The good old says were when there were about 60 million people on the internet and it was new and unknown.
I think it wasn't social media that changed it for the worse, at least not perse, it was the internet-connected phone.
Yes, it is definitely ICMP.
It does indeed. See the GitHub link.
During network boot, the PXE Base Code driver (NetworkPkg/UefiPxeBcDxe) keeps a receive request open for ICMP error messages and copies each received message into the fixed 504-byte field...
My apologies for the pedantic reply, but I'm just getting exhausted by the seemingly endless need people have to inject urgency into headlines. "On Planet Earth" is not necessary. At all. You can drop those words and the sentence means exactly the same thing.
What would be useful in the summary is some information on how the attack might happen.
For the record, during the window of a PXE-boot, a malicious unicast ICMP error message can be picked up by the driver and cause a buffer overrun. The window is closed when boot is complete.
FYI, this included some items I was grammatically templating that used triangle brackets because I forgot slashdot doesn't sanitize inputs, but permits raw html.
"How do I know that (insert processor) won't have (insert condition) in the future?" You don't.
There's nothing at the end of that line of reasoning. You can quite easily apply this to any processor ever in existence, past or future. "How do I know that won't have in the future?" You don't. And even if you knew on day one that an undocumented register existed in a chip, it tells you exactly nothing about future exploitability, and advises you not at all on whether or not to purchase it. I'm sure there are lots of undocumented "features" on chips from the past.
It's under control. I've been retired for two and a half years and my portfolio is flat, even after drawing my salary from it the whole time. Cautious blend.
But yeah. When I transferred my pension out it was a calculated risk. If I had left it another year it would be locked in permanently, and the future is so uncertain that I was unwilling to leave it there.
Your point being...?
My wealth consists of very little in the way of cash equivalents. It's in a diversified collection of products including stocks, bonds, etc.. While I think I'm decently hedged there is a distinct possibility that there exists risk in the secondary layers, the nature of which I am unaware.
I'm 56. I would like to know where I stand. Let's see the massive correction.
Unlike many others, though, my wealth has no components fully in the hands of funds. No pension fund, for instance. I pulled that all out at commuted value. So mine won't suddenly evaporate from under me. Those in that situation may be less eager for the rightsizing.
Can anybody explain to me the use case for YouTube shorts, or any other looping material?
I have never - not once - seen any piece of media that benefited at all from automatically repeating. Add to that the lack of seekability and the automatic restarting of material when you navigate away from it, and you couldn't make a more useless, brain dead method of media delivery if you assembled a focus group to drill down on the problem.
And I can't just turn it off globally, even though I subscribe to premium. It's a fucking travesty of bad thought.
I think the differentiator is whether a project is vibe coded or mostly generated by AI, or whether AI was used as a facilitator by the project team.
You cannot know whether the code you are attempting to use is incompatible with open source licensing models unless you are deep in it. And it's not somebody else's job to figure that out.
Nobody thinks Linux is AI generated. That's the sort of nuclear statement somebody leaps to when bolstering a bad argument. If's a logical fallacy.
The terms of offers like this are usually sweeter than an exit package. And with there being an involuntary exit waiting in the wings for some folks, it becomes a gamble to remain.
A couple things to note. First, there's probably a bit of wiggle room in the offer. Not a lot, but a little. But while you could lawyer up with a layoff package, you can't with a voluntary one. But if you asked them to sweeten it 5% you may find a yes.
Second, a voluntary exit is easier to finesse in your history.
I took a voluntary exit back in 2019, after almost 20 years. Just under half a million. Haven't regretted it for an instant. Folks who stayed got packages at 70% the rate when the axe fell.
If that sounds like a lot, it's because the calculation was based on total compensation including estimated bonuses and such. If it sounds like too little I don't know what to tell you. I'm happy.
Most of the places I traveled this summer have not seen much charging station penetration. Consulting a map of stations just now reveals gaps of hundreds of kilometers through mountainous terrain. In fact there are routes I couldn't do because the gap between simple petrol stations was larger than my bike's range...
Wow. I did not know individuals could buy carbon credits. And... it's cheap. I just used an emissions calculator, and computed my penance to be about $250 per year. I would have expected it to be pricier, all things considered. Especially with a big air-conditioned home in a cold climate, and just me living in it.
Well hot damn. I can throw money at the problem and assuage my conscience. Feels like someone is selling indulgences... but hey.
5 L/100km. So not the worst, but not good. And all of it unnecessary.
