Which is why rich people really want Trump to win.

If anybody needs a catch up on the facts of this case:

The DoD will soon be requiring itself and Contractors to start following Rev 5 of the NIST SP 800-53 Risk Management Framework. In this revision are more robust controls for Supply-side security, which the DoD has been trying to incorporate for over 10 years.

Americans should know that the military and DOD and it’s contractors do their best to purchase authentic hardware from reputable vendors, but there are exceptions and alternate procurement allowances if the need is great and the standard more secure lines are unavailable or simply on back order.

It’s usually then that some of the fake hardware makes it into use

Did you use a guide to configure it all? I’d love to get started but networking has always been a weak spot for me

Great app, just wish they had a radar.

Also for my American brethren that also use Freedom units, you might have to set speed, temperature, volume, pressure measurements to something our smooth brains can understand:

I had to mess around in Android/Samsung settings to give it permissions to run in the background.

China needs Brazilian grain. The rainforest is fucked

Is Gmail still the preferred email address to use on resumes?

What’s the vision for this game? In my mind it’s like they want to create some massive P2W MMOFPS that somehow casuals will want to play despite some whales having paid into it for 10 years for game breaking advantages?

I admit I know little about the game, I’m just not sure how they’re going to attract that user base.

You got Mail Mail!

If you’re gonna pay for Antivirus, shout out to ESET NOD32.

They have gotten a bit expensive though. I’m buying a 1 year sub for $10 on Black Friday.

Like most Chinese products I wouldn’t trust their quality or their customer support, and would expect the thing to spy on me 24/7.

Ukraine used to be one of the most corrupt countries in the world. It dates back to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in '91. All of those Russian satellite countries, including Russia itself had to deal with organized crime and oligarchs and the turmoil and discord they sowed.

This is not a criticism of Ukraine as much as it is an attempt to show those issues don’t just go away in war time, in fact it can extrapolate and make matters much worse as criminals and oligarchs engage in War Profiteering.

I’m actually quite proud of Ukraine and Zelenskyy for keeping a lid on many of those unsavory elements and leading a very effective war against a foreign invader.

China… because China is a black hole of information and will steal anything and everything for hegemonic advantage. If that DNA belongs to family or friends of powerful people, that could lead to a future blackmail advantage

Russia, because fuck the West.

The State is absolutely necessary to U.S. interests in the Middle East.

I was on reddit for 12 years. My time spent on that platform and posting directly correlates to when I first found it (posted a lot) vs. when I quit earlier this year.

Reddit in it’s infancy was great and the users and the subreddits, with a few notable exceptions were great too.

Once it got too big/popular… About 6 years ago you could note the decline and quality of the posting

It’s aimed at the U.S. Government. There’s been an absolutely massive shift to get to Windows 10, updating systems as old as Windows 2000 to get there. MS advertised Windows 10 as their final OS, eventually backtracking and releasing Windows 11 and will continue to make iterative releases in the future. But for a moment The Government believed it and thought it was a great time to bite the bullet and go all in. Now that most major systems are upgraded to W10, it’s doubtful from my perspective that U.S.G. will be able to support or migrate to W11 or even W12, meaning they will most likely pay a lot of money over many many years to keep MS providing security updates for the W10 platform.

This app refuses to run on my TI-86 from 2004. Devs please fix.

Y’all are also smart enough to know and prohibit retailers from boosting prices just before discounting them to trick consumers into thinking they’re getting a huge deal when they’re actually paying average, or above average cost for the product.

They’re trying to shake people out of a contract that favors a set price, not prone to sudden increases. The Ultimate plan looks great now, then in a year it will be double the cost and in another year it’ll be double again.
