Comment Somebody said the Democrats wouldn't save you (Score 1) 539

If you were drowning. Fair enough. But the thing is when somebody is drowning more often than not they can take their rescuer down with them while they're panicking.

I think the Democrats are trying to save us from drowning but at the same time I think that if they start to go down with us because we won't stop panicking then well, they don't have the strength of character to go down with us.

I'm not sure I can blame them for that. At some point we have got to stop being in a constant state of mild or extreme terror and making bad decisions because of it. The problem is once you're in that state it's really hard to calm down and get out of it which is why so many people drown...

Comment So the senate seat isn't what matters (Score 1) 539

It's the AG and the governor. That also means the secretary of state will be a Democrat because the governor appoints them.

This is a big deal because those three seats control and oversee voting.

Now Democrats have a bad habit of refusing to wield power but the orange pedophile has gone after individual Democrats with the doj recently so they're starting to actually fear for their individual lives.

So I think that the Texas Democrats will actually wield that power for a change and this is going to make it really hard for the Republicans to cheat the way they need to cheat to win elections.

That's why I say Texas has flipped blue. The Democrats could potentially wussy out and let it flip back Red by allowing the Republican party to suppress their voters again like they've been doing for the last 50 years but I don't think they're going to do that this time because they are genuinely fearing for their lives and for good reason

Define "modern". Many "modern" PCs could not upgrade to Windows 11 because they did not have TPM modules. Those that don’t want a TPM module do not have to install one. If the bank is writing software for a PC, it has to either limit which individual PCs will not run their software. Or not bother with tailoring their software for the myriad of variations that a PC might be,

How is a PC "more vulnerable" than a phone?

PCs are so varied there is no guarantee that the PC has the necessary security hardware. Phones by model either have or do not have security chips like Apple's Secure Enclave or Android Keystore. With any PC, it is down to the individual PC as neither of them have a TPM module. Then we have the issue of the operating system. Even if we limit PCs to Windows only, some people are still running very old Windows that no longer get any updates.

Submission + - French blood banks hacked in latest cyber-attack on Europe (theguardian.com)

AmiMoJo writes: France’s national blood service has said hackers accessed control systems and boosted temperatures at three cold stores stocking vital blood products, in an apparent escalation of recent cyber-attacks on fridges and freezers across Europe.

The French blood service (EFS) said temperature and defrosting thresholds had been raised to “very high levels” in the attack, adding that its alarm systems had allowed technicians to intervene before the products were compromised.

The EFS is France’s public blood transfusion operator, collecting, testing, preparing and distributing products such as blood, plasma and platelets to more than 1,900 hospitals around the country. It supports more than a million patients a year.
