What really pisses me off is that Amazon used to have an option called "frustration free packaging", which used generic brown cardboard with minimal print instead of ugly ass plastic layers, and it was easy to open without any tools. That feature is LONG gone.

Because, yes, we all need over-sized retail hang tab packaging when ordering shit on the internet, am I right !?

That's why I'm on Tok Tok, so I can Tok to all my friends anywhere in the world!

Your assumption is entirely based on a single-user use case.

The FCC definition is more designed for a "family" home where there are multiple concurrent users.

Also, streaming video isn't the only purpose of the internet.

I personally have a L1Tech KVM and am running at 5120x1440 @ 240Hz right now. That resolution is nearly the same bitrate as 4K. And yes, that's a single monitor through a single DisplayPort cable through the KVM.

it isn't software, it is pure hardware. they've gone to great lengths to make this thing work a hell of a lot better than anything else.

"software" would add latency, not really support VRR, and fail at things like 4k/240Hz, which is all supported on their KVM.

their KVMs cost $$$ because they're the bleeding edge of switching hardware.

how much does a 40gbps ethernet switch cost? because that's about how much bandwidth this thing is passing through it.

I think you should read the entire NIST document.

I believe what you're referencing is in regards to pin authentication, NOT password authentication. There are multiple references to passphrases and other authentication methods too.

That is a very VERY lengthy document, if you cherry pick a single sentence without the surrounding context, sure, any one singular thing from it could potentially sound bad, but the document goes into great details about exactly what you're describing with entropy and brute forcing.

"Seriously. Go fix some real problems like standardizing password complexity rules or encouraging developers to use alternatives to passwords."

Spoken like someone far outside of the infosec space.

There is literally an organization inside of the United States Federal Government that does just this:

From the actual PDF paper, they go into details about various conferencing apps like Skype, Zoom, Teams, etc where the audio would already be available to a remote entity.

Essentially think of it like screen-sharing and typing in your credentials for someone else to see.

And yeah, while the attack vector currently has a low probability of success, things like this only get better with time.

I still remember from many MANY moons ago a research paper on recreating a house key from a low resolution photograph taken with a flip phone from that era, and now we're all walking around with 4K cameras in our pockets with insane zoom lenses with better clarity and greater ISO tolerances.

That's a whole hell of a lot of words for basically saying "they've employing 3 researchers / year, who get to keep their research"

This honestly feels more like an experiment for the firm than anything else... oh, and a publicity stunt for sure!

Come to the BSD world. We have "doas" instead.

https://xkcd.com/1357/ not only the comic, but the alt-text is an absolute banger.

Fueled by idiots too stupid to switch their workloads over to the vastly more lucrative AI workloads that are as equally worthless to society!

But still needed to layoff 1900 people this past week.

At least they waited until literally the day after a live conference to can entire teams, the ones that were putting on the show!?

What a shitty company right now.

Remember when they discontinued the 1GB Raspberry Pi 4, and then lowered the price of the 2GB to $35 to take its place? And then a year or so later, re-introduced the 1GB and pushed the 2GB back up in price?

Yeah, they would never raise prices.

Considering between ATSC 2.0 and ATSC 3.0 OTA broadcasts, I get 50+ channels for free, yes, it is more expensive!
