Having your SSN and financial details exposed is a 'minor inconvenience'? No.

Probably because the market share numbers for phones in the US look like:

• Apple: 52%
• Samsung: 24%
• Lenovo: 12%
• Everyone else: 1% or less

Nobody cares about anyone in the last category.

The government? It is a civil case.

So what was the point of your completely worthless comment? For a really impressive number, why don't you see how many NOPs you can do in a second?

People who are purchasing mainframe-type equipment are interested in how fast THEIR workload will run. Nobody gives a crap how fast a useless transaction can run if everything happens to be in the cache.

Your comment is a perfect example of how to completely mislead people with a so-called "benchmark".

CLOWNSTRIKE.COM was registered in 2012, last updated 2023-10-30, and is held by "CSC Corporate Domains", the same agency named in the article (and the same registrar that holds CROWDSTRIKE.COM itself)
It's pretty common for these agents to register any potential parody names, but with the proliferation of gTLDs many slip through (.lol wasn't a valid TLD in 2012)

With a 4.7Ghz processor, that leaves 1000 cycles for you to do a 'transaction'. You won't even have the transaction decrypted and routed to the right handler in that time. A credit card purchase is a transaction. A trivial update to a trivial database is not.

It's 40 terabytes of RAM, not disk.

Ancient metal? Who is running ancient metal? The current generation of mainframes is 2 years old, and includes dedicated AI inference hardware on each chip.

SIKE was not endorsed by NIST. It was a candidate for standardization. It failed.

Yet they appear to drive exactly like a 16 year old. They do the same stupid crap, like just stop where they are when they get confused.

What a great example of "how to lie with statistics". Compare the MAXIMUM sentence of one crime with the AVERAGE TIME SERVED of another.

The MAXIMUM sentence for murder is life without possibility of parole (or in some states, death). The average time served before first release for murder is 18 years.

The MAXIMUM sentence for wire fraud is 20 years. The average time served (for fraud of this size) is about 5 years.

More than 50% of mainframe workload is now "new workload", meaning Linux and/or Java. It's time for the "legacy only" meme to die.

So you actually think that they spun up an LPAR that had a CPU dedicated to your task? Here's a hint - they didn't. You were sharing that resource with dozens, maybe hundreds of other users. Your benchmark is completely invalid.

Have you tried typing on a touch screen without autocorrect? The D is right next to the F. With every tap you're hitting several 'keys'. The software has to guess if you meant D, F, G, maybe V, C, R or T. The software is pretty stupid, even more so than you might realize if you only ever use English. It also learns from your input, so if it has 'corrected' your word to duck a few times and you've sent it, it learns that that was probably what you wanted. It will even offer a duck emoji. Not everything is a conspiracy against your digital rights.

Nobody says that everything digital the holds value is a security. The rest of your rant is meaningless.
