Man, you really thought you said something clever here (and more likely, you're regurgitating nonsense you heard someone else say that you thought sounded clever), and it's patently absurd.

Anyone who has pulled over to the side of the road and walked behind some bushes to take a leak, ONLY pulls their throbbing wang out to piss when they can correctly assume that they have privacy. You don't know wtf you're talking about.

Not a single part of this story is about "telco boxes with AI features. The ENTIRE story is about the impact of memory prices on normal telco equipment having surged due to AI demand elsewhere. I'm as anti-"AI" as you can get, but it sounds like YOU really could use one if THAT's the takeaway that your shit reading comprehension hallucinated from this story,

The comment you're replying to isn't referring to information that China has, it's specifically referring to the topic of the post -- former Chinese generals that the U.S. hasn't recruited yet. Since the U.S. hasn't recruited these individuals yet, it's by definition, information China doesn't yet have.

You are not very smart and need to work on your reading comprehension before sharing your thoughts 3

Judge: Return the money

Me: I would love to your honor, the only problem is in all the excitement, I lost my private key!

...and then in 7 years or whatever, maybe you happen to find it?

You clearly don't know wtf you're talking about. At all.

...when there is no legal requirement to do so?"

- You, probably.

What does "dressed up like burglars" even MEAN, lol?

Leaving aside that an authorized penetration test isn't "shady activity", the terms of engagement included testing the building's security at night. How exactly does showing up during the day test whether the building's security can be penetrated at night? I can tell you put just the entirety of your brainpower into thinking this through.

And how are you under the impression that poor people live in residences where they can grow their own garden? Do you see a lot of personal gardens in apartment complexes, y'know, with their complete lack of yards?

Notepad++ was "calling home" to check if an updated version was available. It would "call home" automatically if you had auto-updater enabled, or if didn't have the auto-updater enabled, it would "call home" when you clicked the button to check for updates.

So what exactly is your issue with that behavior? If you don't think an application should "call home" to check for for new versions, where exactly do you think it SHOULD check?

lol, sure thing, AC

If you want people to answer your question, you should consider explaining wtf you're talking about. ...cue WHAT lawsuits about WHAT exactly? Jesus Christ

Thanks for the background. I too am shocked that vendors were whining about having to comply with security standards.

No, you're right -- it's TOTALLY a "valid" point that vendors shouldn't have had to attest to the security of a "major version change." Afterall, major version changes are known for minor changes in the platform's design.

And it's TOTALLY a "valid" point that Officers of companies signing the attestation shouldn't have to face criminal liability for willfully providing false or misleading information."

Thanks for providing that writeup from Claude, you fucking clod

Just imagine if the article or the summary had linked to the original policies, Enhancing the Security of the Software Supply Chain through Secure Software Development Practices (M-22-18)", as well as the follow-up enhancements announced in 2023 (M-23-16)

so that readers could see that they weren't "universal, one-size-fits-all method of achieving [the security goal]", and that it was as usual a lie, one that will surely weaken our security posture to disastrous consequences.

So you read his comment in which he criticizes the alarm being tripped so early, stating:

- "They needed better [recon]

- "On a job like this you don't just walk in unprepared", i.e.: he thinks they were unprepared.

- And in order to prepare, one would: "observe the place, walk in under a false pretext and take note of all the systems they may have, you research every single bit of kit you see on the walls.

I.e., his entire comment is about steps one would take to avoid intentionally tripping an alarm, and yet somehow, you came to the conclusion of "you read the article as if they'd intentionally tripped the alarm?

Your reading comprehension and ability to follow simple context cues royally fucking sucks, man. Just holy shit.

Google didn't previously have control of the client; wtf are you talking about
