The MPA member movie studios would probably withdraw their respective streaming services from Vizio's platform on grounds that a user-modifiable free operating system fails to satisfy the "compliance and robustness" rules of whatever digital restrictions management protocol they use.

First, the user needs to know that "a cheap little computer" exists and can be connected to a TV. Walmart and Best Buy haven't been doing a good job of marketing these to the public. Second, the user needs the spare time to learn to administer yet another computer. Third, the user needs to be satisfied with some services limiting streams to 480p because a desktop computer running Linux and Firefox has a low "integrity level" in Widevine.

They're just building a training dataset...

The smart homeowners will add solar/battery to their properties. I'd bet, though, that we'll see a sudden surge of voters pressuring their legislatures to force power companies to give residential service priority over data centers.

Just because they have (so far) come up with nothing, does not mean to say that you can infer that it was a god what dunnit, and particularly the god of an obscure tribe from one planet in a galaxy which probably contains billions of planets, in a universe that contains billions of galaxies.

Not necessarily true, the current government is trying to align with the EU much more, to minimise the clusterfuck that is Brexit. They could couple with other countries in the EU (and Europe more widely) that are moving away from MS and other US technologies.

Now we just need to dump Palantir and Xitter as well...

The most concerning part should be that the utility isn't auditing it's service. The most basic check is to compare water pumped or otherwise brought into the system against water usage billed to customers. Those two numbers should be equal, any discrepancy indicates leaks or other unaccounted-for draws. Any discrepancy should also be relatively stable, with any large variations correlated to known main breaks. You especially audit things immediately after a major change like bringing smart meters on-line to catch problems like this.

It's also unlikely they'd mix the concrete on site - most comes from ready mix plants. But construction sites do use a lot of water.

One U.S. ISP that technically blocks inbound TCP over IPv6 is T-Mobile Home Internet (fixed wireless). The gateway appliance included with the plan offers no way to forward a port to the subscriber's computer. (Source) I've read that most major U.S. ISPs threaten to disconnect a home subscriber for running a publicly accessible server. (Source)

One large legacy network in the U.S. is Frontier fiber, which is still IPv4-only in 2026.

The sticky note under the keyboard or in a desk drawer is actually pretty secure. Most attacks are remote, they've no way to read that note. The social-engineering attacks don't target people who'd go to your desk either, they either target you directly (you already know your password) or support people who don't need to know your password to give them access.

I have to ask, are these platforms even trying to secure their systems anymore? Because I keep seeing of more and more of these breaches, involving more and more platforms, and the attacks are less and less sophisticated. I hear companies talk and talk about security, yet their day-to-day practices require their employees and contractors to violate practically every good security practice and treat the red flags of an attack as normal company practice instead.

Occam's Razor no longer applies, because at this level malice and incompetence are indistinguishable.

I know it's kind of off topic, but there's going to be some fun when whatever groupstole the trellix/McAfee/fireeye code gets done looking for holes (and you know they're there...). We're going to have a massive breach across millions of corporate desktops.

Add Proxmox and Talos to that list.

It'll help exactly as much as Unreal experience helps if you apply at a Godot shop.

In case your answer is "Well there aren't many Godot shops", then why is that?
