“In my case, I like to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair,” Trump said as he signed the executive order. “I have to stand under the shower for 15 minutes until it gets wet. It comes out drip, drip, drip. It’s ridiculous.”

Will the British cabinet be automatically included on the list?

Tech or precisely it’s real world applications affect everything, including politics.

I mean at this point if you have seen what Israel has done, unfiltered by the media, then there is almost nothing that will shake people out of their views. If you support Israel after knowing that they purposefully shell hospitals and children, then you will most likely keep supporting Israel no matter what. Same goes for those who oppose Israel and it’s genocide.

What do you mean 120 years. Israel is less than 80 years old.

Absolutely not a surprise. Seeing how obsessive the brittish good-old-boys have been about Russia. Why not bribe, blackmail, harass, censor and maybe even kill for a good cause, or that’s how they see it.

I personally use carrier pigeons with caesar cipher. I know I can’t out tech google, so I will go medieval.

If there is backdoor for them, then there is a backdoor for everybody who knows where to look.

you mean the thing politicians, weapons manufacturers, Ukrainian government wanted Europeans to believe all for their separate reasons.

Of course they don’t want to take over Europe. They want their regions in Ukraine and renegotiations on security on whole of their western border and now just not promises of security based on goodwill, because all goodwill between parties have been destroyed because of this war. If they wanted European resources, goods and tech they would just much rather trade for them. It’s much simpler than taking the burden of occupying and administering a fucking unruly European subcontinent! That would btw also get destroyed in the process if they ever tried to take it. Jesus, they don’t even want to take over all of Ukraine for pretty much the same reasons.

There is no significant ammo production. There are no significant national stockpiles anymore. They all were fed to Ukraine before and during the 2023 ‘counter-offensive’ that flopped horribly and those stockpiles never recovered because all the new production was almost exclusively sent to keep Ukraine afloat after that. Should Europe just disarm itself completely just so that Ukraine won’t even win, but just that it won’t collapse totally this year?

Nah, just going along with Ukraine war and letting it get to and pushing to the point of war is a testament that Washington and Brussels are a foreign policy monolith. That finally sold it for me. EU is ready to sacrifice it’s interests to drive their perceived transatlantic interests that the two political classes mostly share. EU political elite and media mainly hate Trump because he showed that EU capitals and Brussels are bunch of losers with no real political agency, who got conned into supporting and prolonging this unwinnable war to the hilt and are now being left to hold the bag.

First concrete move towards EU independence would be to stop this war and normalize with Russia, but in this fucked up world Trump wants both and EU wants neither. That is the fucked up world we live in. EU wants further conflict on it’s continent and US doesn’t want a war in Europe.

I do personally want European independence, but I see that EU in it’s current state is not a force for it, nor is it good for Europeans.

So it’s made by the EU in the sense that the maintainers are likely citizens of the EU, I guess

Even after that, be reminded that this current mania in the EU has nothing to with being anti-american or wanting to dump American products or services themselves. The people who are most into this are anti-Trump, not anti-american or fundamentally against Europe being subordinate to the US. Most of them are probably secretly wanting the world to return to 2024 and EU being US junior partner of “the west” and happily eating MacDonalds and using microsoft services. It’s not an European sovereigist movement at it’s core and therefore it has not staying power after Trump or Maga.

It might be that these people are just Foss enthusiasts with pure intentions wanting to promote the cause by riding the wave. However if the wave is just a meme conjured because of Trump then this project or things like it have no staying power or future even if it really being an EU project or being adopted tomorrow.

I read the sovereign to mean something like an unified platform for EU institutions, that you can dev and train people on.

dependent on the whims of a US defense contractor like RedHat/IBM

A very good point.

Wow this company is not scary at all…

A another tool which whole point is to prevent any change from happening in the name of security. Not only will it not succeed, but because the powers that be want to build dams and not solve contradictions underlying the problem, they will just make the end result more abrupt, violent and bloody.

One major argument for consoles is still that there is a single unified platform that gives better bang-for-buck than PC of the same price, and that studios can dev and optimize their games on more easily.

That is not how their business model works. The consoles themselves are sold almost at cost of production or at a loss. The money for Microsoft, Nintendo, Microsoft comes from those exclusives and live service subscriptions. They want to maximize the amount of their hardware in homes and then make the money on selling the thing that actually makes them useful.

Looking at the Syrian situation right now, I’m just spitting on the faces of people who equate Assad with Hitler.

In such a system, the ESP32 fully trusts the host. If an attacker maliciously gains control over the host system, they could potentially issue these debug commands to influence ESP32’s behavior. However, an attacker must first compromise the host device, making this a second-stage attack vector rather than a standalone vulnerability. Or, gain a physical access to the device to send the HCI commands over serial interface.

Does this even count as backdoor? Not really if you have to have access to the device in the first place.
