Republicans don't need it, they already have Fox News.

"Enjoy Comcast's service in the lack of privacy of your own home".

Came here to say the same thing. Actually two things:

1. Who decides which side has won, and at what point they've won?
2. What do you get for winning? Does FIFA give you a small gold statue?

I'd like to play my violin for him but I can't find it. It's the world's smallest violin so it's easy to lose.

I guess I'll just have to play a few notes on the trombone instead.

There's an easy way to get Kalshi shut down overnight: Run a gambling pool on when the Dear Leader will be assassinated by a sniper.

Wonderful, the Dear Leader has reinvented letters of marque, which were banned by the 1856 Paris Declaration.

Worms and malware do tend to spread quite quickly, so this figure isn't surprising.

Yeah, alongside the universal code phrase:

which, as anyone who has been in IT for more than about ten minutes, knows is really:

Ssshhh, it's a bit sensitive about its weight.

Both database admins and anyone who's ever dealt with Oracle's licensing department would get blind drunk for at least a week.

After that things would slowly return to normal.

If you've ever been stuck talking to a clanker on the phone you have a pretty good idea how this is going to end up. The only relief will be that they'll have to hire the human operators back once the first few people die because of it, so be very, very careful with anything you're doing the first week or so after it's introduced so you're not one of the deaths.

It's a significant impact on everyone. Everyone I know uses Chinese-OEM'd transceivers because they're about 1/5th to 1/10th the price of the same thing when it has a Cisco sticker on it.

Also, in terms of a device that converts electrical to optical signalling being a means for CCP bogeymen to exfiltrate data, I know you have to be a special grade of idiot to work in the Trump administration but do these guys have any idea how these devices work? Although it could be a blessing in disguise, they could think they've banning Chinese-made CB radios.

They don't automatically make them dumber, at best they have no noticeable effect on their learning. At worst, they're worse off.

So the headline should really read "Schools ditch one expensive pointless tech toy for a different brand of expensive pointless tech toy. Also, teachers pay to remain at 1980s levels".

Absolutely, yes. Single-chip designs are always compromises, for example you could screw up some on-chip hardware RNGs by lowering the supply voltage, using irregular clocking, and a bunch of other tricks. A proper HSM has a ton of additional circuitry to isolate it from external influences on its operation. A single SoC isn't an HSM no matter what the vendor's sales staff tell you.

No-one certified it. Proper HSMs are created by people with decades of experience and get enormous amounts of evaluation by other people with decades of experience. "Hardware wallets" are hobby projects created by people who think they can take an STM32, turn on the security bits, and sell it as an HSM. The crowdfunding will go well because the crypto bros will go gaga over it, but don't expect it to actually be secure.
