Comment CISA gave an updated statement (Score 2) 63

CISA has told The Register the train issue may not as bad as it sounds, and confirmed work is underway to get a replacement system deployed.

"[This] vulnerability has been understood and monitored by rail sector stakeholders for over a decade, CISA acting executive assistant director for cybersecurity Chris Butera told us in an email. "To exploit this issue, a threat actor would require physical access to rail lines, deep protocol knowledge, and specialized equipment, which limits the feasibility of widespread exploitation."

That last sentence: You mean like the guy who found this? In 2012? With outdated SDR equipment?

Comment What do you expect? (Score 1, Insightful) 283

They're being groomed by mouth breathing nitwits like Andrew Taint, Joe Rogan, 4/8chan, and Jordan Peterson. Emotions are for p*ssies, it's not r*pe if you paid for her meal, and "why is that woman talking?" is the curriculum they're being fed. They're not falling behind; they're experiencing evolutionary regression.

Comment Starship is a dud (Score 3, Insightful) 71

It will never work the way SpaceX and MuSSk think it will. Its payload capacity is too low. I will never be certified for human flight because the life support requirements are too heavy, and its safety factor is too high for a safe reentry with a craft that large and fragile. It will need fuel to go to the Moon or Mars (which we will never succeed at because colonizing Mars is a nearly impossible joke). To get enough fuel to space for a single expedition would require over 30 Starship sorties just to lift it all. The math just don't math for Starship. And SpaceX can't sustain as a business with the diminishing market needs for space delivery systems. But OK.
