bit late to the convo, but most voting machines are made by the manufacturers of ATM's and ATM's are filled with security holes its just that the machines are often in very public places, they're not secure they're just relying on other factors to prevent loss of money, any company willing to lose money mostly relying on banks to keep it hush hush because their reputation would be damaged also.... if they do that with money on the line, do you really think they care about vote tampering...

does tyt ever mention being demonitized? I assume they do just like all news channels but if they don't then they're clearly on a special list that will make them less likely to be banned

an atm is pretty much a normal windows pc in most cases

with a touchscreen and a card reader

conected to a intranet (a private Wide Area Network / WAN) that spans over the county, city or state

in best practices

but novadays you cans ee atms conected to the internet

i wouldnt be surprised if thats the case too with the voting machines

its worse than a normal windows pc, its usually windows xp

still

which means it gets no security updates and all the holes are known

@okbork tim responded

Hey, I'm a Gamergate dude/normie to this Discord. @Timcast talked about GG in a recent video for a fake news article that claimed "no one on the GG reddit got more than 300 upvotes". Tim repsonded with the fact that there was a post that had nearly 500 points and that plagiarism wasn't the biggest deal to that community.

The thing is though that it was actually a decently bigger deal than that on the sub. For some reason Tim organised by new instead of relevance or top when searching for “IGN”. If he organized by relevence, he would have noticed that it's the 2nd result that comes up (across all time) with over 900 upvotes, 149 comments and multiple followups that hit similar numbers. Same thing happens if you search by top of this month. On the day it was put out it had hit the top of the sub in less than an hour. I understand that Tim was defending GG, I'm not trying to reeee at him or anything. But since he filtered by new for a situation that was resolved almost 2 weeks ago, he made it seem like it had signifigcantly less impact for people in the movement than it actually did.

Anyways Sorry if I've been a bother, I know he's got bigger stories to talk about and all that, just wanted to get that out there.

me no Gamergate

Also it's worth noting that IGN actually handled this case well. They fired him as they should have. GG was more about systemic issues than any one person being corrupt. It's inevitable that something like this will happen from time to time. It's when the game journos and their publishers all circle the wagon around cases like this that GG really cares. If the websites would respond this way to all breaches of ethics then GG wouldn't exist.

Yeah pretty much.

To be honest, if gg went after him harder the sites will be crying harrassment

But hes been fired, articles deted, what else are they expecting gg to do?

Drive him out of the video game industry... Oh wait he already was

Sucks for him, last 2 editors in his position went on to work for nintendo.

been watching videos about this ign thing for days

even philip de franco talked about it

its basicly lying propaganda that article he read

Imagine if the writer was a woman. The narrative will be different.

"I used a block list to make sure that everyone who talks about GG positively or follows any pro-GG people are blocked." "Why don't I see anyone talking about this??"

Oh, not just was that guy fired from IGN & had his review deleted, he created a (NOT) apology video & challenged people to prove that he has plagiarised before, not just did he have multiple instances of plagiarizing stuff that was posted to IGN (which also had to be deleted), he also plagiarized a a job template on his linkedin account.

"I hate that you can't criticize things because you'll be called a bigot" - Tim... Welcome to the Anti-SJW side of the culture war, because even if you don't identify with that side, the SJW's will make damned sure people see you that way.

And you know why they say 'Alt Right' as often as they do.. lol

They WISH 'Anti-SJW' had the same sting.

But no. SJWs are FINALLY reviled now. And anti-that sounds heroic.

My god it took so long for SJWs to be hated, but now it's so glorious.

SJW was originally THEIR term. They LIKED IT.

Then again the ones calling themselves antisjw are kinda cringy in their own right.

Why?

I mean if that's your entire identity.

But it's often just one checkbox of many.

Mainly if thats their entire thing is based of refuting another instead of standing on its own. Then yeah.

Being an SJW often dictates everything else about you.

Being Anti-SJW is on the side of logic, so you can come from any walk of life to be that.
