I think they missed an opportunity here to quantify the background levels of Russian cyberattacks. On a typical day in a western corporate network probably 40% of the crap in your honey pots comes from China and 35-40% come from Russia or B

What is right? To enable russia to commit war crimes with western technology? Why is the sentiment "poor russia, they are victims." They have no supply chain integrity. Embarrassing logistics failures. Critically corrupt governmen

So Russian companies should get to run windows domains for free because Microsoft won't sell them licenses and the government condones software piracy? But American companies still have to buy server licenses, client licenses, desktop&

I usually start off with a YT video or three. Simply because someone has done the same work and can give you tips to make it easier. Sometimes you need to start disassembling further away than is obvious. Like on 1997 Pathfinder the headlig

DIY whenever possible. You wind up paying for the cost of a lot of tools, but the more you do yourself the bigger your toolbox and the cheaper the job gets next time. Quality tools are worth it, but there is a fine line. Snap-On for example

Let's consider an airline. A quick Google search reveals that 6% of pilots are female and 76% of flight attendants are female. If that is true then the bot isn't really an accurate representation of gender pay disparity as much as

I can't see it happening. Then again I am in America where very little gets imported from Russia and even less in terms of consumer goods. European markets will probably be hit harder but its nothing China won't gladly compensate.

Why is there seemingly no fight from Russians? In America if 13,000 people show up to a protest and the police start beating them up; the police station gets burned down. Maybe that's why protesting is more effective for us.
