Warner is chairman of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee and a former venture capitalist who bet big on telecom in the 1980s and 90s, making him uniquely qualified to talk about threats to U.S. communications infrastructure.

More like uniquely qualified to take advantage of panic funding that he's trying to create.

All the major U.S. carriers, including AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile, were impacted, according to the Post. Incredibly, Warner says the hackers are still inside the U.S. system and there’s no obvious way to get them out that doesn’t involve physically replacing old equipment, according to Warner.

Huh how convenient

The hackers behind the infiltration of U.S. telecom infrastructure are known to Western intelligence agencies as Salt Typhoon

What's great about this hacking fiction is that there's essentially no physical evidence. It's "just try us bro, we wouldn't lie for war and profit"

I expect this to ramp up significantly since there's no actual aggression coming out of China they could point to.

They will send in mercs and troops and draftees. The US will fight Russia to the last European.

The world has changed grandpa. China is a superpower, Iran is a major regional power and Brazil has a lot of attractive people.

“And when I was vice president, things were kind of bad during the pandemic,” Biden said. “And what happened was, Barack said to me, ‘Go to Detroit, and help fix it.’ Well the poor mayor, he spent more time with me than he thought he was ever going to have to. God love you.”

Biden was referring to Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, who took office while Biden was still VP back in 2014.

It sounds like he could only be referring to 2014 and later then? I.e. not swine flu.

More like he "was there" first which "makes" it his boulder and his hill, so he hires gig workers to roll the boulder, doing nothing but pocketing most of the value of the work, while the workers are barely paid a subsistence wage.

It thinks it's people.

Or maybe this is the UK. I constantly see cars driving on segregated paths and parking illegally and nobody cares.

Not sure what this has to do with technology.

I've tried GNOME 45 extensively and I just don't see how it's better.

Even looking at the screenshots I don't understand how GNOME 45 is better than GNOME 2. It doesn't even LOOK better. You need extensions to get basic functionality like a window list and tray icons.

Then there's the bad parts, like every window now has different decorations, doesn't work with nvidia, etc.

There's nothing wrong with angryposting, but it needs a kernel of truth which this is missing.

I've configured something like this in FVWM2 a long time ago. It was neat for a few hours, but I don't really see the benefit over regular virtual workspaces.

in i3 I already switch workspaces with mouse wheel on the status bar, which is super easy and seems easier panning around with a mouse.

Imagine thinking that US and European manufacturing is so advanced/magical that China "The World Factory" can't figure it out

In ten years they're going to have global companies competing with Intel, AMD, Arm and Nvidia.
