Larry Ellison is still not the world's richest person

Not to worry ..

He's going to increase prices and lower comissions ( if he dosen't weasel out of them completely ) and achieve his goal shortly.

Oh , you use Oracle products / services ? Sorry :D :D :D :D

NASA to silence Voyager's social media accounts

No tears children ..

It's all part of the dismantling of the state and it's agencies the people voted for. That's their country and their mess. Too bad for them. I got no sympathy left. Time to head out and get drunk.

Trump guts digital ID rules, claims they help 'illegal aliens' commit fraud

Stupid we all agree ...

but there were people,a lot of them , that actually voted for that sinister clown and his circus. He was elected President. Americans voted for this. Not all , granted , but a majority. The rest , we can kick and scream at the idiot all we care to , but he's elected President and there's not much Americans can do about it except do what the French did a long time ago : take him and his circus to a guillottine and get rid of him. For the rest of the folks ( I'm Canadian so i include myself ) around the world , the only thing we can do is shake our heads and let the USA sink all it wants to. We should not interfere , we had warned them on all the tribunes about what was to come , they didn't listen , so let them bathe in the cesspool they created. I got no sympathy left for Americans because they're not moving against their dictator. Once they really start to move , maybe ill change my mind , but until then , let them enjoy the circus they voted for and hopefully that will be a lesson they will actually learn something from. Trump is incompetent in all aspects of life. There's nothing he's good at except blame the others for his fails. Get rid of him , until then :P enjoy your circus.

Texas warns 300,000 crash reports siphoned via compromised user account

4150 deaths on the roads .. 960 were due to drinking alcohol or about 25% ( roughly ) of the total .. That means that in Texas , 75% of fatal accidents were caused by water drinkers. Therefore i make a propopsal to Governor Abbott to outlaw water drinking and driving in Texas. The numbers speak for themselves. That law will save countless lives. Ban water drinking and driving ! ..

The applications are not there , routing is not there , hardware recognition and use is not there .. if you got one soundcard it may work , but with external interfaces ( Focusrite 18i21) it just dosent work yet. Maybe in a few years it may be .. but for now PW is junk if you got serious audio work to do.

Trump trade policy to cost Nvidia $10.5B in lost H20 GPU revenues

Bah !

What did you expect from Trump except to loose money ? He went bankrupt 6 times and working on his masterpiece : bankrupting the whole USA. That's ok .. people voted him in and now are facing the consequences. Come next election , hopefully , they will kick out the hole circus and put an end to this sinister farce.

China accuses Taiwan of running five feeble APT gangs, with US help

Not a first.

The USA used all kinds of tactics through history, Deception is one of them. The UFO situation where authorities deceived their own employees is fresh to mind. Whenever intel is mixed in , false flag ops have always existed. Transmitters spewing false messages to confuse the enemy and make it waste it's time . even attacking themselves by jamming their own signals to further confuse everyone was common. That the USA are hacking themselves to look like victims and falsely accuse is par for the course. Deception is nothing new.

Musk and Trump take slap fight public as bromance ends

The squirrel.

This shamefull display is to take the people's attention off the budget which is a catastrophe. Simple. They're back to the old tactics of distracting people from the important matters with trivialities. The people living in the USA are getting it the backside and should have expected it to be so when they voted but the memory of Americans is really short. Remembering the last Trump disaster , they should have voted for anyone but him , but no. Trump is just a bully that knows nothing about economics or international relations or politics. I hope Americans will wake up come midterms and put an end to the circus running the USA. Meanwhile , the rest of ther planet is just wondering why the hell you let that circus go on and not drag the clowns out ti a conveniently located guillottine and put an end to this sinister farce of a government.

GlobalFoundries commits $3B more to US fabs in Trump tariff flex

Everytime ..

someone gives his lunch money to a bully it encourages the bully and more bullies to do the same. Trump is an abomination. We all know , he's the worst diplomat ever. We all know he's always lying and TACO. He's mentally challenged and everyday if anyone listens to him more than 5 seconds we can all see he's lost his mind completely. Other people are pulling the strings in the background and these people at the moment play the cards the worst way possible for the world economy. But Trump and his syndicate don't care about anyone but Trump . They're narcissists and do not understand a few world economy and diplomacy basics. " Hey , I am MR Big , the big deal maker , i am the biggest , the best , best ever " meanwhile in the shadows he's cutting medicare and access to basic medecine to millions , even his senators are going " we all got to die of something " as justification to cut medical help. Food stamps for the needy , the people in trouble , access to abortion cut off in case a Mom needs a lifesaving emergency adoption. No more , they can all die .. " hey , no problem : we all got to die of something " That's their level . That's how low they are sinking. Even Musk is turning his back on his old boss and saying the budget is bad. Politics are bad , economy is bad and the situation on the ground is appalling .. and oh yes his new nomination to the head of FEMA ( federal emergency management ) was surprised to know there's a hurricane season. Going on and on .. Please read the papers coming from the USA .. this deal is a farce. It's a squirrel to take the attention away of what really goes on. Couple billions is nothing in the semiconductor world and should not be seen as a major gain when countless millions are left to die without reasons other than to finance his tax breaks for the ultra rich. Really .. this is a fart in the ocean. Trump remains and wiull remain the worst president in the history of the USA. His legacy is one of death and destruction. Noone should give in to the bully , he's making an example to others " hey X gave me their lunch money , you will too " Time to leave the USA to rot in their cess pool. Maybe next election they will be bothered to go out and vote him out. Until then , making deals with Trump or the USA should be off the table for everyone. It's doing the US citizens a favor.

