Shame on Euro  supermarkets for centralizing temperature settings. It's well known that no networked computing is secure. For $100  HW each store could set/monitor/manage freezer/chiller temps and water-spray times. But, no ... they saved a nickle ... only to lose a $20 bill . That's a stupid as having software that runs your business operate from a central ... oh wait ...

"There is no 'only' defense. Indeed, programming skill and attention to detail will, by itself, fail."

Am I wrong, or is "networking" at the heart of 99.9% of computer security issues ? That "only" defense is certainly promoted by "air-gaping" and local-admin  of all computer function:  one factory one computer ... two factories two computers etcetc. More people and more expense; major AI &  SaaS companies screwed? Of-course ... so what ...

"To claim you have already lost when using those measures is to claim that only code with years of tireless review like NASA's near flawless software is good enough."

I bet the answer to this question is:  < yes >. Reminds me of Tornado-ravaged Oklahoma neighborhoods with "stick built" houses:  wooden sticks ravaged every year , savvy ! Every new Oklahoma home  SHOULD  be 'Buckminster' concrete ... every (re)new software package should be NASA-quality.

Lots of buzzwords, but do any of those "tasks" need to be performed. I somehow manage my own home Debian systems W/O using any of those buzzword-tasks. I do avoid make-work automation,  as such increases the "fault surface". Even granting "needs", are any needed tasks performed better using the JapeChat mechanism ?

APPLE does not sell luxury products... like Sable capes, Vicuna overcoats or  Italian  Chamis heels. Apple charges luxury prices for Mil-Spec computer hardware ... same grade hardware everyone else sells.

Comment over-valued (Score 1) 98

A trillion here a trillion there ... pretty soon it amounts to real money; as Sen Dirkson would agree  a long overdue correction.  American  tek.service  stocks have been highly over-valued since the JapeChat / AI obscurity went public. They have another 25% loss to absorb before price and long-term profit come into balance. Or possibly much worse, if AI.tek becomes habitual among guild/craft/small-manufacturing concerns. Imagine ... every  lathe/ion-beam/router/CNC/3-D printer owner being able to manufacture **anything** at scale.
