Ted Nelson used to refer to it as "the tyranny of the file". But he didn't really offer an alternative (other than Xanadu). And a hierarchical system of storage is convenient for lots of people - once they understand what &qu

Amazon patents lots of impractical things. Don't read too much into them.

But this is about hacking / being hacked. You would be sure to see a denial in that case.

I don't hear skepticism on plausibility. I just hear skepticism based on lack of actual evidence, as there has been, to date, exactly zero. For a hardware back that could only have been done at a large scale.

Agree. Picture or it didn’t happen. Why are we even debating this crap without a single shred of physical evidence?

Reminds me a lot of the introduction of the Iridium phone. "Worldwide coverage! No more dead zones! This will change communications globally!" Then they saw the phone. And its antenna. And learned it only worked outdoors. And cost

Then there will be? As someone apparently/allegedly blabbed to Bloomberg? I say again to Bloomberg: picture (x-Ray) or it didn't happen.

Picture or it didn't happen. What is up with Bloomberg?
519.
by creeble 8y ago
Once again, this is easy for Bloomberg to prove: X-Ray or it didn't happen. Fake news. Surely the factory produced more than a few of these mobos. All the world needs is an X-Ray of one board with the magical chip.

I just joined ARRL 10 minutes ago. New ham, or more accurately, lapsed for 44 years and ham again since July. I fear I may be too late for a vote at this time, but can't find where I would cast it on arrl.net in any case. Any advice?

We could do all of those things if anyone were to come forward with actual, physical evidence (i.e., a board). But so far no one has.

Or even why two SPI roms? Why not just one with special code? It's not like anyone is routinely reverse engineering the BMC boot code. It seems like an awful lot of provable trouble to go through (note that there is no physical evidenc

I disagree. Bloomberg knew what kind of financial effect the story would have on at least Supermicro, and if they can't back up the story with actual, provable facts, then they are culpab!e. They know this. So let's have some fact

by creeble 8y ago
I think it's time Bloomberg either puts up or shuts up. It's that simple. Either they can show an xray of a motherboard showing the chip, and can further explain how it exfiltrates data, or their story is rumour and bullshit, and

I buy my routers from flashrouters.com. A little overpriced, but I trust them and their testing. I have the Asus N16rt (I think) running shibby tomato and it's great. Despite this, I run pi-hole on an RPi that I have done so much as a

We did that once: https://www.mercurynews.com/2016/10/30/the-year-daylight-sav... I'm surprised it's unmentioned here. My recollection was that a kid got hit by a bus in the morning, and that ended

I think this is roughly the chip in CHIP, from Nextthing Co; I've got a few floating around my desk. I think the Pi Zero killed their party, haven't looked them up in a while. But I have a CHIP at a location running autossh for a

This is my experience as well. I very rarely find sites that don't work because of pi-hole, other than their advertising links. I can't actually think of a case where I've had to disable pi-hole because a site seemed to have

True that they don't need it to work. But imagine the efficiency and safety rewards if they do have it. You could do efficient ingress and egress routing if adjacent cars had the means to communicate their destinations, rather than u

by creeble 8y ago
Cars don't need a fixed hub to communicate, they can talk vehicle-to-vehicle because they are mostly subject to local effects. See "v2v" research on this topic.

Okay, I see. Just use his hosts file to extend Pi-hole. Not so hard.

Thanks for that link! I haven't added a custom block list to my Pi-hole before, this looks more complicated than I would have hoped.

Simplest explanation I can think of: Static binaries have no dependencies. They should just run and not bark about missing (shared/dynamic) libraries, nor require you to install them. Of course, even static binaries rely on some basic

>"Who do I call if I forget/lose/destroy my passphrase?" Highly OT, but the same concern exists for ordinary people with cryptocoins.
