Re: Its Technical
I can't find a link now, but I saw a story from a reliable source to the effect that cell phone security is practically nonexistent over major US service providers due to a Chinese hack that was not described in any detail. Someone recommended that we use encryption, but didn't suggest what kind or...

Re: Apple watch for Xmas question
Having my share of ECGs, there isn't a way a phone could be as accurate, nor one of those pads with two sensors you put your fingers on. They will, however, give you a rough idea of where your vitals are. If they are, like Kenny Loggins, in the danger zone, go to the hospital, or at least call your ...

Re: The MAGA Government Superthread
There's been a lot of discussion about what is happening with Donald's cabinet picks. It seems, to me, that these picks are not about qualifications or 'shaking the establishment' but are a product of putting together a cabinet with some shared goals. Not that I want to Nazi this, but, if we look ba...

Re: Ukraine invades Russia!
Think about this, Brad. It could be Russia’s Tet Offensive. When the US government telling us the war was under control, the Tet Offensive was in-your-face evidence otherwise. This has the possibility of destabilizing Putin’s hold on power. Possibly. If Russians find out. It won't be headline news ...

Re: Hamas fires 7000 rockets at Israel, starting major war
Israel is looking to take the land. This requires displacing people and moving in your own citizens which is a war crime. Another in a series that will go unpunished.

The Elon-Trump thing was scripted.
Donald rarely goes to where he can't control things, and when he does, such as the NABJ, it goes...poorly.

Re: Trump has officially lost his mind
So tonight Trump is doing an interview by Elon Musk, who has bought Trump. What could possibly go wrong? Who will do the most damage to themself, Elon or Donald? Will it be a tie? I can't see any way in which this works out positively for either of them. I bet you Don Jr is behind this. It probably...

Re: Kamala Harris: Historic Presidential Candidate
One thing Kamala Harris has never done, or at least I don't think has ever done, is dumping the body of a bear cub in Central Park.

Re: 2024 Presidential Election
Clinton is currently not running for president and is unlikely to ever do so again. He's not relevant. It's 2024, Clinton hasn't been president for a while now. This is about Trump. If you're trying to justify things by saying "but Clinton did it", then know that's a horrible justification.
