Amazon getting hit? Could be more cyberwar against the CIA. (Eg. Vault 7)

And we thought the management engine was bad...

Yep. This was a bargaining chip in both the Hillary email and Trump Collusion cases. The oversight team kept on explaining abuses and lack of compliance as a reason not to renew.

Too bad there is more than one surveillance database now. CIA has one, Amazon has one, Google has one, etc. Not to mention the same thing from other Governments.

MI6 = CIA. NCA = FBI.

These corporations need to start being subjected to the same extremely harsh computer legislation that an average citizen would be. https://gizmodo.com/mozilla-slipped-a-mr-robot-promo-plugin-into-firefox-1821332254

But since the American justice system runs on dollar bills, the above will never happen.

What's amusing here is that Mozilla has criticized others for sneaking add-ons in before, and they've even locked down Firefox against such practices. And now, *they* do it themselves! "Do as I say, not as I do" springs to mind. I am in the US, and this one showed up in Linux.

What will happen if I draw too many amps from a modern (decent quality) PC PSU? Will it shut down gracefully, or will it do something worse? I destroyed more than a few of those conventional AC adapters/wallwarts when I was a kid by doing this! But I would like to think that improvements have been made.

fkn limits, i forgot... forget it - you're fine. Just don't make any internal hardware changes while the machine is on - the worst that can happen is your PSU won't kick out 1.21 gigawatts to go back in time to let you know that daisy-chaining un-fused sockets to anything is a bad idea.
Also that PSU's have always worked this way (except now I think they have inrush to charge @ 60a / 240v).

I'm talking about drawing too much power inside the computer. I've seen people intentionally short out a PSU, and it just shut off gracefully without damage. (impressive). So I hope a modern one would shut down if the load exceeds the max output.

@Kano, take this thread to the tech support section fella. The update column isnt really to right place for this.
