The only "strategic national reserve" that can be stored on a thumbdrive.

I know how these guys sell printers, and it makes me really leery of buying a computer from them.

Is this likely to survive the inevitable court challenges?

This is hardly "news."

Anyway, a crappy product in color isn't much improvement over a crappy product in black & white.

You weren't posting in r/conservative. I guarantee it.

When the hardware is locked down, Linux dies. That's their game plan to force us back into the corporate ecosystem.

Archeologists don't dig through the dirt anymore, they just find old floppies and see what's on them.

That was my first thought, too.
