Hey now that would only be 15ish cents of 2020 money. Better spend that now before it’s only worth 50% of what it’s worth currently.

Baggy means cargo pants and moar pockets. Yesssss. Also don’t forget about the mid-phase between the two: bell-bottoms and boot cuts. I forget when they show up but I feel like we are due soon…

Yeah malware is everywhere - This could simply be a product of an individual actor abusing their position in a supply chain… but this also goes for hardware as well. It is certainly a more difficult vector to attack from but due to its ‘level’ it’s a valuable position to compromise.

Can’t wait until this spurs the security community into doing a deep look at the roms on these cheap Chinese boards. Yeah the malware was caught - but what’s more important is the intent. This is a country that is constantly behind breaches and botnets… and here we have these PCs being marketed as router replacents and mini servers. It doesn’t take much to figure out that this is free back door territory.

technically correct is the best correct.

Reality is and always should have been cops do cop things. Locally. Traffic shit should be department of transportation. etc. etc.

Make local cops walk local beats and only focus on the community safety and suddenly things get better. ‘Us vs Them’ is a pretty easy thing to spin when they only are a corrective force with a chip on their shoulder.

Proper training, education, and being held accountable for your actions will filter out the bad blood quickly enough.

Defund is frankly a word that was selected poorly. It implies punishment. It only amplifies the ‘Us vs Them’ narrative on both ‘sides.’

ACAB? No. Problem with corruption and a system that spits out at best tight lipped accomplices and at worst zealots brandishing ‘might makes right’ ideals? Yep.

Fix the system and the problem fixes itself.
