I assume the hardware used by ATC are all certified to certain configurations due to the sensitivity. Will they allow them to add a random off the shelf ISA/PCI to USB or other cards / adapters? Or even allow to change to a different brand / model motherboard?

If a driver crashes the system during use, lives may be lost .......

He also wanted sub 10 micron tolerances for a vehicle which was so big and not supposed to be too expensive.

Many other links available.

Thats an insane demand for a vehicle. Do even the other super / hyper / luxury cars which are in the million dollar ranges try to hit that sort of tolerances? Just sunlight touching part of the vehicle will be enough to make it go out of tolerances easily, unless they are using some exotic materials.

I dont know if the designers / owners of VW those days (after the war) were making comments and doing things which makes it obvious that there were Nazis / ex-Nazis, or just kept quiet and keep on working(designing and building the car) so as to not draw direct attention on them and their history.

I have my doubts if a PC with a floppy controller will have a USB port. Not to mention the OS has to have the capabilities to access devices / drives on the USB ports. Do they use USB mouse / keyboards on such systems? If yes, maybe they have the capability.

Not saying it may not be available, but may be uncommon.

You will expect someone who works with plague bacteria / by products to be aware that it can be cured with fast medical assistance. Yet she was exposed on 25th Sept and waited(?) till the 29th Sept to go to a hospital??

I will also assume labs working with plague will have the relevant meds / antibiotics on hand to immediately take action if there is a exposure event.

Telcos and shareholders of Telcos may not like it if a substantial part of the population can't afford a decent phone with net connectivity.

Same for ISPs, if a substantial part of the population can't afford decent internet connected / IoT / laptops / PCs / gaming consoles / smart TVs, etc.

Never heard of this distro either.

I just looked it up on distrowatch.

It's ranked around 20, depending if you check within the last week, last 6 months or last 12 months. Wonder which is the top distro used by 1P's userbase as well the number 3.

And the % for the top 3, to get an idea of whats the difference like. And does 1P sponsor the top distro which uses their software?

China is probably very happy with this development.

Good way to kneecap all your industries in one go. Pretty much every new modern microwave to your TV to your automobile have at least 1 or more chips in them.

Only things which may not have a chip are things which dont use power. Maybe your bed (assuming not one of the "smart beds"), chair, baseball bat, etc.
