TechNerdWizard42 , to Technology in Backdoor found in widely used Linux utility breaks encrypted SSH connections

Who wants to bet he received a nice lump sum deposit of cash from a five eyes state to make an "accident"...

TechNerdWizard42 , to Technology in Windows AI PC manufacturers must add a Copilot key, says Microsoft

You open the command prompt during initial setup, change the oobe. It reboots, then no Microsoft account.

TechNerdWizard42 , to 196 in rule

It most definitely is NOT. It's a oligarchian theocracy at this point and deserves to crumble.

TechNerdWizard42 , to 196 in rule

The US doesn't have a parliamentary system. It is winner take all. There are no votes of no-confidence. There are no coalition governments. The winner of the electoral college which is NOT popular vote gets full control with no oversight.

If you vote for a party that does not win, you get zero representation, not partial or proportional representation.

So abstaining truly does mean you don't care.

TechNerdWizard42 , to 196 in You see a lot of these memes about the state of the world are copy pasted from other subs (whole memes and rules) so it gets a little confusing I think its making my prozac wear off

Murderous thugs in blue steal the most. More than any active crime or wage thefts. ACAB

TechNerdWizard42 , to Technology in If you watched certain YouTube videos, investigators demanded your data from Google

Exactly. Nobody should be ok with random data being given out "just in case". This should be illegal and never happen. But it is perfectly acceptable in today's subpoena world and that's a scary thing.

The agent could have done the same thing in many different ways to get an ip address. It's also concerning that agents are still using IP address as a vouch of identity in 2024.

TechNerdWizard42 , to Technology in Google was ordered to identify people who watched certain YouTube videos. Privacy experts say the orders are unconstitutional.

Yeah, and that's also wrong. The shitheads in blue should not get access to any private video feeds.

TechNerdWizard42 , to Technology in Unpatchable vulnerability in Apple chip leaks secret encryption keys

They do have the power and they do compel US companies to do exactly this. When discovered publicly they usually limit it to the first level of the "vulnerability" until more is discovered later.

It is not conjecture, there is leaked documents that prove it. And anyone who works in semiconductor design (cough cough) is very much aware.

TechNerdWizard42 , to Technology in Unpatchable vulnerability in Apple chip leaks secret encryption keys

The more probable answer is that the NSA asked for the backdoor to be left in. They do all the time, it's public knowledge at this point. AMD and Intel chips have the requisite backdoors by design, and so does Apple. The Chinese and Russian designed chips using the same architecture models, do not. Hmmmm... They have other backdoors of course.

It's all about security theatre for the public but decrypted data for large organizational consumption.

TechNerdWizard42 , to Privacy in Google Allows Creditors to Brick Your Phone

Funny how that's not needed when you don't break your phone and the thing works out of the box. No random reboots and resets like every US carrier branded phone where a custom ROM is a necessity.

Also if I need replacement parts all the mobile repair shops stock them in places I routinely visit.

Youre just too taken in by propaganda to admit the shit the US shoves down your throat isn't that great.

TechNerdWizard42 , to Privacy in Google Allows Creditors to Brick Your Phone

Cameras are better than Samsung flagship and on par with iPhone. The newest 14 beats the iPhone 15 in side by side tests according to many media outlets.

The display is Samsung OLED. The exact same display technology.

Educate yourself to the world outside of the USA and you'll find far superior technology.

TechNerdWizard42 , to Privacy in Google Allows Creditors to Brick Your Phone

Lower quality? Lol.

I'll give you a chance to look up the Mix Fold 3. And then any other equivalent phone available in the US market.

Even excluding the folding aspect, the screen sizes and overall thickness means it looks and works exactly like a non foldy. 50W wireless, 120W wired charging. 1TB of storage, 16GB of RAM. Leica lenses.

On top of that, zero of my data goes to the US government at it does on carrier branded phones. I will give all my data to the ccp if they want it. I have no interest in what they do with it. I have very high interest in what a five eyes nation does with my data and information.

Just to connect the dots for you, the US refused to sell Helium to Germany because of war sanctions. A beloved tool of the USA much more powerful today with global banking and the SWIFT network. Even though it was a civilian application, there were obviously some military uses and therefore blocked. That directly led to the deaths of everyone.

The SR71 is built out of titanium. The only supplier of titanium was the USSR. The USSR had sanctions against the USA for the same reasons. The US built fraudulent companies, forged paperwork and entire companies. They smuggled and stole and evaded the sanctions to get enough titanium to build the SR71.

Any US history about the SR71 tells it like a hero's tale. Having to outwit the bad guy for the greater good of the country.

Today, any nation that doesn't play ball with the US is blocked from global trade even if it means millions of deaths. Evasion of those sanctions by third parties is treated just as badly. And they get put on lists. The US is all about sanctions to control and talks about global law and order when it benefits them. But when they don't benefit from the sanctions, they have zero shame to evade them and brag about it.

There's a lot more, but that's a cursory look. If you've never ready the story of the SR71 acquisitions, it is an interesting read no matter what you think of the politics.

TechNerdWizard42 , to Privacy in Google Allows Creditors to Brick Your Phone

Love the Chinese phones. None of this crap US stuff is enabled. It's baked into the system ROM so it is there. But on mine it has never transfered any data, not even ever been active. It's just dead code taking up a few megabytes.

TechNerdWizard42 , to solarpunk memes in (not actually official) (sadly)

So what's your view on the SR71, specifically the titanium sourcing...

Sanctions are good except when I need them?
