My crap comment because I can't remember the details, but I think its similar when UK asked for snooping for something similar and said it wouldn't be abused for general snooping, only terrorist snooping. Then they started to abuse it for general snooping.
At the end of the day, all "terrorists" will do is find their own custom encrpytion.
Jesus you really are as clueless as Trump. Sit back and let Russia take Ukraine. What will happen do you think? Do you think they may possibly use all those resources and move into Poland next and other European countries. China will also want land so will then end up attempting to attack Russia for some or agree to be gifted some land. So lets assume Russia and China now own Europe. They won't stop there, next they WILL eye up America. Who will America trade with when there is no one left to trade. Russia won't need their goods as they'll have all the resources of Europe. That is the issue.
Have you not read about World War 2 or are you just a maga fuck whit?
That he wants to essentially, annex Canada. Claiming he won't remove the tarriff until they become the 51st state, which is clearly NEVER going to happen. And its clear he wants this so he can then stop them arming Ukraine because, again, he's a Putin puppet.
Been drinking the Kool-aid I see.
"Or even for the brain cancer survivor?"
Have you done research? No? "Republicans quietly removed funding for pediatric cancer research through 2033 from a temporary funding bill" so took away funding for that kids cancer treatment.
All of MAGA really are lost and brain dead.
Once hamburglar crushs orange tango man's heart, and it can't come sooner, they'll all be voted out, no one will forget what they've done. south african hitler not being elected, firing FAA officials who were investigating Space X for safety violations. Then cancelling a FAA air traffic control contract with Verizon and giving it to, oh look, Space X.
Bent beyond all bentness.
Both are MASSIVE cunts.
In local gov its always a bullshit tender process where the cheapest bidder wins. So the big companies can undercut everyone to win the contracts. Smaller companies never have a chance. They may have gone in low to try and get the contract then realised it was a mistake after.
You can still have free but also get paid and have privacy. Look at FUTOs model. They are making open source apps, such as grayjay yet, if you can, request you pay. If you can't, you still get to use full features for free.
They are clearly good as I'm as tight as anything yet I've paid for FUTOs software. Both grayjay and the keyboard for Android.
Alot of us knew this. Over on the selfhosting subreddit, you'll get the odd person ask if they can make money renting out their selfhosting and some on the datahoarder have mentioned it. Answer is always no. Because you then need to hire lawyers, put in redundancy, proper backups and proper user contracts.
Because most people that did trumps bidding were guilty of a crime. They all thought nothing would ever happen to them, as Michael Cohen explained, but once he has no use for you anymore, he'll let anything happen to you as he doesn't care about anyone but himself and banging, I mean, looking after his daughter.
I think one area here that is wrong, China won't hire them. China has been copying tech for years like they did their jet fighter. The issue here is, orange tango man, gutting what he is gutting is going to make America's computer security and network security a lot weaker. So China will have a MUCH easier time to break in and steal the blueprints as they've been doing for years.
Sadly, with the CCP involved, China doesn't invent anything anymore. It steals and copies.
No they can't cancel the pardons, that's the point of them and was the reason Biden did all his. Doesn't mean anyone Biden pardoned was guilty, he just knew orange tango man is a spiteful cunt so would chase all those he didn't pardon. He'll attempt to tie them up in court to bankrupt them. Its what he's done for years in his business'. Doesn't pay and people don't take it to court as he just drags the court process out until they give up or go bankrupt.
Well not really, orange tango man is just nuts and does everything for money. He used to moan about big tech, but now south african hitler has bought a president, tango man will do anything he says as long as it makes them both money. I'm waiting for the moment tango man dumps sf hitler, like he dumps everyone that he no longer needs. Then watch it all blow up as sf hitler tries to destroy the tango man and vis versa.
Whats wrong with writers currently? Orange tango man and the Thunderbirds reject (jd vance) claim free speech, so surely you can give your opinion.
And that opinion would be "south african hitler appears to be cutting NASA jobs so he can either steal the engineers by hiring them at spacex or he's just cutting NASA so they will, for years, need ro rely on spacex. Because its funny that in all this cost cutting, south african hitler hasn't cut any funding his companies receive."
And the fact tango man attempted to sign an order the other day that states only him and the doj can state what laws are to be followed, is a MASSIVE step into dictatorship. Someone in power needs to stop the fucking orange mad man.
My programming is shit, the almost none that I do. When in college in the 90s I enjoyed programming, but, was sadly shit, struggled with the logic. A lottery number picker I made in Pascal I had a leacture look at. My loop that was about a page long, he made one into a few lines, I could see it after that. But then when another logic problem came up and the maths, my brain hurts.
