The White House Finally Got Color Printers (gizmodo.com)
An anonymous reader quotes an article on Gizmodo: Everyone loves an upgrade -- even POTUS. The New York Times reports that the White House has recently undergone a technological transformation, though it may not sound too impressive to many of us: Its employees are now equipped with modern laptops, iPhones and even... color printers. [...] Employees have new computers with "fast, solid-state drives and modern processors," according to the newspaper, along with color printers. There's a new phone system and many staff now tote iPhones. The Wi-Fi has been upgraded, so it's now fast enough to live-stream video. And security has been increased too, with a new software system for managing visitors and a chip-based card system which is used by staffers instead of passwords.
Finally, iPhones, now that the FBI has a way to hack into them it should be a piece of cake to find out what our white house is up to these days.
The irony of equipping government with the exact same hardware you are trying to weaken security for hasn't sunk into them yet, has it?
Why are they printing stuff when they all have laptops and tablets?
