To be truly air-gapped I agree 100%
I have worked on "$adjective" air-gapped systems where there are variables prepended to the term air-gapped.
i.e. internally air-gapped. This means no internal systems can talk to it and no shared internet access (including not running over the same switches and routers).
I believe that there is an effort to dilute the meaning of air-gapped for marketing purposes to make certain products seem more menacing and scary.
This is another of the great "depends"
Air Gapped has (as far back as I can remember) meant no connections to other systems (physical, wifi, etc) in an existing environment. It often also means no shared internet, no inbound internet, or no internet at all.
In addition to the lack of internal connections or internet, it also often means highly-restecited physical access (in another room with wifi shielding) including physical access controls (locked doors with bio locks, cameras on doors etc.) along with other safeguards for sneakernet access.

How many times have people claimed the cyber world will end because of an exploit?
The only real time I got literally out of my chair was wannacry … I had seen MSBLASTER in 2003 and written a response routine as the org I was in was 50 percent down for 3 days ish…. I was allowed on the Friday to run my crappy code and we cleaned the place up very rapidly!
With wannacry I was like: smb worm 🪱 that encrypts…. That fucking terrible.
I was in a Michellin star restaurant with T and friends and then a message came in saying: Dan we need you here…
I then shot off to grab my kit then head to an nhs trust……
That’s not to say the others weren’t and aren’t important (they are)
Log4j was a bloody mess….
This game is complex as fuck.
Not sure what you are asking.
So I will answer to what I think you are asking.
I entered the lottery from Buffalo Trace as myself. I do not own a store.
I would have needed to drive to Frankfurt to pick up the bottle if I had won.
:-)
Now I am even more sad I didn't win the lottery for this one :(
Is this new Elmer T. Lee 40th Anniversary bourbon from @BuffTrace and good or is it all hype? Let’s find out!
"Alerts, alerts in the dark....
