if it is all just propaganda, then it was a p. good effort (or maybe bloomberg is just being totally reckless and supermicro is already too hosed to sue them?)

Considering the DoD is currently agitating against Chinese manufacturing based on a recent Executive Order, it makes sense as a propaganda piece.

Come on Ilhan, lets go bag us a shitpost


video calls are popular with inmates at facilities with odd/bad regular visitation
probably because that becomes the only way to regularly see their family

Or as a fellow goon put it: "so it's a $150 ipad that only runs skype... or a $350 ipad that only runs skype"


"The Portal camera detects how many people are in the room and automatically pans out and zooms in based on the crowd. A microphone array detects and amplifies the voice of the person speaking even if that person moves."


depending on how well the automatic pan/zoom and microphone stuff works, i could see this getting used by professional streamers

otoh it makes sense that the government and big business would send out press releases saying "we never got owned" when in fact they did get owned



basically

we have a remote team and for a while one of the bosses insisted that we do full video calls with them at all times to "make them feel more welcome or like they're a close part of our team" except they're all dork-rear end programmers so it just made them intensely uncomfortable

now im hootin at the notion of 82 year old grandpa paying 70 bucks a month for comcast cable 'for the internet' but just connecting to xfinitywifi every time

i mean that's still the paid service they get, they won't notice the slightly worse speeds, and https defaults generally mean they won't even be hurt by sending in the clear on wifi

plus they can't tell they're not on the home wifi when they bring the bigphone they have to the senior center that also runs comcast modem, or their one friend's who is still alive in a different 55+ development on tiny townhouse lots where they're using a neighbors wifi router unknowningly
