They could use cellular modems (the locomotives already have one, normally) or LoRaWAN

The answer to a hyper-localized security issue isn't attaching the equipment to an insecure network nor is it shifting to use insecure IoT type devices.

Takes as in seizes

I think you've forgotten that the means of production is supposed to be seized by the proletariat, not by the bourgeoisie using their illegitimate government.

You can blame Reagan for a lot of things but not this and frankly even if it somehow was all his fault the Clinton Administration could have undone it.

The economy was already in trouble by the end of Lyndon Johnson's final term in 1969. The Nixon Administration implemented some large changes trying to fix it but was unsuccessful. The Carter Administration also tried with very limited success. It wasn't until the 1st Rise of Tech in the 80s during the Reagan Administration that things managed to get moving again. The Clinton Administration caught a lucky break with the 2nd Rise of Tech in the 90s so the streak got extended to right about 2001.

The amusing part is that Johnson, Nixon, and Carter bear no blame for the economic woes while Reagan and Clinton deserve no credit for the economic successes. They just happened to be the guy in the Oval when things happened.

Its a good chunk of the reason that everyone from Wall Street to the US Federal Government is trying so damn hard to make AI happen. They want a 3rd Rise of Tech, or something like it, in order to re-float the economy.

The idea of DfP has been around for over 15 years but its only recently become possible outside of a laboratory environment. It isn't in HA yet because no one has bothered to write a module for it and there's almost no WiFi gear that supports it; either natively or through exposing the data necessary to make it work.

the difference is that the united states ONLY takes from the poor

Objectively and provably untrue.

Helion is saying 2028 for their first 50MW plant.

He thought Biden was fine

Yeah, that's a problem. He's either total shit at his job or his hypocrisy is on full display. It's not a good look either way.

Believing the corporate news sewers are going to do the right thing is very sad.

FTFY. As you correctly note further down all decisions are driven by ratings.

They are the "Jack Booted Government Thugs" that the NRA was yelling about 30 years ago. Literally, it was May of 1995. They were reacting to the spate of violent government actions against people of their community. Since then the NRA has been corrupted, gutted, and finally crushed by the very Government it used to rail against.

Democrats cheered it on while they worked overtime to leave half the country powerless to actually resist the Tyranny they claim to fear. I say claim because they're still at it right now, today, which is something that no one who was truly fearful would do.

The situation we are in is a reminder of why American's traditionally didn't trust Government and most especially overly power Federal Government.

It may read like it but this is not directed at you personally. It's directed at the wider universe of anti-gun liberals who've started crawling out of the woodwork to ask the same question you did and my reply is a snapshot of the overwhelming aggravation that many 2A people feel when hearing it.

Where the gun people?

It's California, there aren't that many "Gun People" around. California has doubled, tripled, and quadrupled down to make sure that their populace is absolutely as disarmed as possible. In fact nearly every god damned city that is having these kinds of ICE Raids is located in a State that's done the same thing. New York City, Chicago, Portland, and Denver are just a few examples.

Add onto that these kinds of immigrants can't legally purchase firearms so they're unable to do it themselves or even create Community / Mutual Aid situations and to make it worse they are living in ethnic enclaves so there's no regular citizens around to help.

The next question is likely to be "Okay, so where's all the 2A freaks from everywhere else?" and the answer to that is...how the fuck are they supposed to know when ICE is going to raid a place? Especially if that place is in another Town, County, or even State?

After that its usually something like "Well these Gun Nuts should just start countering ICE wherever they find them and not wait for a specific situation.".

The Anti-Government 2A people you are asking about tried 5 years ago and the same people who are today asking "Where the gun people?" wanted absolutely fucking nothing to do with them.

It happened back in 2020 and no one wanted to help. (Those guys received massive prison sentences by the way.) The Boogaloo Boys in general, and those two specifically, were then widely criticized for their actions even in minority and immigrant communities.

Hell the NRA is still being mocked for its Anti-Government / Pro 2A stance from thirty years ago!

