They aren't doing that.

The certificate is expiring. When it expires, it will no longer be able to talk to the server to validate the license.

In order to fix it, they need to issue a new certificate, which requires updating the software - which they no longer update.

The problem is rooted in the time-boxing of encryption certificates.

Exactly.

You expect me to believe the thing that provided some income disparity relief for a large percentage of remote workers (same pay, lower costs from relocating) is at fault for others not having jobs? I've worked (remotely) with young people. They seem eager and capable, far more so than most other age demographics.

This is just companies finding excuses, looking to claw back more control.

It sounds like you don't understand how the court system works. The SCOTUS only hears cases which are brought before it, and then selectively.

Which cases specifically do you feel indicate corruption on the part of the SCOTUS? There are definitely some dissenting decisions which don't adhere to the US constitution, and there is definitely a long running theme in the courts of activist judges re-interpreting well defined language, and perhaps (probably) even a couple judges who are compromised, but I'm not aware of any evidence of corruption.

> You can capture the packets, and determine what the device is, which would quickly resolve the concern. The real issue, as I see it, why didn't they do that before overreacting?

You think every plane is equipped with a BT sniffer? You think that even if a BT speaker were identified as the source, it couldn't have a bomb inside?

They didn't "overreact." Long before they turned around, multiple announcements were made to turn off all BT devices. The reprobate didn't obey instructions from the flight crew.

Making games isn't actually that easy? I've been doing it for 25 years, and making a game that's good that people enjoy requires, in no small part, that you yourself enjoy playing games, and that you understand what fun is.

That's a good insight - we're essentially talking about art. There's no real indication that AI can do the actually creative part. But I wonder if a union can either? Art is about allowing inspiration to hit somebody like lightning and allow it to rise to the top. Unions are about making rules for everything to enforce fairness, and I wonder if that will be the most creative environment. Of course top-down corporations struggle with it too especially as they get bigger.

Not much. Plutonium isn't like uranium, it's effectively safe for human contact outside its fissioned form. This has been pretty well documented.

This is a step forward which is a long time overdue. It should've happened 30 years ago, and we'd have averted having to depend on China for our electricity production (wind + solar) without the net-zero production problems those two 'sources' introduce.

It's a concept called defense in depth, and perhaps also defensive programming. It's good practice. You do not want to hold things off at the gate exclusively, because that relies entirely on your gate defense. This shouldn't be a difficult concept to understand.

Yes, it's potentially more difficult to exploit, but if it's known, a clever exploit can still be fashioned to expose it. This is being seen increasingly with AI driven exploits. You don't need a kernel RCE to gain full system access - you need 3 or 4 small privilege escalation bugs (theoretical problems) in different packages that are commonly used.

You're viewing the waves for the ocean.
