You know where this is going?
iPads. Kept in a Faraday cage and provisioned with apps over a cable from a neutered host (read-only drive, maybe? Anyway: locked down and firewalled to prevent unapproved software updates).
Alternatively: the market for refurbed LSI-11s is booming.
- cpach 10y agoI don’t get it… What is it about LSI-11 is that makes it useful in this context?
- cstross 10y ago... It pre-dates TCP/IP (not to mention most of the bells and whistles malware can get its hooks into, not to mention not generally having any audio i/o at all, or a bunch of other surplus doodads people expect these days that expand the threat surface of the machine).
- cpach 10y agoAh, I see :)
