If you buy one used that is how you can get around giving Google money.

From a security standpoint it might give you a temporary benefit since all of Google's tracking IDs will be associated with the original owner. On a new phone I figure it's associated with you immediately.

    Well I don't think that is the case. Parents and teachers are observing students not paying attention.

    I would think if an educator can teach a full lesson, while also ensuring that students retain the information, when the student is watching YouTube, endlessly scrolling reddit or lemmy, or on Instagram this wouldn't be an issue.

    The problem is that students aren't retaining the knowledge being provided to them.

    For my truck, I ended up looking in the owners manual and found a fuse that is for the modem. I removed it and the vehicle functions without issue.

    I know it works because when I brought it to the dealership to get serviced they said they couldn't connect to it via their online service app. They also asked if I had tried to connect to it via the company app on my phone. I just told them I never needed to.

    Just to be sure I verified they didn't reinstall the fuse and they had not.

    Yes that metadata can exist but can't that be obscured if AWS isn't connected to directly?

    I think some of the technical details of how the ASD intends to ensure data protection/confidentiality/integrity are omitted for national security reasons.

    Well I would think that if the customer, in this case the Australian Signals Directorate, encrypted all data prior to going to AWS, it would be protected from any data mining that Amazon does.

    I am sure that the ASD isn't just posting the information unencrypted on AWS or solely trusting Amazon's encryption where Amazon also has a copy of the key.

    I would caution you about socialism being a way to get to communism.

    Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, the founders of communist ideology, believed democratic socialism was a sham and true communism could only be achieved through a violent overthrow of the bourgeois.

    The complex restructuring you mentioned is why they thought a transition from socialism to communism would not work.

    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.

    250 billion for what? Governments are horribly inefficient and many of their employees operate with the thought "not my money not my problem I can just spend it however I want"

    Billionaires getting taxed more only treats a symptom and not the root cause. Their corporations should be broken up, competition should be stimulated, shareholders should demand limits on exec bonuses and the executive pay should be limited to a reasonable ratio of exec to lowest paid employee pay.

    That would make things better and money in the government should be spent more appropriately.

    Well it's international airspace and nations can fly whatever they want inside international airspace regardless of the proximity to a nation.

    Russians do it to Canada and the United States often but it doesn't make much fanfare because the parties involved handle it professionally

    On the eve of classes starting for the fall term, the University of Michigan has decided to cut the internet connection of all campuses.

    The University of Michigan has more than 30,000 students and has a very large hospital with over 550 beds on its main hospital campus.

    It will be interesting to see what prompted the securing of the network. Was this just focused at the hospital, students, or both? Only time will tell.

    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.
