Bars on the windows and a nice big hedgerow out front. Extra security, and occasional package deliveries are obscured from the street to deter porch pirates.

“It’s a lie that these machines aren’t connected to the internet. They’re not supposed to be connected to the internet while they’re doing tabulation—but you don’t know what was loaded in there for the software.”

Mr Spoonamore might just be ever so slightly full of shit.

Dominion voting systems are designed and certified by the U.S. government to be closed systems that do not connect to the Internet. State and local requirements also serve to maintain air gaps for security.1

Air gap means no physical connection. Software can’t make a network connection if there’s no hardware for it to control.

Edit to get ahead of the questions: I’m aware wifi exists, my point is an air gapped machine shouldn’t even have a NIC, wireless or otherwise. No NIC = no hardware for any software to make an network connection with.

That episode was traumatizing and it was great

Oh, I stand corrected

People are just now acknowledging it. Execs tend to have a disdain for the minutiae. They’re like kids that only want to do the exciting bits. As a result things get fucked because they don’t really understand what they’re doing. As Muskrat would say “move fast and break things.” It’s a terrible mindset.

Are you doing Azure training too? I cursed these out to my boss when I encountered them. I’ve seen a lot of bad captcha but these are hands down the worst.

Personally my biggest gripe is with the formatting, specifically spoilers tags are a terrible choice when the whole thing could be a single sentence with a link. Spoiler tags aren’t uniformly implemented and when pointed out the stance is it’s the clients fault for not doing spoilers the way the dev wants rather than the devs fault for not using a more standardized approach which just bugs me. If the goal was concise conveyance of information, they missed the mark.

Really it’s just the gloves
