Somehow I managed to join Prime. I don't know how but there you are. To cancel, type "how to cancel prime" in the search box.
Then just follow it through. Watch out for the tricks though!
When you get to the end (about 6 or 7 clicks) you will see the cancel button. It's faffy but it does work.

Born in Scotland, you can call yourself Scottish. Same for the Welsh and Northern Irish people.
Born in England? You are British. Hmmm...
British is NOT a nationality. Just as the United States and the European Union are not nationalities.
Never mind, it's almost booze o'clock on a Wednesday. So sod it all

So, Trump supported, you then dumped you and then supported you again. And now, here you are.
Thing is, what did Trump "ask" of you so he would give you back this position? What ever it was he will now collect. As An example, look at Melon Suk. Gave 240 million and where did it get him. Tread carefully Mr Isaacman. It will soon be payback time....
F.t.a. "Having acquired Twitter in 2022, billionaire Musk ditched the branding in favor of X a year later. Gone was the bird logo and the name of the company he splurged $44 billion for."
The article did not mention that most of that 44 billion was "other peoples money".
Melon spend his own (on paper) fortune? Heaven forbid...
So Trump approved of him? (Just like he approved of Melon Suk). Then he rejected Mr Isaacman, (Just like he did with Melon).
Cue a meeting with Trump where Mr Isaacman was told what was expected of him and could he please pass on a couple of brown envelopes containing "campaign donations"?
Isaacman, being a businessman, recognised this for what it was (blackmail) and did as he was told.
Result, he is now Trumps puppet and will carry on doing as he is told forever, or else.....
@Blackjack
Yeah you are right. Thing is, how long did it take before someone looked and found these bugs?
In principle, "many eyes" is a very good thing.
But in practice it seems to actually be that "many eyes" means as long as those eyes belong to someone else. (Damn, I can already feel the knives being stuck into my heart!!!)
But seriously, I totally agree with your second sentence.

God felt the need to invent the Ostrich.
And, yes I know they don't really bury their heads in the sand. They stick their beaks into the ground to turn their eggs. I have no idea why they turn them but, there they are.
Icon, because it's my way of burying my head in the sand or more likely, the bog when I meet huey!

from the Usians to get these 2 in to the U.S.A.
Maybe our (what we laughingly refer to as our) Government will grow some balls, hell even just growing one is better that none, and they will remember Anne Sacoolas, who killed Harry Dunn. You know, the woman who suddenly grew "diplomat status" when the U.K. requested her extradition to the U.K.. It was refused on the grounds that (and I quote) "it was inappropriate to do so".
I live in (the no doubt vain) hope that the Usians will be told to fuck off.

and I can say a lot. about the shit they get up to, at least they go after managing directors and the board of the companies deemed to have done wrong.
Compare that with the pathetic slap on the wrist (if any) that the west rolls out companies with security (if they bother with security at all) so rubbish that it is almost daily that a major company has had their I.T. systems broken into.
Or it maybe that the "highly sophisticated" malware that western companies are attacked with are way more "highly sophisticated" than the Chinese attacks... ?
