let's be clear here, the people these corporations work are not looking to thwart cyber attacks, they are looking to thwart cyber attacks against themselves. the rest of us will still be considered their cannon fodder.
how to address technically competent people who make nonsensical decisions.
for people who are completely hardened and unwilling to even consider the possibility that they are wrong, there is nothing you can do besides fork the code and go on. however, people may not be hardened like you think so in the case of UI choices, a usability study could be performed. it will require significant effort but it may change some minds. the question you must then contend with is if it's easier to fork or is it worth the effort to run a study. the windows 10 preview was effectively a study on how usable their UI was.
you know that DRAM hack-attack that was just made public? how much you wanna bet the US gov had a hand in making that possible?
CIA Tried To Crack Security of Apple Devices when the NSA already did
should've just asked, bros!
A friend of mine built a "device" for an event, which was basically a directed microwave cyclotron. He shot it at a staged PC across the room and it crashed.
a 10 GHz pulsed magnetron will distrupt (unshielded) electronics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Being able to 100% protect the President is something they have to get right the first time, and every time.
tell that to JFK.
come on, you tell me google is trying to destroy everything good about the world and now you say they aren't? what am i supposed to do with this google outrage now?! editors, this type of sloppiness is OUTRAGEOUS! nevermind... problem solved itself.
It's because they have no deemed economic value.
it's ironic because there is a disproportionate amount of intelligent and successful CEOs with mental illnesses (besides socio/psychopathy) that they have managed to get under control.
Until you have been made unemployed you really can not understand how brutally our system is geared towards assessing a human being's total value solely on their economic utility.
this is something i know quite well. If anyone needs a C++ programmer, i'm available for hire.
it seems to me that making treatment free (it's expensive!) and encouraging people to get help rather than shaming them for feeling badly would be a better way to go.
society doesn't want spend money to help the mentally ill which ironically bites them in the ass because about 1/3 of the homeless have a form of (untreated) mental illnesses which is why they are homeless. it costs more to have social programs for the homeless than it does to actually help them or even give them homes! i'm sure it would cost much less if we had free treatment to prevent them from becoming homeless in the first place.
wake up, society!
if people attack anything that is known to be vulnerable then we actually might get some decent software security! putting our heads in the ground isn't going to solve the fundamental issue that we have wildly insecure systems.
once you have reactors, you're stuck with them for the better part of a century and when shit goes wrong, it goes really wrong.
can we start switching over to solar panels and batteries yet? seriously, we are bombarded by free power every single day!
These police are complete fucking idiots if they think this was the motive. It's quite obvious the objective wasn't theft, it was just to cause damage.
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity/greed.
search for streacom fc8 as the case. then, stay under 65w (to be safe) and you can be fully fanless.
for htpc use, there is NO reason to ever have a fan, again. even the i3 has a 35w chip that works just fine for movies and desktop stuff.
At $190 for the case alone, I can think of at least a hundred reasons not to build a fanless box.
i can think of at least 190 reasons to use ARM over x86.
a nice fanless i7 (haswell) build, with the magic being a heatpipe heatsink case and a 45w i7 chip:
heat pipes, that's cute. i rather stick to ARM chips and save money on both processor and cooling.
pff... call me when you get serious and put an ARMv8 processor in there.
