While I don't disagree, it is beyond their control. At the time they released this, the maximum lifetime for a TLS certificate is 398 days.

It is an ongoing problem with no quick solution that is going to get worse, as the standard is changing the maximum time to be only 47 days. This means that not only will your software have to be able to refresh its trusted cert once a month, it will have to be able to phone home at least once a month in order to do that... a device disconnected for two months in a row will need manual intervention.

Submission + - Microsoft Surface firmware left embedded controller unprotected (theregister.com)

Dotnaught writes: For the past 90 days, Microsoft has been quietly patching a firmware flaw in Surface devices that allowed the hardware to be bricked with a single packet, though only for those who have disabled Secure Core and Secure Boot.

And the company's Copilot AI software inadvertently helped identify the faulty firmware. Asked by a security researcher to adjust the backlighting on a Surface laptop, the AI sprayed the embedded controller with data and bricked his device.

I guarantee this is the big difference between what Bernie's bill says versus what the administration is proposing. In one case, you have a bill saying that the people receive ownership without having to incur the risk of an investment. The other proposal is very likely that the government it has to invest at the same valuation that all these VCs did.

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.

Blue Origin Rocket Exploded Thursday Night During Hot-Fire Test (cbsnews.com) 73

Spaceflight Now shared their video of the explosion, which the Orlando Sentinel describes as showing Blue Origin's rocket "become engulfed in flames. The fireball expands out and covers the entire launch pad as the fuselage of the rocket can be seen crumbling into the flames."

Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos said on X.com "It's too early to know the root cause but we're already working to find it. Very rough day, but we'll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It's worth it." (SpaceX founder Elon Musk posted "Sorry to see this, I hope you recover quickly.")

It's unclear how this will impact future launches. "The rocket was destroyed," reports CBS News, "and as the smoke cleared, there was no sign of the erector-gantry used to move the New Glenn from its hangar to the pad and to raise it from horizontal to vertical. Likewise, one of two tall lightning towers was no longer visible." It was the first such on-pad explosion at the Cape since a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket blew up on nearby pad 40 on Sept. 1, 2016... Blue Origin only has one New Glenn pad, the one that was damaged in the Thursday test. The New Glenn, which has launched three times, is a heavy lift rocket designed to compete head-to-head with SpaceX Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets. During New Glenn's most recent flight in April, an upper stage malfunction prevented a commercial internet satellite from reaching its planned orbit...

The New Glenn destroyed Thursday was to send 48 Leo internet satellites owned by Amazon into space [which were not on board for the hot-fire test]

Blue Origin posted on X.com that "Debris from our recent hotfire anomaly may wash ashore in the coming days/weeks. If you encounter any debris, do not touch or approach it for your safety."

"Spaceflight is unforgiving, and developing new heavy-lift launch capability is extraordinarily difficult..." NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman posted on X.com. "âWe will provide information on any impacts to the Artemis and Moon Base programs as it becomes available."

I literally did not even know about this movie until last week. It has hard very little media coverage, no one talking about it on any major social media platform (which means that they have not been paying people to talk about it)

If Disney expected a big opening for this - they should fire their PR team.

I agree 10000% with what you are saying

But again, my company is not a charity

I can't afford to hire junior developers and train them for funsies. That's what you are suggesting.

What does that mean 5-10 years down the road? We are all fucked. But again, I can't solve that for society. That is SUPPOSED to be the job of government, but they are all sitting on their hands eve though the industry has been screaming at them for 3 years now to start plannibg and do something
