If anybody needs a catch up on the facts of this case:

The DoD will soon be requiring itself and Contractors to start following Rev 5 of the NIST SP 800-53 Risk Management Framework. In this revision are more robust controls for Supply-side security, which the DoD has been trying to incorporate for over 10 years.

Americans should know that the military and DOD and it’s contractors do their best to purchase authentic hardware from reputable vendors, but there are exceptions and alternate procurement allowances if the need is great and the standard more secure lines are unavailable or simply on back order.

It’s usually then that some of the fake hardware makes it into use

Biden didn’t ask Trump to sell National Security secrets to the Russians.

Biden didn’t ask Putin to trade those secrets to Iran.

Biden didn’t ask Iran to use said secrets and launch an attack on Israel to start a war that the U.S. would be forced to support in order to take away resources and attention from Putin’s war in Ukraine.

But Biden IS a Zionist.

You can criticize him for his support of Palestinian genocide, and rightly so. But you would be sadly mistaken if you withhold your vote for Biden and allow a Trump Presidency, who would not only continue the Palestinian genocide, but allow a Ukrainian one and a Taiwanese one as well… And perhaps fully and finally bring Totalitarianism to the U.S. since why not, he made it so close on January 6th anyways.

Did you use a guide to configure it all? I’d love to get started but networking has always been a weak spot for me

Great app, just wish they had a radar.

Also for my American brethren that also use Freedom units, you might have to set speed, temperature, volume, pressure measurements to something our smooth brains can understand:

I had to mess around in Android/Samsung settings to give it permissions to run in the background.

Is Gmail still the preferred email address to use on resumes?

You got Mail Mail!

If you’re gonna pay for Antivirus, shout out to ESET NOD32.

They have gotten a bit expensive though. I’m buying a 1 year sub for $10 on Black Friday.

Like most Chinese products I wouldn’t trust their quality or their customer support, and would expect the thing to spy on me 24/7.

China… because China is a black hole of information and will steal anything and everything for hegemonic advantage. If that DNA belongs to family or friends of powerful people, that could lead to a future blackmail advantage

Russia, because fuck the West.

I was on reddit for 12 years. My time spent on that platform and posting directly correlates to when I first found it (posted a lot) vs. when I quit earlier this year.

Reddit in it’s infancy was great and the users and the subreddits, with a few notable exceptions were great too.

Once it got too big/popular… About 6 years ago you could note the decline and quality of the posting

It’s aimed at the U.S. Government. There’s been an absolutely massive shift to get to Windows 10, updating systems as old as Windows 2000 to get there. MS advertised Windows 10 as their final OS, eventually backtracking and releasing Windows 11 and will continue to make iterative releases in the future. But for a moment The Government believed it and thought it was a great time to bite the bullet and go all in. Now that most major systems are upgraded to W10, it’s doubtful from my perspective that U.S.G. will be able to support or migrate to W11 or even W12, meaning they will most likely pay a lot of money over many many years to keep MS providing security updates for the W10 platform.

Y’all are also smart enough to know and prohibit retailers from boosting prices just before discounting them to trick consumers into thinking they’re getting a huge deal when they’re actually paying average, or above average cost for the product.

They’re trying to shake people out of a contract that favors a set price, not prone to sudden increases. The Ultimate plan looks great now, then in a year it will be double the cost and in another year it’ll be double again.

I use ESET NOD32. Such a reliable, low resource, and professional interface. Never had a problem

Nor should you, if you’re American

I wanted a Tesla when I thought Musk was pretty cool with everything he was doing with SpaceX.

Then the pandemic hit and I learned exactly who he was. There’s no way I’d ever support Musk now, let alone voluntarily give him my money.

Dude looks like he sniffs his own farts, and he likes the smell.
