This is as expected. Microsoft per their marketing plan will force as many as they can on to Windows 10. Up to this point I have resisted and still run Windows 7 Pro on my Windows workstations. Not sure I will ever go for Windows 10. Or just phase Windows workstations out and stick to my Linux and Mac workstations. I stopped doing Windows development work over 10 years ago anyway. And just keep 1 Windows 7 Pro workstation at my office and one in my home office now.
One thing I do know "I will never use a DaaS workstation for any of my development work or to run my business". Heck, I don't even use any cloud based apps for any real work.
250 million? Who was going to get the money? What was the money going to be used for? Just that fact that one side supported it 100% and the other was against it 100% means it was just fodder for ideological hacks to use to attack their opponents.
As for the US Senate, with out 60 votes almost nothing passes in the Senate. To say the Republicans control all 3 branches of government means nothing. And is just political misdirection used for propaganda reasons since most Americans are ignorant about how the Senate works. If the party in power does not control 60 votes in the Senate very little gets done in Washington. The last time that happened President Obama was in office and the Democrats had 60 votes in the Senate and controlled the House. And they for the most part completely wasted the power and oppotunities they held for 18 Months (I think it was 18 months?)
Like most everything political. View points about Gerrymandering just revolve around is it working the way those who did it wanted. Your side did it Good!, The other side did it Bad!.
From multiple perspectives including but not limited to family, relatives and friends. With audio tracks in most languages with subtitles. Accounting each and every requirement in the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Even though for most individuals, no one including the individual doing it would never look at it again.
To download full local install packages with their check sums. And that these cloud based (internet required) apps are great to force the continuous subscription profit model but not so secure or great for the end user.
I would think this is just the low hanging fruit. The shakers and movers have moved on to restart their operations again. OOOO Authorities announce we caught these criminals. In order to look like they are making progress. This could just be for show like most everything the authorities do.
Our political Masters would realize that only honest individuals and entities follow government laws and regulations. Thus all laws and regulations (understanding some are needed) always add to costs (both monetary and socially) and are an imposition on the honest who would not do any harm anyway
Always consider universal truths!
1. Government Passing or Creating laws or regulations in no way actually fixes any problems or issues.
2. Government bureaucrats and politicians think they are exempt from all laws and regulations. Laws and regulations are just the clubs government uses to beat the peasants in to compliance, self enrichment and for their general enjoyment.
3. Criminals do not care about laws and regulations in any way.
4. Corporations just weight the risks of getting caught breaking laws and regulations vs potential short term profit/damages. And can they get out with their money before the hammer falls.
Thus, less government, smaller government, manageable government, transparent government, fiscally responsible government is always best for the citizens.
Government keeps Americans in jails for extended periods of time without a conviction all the time. The poor can not afford bail, thus sit in jail waiting for the painfully slow wheels of justice to turn. Ideological foes and white collar criminals sit in jail with bond revoked at the prosecutors whim. With the bait of turning in to a state witness and providing the goods (true or made up) to regain their freedom.
Our justice system due to the corrupt leadership at these entities is in danger. I see a time when citizens won't even be able to afford to convict a real criminal.
I believe strong encryption protects me against both criminals and my government. We all know criminals are, well criminals! But the bureaucratic leadership of the NSA, DOJ and FBI IS corrupt. And at the moment, FBI Director Christopher Wray and his corrupt partners running the DOJ and NSA are the greatest cyber threat in America.
FBI Director Christopher Wray's statement that "strong encryption on mobile phones keeps law enforcement from gaining access to key evidence" is in my case falling on deaf ears. I do not see a problem here. Things are just as they should be.
And FBI Director Christopher Wray can pound sand. And he IS the weasel I suspected he was.
I was chatting with a client years ago that was a jeweler (still in business). The subject of sales came up. I asked, so what do you do X% over cost? He said, Heck no! I triple the price then have a 50% off sale and I can't keep the shelves filled.;)
a sub set of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia. So I think (not a lawyer) that an appeal can be made to the entire 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia. So this may not be the final outcome. Time will tell.
"investigative or law enforcement officers." Nope they don't, I am sure that some are good workers just trying to do a job. But now what do we do with the criminals, pervs and thieves?
Oh that is right, they work for the government so none of them are criminals, pervs or thieves! Besides why should ordinary people have any recourse.
how would I design and account for this in code? Without being 100% sure of the source. Does everything have source metadata for context? As is the real world how could anyone trust any provided context metadata anyway? I am no fan of Facebook and I do not have an account. But maybe Facebook is trying to fight a losing battle here! I think most humans would make this mistake since it would appear to be a no brainier in the PC correct, overly sensitive, I'm a victim society we have in America.
When one first looks events like these always look bad. The real fix maybe to toughen up or take it in stride.
just giving your devices a rest during your trip home. Once there you can charge them any way you wish. I always laugh when I am out and about, 7 of 10 individuals everywhere have their device in their hand. They look away every so often in an attempt not to trip over the curb, run in to a door or wall or pretend to be working in case their boss walks by.
But then I am different, I create tech but don't have much use for it.

So true ;)
Wait! There are Russians in Redmond? ;) lol
They sell Windows 10 install media? What would anyone use that for? lol I know, but just needed to say it.

Most public servants are already using various technical methods and tools to manage and hide their illegal activities.

They are held to a different standard. Laws and regulations never apply to them!

Interesting response. But I do wonder who really is the emotional, fanatical, ideological, religious cult member here?
;)
I do not see a need to add anything beyond the posted comments. The readers can figure it out for themselves.
Have a great rest of your weekend

Everything in Gmail, 365, Hotmail, the Cloud that is not encrypted IS being accessed by who knows who. And if that is not OK changes need to be made.
