Nah.
It's through questioning that we come to understand the world. As an expert on cybersecurity, coding, packet-captures, etc., I try never to play the "believe me I'm an expert" card. Instead, I try to understand where they are coming from.
Sure, sometimes questioners are obstinate and seem uninterested in listening to responses, but that, too, is a way we come to understand the world. It's usually not one misconception that needs overturning, but a bundle of interrelated misconceptions.
Of course, sometimes questions are just so stupid that I'm unable to bridge the gap. I'm amazed sometime how I, as an expert in my field, am defeated on the battlefield of Twitter argument with somebody who knows nothing.
As an expert authority, I expect to be distrusted. That's why I make sure that what I do can be independently verified. Eg. when validating that Hunter Biden email, I showed my work so anybody could do the same.

1/n Okay, nerds, when doing an audit on Windows or Android in order to prove "it wasn't connected to the Internet" during certain dates, what would you look for? I mention this because it's not a standard audit/forensics question.
2/n I mention this because of answering this question. I don't have confidence in the report partly because of my own limitations that I don't know how to do this.
3/ The report says this. The USB part is very good. But the rest is bad. I downloaded OSForenics and made sure: it doesn't have a specific module that deals with this question. Image

@JenAFifield So the context for your questions is this;
1. what auditors like Ben Cotton are asking for sounds pretty reasonable, such as router configuration (not "the routers").
2. this is distorted by Republicans and Trumpists into a conspiracy theory about "the routers".
The data Ben Cotton most wants is any logs of the "MAC addresses" to see if voting machines were connected to the network. MAC addresses are local to a subnet and stripped off from packets before forward to the rest of the Internet.
The next set of data is any flow logs going to those machines, to see their Internet communications during the election.

Stupid @dave_maynor nerd snipping me. Now I need to understand how they did this. I mean, it wouldn't be hard, but the fact they they do it so well is impressive.

So the video mentions your current time as you watch it, both on the screen, and in the voice over. For example, this is what you see at 5:30:
One cool way to do it is so that the underlying streaming technology dynamically creates that part of the stream as it's downloaded.

A simpler way is to simply create 720 possible videos, and that the video you watch is determined by the time when you click on the webpage.

ProtonMail has always been clear: they abide by Swiss law and don't track IP addresses until forced to. Now people are upset at ProtonMail because it works as claimed, not how people assumed because they weren't paying attention.
It's not Proton Mail's "marketing" that's to blame. They've been hitting you over the head that IT'S BASED IN SWITZERLAND since like forever.
On the marketing page that explains "end-to-end encryption" and "zero access to user data", they explain they still abide by Swiss law.

The correct response from Glenn should've been:

"Chelsea: I'm hurt that you feel our friendship is over, but I'm still here for you if you ever change your mind. Please do not let political differences come between us. Glenn".
Otherwise, what Glenn is doing is exactly what he's accusing Chelsea of doing, letting politics overcome friendship, become tribalist, exploiting the situation to score points for his side.
Isn't that what Glenn is doing here? Denouncing former friends with self-victimizing grievances??

1/ No, the iPhone 13 will not talk to satellites.

Instead, the iPhone will (according to rumors) now support another radio band for 4G/5G that was previously assigned to satellite service but which now can be used for terrestrial service.
2/ That band is 2.4835-GHz to 2.4950-GHz.

If that looks too you suspiciously like 2.4-GHz WiFi range, then you'd be right: it's the upper half of Channel 14 in WiFi.

Most countries (except Japan) don't use Channel 14 for WiFi, though. U.S. WiFi goes to 11.
3/ Instead of WiFi, most countries assign it to GlobalStar for use with their "Mobile Satellite Service" (MSS). It's the downlink channel to their satphones, "SPOT" watches, data to oil platforms, satellite messengers, and similar things.