By time I did a year in Uni I was bored of programming. I just wasn't getting it but I remember we did C++ which seemed good. Roll on a few years ago and I discover CS50 with David Malan who is an amazing teacher. But the course did C as a start then you move along different languages. Fucking 'ell C appears annoyingly complicated. I saw why C++ appeared so much better.
So not being a programmer, maybe C does need to go? And surely all those C experts can make a fortune being "consultants" when companies struggle to find good C programmers to maintain legacy software.
It may have changed since I last used Avaya several years ago now, but their user database is as insecure as leaving your door wide open. They don't encrypt the database so the user passwords are stored in plan text. Sign in as admin, change the password field in whatever browser you're in to text and you reveal that persons password. Why is this an issue? Because as I'd talk to users, some would confess of using the same password as their Windows login. Anyone that gets into the database would have fun with that.
Was bullshit as it was. Even some celebs got suckered into the hype such as that ex rugby player. If you're going to go into a field to try and advertise it and make money, understand the tech first instead of listening to the bullshitters that suckered him in. James Haskell is who that is "5G could of made me a better rugby player", what the actual fuck does that even mean!
We have a very odd issue with 5G in one area around these parts. You'll go to this small shopping area, get 5G but nothing works while on it. Move down the road abit and 5G goes and back to 4G where everything works. Its very odd. Only happens in this one area. 5G by the local large M&S works fine.
Our infrastructure in the UK is shockingly shit. When I can get better 5G coverage and even better 4G coverage when I go to Europe than I can in the UK. Went on a cruise to the Christmas markets, all those EU cities full signal. Get back to the UK, struggle with 4G in the house!
Vodafone and Three are the shittest for coverage. I take the dog for a walk past a massive mobile mast side of the farmers fields. 4G is full but no ones bothered to install a 5G on it or next to it.
Considering the orange idiots admin will be giving all intelligence over to Russia anyway. So while they are in office, doubt anyone will want to share anything with them.
Roll on midterms, lets hope they all get voted out. But sadly, they'll try everything in the book to steal it. I don't believe orange tango man stole 2024, it was purely a large chunk of Americans being idiots and voting for him. But the midterms, I really think orange man will try whatever he can do hold all the seats. After all, he'll want his sons to take over the role once hamburgerly crushes his heart and his 6 feet under.
A nice way for sonicwall to get people to upgrade. As the pricks don't give access to any firmware updates unless you have a license. And if you remove a device and upgrade, you still can't get the updated firmware for the old device.
And the bullshit that is cyber essentials doesn't allow you to use any open source software or hardware. Although person who told me that I think is wrong.
The AI, which isn't really AI, is a bubble waiting to burst but also will cause deaths. People are relying on it too much to "summarise" e-mails.
One day, at the DWP, it will summarise an e-mail from a resident that is attempting to claim benefits. It will miss out that "Jane Doe is very vulnerable and needs help. If she doesn't get it, she will die". So the lazy person who had the e-mail summarised for them, won't double check the result, file it and Jane will die.
It already started at the DWP I believe it was, when they set AI up to decide peoples benefits. They had to turn it off as it just kept saying no to pretty much everyone. Appears they are rolling it out again.
If you know anything about specification gaming with AI. If it has to get Jane Doe from A to B quickly then it will just decide to launch her there and after say "You never said she still had to be alive when she got to point B".
Yep. I think they get other benefits as well and I never knew its the country themselves that can declare themselves "developing" and oddly, no one bothers to tell China "No you're fucking not, so no you can't have those benefits". I'm assuming they let them get away with it because they are ordering the cheap shit.
"Does DOGE have what it takes to actually tackle billions in US govt IT spending?"
NO. That's a big fat NO!
The south african nazis is purely in it to enrich himself and do favours for mates. Given the roll because he bought a president. Just look at China and the CCP with their corrupt Belt and Road bullshit. Look that up and see what fucked up things its done to countries. They claim they will use local workers then ship in Chinese workers. When they do use local workers they beat them, as they did in Africa (plenty of vids on that). They then either don't finish the project or its built in a tofu-dreg way leaving the countries in massive debt to China and still no infrastructure. So, to combat this "soft power" USAID exists. But because the south african nazis does lots of business with China (even saying Taiwan should be part of China, when the CCP have NO claim on it whatsoever), he's managed to get USAID shutdown. This removes America's "soft power" play and allows China to take over with all its bullshit Belt and Road. Much like the stupid UK government close to allowing them to build a "super embassy" in the East End which WON'T only be used as an embassy.
