FTX inner circle helped itself to $3.2B, liquidators say

Shocked, I tell you, shocked. Well, not really.

UK.gov bans TikTok from its devices as a 'precaution' over spying fears

"Who INSTALLS tiktok anyway?" Teenagers, paedophiles, priests and Tory MPS?

Re: Them or Us? Please Explain!!

"Backhanders from oligarchs that didn't happen" Getting pissed for a weekend with the KGB and ennobling their offspring? Then all the "donations" Tory party.

Re: Them or Us? Please Explain!!

The ones who downvote you obviously believe having an effectively non-existent RN actually means Britannia Rules. "Cosw The Daily Heil.

The ones who downvote you obviously believe the USA doesn't spy on anyone friendly.

And just tio realy piuss them off they are pretty well guaranteed toi Brexiteers who worship Medieval Mogg and the ERG.

Re: Seems sensible

"I think the word you're looking for is xenophobic" with a large dose of racism for added flavour. Hello MSG.

Re: 冰山一角

"these MPs just going "yeah alright" to the permissions - these fuckers clearly have no idea regarding devices security"? My dealings with various departments of the UK gov proves no-one at any level has a clue about anything to do with things to do with comms or the interwebs. Not. A. Clue.

NASA wants a telescope on the far side of the Moon

Re: It truly boggles my mind...

Dear godbotherers, thank you for proving me correct. Putin the Murderer is one. The Christofascists are destroying the USA. Then look at Bolsonaro and most of the problems in Africa and MENA. Pakistanls not to good either and India is going fascist too,

How may have been killed over the centuries?

Didnlt the PRC propose doing this this some time back?

Re: Telescope on the Moon?

Don't encourage the 'Flat Earth Cult et al ffs.

" 5G chips in our vaccines" And MTG's Jewish lasers

Re: It truly boggles my mind...

" isn't some sort of infection running rampant on Earth?" Godbothereing?

UK refreshes national security plan to stop more of China's secret-stealing cyber-tricks

Re: McCarthyism 2.0

"If the narrative that you want doesn't exist ... make it up!": Which is how the GQP and Tories operate. It's fow IQ45 "won" inb 2016 and the3 GOP has functioned ever since,

Their corruption perfectly exposed today by "G.O.P. leaders are declining to enforce a court-supervised settlement for Mazars, Donald J. Trump’s former accounting firm, to turn over records in an investigation into whether he profited from the presidency."

And "Trump’s Truth Social reportedly kept afloat by $8 million of illicitly laundered Russian money with connections to Putin"

Re: Having Said That

"we must ensure the security services do not overreach:" Bit late for that.

Re: Did It Ever Occur To You

"The only reason you can roam freely throughout your nation" Which country is that? In the USA they say ACAB and in the UK the rozzers aren't too popular either.

Re: Fortnums.....good for more than tea and cakes!!!!!

Bless.

Funny that the French and Chinese were paid to build our nuclear power plants as they have the tech and expertise.

Re: Fortnums.....good for more than tea and cakes!!!!!

Lot's of good shipyards in the PRC, where most ships are built nowadays. And for sophisticated high tech stuff the EU is best, or Nihon, and the PRC isn't far behind.

"the proposed submarines for Australia?" France has a couple of good yards for those.

Re: Encryption

It's "Hey Rish!"

Re: A bit selective..

"the US and UK are on the same side". Well, sort of, in that the UK has made itself beholden to the USA. Time to apologise to the EU and ask for our toys to be put back in the pram.

The US would sooner see TSMC fabs burn than let China have them

Re: Isn't that their plan?

"bad and self serving as the US can be, they are not only the least worst option" That depends entirely on where one lives. Most countries / people don't trust the USA, or the UK for that matter, for obvious reasons. It's also obvious why the US refuses to accept the ICC.

Re: I am a Rock; I am an Islaaaaannnnnnd

"If the PRC successfully invades Taiwan"; The operative word being if.

Interesting that the USA has major domestic problems, really major, with a high %age of people also believing Putin's and traitorous IQ45's lies so it's no surprise that Biden is sabre rattling to divert attention away from internal strife. Worked for Maggie.

Re: Isn't that their plan?

It isn't as if the USA doesn't have a track record in destabilising or invading countries for its selfish interests, is it /S

In the early 60s when working in Chile I didn't understand why the Chilenos were so paranoid about the CIA, then Thatchers chum Pinochet led the CIA controlled military coup. Now I know the true extent of US perfidy since WWII starting with the 1949 Syrian coup d'état.

