Ekster posted:Trump visited the Saudis literally 2 weeks ago, they decide to have a massive diplomatic spat with another US ally Qatar, and his administration has no idea that this was about to happen. They went from Obama to Trump. You don't have to be america, speak english, or anything else to know that trump is a weak pissbaby who doesn't know poo poo, but he does seem to be heavily against Iran. And is the commander in chief of the united states military. They can do whatever they want with Trump in office, he won't be able to so much as understand anything they do, much less respond to it effectively.

So my boss (who is somewhat uninformed, in my opinion) seems to think "someone" is testifying tomorrow. Is someone testifying tomorrow? (Note: I am/might be ironically uninformed because I know of no one testifying tomorrow) I know Comey is up Thursday. Please note, I'm Canadian, so here any "Trump" supporters are basically disregarded as HUGE racists*. *LOL all the TUMP-alikes bombed in the runup for Conservative leadership so we ended up with a "normal" HATE-THE-GAYS Conservative party leader. Yay, Canada hasn't lost it's mind...yet

News article on Saudi weapons deal posted:There is no $110 billion deal. Instead, there are a bunch of letters of interest or intent, but not contracts. Many are offers that the defense industry thinks the Saudis will be interested in someday. So far nothing has been notified to the Senate for review. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency, the arms sales wing of the Pentagon, calls them “intended sales.” None of the deals identified so far are new, all began in the Obama administration. https://www.brookings.edu/blog/markaz/2017/06/05/the-110-billion-arms-deal-to-saudi-arabia-is-fake-news/ lmao

RedSpider posted:Every CIA and NSA office is breaking out the champagne over their demise right now. Bitter pill though, maybe. They're not going to be happy about their methods and the extent of their investigation into those things being revealed to the Russians, and I honestly wouldn't rule out that being the purpose of it to begin with. With the IC turned against the administration and everyone watching so closely, it might have been difficult to get that information to its the Russians through any other channel. It's a stretch, and it's real dumb, but this administration is real dumb.

No thanks Copy of a copy of a copy, scanned at low resolution and then run though a text to speech converter followed by speech to text, on different computers, copied to a flash drive you grabbed from a lost & found somewhere then stripping the metadata and dead dropping it somewhere a few days ahead of whenever you tell the recipient it will be there. Or whatever.

(Note: I am/might be ironically uninformed because I know of no one testifying tomorrow) I know Comey is up Thursday. James Comey, the former head of the FBI, is scheduled to testify on Thursday. Not tomorrow. And it's a big deal because he was fired for investigating the Trump-Russia ties. And those aren't my words, those are Trumps words. This would be a bigger deal except for the fact that Comey will probably not say much as it could screw up the ongoing investigation being conducted by the Mueller.

repeating posted:Sorry not trying to argue or anything, but is this basically saying it's in the printer's firmware? Of course it's in the printer's firmware, anything outside that would be hilariously easy to bypass. Even being in the firmware it needs to be in a non-rewritable area because hacked firmware is also fairly common in other hardware for various reasons. See hacked boot loaders in phones, hacked BIOS for hackintosh PCs running MacOS, etc... IIRC the original reason was to prevent counterfeiting because color printers were just so good. It finally put a stop to the nightmare levels of hyperinflation due to laser-printed $1 bills in the 70's, which is why we can all still enjoy an avocado every now and then without having to get a second mortgage.

ShredsYouSay posted:Couldn't you just put black and white noise as a custom watermark? Do you remember all those Slashdot news articles before they became entirely worthless where someone would post an article about a scientific discovery like "Toaster toasts 5000 pieces of toast in under 2 seconds!" and then the article would immediately have 50 replies like "Wait, did they realize you can't get that much toast in 2 slots?" or "There's no way you'll have enough butter for all that toast!" or even "Even the most basic 6th grade toasticist knows that peak toast is at 1200 pieces per second in a vacuum, why didn't they notice this obvious flaw?" So what I'm saying is that maybe they thought of that and: a) The watermarking mechanism works around that by various methods like being additive or having a flat value for that pixel location no matter what you print or b) They don't care because you can't buy avocados with black and white noise paper or c) They're already in your brain and have been using you to come up with potential counters for years to improve their fatally flawed system. D) is for dick, like what the author of this post is being. Sorry, your question just reminded me of all those /. replies that were basically: "have they thought of X fairly obvious thing?" Yes, they thought of that.
