Have you been to Northern Canada? Or any part of Canada that is not with in 100 miles of the US border?
I don't think Urbanization is the problem here.

then a new station wagon I could upgrade from all those damn tapes.

And uninstall your web browser, Since almost every web page contains javascript that gets downloaded and run as "local code". Spectre can work via javascript.

SnapDragon CPUs are affected by spectre as well. Quallcomm just recently verified this.

Don't really know if a list is practical. As you Say there are a lot of ARM based CPUs.

However most CPUs if you google the model number you can find a product page that will tell you which cores are in it. Compare the cores to ARMs list here https://developer.arm.com/support/security-update

So your example of the Texas Instruments DM3725 http://www.ti.com/product/DM3725 contains an Arm A-8 core which is affected by variant 1 and 2 of spectre.

Care to point out where in Arms white paper it mentions the a7 or a53 cores being affected by Spectre?

Unfortunately there are some things that won't change about it. Mainly the number of people that can't manage to understand what is going on.

Speaking of which, I have to go buy a few bottles of hard liquor before my mom hears about this on the news and phones me to ask about the bond villains (SPECTRE) that are trying to meltdown the worlds computers.

I love the fact that that setting is just slightly above the warn you about unwanted software option.

I don't think he means vanished into a prison or shallow grave. It's more likely a vanished in the way scientists connected to German weapons programs vanished from Germany at the end of ww2.

aka you don't have a choice you are coming to work for us.

.local is big a pain in the ass, that Is not recommended to use in most cases.

Rename company something like the IoT Blockchain On Demand Deep Learning Virtual Assistant Augmented Reality Cloud Quantum Computing Company.

Why abduct a guy and force him to do IT work. It's not like there is a lack of skilled people, that can't be bothered with moral/legal questions about who their employer is or what they are doing. If there was banks, mpaa/riaa, phone/cable companies, etc... would all having to abduct IT staff too.

Nobody except maybe the poor person who's job it is to keep some vital to the organizations 1970s vintage COBOL software running. I have seen enough 30+ year old code still in mision critical use to have any doubt that somebody will still be trying to use it for something important in another 30-40 years from now.

So, I wasn't the only one that saw that. Been up way to long wasn't sure if that part was real or if it was the lack of sleep starting getting to me.

I don't think you would have a problem, since 25km is only about 15.53 miles.

Either way a lot of large metro areas already have limits on flying a drone in urban areas, either from federal or municiple laws. Unfortunatly because of stupid people and the fact that a lot of drone manufatures are from china, selling into a western market. You are going to get a lot of prememptive restrictions since the manufactures don't want to loose access to the market.

Over all I would rather take my drone for a trip to the country side to use it, then have them pass a law saying I can't have one.

Not to mention companies have been trying for decades to control how their products get used, with little success, hence the number of new laws to try and protect their failed schemes. i doubt anybody that wanted to couldnt make the drone do what ever they wanted despite the manufactures best efforts.

Its that collection of things around your house such as your furnace, your fridge, the lock on your door, and your coffee maker, etc... that will stop working because your kid/spouse/parent clicked on a link that claimed to have naked pictures of whoever the current hot celebrity is.
