Actually, OP is referring to Samuel It's, a famous product reviewer who makes many claims.

I'm 99% sure there are laws that specifically protect politicians from having their information exposed.

As if surrounding yourself in an echo chamber of sycophants is the better solution. It sure works well for MAGA folks.

The only Dem I know who even bothers to talk about this stuff is our local senator Ron Wyden. Apart from that, most seem satisfied with the status quo.

There's a hidden skill in there that allows you to filter out the bullshit/scam/unhelpful solutions and zero in on the helpful, legitimate stuff.

Pretty sure cops use this everywhere to violate people's 1st Amendment rights.

So to get big, I need to buy one of those 1960s machines with the rubber belt that goes around your waist and shakes you back and forth? No wonder I haven't been seeing those gains.

Companies still seem to think it's the COVID era where they could tack on an extra $20k to the price of a car and people will still buy it and not an era where prime interest rates are near double digits after years of high inflation. As we're seeing with Stellantis, cars are sitting on lots much longer with no buyers. They've already started layoffs and I expect we'll see it with other companies (along with lower prices and better incentives) soon too.

Even if that's the case, how is it Crowdstrike's place to call these other companies out for claiming something similar will never happen to them? Thus far, it had only ever happened to CS.

Isn't that why they wear the white uniforms, since it blends in better?

The first part I'm sure about because I had to create a bookmark of a line of javascript that would bypass the on-screen keyboard and allow you to autofill the password. It was sometime in the last 3 or 4 years that they finally joined the 1990s and updated it

it doesn’t cost that much more to make a bigger, more expensive than a smaller and cheaper one. But they can charge you a lot more for the former, which makes this a game of profit margins and not just profits.

This is also why cars are loaded with electronics now. They're high margin add-ons to inflate the value of the car with little cost.
