Yeah, this is a very common misconception. There are hardware encoders that might be distribution quality, but these are (to my knowledge) expensive ASICs that Netflix, Amazon, Google, etc. use to accelerate encode (not necessarily to realt

I have not "reinvented CGNAT". It is hierarchal public addressing similar to IPv4 and IPv6. The edge router has an IPv4+ subnet (either a classic v4 address, or part of a v4+ address). It maintains an L2 routing table with ARP+, a

> Fact is you'd run into exactly the same problems as with IPv6. If you treat IPv4 addresses as a routable prefix (same as today), then the internet core routers don't change at all. Only the edge equipment would need to be IPv

I was previously at Uber. I can imagine that the culture at some of these companies is toxic enough that people may openly discuss or even brag about some of these things. There is also a good chance that this person only has 2nd and 3rd ha

It's not just literacy, although that's nearly required to engage in the public discourse. It's really more like indoctrination. The voting populace has to have an implicit belief in public institutions, believe that attempti

Did you look into whether the spoofed device can also be "upgraded" to be used as an HID device, like a mouse or keyboard? That upgrade would be several CVEs against the OS vendors. That would make the attacks potentially silent,

I doubt that audio-spectrum RF/magnetic frequencies emanate strongly from wired headphones. They are simply not a long enough antenna at 200-3,000 Hz. Also, the loop area is quite low. The ground wire runs parallel to the L/R wire

IMO, it's plausible that Airoha and the OEMs did not know about this. The tooling may have been written in a pseudo-secure manner, i.e. requiring pairing (on the client side) before attempting all the debugging/firmware update com

If you have a Bluetooth analyzer (e.g. Ellisys), then the link key and a directional antenna is all you need to passively eavesdrop on a conversation at a distance. Of course, even regular omnidirectional Bluetooth antennas are plenty to ea

Russia would first have to be a "normal country". It would need an educated populace and a non-extractive (manufacturing or services) economy. It suffers from both a resource curse and Dutch disease. It is difficult to form a midd

I was imagining something more Kafkaesque. There are some transit systems that have transfer only stations. If DB dropped you off at such a station, and then cancelled the only trains leaving that station (due to weather, holidays), I'

According to [1], this problem has been known about since at least 2000. More than half of people will retrieve their luggage when evacuating. They were discussing a verbal announcement during the safety briefing. I get the feeling that we

Don't make this an emergency-only thing. It needs to be every flight during takeoff and landing. Otherwise people will be confused why they can't open the bin during evacuation and fight with the attendants, etc. A more comprehens

This does sound problematic, but if a police officer's report contradicts the body-worn camera or other evidence, it already undermines their credibility, whether they blame AI or not. My impression is that police don't usually fa

Live streaming is surprisingly a much different problem than pre-recorded streaming. It's no surprise that Netflix has had trouble with it in the past, though I'd expect them to have resolved their issues by now. I wrote a detaile

This rarely works. The TV network is usually access controlled, so you either won't get an IP or you simply won't have internet access. Some hotel rooms (particularly older business hotels) will have an ethernet port for the guest

Must by highly device dependent. I've never seen a laptop that had more than some thin sheet metal as reinforcement for the lock slot. Check the Youtube video in my comment above.

Just my opinion, but I feel Kensington locks have little value. Sure, maybe it will deface the stolen item when it gets ripped off, but for a thief, the device is still usable, and it can be sold for parts or at a discount. We are talking a

Seems like the wrong layer unless your network has more than one router/gateway. Use MAC as the key for firewall and monitoring. Then you don't have multiple rules per device.

https://github.com/AGWA/snid So you basically have a cloud server and a domain with a wildcard record, and you then forward IPv4 through IPv6? I think this somewhat proves my point that IPv6 doesn't solve much for

People keep saying that IPv6 allows you to more easily host services, but you still have to support IPv4. Try connecting to your IPv6-only service on Hotel WiFi -- you usually can't. It's unfortunate, but IPv6 doesn't really

Maybe it's time for some laws that require customer-returned goods to be sold as used merchandise unless the merchant waives the right to dispute the 2nd customer's return for full refund.
