Is the comment. Being middle ground isnt easy. Its rather hard to be that way. FB is trying to use fact checking Which I dont mind. They say they are using 3-4 companies, Which is GREAT.
But being FAIR, is hard also.
Anyone can speak. And they should be allowed. But also discuss. THERE are things you JUST CANT debate. so you dont. But the things running this country, and making things BAD, tend to all be related. THAT GOLDEN idea from the Reagan era, about TRICKLE DOWN. Makes no sence to anyone.
The Money in Gov. hasnt been used properly, an its easy to prove. The IRS cant do much against the corps, they dont have the power to even Look and deal with the Paper work. Computers over 15 years old, and 1 Still used from about 1969. They have been killing it along time, piece by piece. And things ARNT getting paid for.
Lets say it this way.
1 side dont think we should be paying taxes,and that we should Cut the gov. back as much as possible.
Which includes all the social agencies. And all the laws and regs that they enforce. from Working hours, and holidays, and Social sec. Basically move us back Before Roosevelt created most of it. With the thinking that After dumping all the regs, CORPS will come back.
But What will those corps find? Over price materials, over priced power, Water that seems abit BROWN. Those locations we found back in the 70's, we call Superfund sites. are Still there. we asked them to Clean them up.
Everyone says it the wages in other countries that Keep the corps there. Not is 1 part of a bigger problem, and MORE then just that. USA prices for materials are Allot higher then any other country. Power and Water, and the utilities, Higher. Even the phone service Is more expensive.
We need to find better ways to do those things WE DID. Even China is getting fed up with all the pollution created by Our corps, and others. Its all being Dumped into the Sea. and floats around to the coastline of China and japan. WE NEED BETTER WAYS. But the USA is so over priced, makeing something costs To much because of the basics.
The difficulty tends to Be WHO is telling the truth.
What IF' trump was trying to do/fix something. REALLY.
With all the BS flying around our politics, I cant tell which side is doing Anything except paying off the corps, who seem to be PAYING them. And all 3 sides are using OUR MONEY.
We can see what they have done, but not what they are doing or TRYING to do. and most times I think its just a Bad mitten/tennis game, and Neither side is any different.
Have either side, in recent history told us what they stand for? NOT REALLY. What they are TRYING to do? NOPE. We have some great ideas about it.
And if you really want the truth, THIS is not a job that lasts 20-40 years. WE are supposed to change them every few years, to DIFFERENT PEOPLE. But they DO control what you see. they select the person, NOT YOU. Did you see any of the other 1000 people running? I dont think so.
Most of the people up there, have Fathers and grand fathers and uncles that have been in office. Its a FAMILY thing. and that is NOT what we want. We have to fix things, because THEY WONT.
You have NO right to do much of anything.
And you should keep it that way.
Separating a few groups from overwhelming your site or even using it as a political base, IS your job.
Democracy is CHOICE. And a part of our gov. has severely decided not to let us have info on their dealing, which makes person upset. Even when asked, they pander and hide from any truth or understanding of WHAT they are trying to do.
Facebook, you are neither News nor caretaker. You are not there to decide right/wrong, ill or health. You even show your honesty in the adverts you have. You do not need to THINK. You can try to keep Some of us apart or protected, but you have little right to DECIDE truth or fact, except to Show your OPINION on either side.
If you choose a side, then you are no better then our newspapers and TV OPINIONATED journalism.
really?
So no matter how weak or Stupid the maker is to use it..
That it interconnects Direct to your router and MAYBE an internet site. Or just the kids BT connection on their PHONE, and they hack it.
Who is responsible?
The kids for a 4 digit code?
You for not changing the BASIC name/password
The company that Made all the codes the same, and Probably not changeable.
OR that the ITEM is broadcasting itself to everyone in 300 feet? And not being SILENT, so that no one Knows you are wearing one. And that you have to have the MAC address to connect to it.
you always know there is one, because There WILL be one, if you dont Care for everything.
But this is huge. And the info is very scarce. As where did the DLL come from. That alone is a security issue. Then No one evaluated/examined the DLL from a 3rd party? Another issue. depending on Any software to be Perfect, and your OWN monitoring is absent? Another issue.
So what has been shown of this country?
That Neither side is what it is. That Neither side is being held culpable to the people. That they Both are filled with those that would Do anything for money?
Neither will display information on what they wish to achieve. Nor accomplish. They dont even ask Us what they should be doing.
Those few that followed trumps words were confused and didnt understand what is happening, Nor who to turn to, to get things Fixed. For all the power they could weld, they didnt look Closer. Get the Congress to Change. They are Employees not doing a good job. And if it were on us to be as silly, we would not have a job. Those in congress have over time created a Life time Job, where there should be none. The Best in medical, retirement, and many other benefits. But I cant blame 1 side or the other.
