MyPillow is auctioning off equipment after retailers pull its products

MyPillow is auctioning off hundreds of pieces of equipment and subleasing manufacturing space after several shopping networks and major retailers took the company's products off shelves.

The Chaska-based manufacturer recently listed more than 850 "surplus equipment" items on the online auction site K-Bid. Sewing machines, industrial fabric spreaders, forklifts and even desks and chairs are up for auction.

Founder and CEO Mike Lindell said MyPillow has experienced a loss in revenue and the items are no longer needed as the company consolidates its operations.

You might be on to something. Take some completely credible allegations that our entire system of government is a corrupt vote fraud mill: 2,000 Mules. Dinesh had the book ready to come out, naming the charities and mules hinted at in the movie, but his publisher pulled the plug and required all Proof to be taken out. And when the Dominion trial failed to produce the secret algorithm, you have to wonder if these claims are encountering a chilling effect.

I studied Mike Lindell’s data that he “bought” from Dennis Montgomery. Some of that data could be PCAP data, but a lot of work would be required in order to discover and restore the exact, meaningful, tabular form.

For example, some of the data has indications of being from Microsoft Excel worksheet table columns . . . and possibly, the table was created by pasting PCAP file data to an Excel worksheet or somehow saving a PCAP file as a table in an Excel file worksheet.

Given that this particular Mike Lindell data that might be from a PCAP file, in such a table of a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet . . . was not saved as an intact table that could be easily read and reviewed . . . but instead, each column of the table had been saved as an independent file:

Independent files like that - each file containing only 1 column of data - were presented by Mike Lindell’s associates at the August 2021 gathering in South Dakota. Intact PCAP files/tables were not presented.

The work to discover a PCAP data set, would take a lot of time - trying to patch together the columns and correctly align the rows.

IIRC, one of the columns consists of encrypted data or possibly encoded Base64.

Not me. I love em. They don’t take a permanent compression set and are 100% easy to fluff in the areas you want.

Lindell thought his product would survive his melt down.

I’ve said this before: You don’t see Michael Jordan getting very political; because Republicans buy sneakers too.

I feel bad for his employees who are taking the hit because of their leader’s narcissism.

If someone could gather PCAP data from the trunk connections that come into and out of the USA carrying internet traffic from China, think of how much data that would be, it would be beyond enormous, to the point a simple laptop probably could not open files that large and that numerous.

If the hackers were from China, why would they necessarily be in China on election day 2020, they could have been spread around the USA in any Starbucks sipping coffee and hacking the system and covering their exact location.

Any group of hackers smart enough to hack an entire Country’s election system, especially one as large as the USA would not be stupid enough to allow their physical location to be determined from simple packet captures and trace routes.

Business’s used to stay out of politics. Not good for business. I guess that’s just fuddy-duddy talk nowadays.

Once leftists start getting involved and setting the tone, at a macrio-level you really have no choice. This is especially true with businesses that have become oligopolistic and have a high cost/time investment in getting started. (e.g. auto manufacturers, cable TV operators, oil refineries, large scale utility companies, massive drug store chains, health insurance) It is more easily done in industries that have more competition and a quick roll-out moderate start-up cost (sandwich shops, breweries, machine shops)

I sure a lot of people still do, why change, especially smaller companies that have no desire to change circuits and phones.

Probably no one is using Basic Rate Interface (BRI) circuits, they are using Primary Rate Interface (PRI) ISDN circuits, I supported and installed hundreds both of them at a Cisco TAC and for a couple of major companies.

I don’t know voice. I work on the data end of things, and there are so many solutions for moving more data faster and cheaper, that I assumed that ISDN went out the way 300 baud Hayes modems went out (faster modems using POTS are still in use at remote ATMs, POS, etc.).

Shows how little I know about a big topic.

I watched the symposium, did you? It sure didn’t seem like “trash” to me.

I saw it at Fred Meyer, agree it was terrible.
Fred Meyer is owned by Kroger, but is far more than a grocery store.

I like the old style (the kind you fluff in the dryer) better than the new style.

Before the advent of MPLS circuits and SIP voice calls, PRI ISDN circuits were basically your only solution.

A simple PRI circuit can handle 23 simultaneous calls at one time, I’ve worked on sites that had a dozen or more of ISDN PRI circuits.

I was part of a team that supported the Voice Network for a worldwide network for a really large company, they had hundreds of ISDN PRI circuits, from telco providers from all around the world, basically every country had their own nationalized telco and they all supported ISDN PRI circuits for voice called.

You would be amazed at some of the most remote locations in the world that had ISDN PRI circuits installed.

Yes, and that’s how I know it was trash, look thru this entire thread, quite a few really knowledgeable people agree with me, the claims of Mike Lindell during that symposium were trash and nowhere near true.

I was really skeptical of his claims before the symposium, knowing how impossible it was to collect the data he claimed, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt, I watched the first couple of hours of the symposium, it was obvious from the start he was spouting things that made no senses and were categorically untrue.

Fox News advertising income will collapse if My Pillow goes out of business.

Lindell was on Bannon’s WarRoom this morning and says this story is bullshit.
