    Pretty much anyone who speaks of “tech” tends to have no idea of that they are talking about. Same applies to people using “cyber” as if it was a real word outside of Science Fiction, and a very niche niche branch of engineering that doesn’t necessarily deal with computers.

      I don’t think it just about tech and cyber, “medical/military grade” is very close on how it’s used and how little people understand what they actually mean… A person working close to a military would avoid many “military grade” products and so on.

        It’s as with anything manufactured for a public institution. It won a bid by being the cheapest (and/or bribing an official). Once you know that, you’ll look at the world with different eyes.

          Grade refers to the minimum specifications tho, they don’t even describe the whole product
