Will be a sleeper build, I already have a case from 2015 at the ready. And of course, no RGB

Depending on rarity, importance, and jurisdiction, at some point, it becomes a crime.
Certain manuscripts, incunables, only editions, codexes and such. Also, artifacts of historical relevance (for example Thomas Jefferon's Qur'an)...

Again, depends on Rairty, importance and Juristidiction.

And ONLY for this vuln.

This patch came just nine days after apple published a record breaking patch set of more than a hundred security patches (depending of OS version).

Apple took the PR egg on face, and the extra load on the update servers, to emit a patch for just that security vuln, instead of just waiting for the next regular patch (expected right after MscOS 27 is emitted, on Oct~Nov this year)

I did update. I did recommended people to update.

If people is too sttuborn to update, what can you do?

On AUg 7, nine (9) days right after emitting a security update with more than 100 security patches (depending on OS version), Apple emited a lonely patch just for this vulnerability.

They took the PR hit, and the extra load on the update servers, instead of waiting until the next patch cycle (expected when MacOS 27 lands in Sept or Oct).

If people do not apply security patches 5 days after they are emited, that's another thing entirely.

I do not think Cloudflare is running nmap on organizations worldwide. or on every clients that connects trough it.

That's Internet usage of machines identifying themseleves as Linux. That's all Cloudfare (and StarCounter, and NetMarketShare) can measure.

A bunch of AI agents in a Linux server (either on-prem or at the cloud) carrying out some work for someone in a company incentivized to run AI, will do tens, perhaps hundreds of calls to the web (say for research), even though the original request came from a Windows desktop where that person was running word, outlook and adobe, and reading /. on chrome.

I have no beef with Linux, if anything, I am gratefull to it, I installed my first one in '96* @ Uni, and Linux made a huge positive impact in my professional career ever since (Sysadmin and OpenStack Trainer).
I am not pro Windows, I run MacOS day to day since '09, I bootcamp to Windows for games only. I am not against Windows either.

But deluding ourselves with misleading headlines like the one ZDnet concoted will not bring "the year of the linux desktop" any closer...

JM2C YMMV

* Learned Unix in '93 via Slowlaris, and first installed OpenBSD in '95

A fixed camera setup is deterministic, may have blind spots, and the cameras can be attacked without recourse (spray paint over lens, for example). but they are cheap to replace

Robot camera is non-deterministic, by definition does not have blind spots (as it is non-deterministic), by their very nature they can cry for help, and can do other things to (like cleaning) if you so desire. And while they are harder to repair or replce, is still easier and cheaper than a maimed or killed human (which we must avoid at all times, not only because maimed or killed humans are expensive, but because it is the right thing to do).

The best systems combine the three (fixed cameras, roaming robot cameras, and humans) into a cohesive system.

A few options:
1.) An ArtX type situation. In 2000 ATi Technologies Acquired a much smaller company called ArtX. When the dust settled and the ink dried, most of the C suite, and many of the relevant managers of the merged antity came from ArtX, not from ATi. Meaning that the company would be steered in a new direction by the management of the smaller company. If, after the merger here, you see an inordinate ammount of EventRisk people in management positions in the newly merged company, you know what happened.

2.) A /. type situation. Some company makes big "share bucks" with some questionable technology, uses newfound "share wealth" to buy something else, and re-invents itself, conserving little to nothing of their former self. If you see KnightScope mutating into a "wetawre security" company first and foeremost, with the robots and digital stuff as a small apendix, you know this is what happened.

On a positive note:

Aside from Micron, Samsung and SKHynix, that are able to porduce DDR 4&5, LPDDR 4&5, HBM and GDDR, there are Nanya (Japan ~3%) market share, and CXMT (China ~5% Market share).
Those companies only produce DDR 4&5 and LPDDR 4&5 (but CXMT in gearing up for HBM)

Further downmarket is Winbond (Taiwan), which produces LPDDR and DDR 3 & 4.

YMTC is gearing up to produce LPDDR5

But on a not so positive note, please notice that DDR5 can be used for "normal" servers (in the form of Regustered-FullyBuffered-ECC-RAM Sticks), while LPDDR5 can be used for servers and AI accelerators mainly in the form of SOCAMM2

If you go into your phone settings and toggle the "5G only" switch, T-Mobile has the best network coverage in the USoA.

Granted, no sane person would use their phone like that. The correct usage is 4G + 5G. But it points at a fundamental truth: Each networks comes with their own set of strengts and weaknesses

And here, you just answered yourself. If they have good (or the best) coverage in the areas where you dwell for a significant ammount of time (Home, Office, nearby shops, Gym, etc) , then it makes sense to use them, no matter what the national/State average is. You care about your use-case, not some nationwide average.

In my country, is similar for me, my carrier used to have CRAP coverage nationwide, but they arrived with 4G to my parents house (another state, 120Km from me, I live on the nation's capital, so new tech arrives here first) in 2013. The closest competitor? 2018. Doesn't it make sense to go to the weaker carrier nationwide because I serves my use case better?

Besides, there are plenty of phones with multi-(e)SIM support. That same competitor that arrived with 4G in 2018? When electricity fails (a normal occurrence in all our country except the capital), the only carrier that keeps on ticking is that carrier, so, I have their SIM as well.

So, to reiterate:
Each carrier has strenghts and weaknesses
The Nationwide or state-wide averages are almost always non relevant to you.
Choose based on your own use case in he locations that are relvant to you.

Same with Dell with CAMM and nVIDIA+Micron with SOCAMM (similar name, similar idea, completely different use cases). Both of those presented the original stadard as a PoC, and then handed it over to JEDEC, so they became CAMM2 and SOCAMM2, completely neutral industry wide standards.

I suspect the same will happen here, a few demo/lab/PoC products will be produced, and then this will be handed over to JEDEC, so that it becomes an industry wide standard.

What do they (SKHynix, Sandisk and before them Dell, Micron and nVIDIA) win by doing this? IF (and only if) there are patents involved, they win FRAND revenue (just as an aside, neither CAMM2 nor SOCAMM2 have patents involved). And wether there are patents involved or not, these companies have a leg up on the competition in terms of know-how and practice making the stuff.

Even iFixIt gave the Neo good grades. And iFixIt tends to be very stingy about that.

This is only the kernel. Meanwhile, in the cases of windows and macos, the vuln count is against the whole OS.

The correct comparison in that case would be against specific distros, not against the kernel.

I will not go into amymojo' motives. For me, I do not need to justify windows, or linux, or macos any more than I need to justify a flathead screwdriver, a torx one, or a pentalobe one.

Each one has their uses, advantages and disadvantages.

PS: Fun fact! Before Pentalobes gained world fame by being adopted by apple, they were used in titanium screws, being used specifically for neck surgery.
