The market will decide. If nobody likes it then it will flop. If it takes off, then well done to them. Good to see some form of innovation. Maybe they will create a new category of device, as dozens of Chinese imitators come up with clone

It would have to be on a small isolated LAN, e.g. within a machine or section of a plant. Many buses used in industrial control equipment such as CAN bus and Modbus do not use encryption. I suppose there's more risk if you're usin

It keeps getting worse with each version, and they drag a big part of the open source community with them, because so many apps depend on GTK. Especially important ones like Firefox and Chromium. It absolutely sucks when Gnome controls such