American science put on starvation diet

Their problem.

They voted for Trump and they got their very own pig pond now . He was there supposedly to drain the swamp but everyday he's expanding it with added stenches the likes we never smelled on the planet. If the science in the USA folds on itself and disappears into Trump's black hole i got no sympathy whatsoever. Next elections , maybe they will learn , maybe , just maybe , they will go out and vote the republicans out of office. Their appetite for misery seems endless. They keep repeating the same mistakes every few elections and vote for republicans who make a mess out of things and their lives everytime a little bit more miserable. .

Remembering John Young, co-founder of web archive Cryptome

Been there , done that , got the t-shirt

It was my favourite site for years. Going a few times a week to see what was new. I read tons of documents. The man opened my eyes and ill always be thankfull to him . I still have a folder full of documents i gathered from his site. Rather naively , i was keeping copies of everything i could download from a dial-up at the time , in case the site got shut down. The man was right. We were better off knowing even if it meant teeing off governments who prefer sheepish uninformed peasants. Thank you Sir. Good job. Time to rest and have a pint. Cheers John.

UK 'extremely dependent' on US for space security

Best option.

Best option all around. If you can do without them , do so. If you can't work out new ways that don't include them. You can't rely on the Trump circus for anytthing. If security is concerned , would it be only your goldfish in a bowl on your shelf , don't trust the USA they will stab you in the back first chance they get. Really , a world without the US center stage is a worlf going in the right direction.

Trump announces $175B for Golden Dome defense shield over America

BTW as usual ..

We didn't ask .. we showed interest which is like all things more Trump lying through his teeth. He's trying to have people believe he's such aa super fine dealmaker .. always remember .. he was so great in making deals he bankrupted 6 times. One of which a CASINO ffs. The world will be a better place the day God silences him forever.

Microsoft facing multibillion legal claim over how it sells software

Gosh

I'm so glad to have switched to Linux 22 years ago and avoided so much problems and trouble. I was tired of paying and paying for this , that. Viruses trojans rootkits .. at some point sometone told me " try linux " Yeah there WAS a steep learning curve but it paid off in the long run. Now using Linux is as simple as using windows. if not simpler. There's good software for everything and by helping in return certain projects , i feel perfectly fine using it being poart of the FOSS community. One day , try it , a live on a USB key . THat may be the day where you tell MS to kiss your behind goodbye and do yourself a favor.

As US vuln-tracking falters, EU enters with its own security bug database

The less we rely on Americans the better off we are. Americans are too unstable and unpredictable in important matters to deserve trust. I know it was an old institution ( sort of ) but with the whole of the USA being dismanteled we got to look elsewhere for a way forward and progress.

Oregon State University's Open Source Lab is running on fumes

Morale of the story.

Don't count on the USA. Period. Their signature is meaningless , without any valuie or guarantee. It's run by a 6 times bankrupt wanna be dictator that has no idea what he's doing.As far as incompetent goes he's way up there Putin wouldn't have done a better job dismantling the USA piece by piece to destroy the American way of life and it's economy. LEaving them out of any plans the rest of the world makes is the right decision. Not buying American tech or services or any of their products is the rigfht idea. Why reward them for the harm they do to every country in the world ? Putting them on ignore and doing business with anyone but them is the right decision.

Microsoft gets twitchy over talk of Europe's tech independence

Trust ?

Trust Americans ? With the lot in power noone in their right minds will trust Americans , companies or government. Trust , once lost , is gone forever. You can forgive but never forget. It will always live in your mind , back there , suspicion will be forever. Best thing to do is let go of them and their products. Microsoft cannot guarantee anything. They try not to loose customers and make promises because the trust we had in the USA is gone. For good reasons. Time to let go , time to cut the umbelical and develop our own software and infrastructure. Investing as much in local solutions is going to be beneficial to our economy and not the USA's. That's a good thing. Too bad for them. They voted for that clown and his circus again. They need to learn their lesson and that's through their wallets .. it's the only thing Americans understand. The best way to hurt an American is closing our wallets. Time to fight back.

Trump admin freaks out over mere suggestion Amazon was going to show tariff impact on prices

Re: Probes

What is interresting is that to his supporters Trump can do no harm , even when he's chased by the courts alal over for his illegal doings. MAGA's God can do no harm in their minds. All of a sudden to realise Trump is lying to them , breaks the law or uses the Justice department to go after the people who's job it is to jail criminals , it's too big for them to admit. Their god failed them. Poor men . I am dang glad not to live in the USA. It's full of people that have been brainwashed and for which Trump is a god that cannot fail . He failed , he lied and the beliefs of his followers are based on lies and disinformation. They need to seek professional help. They cannot admit their god is a false god. They been had.

