It's just an incomprehensible madhouse of spaghetti at this point.
This madhouse was always going to be the endpoint when people started distributing "containers" instead of just building the app properly. However, it's clear that containers have become the only option for script based languages because they are already a security nightmare.
Trump doesn't need to stop it, the wind stops all by itself.
What do you think the batteries are for?!
Rationing doesn't fit in the framework of capitalism. The capitalist solution is to just keep raising the price.
even EV junkies will realize the “solution” still has obvious downsides.
Perfect is the enemy of good. If you want to live in a frozen tundra then you will have the pleasure of paying for the privilege.
The ever-present (false) claim that "EVs are too expensive" just died in the attack on Iran. With fuel costs headed nowhere but up and no end to the war in sight, even fools recognize that EVs are the smarter option.
The answer is "no" because literally nothing fits your bullshit requirements list because if you really have been working on embedded systems then you already know this to be true. You're basically doing a "cheap, easy, and fast" selection and telling people you need all three.
If you want embedded, you get embedded.
If you want to run a big OS, you get one that will run a big OS.
If you want to pretend these are all the same thing then you can fuck off.
Yes... but that will also be CSAM.
Sure but all the major brands are conformant and that's the bulk of devices. Perfect is the enemy of good.
Not really, just make it a certification process like we do for radio and electrical stuff.
How sure are we that it's accurate? Has the data been validated? If they are stressing the hardware then couldn't a bit get flipped at some point and throw off the whole things?
While plausible, consumer devices are generally a race to the bottom so it's unlikely to become the norm. A far more effective tool would be simple regulatory requirements for new updatable devices with embedded firmware that lack an isolated management interface. Maybe throw in a shadow stack requirement to thwart ROP. It would certainly shake up the MCU market because XIP isn't universally supported and shadow stacks are unheard of.
I wonder what the feasibility would be of making volatile memory non-executable.
I see no reason that it couldn't be but stack memory could still be hijacked. ROP would still be an option.
the cost of routers being a little higher for temporary-user-updating-enabling (switches) seems like it's worth it overall.
It 100% is worth it for the consumer but vendors don't see any benefit because it costs more and consumers are dummies that don't understand the value.
The problem is that this only makes an unthinking statistical word selection machine seem more credible. Considering how many people already think AI like this are actually thinking (intelligent), I see this as being a step in the wrong direction.
This should be a lesson to everyone that using petroleum-based energy makes you subject to the whims of foreign dictators If you are relying on an external source for fuel (or it's refinement) then you are dependent on everything between you and that external source.
Actual energy independence means you aren't subject to interruptions by a physical supply chain. If you are using a fuel then you never truly have energy independence.
Note: Idiots who want to tell me that sunlight can blocked, the wind can be stopped, or the Earth can be cooled are either talking about science fiction or literal mass extinction events which isn't relevant to this topic since a supply chain disruption (mass panic) is nearly guaranteed in those situations.
