This is a good point. Could be someone's public SSL key on a ballot.

Sorry no.. Just no. There is no Quantum blockchain.. There is no blockchain watermark. IT DOESN"T WORK LIKE THAT. I do this for a living. Please stop spreading this shit. Watermarks are most certainly on the ballots, but they will be in the traditional dot pattern form for printer identification and possibly other forms like a unique serial number or something. But not a blockchain. YOU CANNOT PRINT BLOCKCHAINS. CHAIN means the it needs to be updated regularly. You can't do that on PAPER.

Well I'm not certain in what context they are using it. But I've worked in technology for over 30 years. The only place that acronym is used is for harddrive health monitoring.

S.M.A.R.T which stands for (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology). Its been around since the late 90s. Its very mundane but extremely usefull.

Basically all it does it monitor metrics of a harddrive. For instance most harddrive (pre solid state) spin at 7,200 RPM.. High Performance enterprise harddrives could spin at 10,000 or 15,000 RPM. When you first power on your computer, the drive has to get up to speed. SMART will monitor how long it takes to get the disk up to the proper speed and compare it against a known good quantity. For instance, a healthy drive might take 3 to 5 seconds to reach full speed. But lets say one day it takes 10s to reach full speed. SMART will log the error and then an Operating system that is aware of SMART will see the error and alert you to the fact that something might be wrong with the drive and to backup your data as soon as possible.

Completely mundane, no super secret surveillance. Its quite useful actually. In the erra of solid state drives. It checks other performance metrics like temperature, voltage and how many bytes written over the life time. Some people may not know, but solid state drives when written to, burn off a little bit of material. So if a consumer level drive is written to constantly, like by a database. Its expected lifetime is much lower and can eventually burn itself out. (Hence be careful buying used SSDs).

Smart in the context of watch, phone etc was more marketing to imply that the device is more general purpose computing with software that does more than say just tell time. It also tends to imply WIFI or network connectivity. SMART fridge.. SMART Appliances etc.. Are again just marketing buzzwords for overpriced appliances that they threw electronics on and connected up to WIFI.. Basically (Internet of Things IoT). And yes, a lot may actually collect data and send it to the manufacturer for marketing and research purposes. Which is why as an IT person.. I stick with non-electronic appliances, locks etc.. There are places where things like that are simply not needed and more of a hassle.

Yes data collection etc is a massive problem with devices these days. But I would be cautious of the 5G FUD out there. I've seen some truly cringe inducing theories posted out there and on these boards.

Dont take the "water damage" part as literal as a discarded laptop that was found in a lake or anythibg similar. This "water damage" thing on macbooks is increadibly common. And it could be as simple as somone spilled stuff on the table. Or in the case of macs, even just high humidity. Louis Rossman is a famous youtuber (in IT circles) who specializes in mac repair and streams the repairs. He hates macs because of these very obvious design flaws that make the mac circuit boards so vaulnerable to environmental conditions and they corrode easily. https://youtu.be/mS1Vyv5HUcI

Least plausible. The military will never get involved. You will lose 90% of the populous support if they do. Barr is going to let us down and we are all getting fucked because everyone would rather larp and meme than do something of substance.

To be fair, having lived in Flagstaff (I-40, I-17) junction. Its so dry with tons of Pine trees and retards throw lit cigarettes out the windows starting fires all the fucking time. I've had to call in several road side brush fires over the years.

I've seen too many of these over the last 4 years.. Mark this post and lets see if anything happens. I'm not holding my breadth or getting excited. I can only cope with so much disappointment.

Everyone knows there is absolutely no way Joe can win given his cognitive issues, horrible VP pick, etc. Trump's support from the Black community, at 28% now I believe, is historic for a modern Republican candidate. It was once mentioned some years ago that any Black support over 20% would basically mean an absolute landslide for a republican candidate. So this massive push for general mail in ballots, the voter fraud that has come out recently and the Media starting the narrative months back that election night won't pick the candidate because it could take a week for mail in ballots to come in. You can google (use duckduckgo.com much less slanted results) all of these and see that the Media/Progressive/Antifa are all prepping for a very chaotic election night. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/09/democrat-operative-blows-whistle-reveals-massive-mail-voting-fraud-operation/

He can only issue pardons to federal crimes is my understanding. So if its solely handled by the state there isnt much he can do. Its also why the corrupt SDNY Southern district NY courts keep trying to indict all his friends. If its tried there he cant pardon.

Saddly i dont think it matters. They are prosecuting him and will stack the jury with antifa blm. We are in the age of it doesnt matter how right and how caught on video it was.

Be ready to fight when they sentence him to life.

Honestly. I wasnt treribly suprised. I alter served in the 90s. the priest who trained me went to jail for pedophilia and sex with a minor. One priest whome i loved and truely wanted to help kids in his home country of Hati saw the clinton foundation sex traffic up close and almost lost his life because of it. Then pedo elements in the church tried to kick him out. There are good people in the church, saddly though the institution is corrupt and now being run by a minion of satan

I've never believed in idolizing anyone.. Or anything.. Not just because of my catholic upbringing. But I swear if Trump can actually bring this all down.. I will dedicate some wall space, desk space or whatever to him. But please, if things aren't going according to plan Mr Trump; let us know, let it all come to light and ask for help. I don't think this planet can survive this going on much longer.

Ok so I'm still a bit freaked from reading this "Protocols of Learned Elders of Zion". So lets says this is a Jewish conspiracy.. How in the heck does Trump fall into this.. His own daughter married to one, Kushner just brokered this peace deal (dear god that kid is a robot). How then is Trump the answer to this? Wouldn't this imply he is as compromised as the rest? Help this newb understand.
