait.

Anyway, this is just so bizarre to hear about in San Francisco.
The only part I'm not surprised by is the cops refusing to do their jobs. That is the San Francisco I know all too well, unfortunately.
I just expect more from our firefighters and emergency medical professionals. Especially about drugs for crying out loud.
This requires local access to do and presently an hour or two of uninterrupted processing time on the same cpu as the encryption algorithm.
So if you're like me, using an M-chip based device, you don't currently have to worry about this, and may never have to.
On the other hand, the thing you have to worry about has not been patched out of nearly any algorithm:
I know someone who got the snip pretty young because he and his wife didn't want kids. Years later friends of ours had kids and it changed their mind. He got it undone and they had a kid.
Seems like a minor thing to do and condoms are the worst.
I know I'm earning this downvoted spam, but...
This requires you to use enterprise-oriented features that blast you with warnings telling you not to do it. After you ignore those warnings they can install anything they want on your device.
This is basically sideloading for corporations.
And it is exactly an example of what will happen (and be quite common) if regular sideloading and alternative app stores with no Apple validation are forced on us.
It's a problem on Android, already. Banking apps disable themselves if your device is rooted due to malicious Trojans that exploit that feature to gain easy access to your data.
I tried to read the books this is based on and felt like I was being punked.
The writing in the first chapter, specifically around the dialogue of the man on the stage who is telling the story about his wife's father was so incredibly stilted that I couldn't get through it. It was unfathomably badly written dialogue that I can only imagine it's something lost in translation that triggers every pet peeve I have about dialogue.
And most people rave about the books. So this is probably a me problem more than anything. I just don't understand it.
So as long as they hired some writers to do a better job at the dialogue I might be one of those people who likes the show and not the books.
edit: dialogue
They showed up in their finest work attire, which took, likely, 3 or more hours to put on.
You know nothing of respect.
That's not a gotcha. It's literally what people want in iOS and already have an alternative available that they can choose.
Apple-bad people want to remove the choice.
Or they can buy iOS products and not Android ones?
...do you know what enforces all of that?
The App store...
Specifically it limits what APIs can and can't be used by apps and forces the use of entitlements to access features of the hardware.
Downvote if you want, but entitelements are part of the code signing process which this article is trying to avoid. And jailbroken apps already don't have the protections you're talking about.
It's not uncommon for people to datamine not public API all over Apple's frameworks and the only thing preventing the usage is App Store policies and static analysis tools.
Oh, Oooh. NOW I SEE IT!
