Submission + - Small Hidden Chip Could Let Someone Manipulate Boeing 737â(TM)s Flight Comp (studyfinds.com)

alternative_right writes: Researchers built a tiny device that fits inside an existing maintenance port in the belly of a Boeing 737 and demonstrated, on a genuine Boeing 737 test setup, that it could alter the flight management computerâ(TM)s route and performance data, the inputs that tell the autopilot where to fly, while hiding those changes from pilots in that test environment.

NOPE. The 2nd Law of thermodynamics demands neg-entropy be supplied ... by workers like you, Bosco ... for any culture evolving "above" the Yamnaya. And that soreness in your bones ... & that pain beneath your brow ... it's simple:  dS > 0 .

This is a love tap, fists will be thrown later. One thing can and should be done, we need to start adding aerosols into the atmosphere, the higher the better. Adding Na compounds to jet fuels would introduce just enough aerosols in order to start reflecting a tiny amount more of solar radiation than what makes it to the surface of the planet. 1-2% reflection is all we need to start reducing the temperatures. Of-course we will have to keep doing it until we figure out a more permanent solution.

"It's all the worst parts of programming and none of the stuff that we actually like." So true  in ways that business hates.  When I started (scientific) programming writing code felt like poetry. By the time I had pointers splashed throughout  I felt like Keats; C became more fun than Bessel functions.

Submission + - Doomscrolling at work wastes time, but the real cost is what happens after (phys.org)

alternative_right writes: While doomscrolling is often dismissed as a productivity issue, the researchers found the consequences extend beyond the time spent looking at a screen.

"What we find is that workers who doomscroll on the clock are less engaged, in part because their mind is preoccupied, sort of replaying the images and messages that they encountered during their doomscrolling sessions," Hughes said.

The relationship was especially strong among people with higher levels of neuroticism, a personality trait associated with anxiety and worry.

Sounds a lot like patenting "picture-taking" with a high quality German camera, where all sorts of data is preserved parallel to the image. I think this ' *.* with a computer " patent will be contested ...  Zuk humiliated ... and  patent removed.

Google is now adding more rules to make sideloading more difficult while Apple never provided a way to sideload an app in the first place. People need to be able to build and load their own apps without permission from the OS manufacturer, a phone is a computer with specialized hardware, we do have ability to build and run apps on our own hardware.
