Trump’s Tech Tango: CISA Shakeup & Apple’s Dictation Drama
Apple’s iOS dictation software has a curious “Trump-racism glitch” that’s causing chuckles and confusion. When users say “racism,” the software sometimes hears “Trump” before correcting itself. Apple promises a fix, blaming the mix-up on a pronunciation hiccup. Until then, many are left wondering if their phones are secretly political commentators.
Hot Take:
Who needs a well-functioning cybersecurity agency when you can just let it run wild like a reality TV show? Troy Edgar thinks CISA needs to be “reined in,” but maybe what it really needs is a good old-fashioned management rodeo to get things back on track. After all, who hasn’t wanted to switch gears mid-investigation of a massive foreign cyber-espionage campaign? And as for Apple’s dictation glitch, maybe we should just call it the “iTrump” feature and move on. Who knew cybersecurity and voice recognition could be this entertaining?
Key Points:
- Troy Edgar, nominee for deputy director of DHS, believes CISA has had the wrong management and needs restructuring.
- Edgar supports the disbanding of CISA’s Cyber Safety Review Board, a decision made during the Trump administration.
- Apple’s dictation feature hilariously misinterprets “racism” as “Trump,” causing a viral sensation.
- Elon Musk’s cost-cutting initiative, DOGE, sees new leadership while facing mass resignations.
- Gleason, former USDS staffer, is now a senior advisor overseeing DOGE’s controversial efficiency efforts.
