The objective isn't to create happier healthier dogs, it's to create biological weapons from dogs.

To be fair they were also bumbling about incompetently when they did QA testing.

It's true. At best a VPN or firewall on a endpoint OS is a promise from that OS to behave correctly. A promise from Windows isn't worth much.

I totally got that reference.

Wordpress being insecure has been a proven fact for a long time. But this PHP issue is something a bit more fundamental.

The claim that drupal powers 56% of government websites is repeated on a few sites. It seems to be from 2021. It doesn't have a credible source and seems to be false.

"Voting Machines" come in 3 types:

1. DRE where your vote is Directly Recorded Electronically.
2. Ballot counters where your vote is recorded on a paper ballot and the machine is fed them, counts them and spits back out the ballot to be saved.
3. Ballot markers that mark a paper ballot and you then send it through a ballot counter.

1. There are only 6 US states where DRE machines are used at all, only Lousiana uses them for all districts. All 6 of those states want to get rid of the DRE machines and switch to paper ballots and Ballot Counters. Trump could easily hack Louisiana ... but does not have to. They already have that state. The other states where some counties use DRE are New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee and Utah. They use them in certain older counties. Tennessee, Utah and Indiana are not in play. New Jersey is a lock for the Democrats. Ohio is the only 'swing' states where hacking could give Trump an advantage.

2. Ballot counters can be easily checked to see if they are hacked. Just hand count 1000 ballots and feed them to the machine. No one is going to bother hacking them.

3. Ballot Marking Devices are typically used by people with vision issues. If you do not have vision issues you can ask to use the BMD and visually check to see if it marked the paper ballot correctly. No one is going to hack them.

It is reasonable to be very concerned about the state of Ohio being hacked. But if the Democrats win Ohio, they will win the US senate even without Ohio.

Note, AI sources have lied about DRE machines. Do not trust AI.

Cause if it was profitable, he would keep the shares.

I do not give them money.

I consider them all to be fraudsters. Specifically they use the words "sell" , "buy", etc. when they are not selling you anything, they are renting you stuff.

People should not be allowed to misuse these words, it encourages ignorance in the younger generation.

I expect a lot of these game companies to change to a system where:

1) You pay for a yearly contract to play ANY of their games.

2) Despite them having only one or two games that people want to play, in addition to 8+ crappy games that no reasonable person would pay to play.

This allows them to screw over people in a manner similar to what they do now.

Linked in was an attempt to redo the hiring process.

The problem is doing it online is not an advantage. If they had come up with any real advantage, they would have become important.

One of the major reasons people get into the various forms of poor trap is that they have a network of people they love and help but are worse off than them.

The single parent keeping their teen age kid alive.
Who also makes sure her mother gets her medication
Who also has a brother/sister in rehab.

The people that have a good support network (middle class parents that occasionally buy them diapers) are the ones that have the time and energy to get a good job.

I hate clutter too, but if you turn all that off what does KDB have left that makes it better than anything else?

Personally I use sway. Everything stays out of my way. No start menu to complain about. The status bar is simple text and can be configured to display whatever I like in whatever format.

Note taking is not illegal. But if your notes involve the exact frequencies used so that it is POSSIBLE to create an audio duplicate than it counts as recording.

I.E. If you make a digital recording it is the same as an analog recording.

But you did raise some very good points.
