It's an even dumber take to insist that things can only be done if they are done perfectly.

Whew. I was afraid we *weren't* going to inject politics into every fucking thread.

... if you trust pseudonymous Internet randos over the US intelligence community and DoD, at least.

These clouds have multiple layers of security, several of which reduce the likelihood that someone will install an interposer in a server undetected. (Or, in the case of the Wiretap photo, job up a logic analyzer to a compromised server.) Cloud vendors are also likely to have moved quicker to DDR5, which isn't vulnerable to either of these attacks.

That's a dumb take. The US has been writing cloud computing contracts for TOP SECRET content for years, to say nothing of public web sites. Australia and New Zealand have specific infosec guidance (their Information Security Manuals) that not only recommend particular controls when using cloud vendors, but that encourage use of cloud vendors, CDNs, and similar services to improve availability of government-provided information and services.

Everyone should have contingency plans and fallback capabilities, but there are lots of places that cloud services make sense.

Why? Why would Trump give the faintest shit where the shuttle is?

Let's look at your reasoning:
"Something happened I don't like. The people who said they did it, who claim to have done it, who asked for it...DIDN'T REALLY DO IT. IT WAS THAT ORANGE BOGEYMAN UNDER MY BED!"
"Can you prove it"
"No, but I CAN IMAGINE IT! See? OBVIOUS."

Get some help, man.

What you call the 'endless stream of right wing media' for the last 40 years ... well first, get your history straight: it started in the 90s with Rush Limbaugh et al AM radio. Not 40 years, more like 30. If you have that basic fact wrong, I assume you're too young to have lived it and are reading it from somewhere.

Fox News started broadcasting in 1996 and really skewed right later (99?) as Right Wing radio (Limbaugh, Beck etc) identified a commercially viable audience that was completely unserved.

Limbaugh and what followed was ABSOLUTELY a reaction to the strongly left bias of the media which became evident with the election of Ronald Reagan, but really was clear during the Senate Confirmation hearing of Justice Bork. Media was always assumed to be at least slightly left (which was accepted) with a weirdo fringe of further leftism mostly around the arts. But in 1980 the Dems thought Nixon's shit had guaranteed them at least 20 years of government control and were incensed that Carter was such a milquetoast that he got humiliated by Reagan, and Mondale even worse.

Nothing makes liberals more angry than to be compelled to face the fact that they're unliked. (cf Trump 2016, Trump 2024 responses and resulting vitriol.) In the 12d after Trump took office in 2016, there were 12000 tweets threatening his life on Twitter (https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Farticle%2Fthreatening-posts-secret-service). I mean you guys have tried on him twice already in the 1st 9 months.

I don't really forgive you. You guys thought you owned the world and could do whatever the fuck you wanted - bring in 3 million immigrants and then make them voters? SURE.
Biden *actually* tried to undercut democracy, we don't have to pretend-imagine 'Trump's future concentration camps' or other goofy ideas.

1) based on what? Democrats (ie the LEFT, dumbass) have been behind every college appropriations budget scheme since 1976. Blocked for a long time, are you stupid? Let's look at the last 50 years: (https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.spokesman.com%2Fstories%2F2020%2Fjun%2F25%2Fcontrol-house-and-senate-1900%2F) 23 congressional sessions x2 houses. 46 opportunities to control one house or the other. Dems control 13/23 in the house, 13/23 of the senate. 9/23 dems control BOTH HOUSE and SENATE vs 7 for GOP. IN return the GOP has the slight advantage in presidential terms (ie...it's been balanced)
2) Yes, of course, colleges are a disaster and it all happened just in the last 9 months. Are you just stupid or are your parents that closely related? Nature or nurture or both?
3) so it's just that you support Hamas too. Cool. Not really refuting my point, tho. I have plenty of objections to Israeli policy but NOT ONE BOMB would have fallen on Gaza if they didn't attack Oct 7.
4) Nope, nazis don't get to speak. Nor conservatives. Nor Jews. Did you miss how 2020-2024 all of social media was basically just doing what Biden's gov't wanted?
5) oh, so racism is fine as long as it's paying people back for shit they (themselves) didn't do? So...when does it end? What's the PRECISE metric that means we can stop judging people by race, sex, etc? When there's a black president? When a majority of the people going to college are female? You idiot, racism IS RACISM, pure and simple.

The only reason you're angry now is that the police state of leftism that was built during covid is being dismantled.

When their main industry seems to be allowing immigrants to come as fast as they can, stay as long as they like, and then genuflect the entire rule of law to the immigrants...Britain is done.

You can wave any sexual-orientation flag. - protected
You can wave the Hamas flag. - protected
You get arrested for waving the British flag.

^that's insanity.

Does anyone believe "... reduce the operating system's footprint... " matters even slightly to MS?

So what's the real reason here? Users had too much access/control?

... The very concept that an adult needs a warning before being conditioned by something uncomfortable is *fundamentally asinine*.

If it's something that shouldn't be engaged with by children, then it's what we used to call "adult content" and we don't let young people consume it.

Next: how water is wet and the sun comes up in the east.

Amazon cares, apparently. But without sideloading, and with apologies to the typo in the headline here... what happens on Vega, stays in Vega.

Yes, CERTAINLY it's that Big Orange Monster in your TDS Nightmares.

1) It's not that they opportunized 40 years of gov't largesse to increase college costs 5x the rate of inflation.
2) It's not that they've become little more than monocultural ideological cesspools of indoctrination (that started in the 1980s too fwiw).
3) It's not that they openly endorse terror organizations like Hamas, or openly threaten the lives of Jewish students on their campuses.
4) It's not that they aggressively curtail free speech that doesn't conform with #2
5) it's not that they are actively, openly racist in their admissions policies
6) it's certainly not that they've been guzzling federal taxpayer dollars despite having endowments in the $billions. ...yes, by all means, it's some dumbfuck loudmouth that only became president in January.

Are you just stupid or is it the TDS talking?

Literally, in the story AND THE OP:
"...The relocation, pushed by Texas senators Cornyn and Cruz"

This isn't the big Orange Monster that haunts your every nightmare.

This is garden-variety senatorial pork (and pretty much a stupid idea, imo).

My god you people need to step away from the internet once in a while (and maybe not shoot folks when you do).

1) "don't crash"
2) TBA
