Ah but now you started a race to the bottom. Current day MAGA is a great example. Can you be MAGA and disagree with anything dear leader does? Nope. You speak out and MAGA comes for you. You're either all or nothing. Another political party started doing shit like that back in Germany in the 1930s. First the economic and social problems were blamed on one particular group. Then when the blame ran out it shifted to another group. Eventually you're going to run out of purity.

Submission + - The Trump Phone no longer promises it's made in America (theverge.com)

Submitted by ArchieBunker
ArchieBunker writes: When the Trump Organization launched the Trump Mobile wireless carrier, it also launched a flagship phone called the T1 Phone 8002 (gold version). One of the phone’s main selling points was that it was to be made in America. We figured that was unlikely to be true. And we were right: sometime in the last several days, the Trump Mobile site appears to have been scrubbed of all language indicating the phone is to be made in the USA. (Like, for instance, the huge banner on the homepage that says the T1 is “MADE IN THE USA.” Just to name one example.)

Instead, the Trump Mobile website now includes what can only be described as vague, pro-American gestures in the direction of smartphone manufacturing. The T1’s new tagline is “Premium Performance. Proudly American.” Its website says the device is “designed with American values in mind” and there are “American hands behind every device.” Under Key Features, the first thing listed is “American-Proud Design.” None of this indicates, well, anything. It certainly doesn’t say the device is made in the USA, or even designed in the USA. There are just some hands. In America.

That’s not the only thing that appears to have changed about the phone since its launch last week. It was originally advertised to have a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen, but now the T1’s site says it’s 6.25 inches. The site used to list the phone as having 12GB of RAM, and now doesn’t list RAM at all. It’s not entirely clear what’s happening here — the Trump Organization hasn’t responded to a request for comment — but it looks like Trump Mobile may have switched suppliers for the T1. Whatever’s going on, it’s certainly another reason to doubt whether this phone is for real. (The badly photoshopped image of the phone hasn’t changed, though, so that’s something.)

When Trump Mobile first launched, it was also promising the T1 Phone 8002 would ship in September. Now, the only timing I could find was “later this year.” Probably best not to hold your breath.

Too few people who actually know how a computer works and have any sorts of admin or maintenance skills. I've dealt with DBAs who couldn't SSH to a server, because they use some point and drool tool.

For me, I just went lower in the stack. Anyone who knows Linux, knows Verilog, VHDL, and Ladder Logic, and being able to tape out your own IC can likely help with a resume.

I'm friends with a semi retired professor who teaches computer science and architectures. He gets complaints from the dean because the students complained to their parents that they aren't being taught how to write mobile phone games.

What facts and critical thinking do you think are relevant here?

Where did RFK Jr. Obtain his medical degree and license to practice medicine? Wait, he has neither.

How about RFK Jr's own words: I don't want to seem like I'm being evasive, but I don't think people should be taking medical advice from me https://www.cbsnews.com/news/r...

Certainly not sending their best...