Short sighted idiots cheer while Government disarms its citizens and they strongly back any law or movement intended to disarm them more and faster. Then when some people who are still armed go after Government Thugs they make it a point to shit on them while wishing them a quick journey to hell.

Then these same idiots have the absolute audacity to ask "Where are they?". It's the wrong people asking the wrong question.

The correct questions are "Where the fuck has everyone else been for the last 30 years?" followed by "Why the fuck should we help you now?" and the correct questioners the Anti-Government Gun Owners.

You absolutely do. My Brother in Law recently contracted shingles and it was awful.

Meh, unlikely. Gen X doesn't have the sheer numbers to drive and sustain culture. The Boomers number something like 74,000,000 and Millennials are around 83,500,000. Meanwhile Gen X only has about 49,000,000 so we're sandwiched between two Generations that are nearly double our size.

I know I'm swimming upstream by saying this but there's nothing wrong with using AI at an MSP. It can be pretty helpful with scripting in powershell and bash, and it's a great aid for documentation and training if you follow the "Camcorder Method".

As for EDR if they can't sell that in 2025 then it's time to look for another employer. It's nearly a checkbox item just like Managed Anti-Virus was back in the 2010s.

For example, I’ve noticed that some websites start throwing captchas at me or even just straight-up refuse to load with 403: unauthorized errors because I have my router set up to load-balance across two Internet connections. (At least, that’s my guess as to why it’s happening.)

I maintain several multi-wan commercial setups and they don't have this problem. I obviously don't know what your setup is but I'd guess something is wrong with how its handling flows / connections. Once a connection is established between your edge and an internet resource that flow should remain "stuck" to whatever wan port it started with and it sounds like that isn't happening.

On the other hand the 1970s car was a giant hunk of shit that went to the crusher decades ago and the 2020s appliance is using 1/4th the electricity and 1/2 the water of something built in the 2000s.

I'm old enough to remember the 1970s cars and with some exceptions they sucked.; they were slow, heavy, smelly, and dangerous. I also have a 2 year old combo laundry machine (Washer + Dryer) with a built in heat pump that is freaking amazing.

Both nostalgia and survivorship biases are real.

With the rise of game streaming services like Xbox Cloud Gaming and Amazon Luna I predict that the console market is basically over. I honestly don’t expect Microsoft to release another console and if Sony does it’s almost certain to be the last. Nintendo may stick with it longer since they just released the Switch2 but they seem to be prepping for it with the digital key thing.

It sucks for the players but it makes fiscal sense for the Publishers and Console Makers (Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo) if there is an industry wide pivot to game streaming where players are required to pay every month. I know that some games don’t lend themselves well to this, yet, but it’s blatantly obvious (at least to me) that this is where the industry is headed.

We’ve already reached the end of “Console Exclusive” games and I think what comes next is “Streaming Platform Exclusive” games. I think what comes after that is the Publishers establishing their own Streaming Platforms for their own games.

This is precisely what has happened with the rest of the entertainment industry and there’s no reason I can see for gaming, which is a subset of that same industry, to do anything else now that the streaming technology exists.

Steam and GOG will end up pushed out of the market or they will also become Streaming Platforms, just ones that cater to a different set of players.

This article has nothing to do with the United States and did not need a US centric comment.

Australia got the criminals while America got the prudes.

Eh, you're assigning an awful lot of malice with no real reason. A smartphone manufacturer already has access to the kind of data exposed in this attack, regardless of whether the headphones were hooked up with wires or bluetooth.

Samsung, Apple, Xaomi, Huwaei or whoever else doesn't need some stupid BT vulnerability to know what attached devices like headphone are up too. They already have root level access to the phones hardware.

Fascists can create

We really need to get over this idea that it's only "fascists" using AI to push their ideology. In 2025 you'd be hard pressed to find any National Government, Political Party, or Ideologically based group who is not using a metric fuckton of AI bots to distribute AIGen content in an attempt to sway elections and opinions. The IPIE report on this makes it quite plain that at least 80% of elections worldwide had problems with this in 2024.

At this point blaming this solely on "Fascists" is wilful blindness and a clear indicator that someone is either living in a bubble of single-sided information or is an ideologue themselves.
