Sure, any public facing system is theoretically vulnerable given infinite monkeys. What I don't understand is why this data wasn't airgapped. I've spoken with enough colleagues in defence to know that plenty of facilities do

I bought a RS7000 from eBay and it arrived with the pots completely gummed up with second hand cheeba resin. I did not lick them, perhaps missing out on a mystical jamming buff.

The trick is to designate one screen as "main" and keep it centered to view. Then have a secondary screen for notes, email etc off to one side, generally opposite to your mouse hand.

In the late 90s Oz universities generally gave their students email via Pine plus a 10mb web folder as standard. Many STEM students made random websites about their hobbies or poetry or whatever. It was like a proto Geocities.

Undertesting might make the severe cases look more dangerous, but the media focus right now is "flattening the curve". By under-reporting the number of active cases, politicians can push for earlier reopening. The risk is that unt

Turn the camera off after introductions, then only turn it back on when you want to make an important point or the convo is about a very specific work item related to you. If someone complains, you can say you don't want to clutter up
