President Trump's Ballroom Is Cover for the Biggest AI Data Center in the World

Makes sense and works for me. 

President Trump's Ballroom Is Cover for the Biggest AI Data Center in the World

"...It stands to reason that the president’s primary residence — and emergency command center — should be the most capable AI node in the American government. It stands to reason that its construction would be classified, because announcing the specifications of the nation’s hardened AI command center to the public is not a national security best practice. And it stands to reason that the corporate partners whose business it is to build such infrastructure would be invited to participate, because the federal procurement process is slow and the threat environment is not. ...."

"... below-ground purpose is designed to ensure the survival and dominance of the American republic in whatever crisis comes next. The difference between FDR’s bomb shelter and Trump’s data center is not one of principle. It is one of processing power.

Critics who spent the better part of a year mocking a ballroom may find themselves, in hindsight, having missed the story entirely."

Make sure to keep your router firmware updated. 

FCC bans import of new consumer routers made overseas, citing security risks

"......The order, published late Monday, said the import ban will “include all consumer-grade routers produced in foreign countries.” The FCC said the order does not affect imports or usage of existing routers, but new devices may be granted an exception if the Departments of Defense or Homeland Security approve.

The FCC claimed foreign-made routers “pose unacceptable risks” to U.S. national security, referring to a threat from China-backed hacking groups Volt, Salt, and Flax Typhoon.

According to Reuters, China is said to command around 60% of the market for consumer routers, which connect homes and businesses to the internet.

The FCC said it was taking action because malicious hackers have exploited flaws in foreign-made routers to attack U.S. households, disrupt networks, and enable cybercrime and surveillance......"

The FCC Just Banned the Sale of New Wi-Fi Router Models Made Outside US

"....The order is shocking because it goes beyond merely banning routers from TP-Link, a Chinese-affiliated brand that US officials claim poses a security risk. The FCC issued today's order citing a “national security determination” issued by the Trump administration on Friday. The four-page document says: “Routers in the United States must have trusted supply chains so we are not providing foreign actors with potential built-in backdoors to American homes, businesses, critical infrastructure, and emergency services.” ...