Caving in

That's what Bezos does best. The Washington Post , instructed to do so by Bezos himself , caved in and refused to take a stand during the last election loosing tens of thousands of subscribers a day for a few weeks .. That's what Bezos does , he caves in. You can bet he caved in again and kissed Trump's " ring " again on this one. Doing the reasonable thing and standing up to a dictator is way past Jeff's abilities. We all know Americans are paying the price for electing a known criminal and 6 times bankrupt senile old wanna be dictator. The USA is so screwed .. their vote , their call. Enjoy the next 4 years.

Circus

Yet they have 4 more years to keep the massacre , i mean the fine work making " America First " , going.

What to do once your Surface Hub v1 becomes an 84-inch, $22K paperweight

18 hours.

There won't be much use for it. Got to be shut down at least 6 hours a day , 18 hours on 6 off .. So wherever it is , there's limits on use. It's a paperweight or doorstop to start with. I never seen one. Never seen anyone nor talked to anyone who has one. If they all end in the scrapyard .. so be it. At 22K USD for the base model , it certainly will make a few fellas mad but eh .. That's par for the course with MS products.

Self-driving car maker Musk's DOGE rocks up at self-driving car watchdog, cuts staff

The only happy guys about this mess are the ones sitting in Moscow laughing their rear ends off. Ill get the heck out of here and have a pint. Enjoy the weekend.

As CISA braces for more cuts, threat intel sharing takes a hit

Leave em alone ..

That country is dying from self inflicted wounds and it's better to just let them disappear and change our ways to totally eliminate them from our commercial and diplomatic relationships. Their signature on accords and treaties is worth zit like we seen the past 4 months so .. off they go down the drain and we keep going without them.

Leave them alone , they're no longer world leaders and no longer relevant. We're better off without them.

Canada OKs construction of first licensed teeny atomic reactor

No way !

Anything that relies on the USA for parts / assemblies / fuel or anything related , even the companies involved is a no go to me. That we should be dependent on the good will of a child president is unacceptable. That project needs to be scrapped. 0 confidence in the politics of the USA and tariffs make the project costs skyrocket. Bad decision to go ahead.

Trump doubles down, vows to make Chinese imports even more expensive for Americans

Re: Let me tell you a few things

The deal we had .. Canada USA Mexico was of course a deal made by Trump and signed by him . " Worst deal ever " .. Well .. The main point to us Canadians is not the content of the deal , it's the fact that Trump's signature is worthless and meaningless. We can't trust the USA's signature on documents. As soon as they like they simply scrap the agreements and tell us " we want a new deal we're being screwed " Well tough .. They're the ones who signed. Must have been good for them at the time , right ? How can we trust anytrhing negotiated and signed ? There's no way. Trust is gone and will take decades if ever to build back. Being threatened of annexation was not a good idea either . There's never been as much recruitment for the Canadian armed forces as now. The American products are left on shelves to rot and unsold. These are self inflicted wounds by a criminal , feeble minded and suffering from obvious mental problems , now head of a nation. Congress will never vote to have him removed like he should be. They prefer to let the people of the US suffer , doing otherwise would make them easy targets for his faithfull followers. The USA as we used to know them are finished. Kaput , gone , dead like a dead parrot .. it is no more. Best is to put the USA on ignore and work relentlessly in making our lives and countries as USA free as possible. Buying anything but US made products is a start. Selling to anyone but Americans is the right idea also.Their signature on contracts is as good as used toilet paper. They elected him , let them deal with it internally , meanwhile we work on freeing ourselves by leaving US products on shelves and pumping money in our own economic growth and not theirs. Leaving them in their own filth is what they deserve.No sympathy here. Message to Americans : you don't like what your country has become ? Revolt and throw the bums out.Until you do , we carry on without you.

EU may target US tech giants in tariff response

A good lesson ..

Americans and particularly Trump need to be thaught a lesson. He dosen't care about the economy of his own country.

Well fellas .. i , for one , will never , wherever possible , buy an American product ever the hell again.

We do so , in Canada , about every product on store shelves. If it's not Canadian or elsewhere than the USA we leave them on their shelves.

Digital services ? We do the same wherever possible. Bye bye subscriptions for the past 3 months and i survive very well ..

We need to get the USA back into it's rightfull place and not as a leader of the free world.

They are hard at work to tank the world's economy and we should retaliate by stopping to invest , spend , visit on all and any American made product.

Really .. they can bankrupt their whole country and i couldn't care less about them. They voted for this , time to face your choices America.

Americans set to pay more on all imports: Trump activates blanket tariffs

Self inflicted wounds ..

Great show Donnie boy .,. soon you'll have a new milestone in your portfolio : bankrupting the whole bloody USA.

Reality is

If you want things to improve , get rid of Trump. Captain Bankruptcy has flipped his lid and needs a long rest in a psychiatric clinic .

Too bad for Americans .. but they got what they voted for.
