Not the original commenter but I'd wager similarly that yes, the vast majority of the American people are far too comfortable to venture into the "inconvenience" of an actual war. Gripe about it from our couches? Yep. Lift a finger to bring about actual change (and no, signing an online petition doesn't count) in the face of real, actual, severe consequence? ....nah.

I worry that we as a society have turned a corner and these kind of folks have been empowered to the point there's no going back. If they aren't latched into Trump, it'll just be the next DeSantis/Gaetz/MTG grifter they saddle up to.

How would a sham Supreme Court judge be removed? I know there was talk of impeaching them but... is that actually a thing?

Digital Cinema Package; basically the movie file you're watching when you're in a movie theater.

That's some RFC 2549 logic, right there.

I, too, am a John Stewart connoisseur!

Bottom line, there's always a possibility a cloud/service provider could lose you data. That chance is (/should be) exponentially smaller on their environments however than the likelihood of your own local stores.

If you're really serious about preserving your data, consider the 3-2-1 Backup Rule:

3 copies of your data 2 different types of media 1 copy stored off-site

Nothing replaces common sense, but I've been using ESET for years now and have been really happy. Just the AV mind you, none of the other security suite bs.

His excuse was some bs about, "companies should be allowed to decide for themselves without having the government mandate it for them".

This, from the same guy who wants the government to decide what aspects of history schools can and cannot teach, or what books libraries can and cannot include.

Very consistent, Ronny.

They held one last year under the shadow of the Microsoft acquisition - granted, it wasn't official yet, but friggin Phil Spencer showed up bc everyone knew it was going to go through - so I don't think it's explicitly Microsoft interfering. This feels more like the realization that, like last year, they don't have that much exciting content to hype right now. They already milked their 3-part WoW xpac news dry, all they've got left is.. Diablo season 4 or the seasonal new Overwatch character? Can't build a convention around that.
