Redhat were very successful with the open source, but paid support model, so it could happen.

Inertia would be hard to overcome, anyone using sales force right now is probably not gonna want to risk a newcomer.

You use a console? Noob… Magnetised needle is where the real productivity is at.

His wife was a little less impressed /s

Hans Reiser was convicted of murdering his wife. He is (was?) in jail.

There are two reasons to avoid a union:

1. Fear of retaliation - Amazon et al.
2. Perceived lack of need.

If you are well looked after by your company and are treated fairly, there is no need to create a union.

Apple may be in this category?

You’ll definitely get lots of login attempts. I used to have a port 22 ssh, hundreds of attempts per day.

Would be interesting to see what post login behavior was.

Wanna bet they expose SSH on port 22 to the internet on their “critical” servers? 🤣

Sure, but the author makes it sounds like thats its their standard way of doing things, which is insane.

And if you do have a misconfiguration, the rational thing is to fix that, not dump the entire platform.

If the hypervisor or any of its components are exposed to the Internet

Lemme stop you right there, wtf are you doing exposing that to the internet…

The malware argument is a bit weak, if your router is vulnerable to something it’ll likely be found and pwnd in a matter of minutes, so turning it off a night won’t really save you. And once a patch is released, it’ll be reverse engineered in a few hours/days, so ideally you want patches as soon as they are released.

Using your own device is usually a good idea anyway, telco stuff is usually pretty mediocre. And as soon as your device is slightly custom, it becomes a less valuable target.

Sure, except we are defenceless to the rampant dropbears. /s

Australia is a funny example for gun control. Yanks seem to think we have no guns at all, but the reality is that as long as you are mentally sound and store your guns safely, they aren’t that hard to get.

Yup, I mispoke, but essentially yes, they could be DC, but at a significantly higher voltage than 12v DC.

Some appliances use the AC frequency to timekeep as well, but given almost all appliances have microcontrollers now, that hardly matters anymore.

I would have thought DC motors would have worse longevity, given they have a wear surface due to the split ring commutator? Unless they are talking about ESC DC motors?

All the small stuff is low voltage DC, but just about every appliance requires AC (ovens, dishwashers, kettles, toasters, washing machines, aircon). Running an oven on 12v DC would be insane.

Im willing to believe it exists, but not that its any good. 99% is a crazy accuracy claim.

That is a long video, is the paper published somewhere?

Im willing to accept that you can statistically “watermark” the text, but I’m not convinced that it would be tamper resistant, which is a large part of what makes a watermark useful. If it can’t survive an idiot with a thesaurus, its probably not gonna be terribly useful.

The arstechnica article speculated it was more of a pattern of words thing.

I think it is lies, and doesn’t exist or work anywhere near as good as they claim. Or, its incredibly easy to bypass.

I have a travel router as well, I just prefer to keep the SSIDs different. It is definitely paranoia, but if someone sees your travel router at a hotel, they know your not home, and your home can be found on wigle.net.

Its not that bad to reset the Chromecast, and I do it infrequently, so I’m happy with that.

I take my Chromecast on holiday, you basically have to factory reset it every time to change network. But my recollection is that you’ve always had to do that.

Remind me, what app did it use before? I have had Chromecast since gen 1, can’t remember any other app, but that’s probably my memory failing.
