I'm surprised and concerned that a company with so little infrastructure was even allowed to hold onto so much public data in the first place, seems like they'd be fairly easy to compromise - which I guess is true curtosy of USDoD.

IMO this year has actually felt comparatively longer than the last few since the C-19 lockdowns started. I actually feel like I'm late into the year, rather than having just blinked it away.
Trolling culture is one of the worst things to come out of the internet. We have a free to access, global encyclopaedia of information, and of course some dickheads start trying to worm AI generated nonsense into it for shits and giggles.
Of all the things to target, did they really have to go for the IA - the organisation that literally got into trouble with the man for helping children get access to books during the pandemic.
Does this hacker kick puppies and steal sweets from babies too?
Exactly this. It's a completely arbitrary rug-pull made especially repugnant by the fact you can circumvent it quite easily with basically no loss of functionality.
While modding Win11 is a perfectly legit option for home users, it's not for businesses - as such many, many business-spec computers will be "obsolete" once security updates for Win10 end.
Best you can hope for is that these computers pour into liquidation markets giving people the chance to buy decent quality PCs for cheap - but more likely they'll become e-waste
You mean to tell me that the racist morons who voted for Brexit didn't realise the jobs they were complaining about "being taken" were infact severely underpaid jobs that they themselvrs wouldn't take, thus now there's nobody to take these jobs?
Colour me shocked...
I have no doubt ~~Alphabet~~ Google would try to delay any breakup as long as physically possible, but this would be a huge win against big tech if it went ahead. It'd probably be quite the win for public privacy as well, as it'd decouple these widely used platforms from Google.
A pretty good summary of the TC video, but without Alec's passion for odd tech bleeding through it just isn't as interesting
Xitter might as well call it the "Maybes and Conditions" with how much they cherrypick their T&Cs nowadays
Is this a surprise to anyone at this point? Blatantly obvious corruption was basically the MO of the Trump administration
You telling me that a corrupt ~~conman~~ businessman with basically no morals is taking blatant quid pro quo bribes as part of his presidential campaign?? I can't believe it! /s
Seriously though, it's not a danger of him using the presidential seat for corrupt motives, it's a certainty. The world got lucky last time that his shoddy handling of Covid basically kneecapped his plans, but even then he still did near irreversible damage to the executive branch in the form of the now also blatantly corrupt SCOTUS judges. Don't give him a second chance.
I would, especially because of the harassment they suffered as a result of the false claim