We have let them create a system of the "better of 2 evils". They get to choose the Sacrifice that leans this nation, That way or this. Of 30% of this nation has this ability, the other 70% get no choice. And a wonder that we can get over 50% of the people to vote at all. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/US_Vote_for_President_as_Share_of_Pop ulation.png/800px-US_Vote_for_President_as_Share_of_Population.png
As a share of total population. not just voter eligible.
328 million population/Voting age 257million/Eligible 239million
Something like 70 million under Age?(21%)
-10% not eligible for Crimes, and not legally in the USA?
Those people only saw 1 way to fix things. Probably because they have seen all the past, that nothing is helping.
"Solarwinds is the largest provider of enterprise network monitoring and management software in the world, so yes it got deployed within a very large number of networks."
Fine..WHO WROTE IT? And Why, did they release a Dll, into their Program, IF they didnt know what it was going to do??
It had to come from someone outside the company, What World wide company would WANT every nation and Corp AT THEIR DOOR.
AND, there are reasons for hardware DLL, Which I dont think they mentioned What the USE was for. As far as Iv heard, you dont even know if its a Printer driver, or to monitor Anything.
AND IMO depending on 1 form of system monitoring is Stupid in this time.
Please understand. THISis a major corp thats supposed to be monitoring system for security. and they Didnt do What?
a Software developer receives a DLL, (driver update) and does not check to see its from the Hardware maker(??), and if it is from the maker(maybe) ask for a copy of the programming, just to be secure.
this DLL, seems to be going around the world which, generally, means every system needs this driver?
security for security sake. How many of these systems have secondary protections. Like programmers to Evaluate the NEW part of a working system? Or a monitor and trace system to know what data is being used, and taken, or if something changes in the Running system, that WASNT running before?
Anyone on this site. How many of you have More then 1 program to protect your systems? Recently Many of our protects are spreading out and covering more things. You may not use more then 1-2 programs. But there are Allot of things you can do. and something here it the above situation, seems abit off.
This took over 6 months to Notice things had changed on the system? No evaluation that the NEW DLL was needed?
The distribution of this updated program is abit strange. was it a direct Download, or a central distribution from the gov.?
why have a sane world when so many can make money on others efforts and Do little to earn it?
Rather Sit on my bed, and watch the SMART people hand over THEIR ideas, and I make money from Everyone that wishes to see what OTHERS have created.
And I love the Digital internet, as 1 copy can be use a billion times and Never wear out the pages.
I bow, make funny faces as Veggies are thrown at me, and slowly wave as I walk off stage.
How about the thought,
BASIC SECURITY so even an idiot can open it, incase of emergency?
If it really only has Bluetooth 4 digit Numbers, WHO cares if it gets locked.
The weakest/strongest security feature is only there and SAFE, if someone changes it. Just cause a series of products all have ADMIN and PASSWORD as the name and password. is only Safer IF you change it.(and not forget it)(not reset the device to un-configured).
Whats the most interesting thing about all of it, is How many of these devices can loose Power and reset to its failsafe. Admin/password.
Is this good/bad? Considering My customers tend to forget them anyway.
Dont mind the ones that Do have a builtin Switch to reset them, Until someone figures they can tap it then remote access the whole system.
In allot of this, How secure do you want some of these devices? Probably depends on the Use made of it. And that Barbie, SHOULD not be able to direct connect to the net.
The Fridge? Should just make a Call. It would be better if you had to press a button and it would THEN connect and order things Or print out your grocery list.
Anyone know the story of a car owner, found someone in Australia with the same car, and gained remote access to it, with the Vehicle ID(Vin #). who knew it was that easy? https://i0.wp.com/tap.fremontmotors.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/vin-decode.jpg?resize=500%2 C250&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1
you have a fair side. But what to think about it.
Do we really want a REAL democracy, or a corp controlled nation?
Its not that we have to regulate this Idea. Its to NOT let it bother you. Everyone NEEDS to speak.
But while people can speak, they also must contend with being debated.
How about we look at a few strange facts. the repubs and demo, are about 30% of the nation, and the Far left and right are the minority(supposedly).
30% of the people and 15% on each side. And a minority took over that 15%?
In all this, few have suggested that Both far right and left are about equal in opinion. And even with a Whole of 15% of the population, 45 million(?) the group declared a president?
It takes a fair amount of 1 group to be of 1 opinion.
Where have they conversed? would it be better to talk as a group and educate each other, explain things so that 2+2 at least gets CLOSE to 4.
The Best of Democracy tends to be everyone with a voice. The Worst of a democracy is its Voice. Its the balance between this and that, and another side.
Good luck with that,
