Took me back over 3 decades - to the world of RegisterBGIDriver, RegisterBGIFont, and InitGraph... Went back to browse the programs I had written in college that were lying in one corner of my NAS... Panicked when TP7.zip was password protected (and the password long forgotten), but found an unencrypted copy... I have probably not touched them for 25 years other than to transfer the backups from one HDD to the other, but now I will be messing with these using virtualbox the next few days!

The scamsters use layers and layers - likely, this guy received money for some service he provided, and the recipient of the service paid the scamster... we will not know what the truth is till it is investigated. My 2 cents on this is one should be very very careful when receiving money thorough non-banking channels, and sometimes, even when it is through banking channels and the name of the sender does not match the recipient of the service... It is sad someone lost money to a scam, but there is no knowing if this person who had the funds is himself a victim, or not.

I have always wondered if NASA could somehow get the dust off the rover's solar panels... if Ingenuity flies over Perseverance, will it help get dust off the rover's solar panels - or would it make the problem worse - perhaps perseverance should drive away from any dust kicked up by the helicopter... Perhaps NASA should try it on earth and then replicate it on Mars.

They must have been thinking "Idiot customers are loading malware to mine crypto.... can we not give them something legitimate and safe..." and this is the only reasonable argument I am able to come up with!!

Could it be TMA-1?

But then, it was found to be buried, in 2001... !

The link in the article leads to the Mars Perseverence rover.

Why would anyone in the tropics need DST??

More important is - How long can humans live a reasonably healthy life....

Patches were released by Mikrotik in April. The upgrades are easy - just a few mouse clicks. Configuring automatic upgrades is also easy. Out of the box, the routers come with a secure WAN configuration.

Given this scenario, if users do not upgrade their router for a significant period of time, and/or configure the routers in a insecure manner, I would not apportion much blame on the supplier.

All routers have had vulnerabilities. The question is how quickly the manufacturer fixes them, if the vulnerabilities were a result of malice or incompetence, is what I would use to judge the manufacturers. And Mikrotik would get one of the top ranks on these parameters. The article does not bring out these details.

Peplink works like magic - failing over very gracefully. The same can be achieved on Linux through network interface bonding, or on pfSense through Link Aggregation. You would need an intermediate server on the internet that supports the same. VPS servers are cheap and suitable for this purpose.

However, all this will not help reduce latency - which is what the original question is about.

For that, we need the solution proposed else where on this thread:
1. Client duplicates packets over two mobile links to an intermediate, user-controlled server.
2. This server sorts things out and discards the losing packet, and forwards the winner on to the real gaming server.

and bury it in the moon...

Robots are more about software than hardware. Though having smart hardware looks and feels good. Intel's success would be dependent on doing a good job on the software and making is user friendly.
