Comment sweden already did this (Score 1) 180

actually sweden is the example

frankly australian banks have very little clue about outflows and blindly allow transfers without real authorisation (cryptographic) they will allow a internet transfer without a key just a SMS and when SMS can be spoofed it allows all kind of proxies to be setup and real loss's to the consumer

Comment why ? (Score 1) 29

The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface Specification (UEFI) has become the default for booting on AArch64 and x86 systems. It provides a stable API for
the interaction of drivers and applications with the firmware. The API comprises access to block storage, network, and console to name a few. The Linux kernel
and boot loaders like GRUB or the FreeBSD loader can be executed.

Comment PIR sensor - cisco device - (Score 4, Interesting) 86

looks like a pretty basic PIR sensor (I cant see a teardown or any actual details on why its not encrypted )

assigning a desk and then counting if you used it... hmmm as they say the student had keycards so this was just a fluff "research" to back up if the companies devices worked or not...

turning the students into lab rats is pretty common but normally there is a vote/opt in so what they did here is not follow process and since the students are paying for their education (this is america) its the wrong thing to be doing.

anyone actually have teardown photo's and details on the firmware screw up ?

   

Comment exactly - this Hydrogen good at ground level only (Score 1) 133

water vapor is good at the ground level and lets face it hydrogen is a better store of energy than lithium considering the environment overall.

I hope they use the learning to produce a ground level generator or some such rather than fitting it to a plane and polluting even more...

     

Comment University of Cambridge uses Microsoft (Score 1) 91

as the title says, University of Cambridge uses Microsoft and is failing EU laws because of it they have a perfectly good inhouse system but migrated because webmail needs to be fancy...

basically they compromised their in house team and long term vision because someone wanted a quick win and to move on...

they can not add DANE to microsoft even though the exchange team have been promising it for some time...

Comment yes they already can (Score 1) 38

whatsapp has already been compromised by the british intelligence services multiple times because of "bugs"

the gov asking for CSAM is out in the open and unfortunately meta marketing either is not aware of a legal system works... or they are trying to influence it they can abide by the law or be fined and banned

you don't get to appeal legislation if your service is against the law you get fined or put in jail
(maybe your other services get banned I'm sure the shareholders wont care at all loosing a populous state such as UK)
