I wonder who would be interested in ginning up big bad-faith hit jobs against good news outlets
The author of the article. It doesn't take long to uncover their politics and they are absolutely not involved in any right wing conspiracy.
There's nothing really wrong with substack. People just like to shit on anything that doesn't pass whatever purity test they happen to use.
Banning TP-Link routers isn't going to do a damn thing to solve the problem of insecure routers, SOHO or otherwise. Too many people and companies set shit up and then ignore it until it breaks and under these conditions routers are always going to become insecure given a long enough timeline.
Fire up Shodan and see how many discontinued Cisco ASAs are out there. Hell you can probably still find some Cisco PIX boxes even though they went away nearly twenty years ago! Those aren't people doing that, those are COMPANIES.
The problem here isn't the brand or even the silicon that brand uses. It's with the utter lack of management (including EoL replacement) by the people using the damn things.
Is the chart accurate?
No. It's outdated, misleading and inaccurate.
Most people don't realize it but in FY2024 the interest payments on our national debt exceeded the entire military budget.

I’m curious how that funding worked.
In Texas in order to work government event security and do fill-in work you need to be a sworn Peace Officer in the state but in order to be a sworn officer you need to be employed by a recognized Law Enforcement Agency in the State.
So most of those Officers were only minimally present on the Duty Roster, primarily only working when another agency put out a call for Officers.
That much I know from researching it back when it was a current event. I suspect that this was primarily funded by the Officers involved paying into the scheme as they got work. As an example Officer Humpty would work an event in Dallas and the Coffee City P.D. would get paid $3,000 (pick a number) for borrowing that Officer. Coffee City would then pay Officer Humpty $2,000 (pick a number) for his work.
You could easily keep 200+ Officers busy doing events and fill-in work in Texas.
You should also know that the Coffee City, P.D. was a refuge for troubled Peace Officers, a sort of "Last Chance University" for Texas Cops. They'd get in trouble somewhere else then go to Coffee City and work there to prove that they were fine and then transfer back to a regular Police Department somewhere else.
They'd put up with the bullshit so that they could hold onto their career in Law Enforcement.
I thought the binary blob thing was explained?
Basically UEFI booting requires shims and those need to be signed so the Ventoy author is re-using the ones from Fedora and OpenSUSE. This can be verified by comparing hashes, which the author of that comment shows how to do.
This whole thing seems to come down to people freaking the F out because they don't understand how the software works and the Author of the software is currently PO'd off at the community and stopped answering questions.
Benjamin...get the musket.
That fucking loony isn’t going to get anywhere in Canada.
That fucking loony is ALREADY in your Government.
Shit like this is actually getting passed in the US.
No, it's not. There is literally nowhere in the United States that has passed or even nearly passed legislation requiring the registration of pregnancies.
Today Trump moved to fire all Biden era prosecutors.
Which has nothing to do with what we're talking about.
You have your own stupid politicians. Every Nation does. We happen to have a really stupid one in charge of our Federal Government right now but that's a separate matter than some idiot in Missouri.
Still the contract should be void, when the legal entity ceases to exist.
How do you know that Nuvia no longer exists as a legal entity? A company can be acquired without it being dissolved (ceasing to exist).
If this is true, why then couldn’t Arm prevent Qualcomm from using a license agreement they had with a company Qualcomm bought?
All licensing agreements aren't the same. It's possible that the ARM agreement didn't address transferable rights but that the Intel / AMD agreement did.
this old Hollywood guy
Thanks for making me feel old because I was alive when Vincent Price was active. Hell he even had a #1 pop song, Thriller, with Michael Jackson! (who is also dead...jeez...)
The Arab Oil boycott happened in 1973. Your timeline doesn't work.
You don't need some complicated conspiracy theory here anyway.
The economic conditions that allowed America's Golden Age were a direct result of WWII. The rest of the industrialized nations were bombed out wrecks that were missing literally millions, if not tens of millions, of working age young people. So the rebuilding of the worlds industrial base was done by the one advanced economy and industrial base that was still healthy. America's.
The post WWII boom ended about 25 years after the war. The nations of Europe had substantially rebuilt their industrial base and equally as important their populations had recovered. They now had enough 18-24 year olds to get lots of work done and America had competition again.
Which is pretty much how it was before WWI / WWII began. Yes men had some additional legal rights / privileges if they were wealthy and and had the correct skin color but everyone else was pretty much back to being plebs.