Watch Reg vultures wrap their heads around Silicon Valley Bank collapse

"UK governments were quick to clean up the mess." By giving it to the HSBC to make a massive profit rather than nationalising it and making some money to reduce the tax burden.

"sent shockwaves through the tech industry," About something that was inevitable after safety rules were were dropped by the Tangerine Nightmare.

"Can we blame social media for this?" According to James Comer. GOP House Oversight chair, who supports treason and opposes democracy, it is the result of the bank's officers being woke and not having 12 white male directors, so yes, social media must be to blame.

British industry calls for regulation of autonomous vehicles

Seems unlikely while we have governments led by donkeys and godbotherers.

"At least the British are forward-looking". LOL. Which is why we left the EU, why the currency has been depreciating for a long time, why the economy is going south and so on.

Re: We do not want "British" regulations

"only interested in ensuring corporate profits." Therefore Bre4xit and pandering to Septicland.

Re: We do not want "British" regulations

"Common standards are good, not something that the Brexit brigade understands." or their apologists, who you have upset. Am I surprised? Not at all. The main problem is that the UK refuses to co-operate in favour of perfidy.

Re: We do not want "British" regulations

"Just accept for the moment that an overall framework to catch all with detail on each area following is better than splintered regulations" You obviouisly donlt kniow many MPs , especially of the Tory flavour. The UK is still not properly metric ffs.

The UK's bad encryption law can't withstand global contempt

Re: One rule for them, another for the rest of us.

"The sad thing is that there are people who actually would agree to all this " Indeed, they're called Tories - the ones Lineker exposed for what they are.

Re: One rule for them, another for the rest of us.

No, you're confusing minor public schools, which are little different from state schools, with the real public schools. Also, many parents who pay for minor public schools abhor facts - my sister was one such.

Re: One rule for them, another for the rest of us.

""don't tell me what will change my mind"." Which applies to most right wing establishments and beliefs.

Re: One rule for them, another for the rest of us.

"Some of us who went to public schools studied maths and physics". Obviously not one favoured by the self appointed ruling class.

Re: One rule for them, another for the rest of us.

"Jack Straw, is using Britain's six-month EU presidency to raise awareness of the task facing law enforcement agencies on the Internet. " So it was the UK then. OK.

Re: One rule for them, another for the rest of us.

"It is always because of the EU, and has been so since 1972" Thank you Mr ERG Troll.

Re: One rule for them, another for the rest of us.

"I'm not sure about the part blaming the EU for it though" Some people blame the EU for everything!

Re: One rule for them, another for the rest of us.

Jack Straw was an honest person when he was younger. I don;t know what corrupted him. Was it power?

Re: One rule for them, another for the rest of us.

"Tory MP foaming at the mouth complaining that Lineker should be sacked"

For the simple reason that Lineker correctly pointed out that the present Tory government is comprised of fascists and they don't like being outed for what they are, just like their MAGA counterparts.

"the Tories want to remain in power at all costs," Indeed, and they believe that promoting fascism will achieve this, because it worked with the Farage Gammon.

"something that is “Not Shit”." This lot are total shite, so no chance.

Singapore software maker says own hardware in colo costs $400M less than cloud

Re: Doubtful

"Generally speaking the Singapore company is most likely immature" Yes dear, now please take your meds and have a lie down.

What does "Generally speaking" even mean in the context?

Re: Why are these people in charge?

"(I should have read to the end)."

Seriously? Why let the facts get in the way of bigotry?

"My customers are" seriously stupid, which is why they use me.

Re: Why are these people in charge?

"I wonder which cloud provider employs you?" Indeed, that propaganda read like a Don Jr. spiel praising his daddy after a good hit of Peruvian shouting powder.

Re: Why are these people in charge?

"And then there is" the mandatory Amazon fangurl. "I could go on, but" I was laughing too much!

Beijing's done its sums and found a billion netizens watching short video services

Douyin analog TikTok perhaps?

Ex-Tweep mocked by Musk for asking if he'd actually been fired

"what does the CEO of Twitter do besides tweeting?" Commiserate with IQ 45 and sulk?

Re: What a Cretin.

Re: What a Cretin.

"Court said that’s totally fine." Well, gullible Septic jurors did. Itz mah freeze peech.

Re: What a Cretin.

"because YOUR managers didn't communicate things correctly." Didn't communicate anything.

And more to the the point who was it who is responsible for all the blockings and firings? One person amd one person only. Lying Leon.
