The person who made the report is a professional penetration tester. His usual method is to look for anything that could be wrong and then test whether it actually is. What he found is that the AI tools came up with potential issues he hadn't thought of, and they weren't all wrong, so it's a valuable tool to him because he normally runs out of ideas rather than running out of time to test them. He complained about the UI making it hard to go through large lists of reported issues exhaustively, and he only used the suggested fixes to get a better idea of what the issue was supposed to be. So it's clear that the tool's output wouldn't be directly useful to a maintainer, but it does serve a purpose.

You might be right about the rest, but the Aptera is far more efficient than a Model 3. The published numbers put it at about 110 Wh/mile, while the Model 3 is at 230 Wh/mile. And, frankly, the Aptera numbers seem a little high for a vehicle with a 0.13 drag coeffiecient and with one less wheel. I think the Aptera design should be able to do better than 100 Wh/mile. Obviously, it's hard to make an accurate comparison between a real-world car and one that is basically vaporware, but something would have to be seriously screwed up for a design as light and aerodynamic as the Aptera to be barely better than a Model 3.

I'd buy one if they ever get around to making them. I've been wanting to buy one for 15 years.

Sure sounded like one. The questions posed could have been worded more clearly with less room for wiggling. But the bot did an excellent job of avoiding all the questions.

Nevermind. The problem was my /tmp ramdisk was full. I guess Fedora uses tmpfs by default and it's a fixed size. This has bit me before. Wonder if I can change it back to a normal directory on the disk.

This is FOSS done right. It's the applications that matter the most for organizations. If you can migrate them first to FOSS solutions then the OS doesn't matter so much and Linux because feasible. If you can break the addiction to MS Office and Exchange, that's 90% of the battle. Good on them. Sounds like they've had success doing that which means any future Linux migration will have a higher chance of succeeding.

I had forgotten about this add-on. I tried to install it just now and Firefox says it's a corrupt package. Right from the Firefox Add-on site even.

I'm not sure you understand how venture capital works.

No these computers plug straight into 110v (or 220v). Yes they are modern laptop components inside. If you're replacing an old desktop computer and already have a screen, these are way more economical than a laptop. Have you looked at cheap old laptops lately? You can buy them on Amazon for a song, but they are all 10 years old. These mini PCs are simply a better buy. I use them for mini servers. They may be 10 times more expensive than a Raspberry Pi, but with 10 times more utility in my opinion. For the most part I'm done with ARM SBCs.

So good to hear about these sorts of parents. Kudos to her, and also to the first poster who is able to keep his kids off of devices and social media. Takes a tremendous amount of effort and resources to do that. I know many parents struggle with it. They don't have the time and resources. It's not easy at all. And many single homes are single parent where it's even harder to balance working to survive and helping the children have the best possible chances to succeed.

Last week someone accused me of not being conservative. Apparently I cosplay as a conservative because I'm not a fan of the same political sports team they were. In my mind doing what your friend is doing to raise her kids is the best form of conservatism. A stay-at-home parent is indeed the best way to raise children where possible. We've seen that throughout history, and it's been proven over and over again. Where it's not possible, I am in favor of governments and societies providing assistance to parents in many different forms to ensure they can parent to the best of their ability. A village certainly helps raise a child. Cutting social services, gutting public education certainly does not help improve the outcomes for parents already facing challenges as they do their best to raise kids.

It's so rewarding watching small children discover principles of physics (action and reaction) as they begin to interact with their world. And awesome when they start becoming interested in how things work. Or interested in mundane things around them like insects, or frogs. My niece once spent an hour looking at frogs and toads on the banks of a small pond near her home. Time much better spent than than on a screen that's trying to give her hits of dopamine to addict her to mindless games.

Given his low uid, I'm surprised at gweihir's surprisingly ignorant comments. He's at least as old as I am (I've been reading slashdot since the very beginning which certainly says something about me... sigh). If he had any kids they are long raised by now.

Probably the most inappropriate comment I've read on Slashdot in quite a while. You're way out of line. Stop and think before hitting submit next time.

I suppose you think preventing your kids from smoking, vaping, and consuming alcohol would be child abuse too? I don't think you realize the harm being done to very young children that the original poster has managed to prevent thus far. His children will be well-adjusted and very grateful as they reach adulthood (I know I am grateful for that kind of raising). Kudos to that parent for what they are doing. Keep it up as long as possible!

Yeah, nobody is buying this "sustain the development" nonsense.

Somebody needs to keep the servers patched. Somebody needs to keep the app targeting an API that the app stores will host. Bose can afford maybe 1.5 FTE's with redundancy on a rolling basis.

Did they ignore due diligence for a decade and just get nabbed running RHEL 5 and unlicensed Oracle Java on an old VMWare or something?

If Bose is a public corporation perhaps the FTC should have a look at their deliberations.

Source addresses of the attack are known. The ISPs know which customer was using that address at that time, and dealing with the customer is their problem not the attack target's. If they don't deal with it, they get to deal with lots of angry customers who've suddenly lost connectivity to the majority of the Internet because entire blocks of the ISP's address space are being blocked by Cloudflare et. al..

Time for a law that says that if the manufacturer removes any functionality from a product that was present when it was purchased or originally offered for purchase, any owner of that product is automatically entitled to a refund of 100% of the original purchase price (if they can provide a receipt) or 100% of the initial manufacturer's recommended price (if no receipt is available) upon demand. The manufacturer may, if the owner can't present a receipt, require the owner to provide the serial number, photograph of the serial number and/or photograph of the entire item to claim the refund, and may require the owner to return the item at the manufacturer's expense.
