„And as much fun as we all are having watching Congress render itself irrelevant and wondering whether the courts even matter, there’s a concrete nightmare looming. Mass unemployment, the defunding of crucial social programs, and just plain incompetence mean that America, as we know it, is already in for hard times.“

US Cyber Agency Puts Election Security Staffers Who Worked With the States on Leave https://www.securityweek.com/us-cyber-agency-puts-election-security-staffers-who-worked-with-the-states-on-leave/
@percepticon so the people responsible for securing elections in the US are on administrative leave now…
By now, anyone who isn’t speaking as if the US was a democracy (in the past tense) is severely misinformed.

This is the woman Elon Musk killed. Pe Kha Lau, a 71-year old refugee from Myanmar dies after being sent home from from USAID funded hospital which Musk abruptly shut down in the name of government savings. In the meantime, State Department was getting ready to buy 400 million worth of Teslas which they now deny and blame on Biden (I don't believe that for a minute). Let that sink in ...

Trump’s whole job now is to distract us from whatever Musk is up to, which is the massive theft of U.S. resources and the ultimate privatization of the public sphere, without giving up any of its taxpayer funding, of course.

Weekly output: Musk digitally deleting USAID, Arm vs. Qualcomm, U.K. vs. Apple, 8K TV, Bletchley Park
One of this week’s published stories began with reporting weeks ago; another began with notes and photos taken months ago.
2/3/2025: Musk’s Minions Deleting Digital Presence of US International Development Agency, PCMag
I could not just write about the weird digital erasure Elon Musk and his goons have been inflicting on the online presence of the U.S. Agency for International Development without reminding readers of three important bits of context: USAID does good and useful work (as vouched for in that quote from Georgetown University government-department chair Anthony Arend, four of whose classes I took as an undergrad 35-plus years ago); USAID constituted all of .4% of the federal budget in fiscal year 2024; Elon Musk’s tweets show no sign of him having any interest in the agency until January.
2/6/2025: Arm Drops Effort to Cancel Qualcomm’s Chip-Licensing Deal, PCMag
If you were considering buying a Windows laptop with one of Qualcomm’s power-efficient Snapdragon X processors, this should rank as very good news.
2/7/2025: Report: UK Orders Apple to Disable E2E Encryption on iCloud Backups Worldwide, PCMag
Writing up the Washington Post’s scoop about this dangerous demand by the U.K.’s Home Office gave me a crash course in looking up and citing legislation on Parliament’s Web site–without which I would have been writing about the Investigatory Powers Act without pointing people to the text of that 2016 statute and its 2024 amendments.
2/8/2025: In 2025, the Picture for 8K TVs (Still) Isn’t Looking Too Bright or Sharp, PCMag
I originally had delusions of writing this piece from CES with a Las Vegas dateline, but the weeks since then allowed me to get some additional numbers from the Consumer Technology Association and quiz another analyst as well as the head of the 8K Association.
2/9/2025: To See Codebreaking At Its Most Metal, Visit Bletchley Park, PCMag
Some of you may remember my writing a piece about Bletchley Park for the long-gone information-security publication The Parallax in 2018. I decided to revisit this museum of WWII codebreaking when my trip to London in October for Uber’s Go-Get Zero event (on Uber’s dime) left me with an afternoon free, and I’m glad I did because I was able to check out one exhibit that I’d had to skip earlier and see a few exhibits they’d added since then.

@rysiek Looks like you're not the only person to point to the #MuskCoup as relating to Soviet traditions. #JeetHeer describes it [1] as dual power [2]. Wikipedia gives the #PetrogradSoviet that led to a #Bolshevik uprising as the classical example of dual power [2]. So Secretary-General Stalin may have learnt from that.
Seems like #FührerMusk is combining the symbols/techniques of the two main totalitarian traditions of the XXth century.

This sickens me for various probably-predictable reasons I may still write about later, but for now I'm just referencing the facts presently known.
«The Washington Post, citing two unnamed people, reported representatives from DOGE were using AI through Microsoft’s Azure service to go through data with “personally identifiable information for people who manage grants, as well as sensitive internal financial data”»
«Elon Musk's DOGE is working on a custom chatbot called GSAi. The chatbot is part of Elon Musk and President Donald Trump's ambitions to use AI and other technologies to cut costs and modernize the US government.»

Who would've guessed the guy who kept boxes and boxes of top secret classified documents in his bathroom would open a hacker's firesale in the nation's most sensitive data archives?
