Fuck these wormy faggots. They belong in the trash with the rest of the Fake News.

"Gay rights"

K. Show me a right you don't already have. I'll wait.

Show me a listing of a retail rig like that. I'll wait.

Not worth arguing about, but I tend to think something readily available off the shelf wouldn't look like that.

Look closer. Notice how it's built. That's a custom rig, likely military-rated, dust/crush/waterproof. Many of those rigs don't come with internal mics or cameras, as they're considered poor opsec.

FWIW, "up to the minute best gear" is often not applicable when the highest opsec is required.

No, they didn't. Apple "designed" a SoC which uses ARM, which -- in essence -- has the same blackbox functionality in TrustZone.

Apple "designed their own processors" to further trap people in their walled garden. More things done under contract "in-house" = more room for profit margins and less scrutiny. They can literally do whatever they want now, which was the point.

Still, good luck running any x86 software. And no, I don't mean Rosetta 2. I mean native code execution. And good luck getting any actual work done now that Apple has reduced their offerings to what are essentially tablets with nicer screens, assembled by the lowest bidder for maximum profit at the expense of their devotees.

Privilege escalation (which is what's required for unsigned code a la jailbreaking) is just one type of attack vector. Scrambling to lock you into a walled garden != patching CVEs that allow alphabet agencies unfettered access. WikiLeaks Vault 7 explains precisely what I'm talking about.

Spez: sorry for your feelings.

There are options besides Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon.

Once you fall down that hole you'll realize OpenWRT just won't do, either.

IMO Apple is the most trustworthy option in terms of privacy

LOL no.

Apple is a telemetry/privacy nightmare. The words "Apple" and "privacy" don't belong in the same sentence. They "refused" to help the FBI while reminding them -- behind closed doors -- that Apple (and Google) intentionally leave CVEs unpatched to provide alphabet agencies an attack surface. What you saw was a PR stunt.

MFW people realize that -- since 2009 -- every single Intel-based machine already has exactly what you're talking about: a ring -3 OOB coprocessor that can read and alter the entire contents of memory, framebuffers, network stack (it even has its own TCP/IP stack!), I/O & peripherals...

People are more than happy to run a blackbox for alphabet agencies because they don't have the balls to give up "muh convenience".

I've never been tested. I've never worn a mask. I've never taken a vaccine.

I'm not about to start now.

He still works behind the scenes, especially with Satya Nadella. He only left the chairman role of the board, he still holds a regular seat. This was done to ease investor apprehension. Make no mistake, Gates still works at Microsoft, just in a... more spook-like capacity with far less oversight or public attention.

No, they burn it. Do yourself a favor and read US Flag Code, and learn what flying the Union down actually means.
