U.S. takes 10% stake in Intel as Trump flexes more power over big business

Further, he killed all trust in Intel. Now, no one will believe that there are no government back doors into everything they make.

Also, a live performance in front of a hostile audience has special challenges.

Sovereign citizen tried to keep a rental car.
This one seems to exceed some threshold for me. The ones that try to buy cars with nonexistent money are bad, but sort of pass as misguided. But this seems like premeditated theft. He went to a rental agency, intending to keep it.

Say Goodbye to the Internet as We Know It
I've already said goodbye to "the internet" 3 times. Social media destroyed web 2.0, which destroyed the original web, which destroyed the original Usenet and telnet internet.

What is the worst IT setup you have seen at a company?
My current job.
Many SQL servers use scripts that run as domain administrator. With the password hard coded in.
Several of the various servers are very old. W2K, 2003, 2008. SQL server, too.
Several of the users run reports via rdp to the SQL server - logging in as domain admin.
Codebase is a mashup of various dev tools: .net, asp, Java, etc.
Fax server software vendor has been out of business for a decade. Server hardware is 20 years old. Telecom for fax is a channelized PRI carrying POTS - and multiport modem cards.
About a 3rd of the ethernet runs in the office have failed.
Office pcs are static IP. Boss says that's more secure.
We process money to/from the Fed.

Roger Stone Caught on Tape Discussing Trump’s Plan to Challenge 2024 Election
I get fundraising texts occasionally. I don't know why. But the one that came on the heels of the conviction had a section of fine print declaring what the money was for. It included a "recount challenge fund". This is in the open.

‘Cost Me the Election’: Data Centers Trigger Voter Backlash
I can't wait until this legitimate concern over environmental issues meets up with the reality on the ground.
I work at a DC. We have closed-loop water cooling. We have the same amount of water as a single residential swimming pool in our pipes. It is RO, de-ionized and hyper pure, purchased and brought by a tanker truck. It was filled once, more than a year ago and no more has been "used" since. The toilets use far more water than the servers.
Other companies DO abuse the environment. We would welcome legislation requiring this practice (and others) to make it a level field. There is no need for any DC to behave badly.

It sounds like a great idea sovcit.

I agree. This poor schlub did a Google search ("no license or birth certificate") and a bunch of sovcit pages popped up. It's an example of why this shit is toxic to people in general.

It is inspiring.
But I really wish we'd step up here on the East Coast. NY, MA, NJ, VT. All should be right out in front with you, but aren't.
