Tech-savy teenagers can pull of a "cyber attack" on a nonprofit. It doesn't have to be a smart choice. Sometimes people just want to relieve their anger, break some shit, and claim it for whatever floats their boat right now.

The evidence is absolute bullshit though. So I don't believe it either.

Thanks to a bit of anonymous text on the disinformation machine of a fascist US billionaire, we finally know what's up. Thank God for this achievement in journalism.

The eyes probably look super weird and people are supposed to focus on the bump on the head

Lower the barrier. Ask if you can join briefly with a video call to get to know the group. Some people will delay reaching out for decades, making their life harder. You can bet that people in the group will even share exactly this feeling and situation with you. If you really believe it might help to reach out, but you're standing in your way, try a smaller step in the direction

This is nothing new. You can buy these USB cable testers on Amazon or directly from Alibaba. They just put some fancy visualization on top so you don't have to look up what the individual LEDs on the tester mean.

As others have generally noted about Kickstarter, this is just another scam with cheap Chinese gadgets.

Do it anyway. Having anything behind a TLD that is tied to the political control of a tiny geographic area is insanely careless

The quality of an invention has nothing to do with profitability. People actively fight competing products and ideas. A good invention is worth nothing unless you whore it out to existing industry

How do you sell what you did as "it just worked"? Rightaway? You lied to them. You have your coworkers on an unmanaged machine with a foreign OS on the guest WiFi with custom networking. Don't oversell a workaround as a solution.

Simplifying the problem to "Windows" seems unfair, given how many problems you found. All of them still require a long-term solution for regular operation.

You don't realize a 500km route you take once is shit. It's when the software sends you on a shit route across town every single day when you measure quality.

They realized that they can get away with stealing data. No reason to keep up the facade anymore
