It means Iran has severely limited the capacity of the Strait of Hormuz. It's a hostage situation. No one is winning, but the objective isn't to win in the sense of completely closing the Strait, the objective is to create a sufficiently long period of pain that eventually the US and its allies walk away. Christ almighty, force multiplication is hardly a new concept.

There are plenty of places in North America without coverage because there's so little to cover. The Los Vegas metropolitan area has about three million people. So yes, that would be a place with cell phone coverage. By the same token, coverage in states like Montana, particularly in mountainous areas is spotty because, well, there's not a lot of people.

That's definitely hysteria.

Yes, if it's out there on the internet, AI can scrape it and it can be used for training. And there's only so much you can do about it.

That has nothing to do with being able to run AI on your own network, on your own system. You can run AI locally on an airgapped PC. Your data is as safe as the physical integrity of your PC or network.

I suspect you were just asked to be nice, and through a combination of spectrum OCD and insufficient cognitive therapy, you decided somehow you were being asked to do something wrong.

So you helped elect an ignorant sociopath. Congrats on that. Maybe you should have attended more of those cognitive therapy sessions.

Jesus Fucking Christ. It's 2026, Trump has been putting his boot on the necks of major networks and studios for a year and a half now. I realize you probably fell into a coma in 2016, but ten years later, the free press, regardless of what you think of it, or fair you imagine it is, is under direct assault. Fuck off with the "MSM" bullshit and grow the fuck up.

Or they'd make private cloud devices and not be in the position of handling the data or the encryption. Maybe they could offer an offsite backup service of encrypted data, but it would be just that: encrypted files that only the user has access to.

I still don't understand why we are relying on datacenters and services for storage, it just invites government overreach.
