Yep. It's no longer about the policies or what we can do to improve the country and protect it.

It's all about framing and mudslinging and nothing more. Just look at the absolute insane level of astroturfing and bot spam over the last few days throwing absolutely everything at the wall to discredit and drum up hate against Harris.

All it is is a campaign to rile up right wingers to hate someone else. It's literally nothing more than this, there's no actual value to any of it it is the opposite of valuable to this country.

No need to call it it's already happening

One step at a time bud.

If you try and do everything at once you get nothing done at all.

I definitely don't like it, I'm pretty sure exponentially doesn't mean what this comment thinks it means though....

The operative word, which you quoted, is "relatively".

Because it's relevant? Is this not factual information that readers may or may not have known?

The availability of hardware changes by a not-negligent degree based on the legality of acquiring it.

Curious readers likely find information indicating that these shouldn't be readily available at your local big box store to be pertinent information.

Sounds like a nightmare for security, and a dream for attackers.

More companies need to do this, solid job security.

I love the Linux bros coming out of the woodwork on this one when this could have very well have been Linux on the receiving end of this shit show. Given that it's a kernal level software issue, and not necessarily an OS one.

It's largely infeasible to use Linux for many, most, of these endpoints. But facts are hard.

No, still a shit show at airports at the time of writing.

Lots of kiosks, screens, and other devices still show BSODs in airports. Systems still slow and unstable.

Likely similar in other industries.

To be fair this seems to be the sentiment on most Linux and linux-ancillary forums.

Which while wrong and ignorant on multiple levels, seems on brand none the less.

Lol good fuckin luck.

In a corporate environment you just aren't getting what you need out of Linux that you don't of windows for many of the kinds of endpoints affected.

How do you deal with places with thousands of remote endpoints??
