It is always projection. There have been previous Republican voters fraud cases in the last election(s).

At least it's an easy alert for what problems to look for. If they're declaring "the other guys" are doing something, they're already doing it themselves.

They will likely revamp the process. The problem is, once the ballot is counted, the vote is separated from the voter, so there's no link to who the person was and who they voted for.

It's a process meant for privacy. That someone was able to accurately forge signatures enough to pass verification (which is handled by trained humans) is a bit on the "this was creepy/planned" side, which is likely how the outlier event happened.

America isn't there yet, but cryptographic hashes anonymizing but connecting a vote to a voter, so the vote could be anonymously recalled for an attack like this would likely be the best privacy-preserving process.

I now know what that actually is, and would also like to watch it. Games are so terribly slow with never-ending commercial breaks.

The time of reckless software really has to end. They will bemoan that it "stifles" innovation, but so much damage has resulted from irresponsible software just in the last couple of decades.

We humans used to be technologically limited by how fast we could innovate. Not enough RAM or CPU or a sensor didnt exist. There is no technological throttle anymore, we need to govern one.

Everything mobile manufacturers have done since smartphones finally became popular in 2007 seemed like temporary solutions due to moving so fast. It's clear now that it was all an attempt to paradigm-shift compute into leased property.

It really needs to end, along with the terrible disposable hardware designs. Even if we were not in a climate crisis, it is about as bad as the US was in the 1950s throwing trash everywhere.

On some level, especially now, want to find an alarm clock or an mp3 player or even a camera? It's getting harder and harder. Old phones with their battery removed or replaced are perfect for those roles.

Qualcomm product toolchains have been a right mess. Oddly less malicious and more, "we move too fast and branch too many platforms," historically making long-term maintenance a nightmare.

Good to see them improving that, finally.

I think I used my toaster 7 or 8 years ago?

The way these food audit and recall processes work, it could very well be the JDS beef processing facility in Greely that mistreats it's workers for all we will ever know.

There is always such a lack of transparency in the public information surrounding these food poisoning events, so as to not harm our precious corporations. They just paint a narrative that looks real enough, round the recall number to something arbitrary, and call it good.

Yeah, it always seemed like a lazy republicapitalist move. Why ever sell out so much security to a vague third party. They have smart people, mad respect to their engineers. No question. But national security being sold to a third party seems like nation-state safety 101.

To add on to what others have already said, Israel also supplies the US with a lot of advanced technology and biotechnology. All the cellbrite scanners used to hack into phones come from them, medical equipment like sleep study equipment, drugs, and other things.

Although it seems an area that would be good to just bring in house for national defense in the event a partner nation goes rogue.

China's always dicking around in space, really wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a "test" gone "wrong". Doubt we'll know the truth anytime soon.

Less than half. Roughly 1/3 voted for the orange plump ball in the last election. There will be less now, as many factions are seeing through his lies finally, even evangelicals.

The evil isn't as big as it looks, it's just loud.
