My hubby and I received notice that we are required to sign up with ID.me in order to access our SS info. My hubby has done so and it was very glitchy. It worries me that our government is forcing people onto a platform that you can also use to shop. I don’t understand the technical part of it all but it makes me nervous.

Your instincts are correct.

In fact anything on the Internet is hackable by folks with the proper skills.

If you want privacy talk to your dog.

Outside.

No cell phone.

Reminds me of the USA ground stop on 9/11.

Reboot was successful.

There is a second option to log into “SSA.gov”...other than the the private company/3rd party “ID.me”....it is “Login.gov”:

(In reality “Login.gov” is probably implemented by a 3rd party govt. contractor, so probably just as vulnerable to “mayhem” as “ID.me”).

Whoa!

Of course they are not connected to the Internet, now are they;)?

Thursday afternoon. We had incoming passengers to DIA on Frontier. Their plane landed but no one was allowed off. The gate was changed and the plane moved at least once.

We visited with several out going passengers. Their flights were canceled and they had to wait over 2 hours to retrieve their checked bags so they could go home and try again on Friday.

The call for paper ballots should go out now.

CrowdStrike Falcon on Windows BSOD ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Thanks to MikelTackNailer for the ping!

I cannot stand Microsoft.

They don’t even give you a local Windows account option. You literally have to break their install to get it back.

Microsoft is complete spyware.

[SecondAmendment]

You mean global Microsoft failure hits banks, etc.

What do you expect from the company who's ex-founder wants you to live as a serf and eat bugs ?

[ConservativeMind]

Cloudstrike lied about the “DNC” hack, to cover for the murder of Seth Rich.

They are reminding us that if the Ukraine money does not continue to flow, they will work with Microsoft to wipe us all out.

[Boogieman]

Hahaha. All these years of me ignoring CrowdStrike’s sales calls to my company because of their complicity with the DNC’s hoax over Hillary’s emails is finally paying off.

[Shady]

There are none. The NYSE is open, their systems “unaffected,” but how many brokers are up the creek? Watch the markets today, could be very interesting..

[Shady]

Well, Bill Gates was the founder, after all.

One of two (2) things:

This is the deep state saying, "Look what we can do to you....how about AC going off on the hottest days? "

or China saying "Joe is our boy....don't vote for Trump".
