I remember a time when slashdot linking to a site brought it down.
Today, slashdot is linking to a deleted reddit thread with a couple of users complaining that their favorite screen saver is getting pulled.
Truly how far the mighty have fallen.
There already exist drives that essentially plug into the floppy drive 34 pin connector, and translate that to USB on the other side. You can plug in a USB drive, and it will read as a floppy disk to the system.
In aviation world, this isn't a problem. Validating the system is the problem. You won't get it done because bureaucratic inertia in that world is utterly insane.
Video said win95. Disks are used to load weather and traffic data.
You mean 1,44MB?
The problem is that this sort of AI assisted penetration testing is still fairly new, and has only had meaningful teeth since last month.
And we had what infosec people already dubbed Black October from it. PHP vulnerabilities alone were a shitshow of truly epic proportions, with government, banking and even IT megacorps being impacted.
The problem seems to be the unique combination of speed and volume of vulnerabilities being discovered all at once, making it prohibitively difficult to patch, validate and distribute patches in time.
Hopefully it will ease off in the future.
Source is the people behind the model, and considering the total shit show that was Black October, they are almost certainly not fucking around.
I think you can still enter giveaway for it in US!
As topic suggests, I would argue that if he was targeted by only one PRC spy operation, then PRC's natsec apparatus should execute everyone involved in foreign espionage in field of AI, chip design and VIP related intelligence for gross negligence and dereliction of duty.
Seriously, this is #1 target for AI, in top 10 for chip design and in top 100 for VIP related stuff. These sorts of people get several different agencies assigned to spy on them, who run multiple concurrent operations.

One of the most useless superpowers I have is ability to predict the future when it comes to certain kinds of people.
It's literally only available in metallic silver, and there's probably very little overlap between noveau riche types and cyberpunk affectionados.
If anything, the two are polar opposites. One values rounded out shininess, other values edgy grittiness.
That is a very good question, through I would argue that this needs to be solved by requiring apps to accept other forms of ensuring device meets anti-tampering protection standards.
I.e. OS makers could certify it themselves, and have some kind of a liability about its implementation, but app makers would be forced to accept it (if they also accept google's).
Until this happens, GrapheneOS phones are just not viable anywhere outside "I carry two phones" crowd and "tinfoil hat to the max" crowd. Too much of people's daily interaction are now inside various payment, insurance, etc apps that require integrity checks.
I have multiple banking and insurance apps that have to follow stringent EU and Finnish national standards. GrapheneOS fails them, and banking apps will not work on them.
I also have a stock oneplus android device that is stuck on android 11. All banking and insurance apps work fine on it. I suspect its because whatever integrity verification is built into android, it runs on play services, not AOSP/whatever it is we call the actual OS stack in android nowadays.
I recently bought a Oneplus 15R. 500EUR, so just above mid end (Finnish taxes, mid end is 300-400). Current high end SOC (SD 8 gen 5), one of the most if not the biggest batteries on the market (7400 mAH nominal).
They save on other things. Significantly worse cameras, no wireless charging, USB communication standard is only 2.0, etc. I'm not into posting my life on interwebs, and I have a car with wired android auto only at the moment, so I don't really care about wireless charging right now, and I can do most data transfers wirelessly so I'm not too bummed out about slow USB-C port. It worked for me.
Probably won't work for many others.
This is from analogue era. You know, like flint spears and victorian dresses. Firmware meant firm fabric you wear back then.
This piqued my interest, so I went to take a look on amazon. There's an absolute shit ton of headphones like that.
