A cyberattack has caused major disruptions at hospitals in multiple U.S. states, forcing emergency rooms to close and ambulances to be rerouted. The attack targeted Calif.-based Prospect Medical Holdings, which has healthcare facilities in California, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Texas. “Upon learning of this, we took our systems offline to protect them and launched an investigation with the help of third-party cybersecurity specialists,” the company said in a statement, according to The Associated Press. “While our investigation continues, we are focused on addressing the pressing needs of our patients as we work diligently to return to normal operations as...

Big Tech companies are deliberately manipulating the outcomes of our elections and the thinking and beliefs of our children. And they are having an enormous impact.If you doubt that, consider this latest snippet of data from my lab, the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology (AIBRT).Consider this: The GOP currently has a slim 10-seat majority in the House of Representatives. Without Google's interference in 2022, it would likely now have a majority of between 27 and 59 seats.The 2022 midterm elections that gave the Democrats a two-vote majority in the U.S. Senate had quite a bit of help from...

"What was more scandalous than the reporting itself though, is the fact that it exposed the unholy alliance between the intelligence community, social media platforms, and legacy media outlets." Speaking before during the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government’s hearing on Thursday morning, Breitbart politics editor Emma-Jo Morris spoke on the censorship she experienced in 2020 after publishing the initial story on the now-infamous Hunter Biden laptop at the New York Post. Morris said the laptop was "some of the most scandalous reporting of the last decade," but added that "what was more scandalous than the reporting...

A new artificial intelligence app claims to allow the user to chat with Biblical (and not-so-Biblical) characters. A trial run leaves the user hoping that the real Biblical characters are more inspiring than their computer-generated counterparts. Bible Pics Chat claims to allow users “to seek guidance and enter the gateway to biblical wisdom” by chatting with Biblical characters. While AI chat programs are now common, they can be tailored to suit individual preferences. For example, when ChatGPT is asked if God exists, it gives a long preamble followed by an ambiguous and unsatisfying conclusion: “Ultimately, whether or not God exists...

Is there a way to have the 'Links' page where things we've Bookmarked on FR sort by date, rather than alphabetically?

July 13 (Reuters) - Ripple Labs Inc did not violate federal securities law by selling its XRP token on public exchanges, a U.S. judge ruled on Thursday, a landmark legal victory for the cryptocurrency industry that sent the value of XRP soaring. XRP was up 75% by late afternoon on Thursday, according to Refinitiv Eikon data. The ruling by U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres was the first win for a cryptocurrency company in a case brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission -- though it did also give the SEC a partial victory. While the decision is specific to...

The United Nations views AI as essential to accomplishing its 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Why? Because AI can run the world more “efficiently” and autocratically than humans. With AI, enforcement of SDGs would be “standardized” for all, and would thoroughly dispassionate. Technocracy thrives on data, and there is no such things as too much. ⁃ TN EditorA panel of AI-enabled humanoid robots told a United Nations summit on Friday that they could eventually run the world better than humans.

Robots presented at an AI forum said on Friday they expected to increase in number and help solve global problems, and would not steal humans' jobs or rebel against us. But, in the world's first human-robot press conference, they gave mixed responses on whether they should submit to stricter regulation. The nine humanoid robots gathered at the 'AI for Good' conference in Geneva, where organizers are seeking to make the case for Artificial Intelligence and the robots it is powering to help resolve some of the world's biggest challenges such as disease and hunger.

Investigative journalist and Clinton Cash author Peter Schweizer revealed on Sunday that Hunter Biden was paying for a secret global burner phone from AT&T at $300 per month. “We know from the laptop that Hunter Biden’s business paid for a private phone line that Joe Biden used while he was vice president,” Schweizer told Fox News’s, Maria Bartiromo. “It was from AT&T; it was $300 a month, and it was a global phone where you could access somebody anywhere around the world.” “We shared that phone number and that account information with people in the House Oversight Committee.

FReepers, a dear family member has been given 2 weeks notice. Anyone have a recommendation for a seriously good resume writer, who knows current lingo and style and has the ability to highlight skills without writing a novel? This person is greatly talented in many computer, tech, IT things but has some trouble sorting out his resume. I appreciate any suggestions you might have, whether it's a person or a program. Hoping to encourage him to get as many applications out in the next 2 weeks while he still has the job. Many thanks.

VIDEOIs YouTube telling creators who filed video appeals to have their channels remonetized that they have "carefully reviewed" their appeal videos when in fact NO ONE actually looked at them? In my case, I have evidence that they DID NOT look at my video appeal. Not surprising since I sent the appeal video to them yesterday (June 26) AFTERNOON and by 2:08 AM PDT on June 27 they somehow managed to not only "see" my video but also reviewed and passed judgement upon it. "See" in quotes because they did NOT see the video.As a fringe benefit for seeing the...

Windows 10 just loves to create Log files. Those take up space on hard drive. In 28 years of using Windows, I never have found any use for these log files. May be Bill Gates looks at them from your PC. To me they are totally useless, taking up space and slowing down my PC by few micro-seconds for each access. I created this program to delete every one of those log files. Simply double click on the shortcut Logs-Del on your main desktop window and the program does the rest. This program deletes only LOG files, nothing else. Create...

"The FBI verified its authenticity in November of 2019 by matching the device number against Hunter Biden’s Apple iCloud ID," IRS whistleblower Shapley testified. The FBI knew the laptop Hunter Biden abandoned at a Delaware repair shop was authentic back in 2019. IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley Jr revealed in testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee that "in October 2019, the FBI became aware that a repair shop had a laptop allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden and that laptop might contain evidence of a crime." This was a full year before the laptop came to light via the New...

Hunter Biden identified himself as “heteroflexible” on a social networking and hook-up site geared towards people interested in the sexual practices of bondage, domination, sadism, masochism (BDSM), and other forms of fetishism. Hunter Biden’s profile on the website FetLife, short for fetish life, which is described as being like “Facebook for kinksters,” reveals his self-described sexual orientation to be “heteroflexible,” meaning that he is interested in having sex not just with women, but with other men. According to a definition of “heteroflexible” available on the FetLife website, “This term refers to people who are mostly attracted to the ‘opposite’ gender...

I have an add on installed on a different machine that changes the FR posting page to add a bunch of functions (like the options when replying to a post or article here on FR).

An IRS whistleblower just sunk the entire Biden family and implicated President Joe Biden in Hunter’s schemes. The whistleblower revealed that Hunter Biden once sent a text message demanding payment from his Chinese business associate that said: “I am sitting here with my father and would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. “I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”...

Of all the games one would expect to go woke, “Call of Duty” would likely be last on the list. But the long-running shooter series now serves LGBT masters. The firestorm began when Activision Blizzard, the company behind the “Call of Duty” games, demonstrated its far-left loyalty in a series of tweets released in early June. The gaming giant gleefully crowed about how it aimed “to foster an inclusive, supportive, and judgment-free environment,” and how it was “excited to be a part of the Los Angeles Pride Parade on June 11th.”

Radio talk show hostess Kim Komando recently researched the shopping app Temu. She says her research set off some alarms and warns the public to be cautious if they are using this China-based company. Seemingly overnight, everyone’s talking about Temu (pronounced “tee-moo”), an online shopping app that boasts deals that seem too good to be true, like $17 wireless earbuds, $1 “gold” necklaces, and $23 wedding dresses. Over 50 million Americans have downloaded Temu since it launched state-side in September 2022, after it gained traction with expensive Super Bowl ads promising to let you “shop like a billionaire.” Today, Temu...
