@KEEMSTAR Just another Monday in IT Support... Last week https://t.co/yZ1S33KC6F SIP services and then Let's Encrypt Root CA expired. Can't wait to see what else is instore for us this week!
leaders are regarding cryptocurrencies and Digital Assets. @SenWarren has preached for decades against the banks. Digital Assets are a way for regular people to become more financially independent and less dependent on the banks. Yet, she and others, condemn #BTC and Crypto. 🤦♂️
Why don't they invest in their network that has outages and disruptions on a regular basis? Why can't a tech company, just be a tech company and get that right!
H/T to @billoislove for pointing me to this political statement from the boss of Comcast, owner of Sky.
