Comment Holiday Season (Score 1) 11

"Attackers are scaling with the internet itself. As fiber-to-the-home speeds rise and IoT devices get more powerful, the baseline for attack size keeps climbing," concludes the post. "As we approach the upcoming holiday season, it is essential to confirm that all internet-facing applications and workloads are adequately protected against DDOS attacks."

What does the holiday season have to do with anything? Are more DDOS operators at home for the holidays with excess time, hacking from mommie's basement?

Also to be even more authentic to the film experience, the images on the SD card could be encrypted with a key only the professional SD card developers can unlock. The encryption would extend all the way to the professional printer. You'd have no choice but to go in and get your gold-plated SD card developed and printed. You wont't get your SD card back, but another SD card containing the decrypted images, but for some reason with all of the bits reversed. A loophole could be added such that if you take apart the SD card in a closed room with only red light, the images can be printed, but only by authorized printers that use special ink that requires hanging up the photo to dry.

The reason people like film is not just the way it looks (which you've been able to fake ever since the "Hipstamatic" app came out decades ago) but precisely because it costs a lot to shoot and you don't know what you have until you develop the film. It puts much more a premium on competence and selectivity in shooting. It's the same reason that a photorealistic painting is much more impressive than a photograph.

That could be simulated too: remove or disable the preview screen and install a tiny, slow, but really expensive gold-plated SD card.
