"It's more like male voters have a female-candidate-for-president problem."

If a large group of people are given 3 choices for dinner: #1 boiled rocks, #2 boiled sticks, or #3 fried potatoes

If all males choose #3 it does not mean they don't like what they eat to be boiled. It means the first 2 choices are BAD and anyone with a brain does not want them.

I think making statements like the one you made says more about your sexist views and that you do not see reality.

Give examples please and explain. If you take recent similar events like Zuckerberg FINALLY admitting to the censoring of information on his platform. Musk did the exact opposite, he provided access to a liberal journalist that exposed the hidden widespread censorship occurring at Twitter pre-purchase. (Which was very extensive)

Comment EDS and TDS are real. (Score 0) 210

Who had any idea that this thread would be mostly a bunch of people crying about Elon? I don't feel bad at being off topic given that. Still waiting for Twitter to implode after he cleaned house over there. Sad that a certain small portion of the population prefers things to be run like North Korea to keep themselves in the dark. So is Slashdot going to turn into all day Trump posts after the election? Slashdot has been great at ignoring the last 3.5 years in comparison to the 4 before that.

If you actually look at the House Intelligence Committee testimony from President Shawn Henry of Crowdstrike back in 2017 he clearly makes it seem as if they were never really 100% certain.

Here are some excerpts from his testimony:

        "There are times when we can see data exfiltrated, and we can say conclusively. But in this case it appears it was set up to be exfiltrated, but we just don’t have the evidence that says it actually left."

        "There’s not evidence that they were actually exfiltrated. There's circumstantial evidence but no evidence that they were actually exfiltrated."

        "There is circumstantial evidence that that data was exfiltrated off the network. We didn't have a sensor in place that saw data leave. We said that the data left based on the circumstantial evidence. That was the conclusion that we made."

        "Sir, I was just trying to be factually accurate, that we didn't see the data leave, but we believe it left, based on what we saw."
        Asked directly if he could "unequivocally say" whether "it was or was not exfiltrated out of DNC," Henry told the committee: "I can't say based on that."

If you have no firewall or full packet inspection showing the data leaving the network, you cannot say it occurred. Clearly they could not confirm this so that is why he testified to that.

LOL, says the guy who supports his argument by stating "What I am seeing on social media is that evangelicals are planning to withhold their votes because he is too soft on abortion, for example" Every single pole run on social media Trump is winning in a landslide. Even more now that Kamala is being forced on the people. The "candidate" that could not even make it through a primary. November is going to be fun for you there in the sand, buckle up!

Are you that blind? His camp was saying there is no chance of him dropping out as recently as 2 days ago. It took basically all donors pulling money to get to this point over multiple weeks. His words were written by someone else, and forced out. It looks more likely an internal coup. Not "class", LOL. Your take seems clearly to be the long term effects from TDS.

Guessing you don't do IT security. I would not put Trend into the same bucket as the other two. Trend has been a top player for well over 20 years. They find so many 0 days per year (and protect against them). They have consumer products and corporate products. Their corporate products are NOT norton or McAfee level. Outside the USA they heavily used in many industries. Just look up ZDI sometime. There are a ton of details this is just one single metric: ZDI provided Microsoft with 20% of all their vulnerabilities in which they disclosed in 2023

Comment Re:Correlation or Causation? (Score 2) 200

I find that odd, because I also am in IT and after the pandemic I would say at least 80% of those I know in the IT field WFH is extremely important to them now. In those 80% I would say at least 50% are willing to even take a slight pay cut to get almost 100% WFH. Before the pandemic we were at maybe 1 to 2 days a week working from home. After 98% WFH and they are sticking with it for now. Anyone I have spoken with in the IT field in a place that is nearly 100% WFH (1 to 2 times a month going in) not just my organization, has stated to me they would be looking for other employment if they were forced back in. I would also look for WFH friendly work if I was forced back in. So my experience and what I know more closely represents the picture this article paints.

One last thing to note, the ONLY people I have seen in my org and others that are really anti-WFH has been middle management.
