What happens in Vegas isn’t staying in Vegas<\/a> this<\/em> time, folks.<\/strong> The word is out about The Skanky App Developed By The Skanky App Developers<\/a> Partially Funded By The Buttigieg Campaign. This time, it’s another off-the-shelf Google product<\/a> \u2014 an allegedly “secure Google web form” running on a batch of iPads purchased by the DNC, or “dPads”, as it were.<\/p>\n

An associate professor of CompSci at the University of Iowa promptly went into “OK Boomer” mode,<\/a> blaming the age of the poll workers (70) instead of perhaps considering their over-engineered with built-in security vulns cheesy-ass Google “app” which is basically a hammer in search of a nail, and a disaster waiting to happen so obvious that it’s got a goddamn lampshade hanging on it.<\/p>\n
