That’s it! It always comes down to narcisism and his ability to downplay utterly catastrophic news. See the narcisists prayer.

Is possible to label users on the web app side? Asking for an idiot Lemmy user. Certainly not myself.

It was very likely compromised by NSA requiring a backdoor or weakened encryption that could be cracked by the US. There’s a long story that’s pretty interesting if you want to hit the rabbit hole

That’s a burn within a burn! That’s a second degree burn!

It’s the latter. That’s physically impossible at those pressures - mains access for that size of pipe is locked out (and dangerous). And it’s bullshit that they “didn’t know” until they got complaints about pressure - municaplities of ANY size monitor pressure for serviceability and boil order recommendations. Someone knew 100% and pretended to be dumb.

His capacity for self-agrandizement, self-preservation, and self-enrichment really know no bounds.

I’m upvoting you because we should raise visibility of people calling this out. But I hate that we tend to call these people stupid (myself included).

They are calculating and outright authoritarian/fascist in agenda, and find psychological weak points with the gullible masses: “Think of the Children” “Think of the Scammers” " Think of your taxes!" People who either don’t have the mental accumen, lack of education, lack of experience, or lack the time to apply those because they are struggling with life tend to give these things a pass or just buy into the messaging outright.

It’s manipulative and it’s “clever” in it’s own way to constantly apply ratcheting pressure rightward. Calling them dummies obfuscates just how insidious and evil it truly is. Mocking them doesn’t work if people assume these people are a joke that will never accomplish their goal…

Just fucking fantastic.

Don’t go chasing waterfalls…

What a thoughtful and concise overview of the situation. Thank you.

Microsoft’s Sculpt was a staple that fit this bill until they stopped producing them a few years back, but another company is now producing it (I think the OG manufacturer for Microsoft). I bought one recently to replace an aging Microsoft board and it looks, feels, and functions exactly the same. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F5YNL62D…

As absolutely shitty as Microsoft is, they can do some hardware well.

Same here. Had it in spam. Tell your friends and maybe we can turn that into another class action. :)

I greedily await my $0.18!

It’s from Politico… so…

He looks so old that even the botched plastic surgeries are looking old now. Damn he looks frail…

Anyone taking odds on this being a prepare for the bubble popping vs. the corporate line that it’s to invest further into AI?

1. Layoff 30K people
2. Stonk goes from $146.88 close yesterday to $145.25 close today after the layoffs.
3. ??AI??
4. Profit!

I’m not certain of it, but we at least need to investigate it because if people can commit wrongdoing without even the fear that they’re going to be found out, that’s a fundamental problem.
