The ADL really started this up with their ā€œawkward gestureā€ bullshit. How did we get to a place where we donā€™t just call a Nazi salute a Nazi salute??
comment in response to post
Well because theyā€™re terrified of Trump and his lackeys turning on them which basically is guaranteed to kick them out of office. And probably afraid of violence. This is all so ridiculously backwards.

Didnā€™t she vote for this madness? I just put my violin away but Iā€™ll get it back out for her if she wants.

Depends on who is president, I guess? šŸ¤”

Would be a game changer for the state we just need to go faster. Thanks for your efforts on this.

Bannonā€™s just pissed heā€™s not Trumpā€™s number 1 guy anymore. Heā€™d just as happily do the same shit given the chance.

Itā€™s simply fascinating to me how gas and egg prices were front page news almost daily and after January 20th those concerns seem to not exist anymore. šŸ¤”

Whatā€™s sad is people believe him.

Definitely stealing that one. Brilliant.

Googling was a real skill for a time. I have no doubt prompt engineering will be big business for awhile too.

There will be no battle. Heā€™ll just jam Grok in there unilaterally.

Invaluable for the safety of aircraft too.

I love how McConnell, a decade too late, has realized what heā€™s done. I hope that bed is comfy, Mitch!

Mitch created this monster and canā€™t control him. Where is my violin?

Works for Apple Maps too!

Suddenly theyā€™ve never heard of appeals? Jfc

Thank you for doing the good work.

Theyā€¦ā€¦ they donā€™t know what doxxing is, do they?

Soros has a media group that is invested in/rescued Audacy.

There are always vulnerabilities. Itā€™s always a balance between urgency, effort, likelihood, etc. Why did Georgia drag their feet? No idea. Itā€™s not relevant, though and it just gives people fuel for the voter fraud fire which _does not exist_. We want people to vote!

This is different from hacking the machine. This requires intercepting the receipts, replacing them with new ones (or reading the existing ones and printing new ones). Can it be done? Sure. Is it likely in the real world? No. Hackers do this all the time: find these flaws to tighten things down.
comment in response to post
Sigh. No. ā€œWhen Halderman examined these machines after a federal court granted him access in 2020, he found that it was possible for a hacker to change the votes encoded in the barcode, even without physical access to the machines.ā€ This means a nefarious party can print new receipts & barcodes.
comment in response to post
Itā€™s not real. Stop pulling this pointless thread and focus on whatā€™s actually happening. A nationwide, _remote_ hack just isnā€™t feasible, which is what youā€™re talking about. Can a machine be vulnerable? Sure. All (or a lot) of them, all physically compromised, nationwide? No.
comment in response to post
What? The first amendment warriors are trying to censor speech? Shocked. At least KCBS is owned by Audacy, part of Soroā€™s umbrella. Theyā€™ll hold firm, I think.

But do they do the beep-beep??

Wasnā€™t a commentary on an individual or group. Just pointing out you can see for yourself what the hack is and what it does.

I donā€™t know if it helps or hurts but DEFCON puts all of their talks up on YouTube for free. You can see the scope, method, etc. Many of these talks are hypothetical and are intended to increase security, not reduce it. youtube.com/@defconconfe...

By ā€œpeopleā€ I mean Democrats. Protest votes were common because who would re-elect Trump? Let them feel the pain a bit. I feel like itā€™s the only way theyā€™ll learn that not voting is a vote for the tyrant.
comment in response to post
I do this for a living. Itā€™s not real. Can you hack them? Sure, itā€™s been shown. Can you hack them remotely? No. Did the companies fix the demonstrated hacks? Yes. Youā€™re watching too many hacker TV shows. The real world doesnā€™t work that way.
comment in response to post
Demonstrating a hack at a hacker conference is different than hacking voting machines nationwide. This isnā€™t real. Youā€™re falling into the same rabbit hole they did in 2020. The only real difference between 2020 & 2024 was disenfranchisement of voters but we would have easily won if people voted.
comment in response to post
We have to stop with the fraudulent election nonsense. He won. He won because people didnā€™t vote. The more you undermine our election integrity, the more he wins. Let them feel the consequences for the next year or so and then whip them into a blue wave for the mid-terms.

Done weeks ago. Bezos watching Musk do a Nazi salute and then party with him afterwards as if it was nothingā€¦ Nope! Slowly yanking my stuff out of their cloud, too.
comment in response to post
Frankly, he lost me when he bought Twitter for $55B and declared two weeks later it needed a ā€œfull rewrite.ā€ Iā€™ve never seen or heard something so stupid in my life and Iā€™ve been living Silicon Valley for almost 30 years now.

Oh Iā€™m firmly in the fuck Mitch camp but what a bizarre world we live in where an octogenarian falling down the stairs is comic relief for the world around us.

What a relief, really. Iā€™m watching the world around me wondering what the fuck happened. Good to know Iā€™m just imaginary.
comment in response to post
I remember when Clinton used an unsecured email server and it was the ā€œbiggest scandal in American history.ā€ They have zero credibility at this point.

lol take your damn heart. Youā€™re so right.

Doinā€™ it right, imo

Iā€™m sure once the USAID funding stops we will all go away. Obviously. Idk what dimension these folks live in but it isnā€™t this one.
comment in response to post
Well as long as heā€™s doing it personally we are probably fine. Just tell him we have cut costs 50% and moved the timeline up by four years. He declares victory and goes away. Win win.

Well until Kushner can build condos they canā€™t afford, you see.
