I’d be surprised if they had been updated at all after their installation was signed off.

While I share some, if not most, of your disinterest, it’s probably worth pointing out that while “we” had a Saturn V rocket system and Apollo space program that did, at least superficially the same as Artemis so far, we could not actually repeat a Saturn V launch today, as-in we lost many of those skills and associated experience.

In many ways, Artemis is essentially getting back to where we left off in 1973 with the intention of eclipsing it, but the ongoing NASA budget cuts being perpetrated by the current regime are in my opinion going to curtail the program before too long.

If I recall correctly, after Apollo 11, the TV audiences dwindled for the rest of the program, with a brief spike for Apollo 13, so perhaps there’s an aspect of that to consider.

For me the disappointment was triggered by the poor camera handling during launch, the view of backpacks, food and plushies surrounding CAPCOM at Mission Control, the broken toilet debacle and the heat shield obfuscation, all of which made this less leading edge science and more of a shitshow.

I hope the astronauts land safety in a couple of hours, but I won’t be watching for days like I did for the first Shuttle launch in 1981.

The impact to society from space exploration is immense if not immeasurable.

So … you want to do what exactly?

Monitor every single interaction and police them?

How do you decide what’s an actionable conversation? Who’s laws apply? What’s allowed and what isn’t?

So … you want privacy, or a police state?

Nobody gets fired for buying IBM … apparently.

I heard you the first time.

Not even close.

CVE: Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures

Nothing says leadership quite like being the first to leave a toxic platform … oh wait.

Or … you could just transport it in an unmarked truck, but then there wouldn’t be this perfect free marketing “opportunity”.

For me, the way to deal with this was to raise my arms above my head in a stretch. Made it stop every time.

Thought I was having a heart attack the first couple of times it happened.

As an adult, I still have them from time to time, but not anywhere as frequently, though still without any warning.

So, why is this being disclosed here and not a CVE reported to Apple?

While contemplating that, my Mac has been up for longer than that and it’s working fine.

The Mac I had before that was up for years, also fine.

So … what is this really about?

What does it matter who invented it?

Bitcoin Bros … yeah, can’t say I considered those but I’d suspect that’s indeed a high probability.
