What makes you think this farce of an operation will be successful in any manner that benefits the USA? From where I'm sitting, the USA already lost, it's just a matter of how badly bruised they are when they leave the fight. The

Hand out pamphlets at the voting station with your name and, "I'll get Flock cameras removed." That's probably all you need to do. It depends on where you live, but some local offices are decided by as little as a few d

GDPR compliance is good IT practice. It's easy to do, good for users, and states are rolling out similar laws. But now, instead of their story being read by people all over the world, having gone viral, it's just going to pirated

I wish my company would do this. A coworker pulled an all nighter before a vacation and just left me with a million line claude summary of their work then just fucked off. The message was two-part due to size and lacked basic stuff like,

Realistically, how many viewers will be retained should YT shut the OP down? Right now, that number rounds to 0. Practically speaking, YT is free internet video streaming for long-form videos on the US market. Nobody is going to go to OP&#

You can doubt this. But the fact is, the Xbox One was secure for it's entire operational life without a crack. And the Series X/S has held up as well. It's completely possible that future consoles are secure enough that the
