>> nations including the USA and UK have declared it an unacceptable risk to national security.
No. The USA was losing market share. It then leant on its 'allies' and the UK went from finding no backdoors in Huawei source code to finding it unacceptable anyway.
If the USA was serious about national security it would rip and replace Cisco.
I think there are good reasons for making an online version of LO. If you *really* want to promote LO as an alternative to MS Office to businesses, you need it these days. It's disjointed to say use 'this' on the desktop, and 'that' online. I have no idea how many documents are created in Google Docs, but I bet it's billions.
When I choose a figurehead for something you will be able to critique that.
Anyone who apologises for a slaver owner and slave trader needs to examine their moral compass.
And stop trying to divert from this. The responders to my original criticism are the ones who didn't respond appropriately. If you look at my original post you will see the words: Pick somebody else. Because Franklin is not a good example of somebody who stood up for human rights. He was a hypocrite.
Awww shucks. I owned some slaves. For years and years. But let me write some bollocks about freedom. Hmmm.
Sure, I've made mistakes in my life. That doesn't include owning slaves.
Why do some people keep trying to soften this crime against humanity? Franklin was a hypocrite. There are plenty of people who never owned slaves, so why not have one of them as a figurehead?
Benjamin Franklin and 'human rights' do not belong in the same sentence. He was a slave owner who made a lot of money owning and trading kidnapped persons.
Why do Americans keep holding up this slave trader as some kind of defender of human rights when he was so clearly not?
Pick somebody else.
I used to buy the FreeBSD CDs back in the day. I still have some knocking around for posterity.
They have identified that 82% of downloads come from < 1% of IPs. The IPs no doubt move around, but mostly come from AWS, Google, and Azure. Bandwidth throttle the whole networks.
>> The next wave of smartphones and PCs will have less memory and fewer capabilities, yet are likely to cost consumers 14 percent more
Smaller, yet more expensive.
Maybe these less capable phones will make people realise they don't need a new phone every year. I expect the iMob will say say less is more.
Some people need to go to business school.
Profit is not about 'need'. It is about amount. It doesn't matter if it's your locally Greggs of Nvidia. Both can run at just above break even, or both can try to maximise profits. Investors don't say: we have made enough. They ask: why didn't we make more?
I'm enjoying this. 25% of nothing is nothing.
>> protecting the UK
1. Rip and replace all Cisco equipment. It is full of backdoors and security bypasses.
2. Do not use MS, Google, Anthropic, etc. This is giving the American regime access to data which should be considered national security.
>> deep understanding of cloud security
3. You mean cloud insecurity. Don't use it.
None of my recommendations would be accepted. This is a box ticking job for a low grade techie who talks the talk.
Rip and replace all Cisco equipment. They are a never ending series of backdoors, bypasses, and insecurities.
Isn't is interesting: Cisco Talos tracks the latest insecurity since (at least) 2023. Yet only now is it revealed.
A more sanguine reporter might ask Cisco: Why have you kept silent about this for over two years?
My guess is the American regime was using this was hacking around the world, and Cisco kept quiet about it.
You need to understand the American way: Other countries, let's take China, has an 'AI' company linked to the Chinese military. USA: Ooooh, that's bad. It must be banned immediately for 'national security' reasons.
An American company does the same. America: It's all within the (American) law.
The utter hypocrisy from the American regime is vomit inducing.
That is correct. But... coupled with those tariffs is the promise (for all that is worth) to remove them if production is moved to the USA. That is already happening. See TSMC, for example.
We should have 1000% tariffs on American technology companies. And ban them anyway on security grounds.
>> the sufficiently paranoid
The word you are looking for is 'prudent'.
>> jittery locals
Again with the specious vocabulary.
Privacy, autonomy, and independence should not be seen as paranoid. Especially so when an orange convicted felon sex abuser has a boot on your neck, aka tariffs. And let's not forget the intention by the aforementioned orange convicted felon sex abuser to steal a chunk of European territory for America's 'security'.
I think there are a lot of Americans out there who still don't understand just how badly Trump reflects on the USA as a whole. The damage has been done. You cannot unring the bell.
>> China appeared to ban security software developed by some US and Israeli firms – probably because it fears data leakage if local firms use the foreign software.
When the USA banned Kaspersky, it was because Kaspersky was finding American back doors.
Why would anyone trust the USA?
Just more proof that American 'security companies' should not be trusted in Europe. They act FOR the USA, not for European customers.
It is why these American Trojans never, not once, uncover American compromises. They are good at uncovering China, North Korea, etc. But never America. They are all in the pay of the American regime.
When it comes to rip and replace in Europe, American suppliers should be removed from the list of bidders. Not a single one should be allowed.
I haven't suggested Farage would be better. I don't think he would be. But he is where he is because of the Tories and Labour. They are both so bad that Farage came into the picture.
Your soft words 'have their faults' typifies Farage's rise. I can imagine the Tory party 'leadership' looking in the mirror 'we have some faults but are not too bad'. Then they get decimated at the elections.
>> Children under 13 had their personal information collected and used in ways they could not understand
>> Reddit doesn't require users to share information about their identities, regardless of age,
Instead of 'think of the children', how about 'where are the parents?'.
