Cozy Bear, classified by the United States federal government as advanced persistent threat APT29, is a Russian hacker group believed to be associated with one or more intelligence agencies of Russia. The Dutch General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD) deduced from security camera footage that it is led by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), a view shared by the United States.

And that's why we will never have peace in the middle east. Both sides argue for violence and both sides only conduct emotional responses.

Emotional responses don't lead to any solutions. Only reason will create a peaceful two state solution.

Really don't agree with this one. We have a broken system that the leading candidates in each party refuse to debate other contenders. Our "candidates" have been selected for us before the election has even gotten close.

Biden is too old and just a career politician that got to this point not because he was the right choice but because he got the right jobs. He had been vying for the presidency for at least 20 years before he got it. It just became his turn.

Additionally, he is not progressive just a populist. Just ask the railroad works that were told they can't strike because of a bill signed by Biden.

More information is here on some of the falsehoods of Biden being progressive when it relates to unions: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/may/02/joe-biden-is-no-friend-of-unions

Is that a Firefox issue or Google making proprietary standards that only work with chromium based browsers?

I think Google is trying to be anti competitive. I have noticed similar issues when using Firefox with Google Docs.

Take a look at what a former Mozilla exec had to say on the issue: https://www.zdnet.com/article/former-mozilla-exec-google-has-sabotaged-firefox-for-years/

True but in this case it's not populace deciding to make the food import ban, it's the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). They are using this opportunity to create a impact on Japan’s economy which is already struggling under the strain of inflation the country hasn't experienced in decades.

It is just political posturing and nothing else. Not out of concern for the Chinese people.

I really wish it had a 3.5mm audio jack. I don't see what companies stand to earn, other than money, when they remove the headphone jack.

I can see why Apple and Samsung removed it because the they can market their own wireless headphones.

Removing the jack only removes capability, it is not like older phones didn't have the capability to connect to Bluetooth headphones

According to former US and Japanese officials, the NSA discovered in the fall of 2020 that the PRC had persistent access to Japanese Defense Networks.

This prompted a bilateral engagement to enhance Japanese Network security.

Kind of scary to think about all the state hacking going on that hasn't yet been revealed.

 

The aftermath to the recent Microsoft Azure hack by suspected PRC actors.

What is the solution to this? Make sure cloud services are open source so they can be independently vetted? If government and corporate entities chose to use open source solutions, most are presented "as is" with no warranty.

Yeah the privacy issues are the largest concern.

However I think because consumers have become used to having cameras and microphones in their house it will likely not be addressed to the degree it needs to be.

 

What do you think are the biggest limitations to robots in the home? Privacy concerns, limited utility, inability to overcome simple obstacles, price or something else?

While true on the more likely to roll due to their higher center of gravity, unless they are lowered after purchased, I was surprised to find that at least for the f150, the roof strength is almost 6 times the weight of the truck.

That's according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety which is an independent review organization that gave the f150 one of its highest ratings.
