Bravo Tucker. I got fully aware of the state of affairs after 9/11. I remember you firmly on their side back then, and I hope that's one of your regrets. Anyway, you have long rehabilitated yourself in my view. Thank you for what you do!

If "yes" wins, he is going to say, see, he has to be reinstated. If "no" wins, he is going to say, see, even voices you don't like have to be heard, so he has to be reinstated.

But it's not a fact check by some obscure arbiter of "truth", rather reader added context. I quite like it.

Having been an apple evangelist around 2005-2012 or so, I am so happy to not have any more devices from them since. Apple is the IT version of "the devil wears Prada". Only my mum still uses Apple, she doesn't want to change. She has an M1 Macbook Air M1, the display broke, we contacted our trusted non-official Apple repair guy, he said he can't do it, since Apple codes serial numbers of displays somewhere and only them can change it with proprietary tools - for 500 EUR.

I asked myself whether to laugh or cry, and ended up with laughing.

Read an alternative explanation on this yesterday. Article is only available in german:

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruor

It says that building "Cruor" does naturally occur in bodies, and that it is well distinguishable from a thrombus because it does not stick to the vessel walls, and can be easily pulled out.

FWIW!

As someone who works in IT, and knows about the complexity of the Bluetooth protocol, I can only conclude this is utter bullshit.

German here: Talked about this with a friend a week ago: He said: "What you don't get is that this is genious! The only ones allowed to participate without tests are the tiple vaxxed. And that's why they do it: To get them to do it."

Lol, their address!

"An der Goldgrube 12"

Goldgrube is bonanza in english.

"At the bonanza 12"

Germany. But I found a shop in the US that ships it to Germany. So all is well!

It's not meant as a prophylactic. It's for when the horse has already left the barn. :)

I think so too. They will never establish their control. They are fucked, and they know it. Burn in hell, motherfuckers!

That said, never underestimate a cornered animal. They might revert to blowing stuff up big time...

German here: This story has been kind of blown out of proportions in the english speaking media. What really happened is that the government said it's legal for businesses to decide whether they want to use this (gotta be either vaxxed or recovered).

I know of no supermarket chain that took the chance, and most of them issued statements that they won't. I think they realized that if they dare, they will face the wrath of a metric shitton of people they still like to keep as customers.

So if you compare Germany to Lithuania, Australia or Italy for example, we're still a tad better off.

The cabal will keep pushing though.

All the data is still there. Just no way to access it right now. They "just" have to restore the routing information with the peers, and it should be back to normal. If they still have the data to restore, that is.

It's strange that it takes them so long though.

edit and, it's back!

Facebook has an ASN. Think of this as a big network of computers, for which Facebook defines the routing policy (how traffic has to jump from router to router to reach the destination machine). But their network also has to talk to outside networks, called peers. For updating routing information with the peers, they use a standard protocol, BGP. It's an automatic system which allows Facebook admins to propagate routing information to their peers. So when they change routing on their network, BGP tells their neighbors about it.

What happened was that shortly before the blackout, Facebook sent a lot of BGP "withdrawal" messages which basically told the peers that the computers in their ASN are not there anymore. The peers complied and deleted the routing information.

The result is now that no one on the internet knows how to route to any of Facebooks addresses anymore. This includes ALL of Facebooks network. Internal communication systems, Keycard access to server rooms, ability to remotely change routing configuration: All gone.

They now have to break into their datacenters and plug cables into routers.

The problem is that their network sent automatic router configuration messages to their peers, disconnecting itself from the outer world. No IP inside their network is now reachable, even if you have the IP, since the peers do no longer know how to route to it.

Nothing in their network is reachable. Internal communication systems, keycard access, you name it. They literally have to drive to the datacenter and plug cables in the routers now.
