She says she's fully vaxxed but is still required to quarantine because she doesn't have Justine Turdreau's app on her phone.

Up the volume. It's just great.

Newly-Unveiled Nevada Caucus App for DEMS.

Newsweek: Election Security Institute Criticizes Newly-Unveiled Nevada Caucus App After Iowa Disaster.

The Open Source Election Technology (OSET) Institute began its Twitter thread Sunday...
[.]
"Deja Vu; this time in NV," OSET's first tweet read. "Let's be clear from the start: their's is an 'App' and no designation of 'tool' changes that. Let's stop playing word games here. The fact that its pre-loaded & may not use mobile connectivity is the only 'difference.'"
[.]
OSET also wrote that the same issues with the app used in Iowa appeared to be present with Nevada's tool: "lack of adequate testing (all aspects); transparent code vetting; training (read the article in #1 above) [sic]; security audit; and above all, resiliency planning."

The organization also called for the NDP (NV Democrat Party) to be more "transparent," and an answer a plethora of questions about the tool: Who developed the tool? Who has tested it? How it will be used to report the results of the caucus?

"In short, if the DNC & NDP want to improve *trust* in all of this, then do the right things," OSET suggested.
[.]
The institute predicted that "the DNC & NDP will *not* engender any trust by failing to completely answer these questions" and that there will be problems with the app on Caucus Day.

"Please prove us wrong," read the final tweet in the thread.

The Nevada Independent: Nevada Democrats debut to volunteers new iPad-based ‘tool’ to calculate math on Caucus Day in the wake of Iowa fiasco.

Another volunteer, who asked for anonymity to speak openly about the training process, said the general sentiment in the room at the training was frustration and confusion. 

But it's a "Newly Unveiled" Shiny, Blue, Bouncy Ball! It's... Newly ! Tastes Great! You'd never know you're drinking instant coffee!

Dear Iowa, The NY Times says your caucus is a relic, your system antiquated, you're too white and the App debacle is YOUR FAULT!

Two elitist NYT columnists blame Iowa for what is directly the fault of the DNC. Monday's Iowa Caucus (why, yes, it does seem like it was five months ago), could have been done by paper balloting and, within a matter of hours, tabulated with reliable and accurate results.

But no. The Democrat National Committee, and its Chair Tom Perez (who promised this would be the most "transparent caucus ever"), had a new, shiny blue bouncing ball to employ in their precious Iowa Democrat Caucus - an App - and they all piddled themselves silly with technology glee. Of course, what happened in the Democrat Iowa Caucus is fully self-inflicted by the DNC and DEM party bigwigs who hate Bernie Sanders. They will do anything to derail his candidacy.

Count on (at least) two writers from the NYT, scrambling to rescue the DNC and put all the blame on stupid, racist Iowa.

The NY Times, February. 6, 2020 (Archived): Thank You, Iowa. You’ve definitively shown us why you shouldn’t be first on the political calendar, and so much more.

Iowa is way too white to have so much influence. So is New Hampshire, for that matter. As a party with a diverse electorate, the Democrats should not be spending so much time and money catering to such a monochromatic subset.
[.]
There is a strong argument to be made that no single state deserves to hold the rest of the electorate hostage the way Iowa has for decades.
[.]
So, thank you, Iowa. This may be the most you have taught the electorate in a long while. Now take your bows, and step aside.

"A monochromatic subset." Okay, then. Instead the DEM candidate should be...uh...the polychromatic Mike Bloomberg?

Step aside, Iowa, the DNC doesn't need or want you. You no longer serve their purposes.

The NY Times, February 4, 2020 (Archived): Are the Iowa Caucuses Finally Canceled?

Iowa’s tech problem.

That's all the excerpt required. Blame Iowa. The App bio-hazard is their fault.

Insult politics, blame others, denigrate the entire people of a state. It's what Democrats do when they don't get their way. Beware New Hampshire.

Iowa Caucus Finally Ends. Let the recount begin!

Well, then - Congratulations to all the hard-working people living in Iowa who were played for rubes and useful idiots in a spectacular failure on the part of the National DNC Party, who is entirely responsible for the Iowa caucus fiasco.

You wouldn't think how they were mistreated and disrespected by National Democrat Socialiste Politburo Headquarters might drive some Iowa DEM voters and supporters towards a different direction, do you?

Smart Ovens Turning Themselves on and Preheating during the night. Manufacturer blames other apps.

The Verge: Your smart oven might be more ready for breakfast than you realize.

Multiple people report that their June Smart Oven turned on by itself during the night and preheated to 400 degrees, perhaps in eager anticipation of the meal it might soon cook. June did not issue a statement regarding the potential cause of this heating fiasco, but it told The Verge that user error was to blame.

In one instance, June blamed the Amazon Alexa integration for the preheating and in another instance said the user may have tapped something within the app that triggered the preheat functionality. In only one case did June send out a new oven, but the company said it was due to “unrelated issues.” The events have users concerned.

"Blame the Other App." Way to go PR Department of June.

One could consider unplugging the oven. This may trigger the physical act of reprogramming when plugged back in. Gee, can the App Dependent Generation burn one calorie by the intense manual labor required to reprogram it? If you get short of breath, sit down, relax, you'll be okay. Really. There's an App for that.

The self-activation, preheating and possible fire is the least of the worries. The smart oven is probably spying on those who own it. It's recording their words and movements. It's monitoring everything they do. And it's talking about them behind their back with the smart fridge, Alexa, the Flat Screen and all the other Black Mirror devices. And their car, and gas, water and electric meters. Wave to the hidden cameras in the ovens, Fitbits, cell phones and flat screens. Your life is being live-streamed on the Dark Web. Yeah, the camera does add ten pounds, but don't worry, ya look fine.

[Delta] also works with Google Assistant. (Because who doesn't want more Gulag in their lives? DD)

[--] while getting ready in the morning, you can rely on this new technology to help prepare your morning joe, just by saying, “Alexa, ask Delta to fill up the coffee pot.” Or if you’re a busy parent trying to get the kids out of the door and you remember that the dog needs water, Delta VoiceIQ technology can also help with that too via an app.

It's always the, "...And More," that gets us to fork over our money, isn't it?

"Alexa, flush." Alexa: "Flushing process begun." Flushing is hard.

It also has Amazon Alexa voice controls built in so you can check the weather, listen to news and order more toilet paper all while sitting on the loo.

Technology provides us, if we choose it, to bypass the physically strenuous act of dialing a phone to order a pizza. Instead, if we choose, we can order said pizza by a few keystrokes on an app. When the pizza arrives, we can if we choose to engage technology, answer and open the door for said pizza, thereby avoiding having to get up off our ass to obtain said pizza. Payment and tip concluded long ago via the app.

Then the task of actually having to feed ourselves is upon us. Will someone break out in a sweat lifting those slices? Pull a humerus or ulna muscle? The act of chewing? Strenuous, pain-inducing torture. Anyone wanna wager that future members of The Seated App Generation will see increases in heart and circulatory-related health problems?

Go ahead, Have a slice. You know you want it!
