FTA:
"and the company resolved to migrate its backend to Scala, a more robust language."

If they were serious about performance they'd have skipped all languages except those that run bare metal. Modern C++ is a seriously powerful and fast - albeit perhaps too complicated - language without all the gotchas of older C++ and plain C.

It would even get close to emerging. Free floating RNA and DNA precursors + fatty acids are a tasty lunch to a lot of microorganisms.

If the pictures were encrypted so the company couldn't decrpyt them wtf would be the point of sending them in the first place!? Its a service, not a personal file server for poo pictures.

This "security researcher" seems to lack even basic common sense.

Russian astronaut photographs US hardware to show to his bosses. Wow! Might as well have a headline about the toilet habits of bears or the religion of the pope. The only thing that surprises me is that only now has one of them been caught doing it.

Same thing "dude". Fucks sake.

It must be Irony Day again.

Oh dear, has ickle snowflake been triggered? Go admire the cheesy goth tats on your spotty face in the mirror and calm down.

So injecting an artificial dye into the human body can have deliterious effects! Who'd have thunk it?

Luckily - other than with criminals - covering yourself in naff tats seems to have been a millennial fad that is slowly fading. I guess they still wanted to look tough (failed) while sipping their skinny latte frappucino with whipped cream.

Gen-Z seem to be a bit body smarter.

... as some well meaning albeit flawed tech hero. He's not.

He's just another corporate sociopath - the only thing that matters to him is money and power. He'll only help out when its suits his purposes such as for Good PR , but like a lot of bullies he's also a coward to so won't put up when he really needs to such as in blocking starlink inside parts of russia.

The guys who make the most noise are usually the ones with the smallest balls.

Unless there's CCTV watching every charging point how would they prove it? You think the police have time to DNA sample every tack and force every adult in the local area to give a sample?

Idiot.

They'll soon get the message.

You cant fire someone for following current company policy.

FTA:

"Some older A320 jets will need entirely new computers rather than a simple software reset, raising questions about how long those aircraft will remain grounded amid global chip shortages."

Given the "update" is back to an older version of the software wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to wait for an update to the latest code rather than ripping out computers to replace with older hardware which will have to taken out again and re-upgraded when the fix eventually does come out?

Putin has gone way beyond any semblence of being an intelligent leader. He's become nothing more than a white equivalent of a psychopathic and corrupt african style banana republic leader who only cares about money and staying in power. He won't give a damn about russias space ability now.
