The government buys IT services from the same companies that everyone else does: Google, Microsoft and Amazon. They all offer special government offerings with stricter security.

I guarantee Trump is getting hacked because he and his team refuse to listen to IT and won't let them turn on basic security features because they're a slight inconvenience.

More specifically, they're targeting the 60+ demographic, who are the only people that still watch cable news.

It's more due to engineering. Materials have limited strength. Stone has fairly good compressive strength, but it'll still crack if you put too much weight on it. If you use your stone to make a tower, it won't get very high before it topples over. If you instead build a pyramid, the weight of the stone on top is dispersed across several stones below it and those stones disperse their weight to multiple stones and so on down to the base, letting you build far taller.

Quit buying from giant corporations.

I can go to my local family owned Banh Mi joint and get a sandwich made with real meat and fresh bread for $6. For $12, I could add a boba tea and a side of fried dumplings.

In the US, anything with "heritage" in its name is usually racist. The word became a dog whistle for white supremacists after the civil rights era.

If a real world pentester tries to hack something out of scope, they also get banned. From society. To a prison cell.

The guy playing him didn't own the copyright, since it was originally from an 80s TV show. Once he made the character famous, the TV show copyright owner fucked him over and he had to come up with his own character, thus Count Binface.

Documents marked "not for public release" aren't classified. They're what's called controlled unclassified information (CUI). It's anything from PII, law enforcement victim records to sensitive (but unclassified) technical manuals. There's dozens of categories if anyone cares to look at them: https://www.archives.gov/cui/registry/category-marking-list

They shouldn't be sitting out there, but it's also not a crime.

And thank you Microsoft.

Real answer is just that they're executing a process without setting the window style to hidden. It doesn't mean anything other than the dev is lazy / inexperienced.

Not shown: Jupiter occasionally tearing one apart and strewing its innards all around or abducting random passerbys and eating them.

Murderer. The proper way to refer to him, mainstream news, is "the murderer Derek Chauvin". He was convicted of murdering George Floyd.
