  • The one thing they are right about IMO is that voting machines are dangerous, useless garbage that endangers the integrity of the election protests.

    EDIT: Wow, so many downvotes. Remember when these concerns were held by mostly left wing techy people? You don’t have to love them now because Trump hates them/uses their presence to spread FUD.

  • In a healthy marketplace, these would be fireable offenses. Regrettably, the marketplace is far from healthy — Microsoft has the government locked in as a customer, so the government’s options for forcing change at Microsoft are limited, at least in the short term.

    And that’s why nothing will happen to MS, except maybe line go down a bit. But then line will go up again so it’s all good.

    Kinda annoyed by articles like this making it sound like security wasn’t always an afterthought at MS though. It’s just that it’s even worse with everything being forced online to push SaaS revenue.
