Connect has been perfect for over 8 months so far! YMMV.

If only imperialism was relegated to the past. Imagine all this energy going towards building up neighbors and allies... Either way though, Slava Ukraini!!

Many Samsung devices have a quick button for NFC toggling in their drop down menu, not sure about other phones though.

I'm not arguing to do nothing, just attempting some clarity on the broader strokes of the issues. Much of our understandings of natural processes are still immature and incomplete - appreciating that fact should be a guiding principle for any near-to-hand actions.

More so conflating the fundamental capacity of decision making versus the spirit of the law protecting free speech.

Sure thing, Dingdong.

100%. Contractors are largely left out of any coverage when these issues arise. The functional dynamic between military, civilian, and contractors is beyond intertwined (in general), but the contractor workforce is left out of discussions and follow-on support constantly. As bizarre as it may sound, I think Federal Contractors should unionize. Most contractors are regular working people (not the millionaire contract company executives). These employees are not the people negotiating with the government, they go through traditional interviews with the company awarded a contract -- and in general, wages and contract value are not transparent whatsoever.

Many contractors can also end up working along side mil/civ for years and sometimes their entire career in the same role, but have their pay and other benefits reset whenever the contract changes companies (5 years is a common contract duration), this has burned soo many people, especially those not adept at advocating/negotiating... but even then, sometimes every aspect of compensation and benefits simply plummets and the incumbents have to take it if they want to continue supporting that mission. Civilians on the other hand enjoy amazing stability. Long rant and everyone's experience will vary, but there is a lot of truth above in general terms.
