I'm guessing someone could actually explain at a technical level exactly how these particular makes/models/configurations would DDoS "itself". Or better yet, have someone produce the actual audit trail of the events leading up to the network crashing, as every router is capable of logging.

You know, for shits and taxpayers sake. Make sure that cover story lines up with a $50B request. See who's asking for that pocket change.

When a twenty-something strong network of nodes that controls air traffic handoff for every aircraft traveling between ATC towers (lets call it Achilles for DNS's sake) is targeted for a demonstration of just how weak our decades old system truly is regarding felling key dominos, it tends to scream one thing.

Red Team.

Duffy's Debrief was portraying the old man yelling at old systems so hard that he might as well been called Red Foreman.

C'mon folks. Zero risk to any American at any time, followed up by a whole lot of nothing terrorist to see here, move along EXCEPT FOR MUH FUNDING I TELLS YA! WE NEEDS IT NOW!

* looks back at the Edumucashun Google technology is delivering, one doomscrolling useful idiot after another *

Who do you think will care for the elderly? Think I’m complaining because math test next week? If you think the kids are dumb now by comparison, just wait until they birth a Magnificent idiot replacement. Or seven. Billion.

By all means, sit back and defend the status quo with silence. It’s how WFH was destroyed in favor of Hypocritical Greed justifying a polluting commute to a pointless office building, because that’s a lovely 401k full of corrupt commercially-priced dirt you’ve got in your retirement portfolio..and it would be a shame if someone stayed at home and something happened to our investments. FUCK going Green. Our commercial real estate corruption is more valuable than commute pollution.

Speak up now. Boldly. Your kids will thank you for at least trying to fight for their children’s education. If Google AI is that necessary in school, then we apparently don’t need educators anymore.

If you’re not searching by specific make and model anywhere online, you’re likely to get a mixed bag of shit. Because “shit” is sold under 17 brands in 13 categories within 7 industries now. Nope. Not shitting you.

What Amazon is asking for, they already have (ratings, reviews, and how-tos). What they ironically need, is to get rid of the botware and paid reviewer sniping that goes on between brands that they likely encourage (sell to both sides), in order to get USEFUL reviews and factual information instead of the shit they’ve created to sell..well, more shit than ever.

Today, you have to go search the intertubes for the product instruction manual from a vendor name that loosely translates into “fuck your vowels”. Go figure Amazon needs to keep that Dxxyyddfx, LLC keyword search proprietary.

I know. Shitty world we shop in. But wait til should see the New Shit. Neon pukezilla is the new black.

Did you just threaten to force educators to actually teach our kids?

Do I hear a quack? Don’t threaten us to DuckDuckGo elsewhere. We just might tell you to FuckFuckOff and see just how bad you, need us.

Oh, and one more thing. You will NOT threaten pension investments and retirees with your corrupt “magnificent” standing in the market. Do it, and we just might take you up on that challenge too. Knock your greedy dick in the dirt where your arrogance should be.

Hold that thought there, donkey.

There are several places documenting exactly what the plan was for all levels of diving. The upper decks were supposed to rest in 55' of water. That's less than half the depth limit for recreational divers. Meaning plenty to see at that level of skill, even from an external view only. From the local investor standpoint, it also meant trying to include the ninety-five percent of the dive market today who are not advanced or tech divers.

Yes. That is a lot of potential risk now resting on it's side instead of upright. As the original plan dictated. Perhaps we'll find this out when the dive shops start complaining.

Let's see if you can take your own advice regarding admitting when you're wrong. Let's see if civil discourse is still alive here.

Correct. But recreational divers can go to 40m or 130'. The original (upright) plan, put the smokestacks at 55'. They had plans to put identifiers on or near the ship to mark the limits for each range of diver skill. Recreational diving might have to be scrapped from that plan now.

Not sure what the financial impact is of that yet, but Worlds Largest Artificial Reef doesn't exactly scare divers away. That is likely going to be a destination dive spot in the end for many.

Yes. The same thing has been happening in our cars for over a century now. Which begs the question; why does the purpose of the 100-year old harmonic dampener, sound eerily familiar to a 100-year old solution for bridge failures?

I joked about this earlier, but seriously. If we've known about the problem of harmonics in systems and why we need to dampen them, why have we not realized this need in larger structures long ago? Even for retro-fitting?

Unfortunately you may be speaking on behalf of advanced and tech divers only now. I believe a goal was settling parts of the ship within recreational diving range.

Doubt that will happen now.

Son of a, so that’s why my Flux Capacitor won’t cycle?

Where the hell am I gonna find a harmonic time dampener for an ‘81 DeLorean at this hour..

Uh, that’s kind of a two way problem. There’s a reason the new kitchen toaster needs voice control. Gen Touch N’ Tell tended to turn the task of building a better idiot into some kind of industrial goal in need of a stock ticker. Which was quite non consensual for most of society learing just how bad it is.

DR planning the battery cycling on the battery-backed DR device, isn’t a born skill. It’s a boring-ass one. Screw that. Just give it to Dewitt Fore-Me again, says the consumer.

Sounds like that might require critical thinking skills. Shut off the internet on kids today and you can measure IQ with a wet bulb. Should we be testing what or who first.

Planes have been falling out of the sky for a lot longer than drones have. Same basic risk and impact to mitigate in DR. Minus the arch enemy factor behind the destruction of course.

Drone attacks (as in multiple), fly with intent. A building being hit by an accidental plane/drone/UAP strike, is a hell of a lot different scenario to plan for than an army of drones targeting a companies (multi-site) facilities.

In the latter scenario, your DR "plan" is sitting somewhere between TARFU and FUBAR. That's Meal Team Six in the cafeteria. Let's not pretend their COD skillz are going to save the marketing hotties and defend the data center to the death when a flight of stairs could kick their ass.

A rather odd declaration coming from a company who has had a dedicated gaming division for well over a decade now, and sponsors esports players. Just dusting this off and bringing it to the marketing table now? Who were you sponsoring before? Digital derelicts? Professional clock watchers?

Gaming, is not a waste of time. Gaming addiction on the other hand, is a lot harder to scrutinize since it pays the executive bonus checks.

Maaan, your Pac-Man body count on multiplayer must be insane.

Bet you took down a few Kongs too, ya barrel-busting badass.

If it makes you feel any better, they'll blame the premature deaths on COVID before admitting that GLP-1s might cause harm.

At the Big Medicine trials in Nuremberg.

Sometime in 2097.
