Please show me where any country is "shitting themselves over Russia" after the master stroke in self destruction Russia has displayed in Ukraine?

How did they justify this statement? A press release from Putin.

Effectively, yes.

The consortium just linked to the original story from Indian Punchline (the author's personal blog) where the author quoted the statement from a TASS article.

It's not hard hitting, factual news. It's an OpEd piece from a blogger.

If we wrapped Robert Parry's corpse with copper wire and surrounded his casket with magnets, we could probably power a small city with the electricity from him turning over in his grave at how far Consortium News has fallen in publishing articles like this.

If you set up hardware encryption, be sure to change the master password and set the security level to maximum.

Be aware, this password is different than the Physical Secure ID (PSID) printed on the front of the disk. PSIDs are used when the release to reset command doesn't work, typically due to key issues, and the drive gets "locked".

You use the PSID to run a revert to factory defaults command, unlocking the drive. Since this triggers the drive to release its' key, the drive is considered "cryptographically erased" when you do this.

If you revert the drive, data on it is unrecoverable.

If you're going to revert a drive, I suggest using a QR Code reader to get the PSID off the drive. Some venders are sadists with the font they choose making it so much fun to figure out if it's a 1, l i I I O or 0...

It sounds like the article is an update to the age old performance issue discussions between hardware and software RAID solutions.

If you use a software solution for anything where there's a dedicated hardware solution, the software solution is always slower due to CPU overhead.

Article recommendation boils down to: If you're going to use encryption, and you want your full disk speed, use a hardware encryption solution. In their test their hardware supported OPAL.

No, they don't.

SSDs, unless you buy a specifically encryption supported drive, are not encrypted. If it doesn't indicate SED, SED non-FIPS or a FIPS certification level, the drive doesn't have an encryption circuit.

Most of SSD already has good encryption methods

Unless you purchase a SED-non FIPS or FIPS SSD, no, they don't

and an easy way to safely wipe data without re-writing each byte.

ATA Secure Erase is a god send for SSD.

You're correct, it was the truck

It went from Columbus to Georgia, think the redline is to show the level of stupid. Shipping history, since he was kind enough to provide the USPS tracking number in his screenshot:

The B52s that started Gulf War came from Louisiana. They flew nonstop to the Middle East then returned to their base in the U.S. 35 hours of flight time with no stopovers...

Guam to Korea is a short stroll.

or Guam.

his company has a long long history of treating employees like shit.

Can confirm, it's a shitty place to work. They try to cover up the crap with their yearly Tell Dell survey. Basically ask how you feel about the company, then proceed to shit on the local managers if you make any comments negative to corporate management or the "culture" they try to portray.

My local manager and the layer above them are about the only people I have any respect for.

I'm sure they say they are. I'll still doubt their capability

Not talking artillery here. Talking small arms ammo. I'm pretty sure Russia doesnt come close to producing 2m artillery rounds per year. Saw an article the other day about them running out of artillary barrels. If they couldn't manufacture enough barrels to keep up with shooting, I doubt their general manufacturing capacity.

Outside of that, that's two million non-NATO small arms rounds being donated by the private sector. Pretty sure the government would send M4s and SAWs with 5.56.

You have to wonder if Putin's ass is jealous of the shit his mouth spews.

Two million rounds of 7.62x39, as of last year, from ammo manufacturers
not sure how much of it was in this latest US military donation

Russians and their fan-bois need to chest beat over whatever they can find at this point.

7% of just the one type... Not of all tanks. That being said, I get where you're coming from. 14 Challengers, 31 Abrams... Guess it's going to boil down to if the countries can/will replace the losses.

Tell me you didn't read the article without telling me you didn't read the article.

The complaint about armor (tanks) being destroyed seems odd. Last report I saw had them losing five of the 70 Leopards and a single Challenger so far.

I wonder if the complaint is directed at the amount of maintenance/depot work that needs to be done to keep them running. That would kind of make sense. Countries that donated them have significantly more of them than donated, so cycling them through depot repair would barely be a cause for concern.
