generally no. the US has wide swathes of relatively undeveloped land, unlike Europe. Diesel electric is the norm for long haul. it wouldn’t be impossible to electrify, but outside of a few specific intra-city corridors, no one has spent the

trains. semi-trucks. international cargo ships. airplanes. semi-trucks might be viable electrically, none of the other options currently are.

only a tiny portion of per-individual energy needs are currently electric. roughly guess, 10% or less. diesel is widely used for things like shipping and other supply chain stuff, so expect knock-on price impacts.

Good luck finding them or proving it, esp. if done via third party contractors in another jurisdiction

Even if you get the credentials via middle man?

So weird, it’s like you refuse to read my comment and keep replying with the part of your comment which ISN’T that part, and then act like I’m the problem when I point out you aren’t making any sense. Are you real?

You’re saying ‘works behind a firewall’, or ‘works without an internet connection’. Maybe ‘works on a fully isolated LAN or VLAN’? A LAN (or WiFi) typically has routability to the Internet (though doesn’t have to, of course!) which is why w

Again with the ‘works over the LAN’. What do you think that actually means, because I keep explaining that doesn’t mean what you seem to think it does, and then you keep repeating it in a context which doesn’t make any sense.

I think it’s currently a theoretical issue, not a proven one. Do you have any concrete examples? IMO, the moment a device starts doing that, I’m setting it on fire.

I guess the question is, better or worse? Remote access without the central server seems to make direct attack easier?

The problem is that in the event an exception is the failure case being checked, and the output itself is not important (since any output that isn’t an exception is ‘success’), that is a perfectly acceptable use case. It’s why this is a fun

I’m pointing out that has literally nothing to do with LAN or Wifi. It’s a problem with having literally any (unfiltered) network access at all. Though even filtered, you’re susceptible to bypass attacks. Notably, a device can even route al

Read the thread. People are saying ‘if it connects to the LAN it’s safe’. I’m pointing out safe or not has nothing to do with it being on a LAN or not.

That’s what I’m saying, yes.

Why do you think the stock prices are so high?

No it doesn’t? They can do all these things just fine over a LAN connection (assuming it routes externally). If you can firewall your LAN - you can also firewall your WiFi.

Every KPI is bad if sufficiently gamed - and left in place long enough, all KPIs will be gamed.

How do you know if a problem is (actually) unsolvable? Seems a bit like proving a negative?

users sometimes end up with some combination of the above: 1) multiple wifi networks 2) ‘guest mode’ wifi networks (you can’t communicate to other devices on the same network) 3) various airplane mode type scenarios where they have cellular

Notably, the TV was caught making audio recordings and transcripts of conversations, and sending them to LG, independently of all this.

Notably, the caught the TV also recording and transmitting recorded audio and transcripts from the microphone.

By and large, that has been my experience.

Lowest common denominator? They have to round trip due to various NAT/router/firewall/App BS. Your average ‘idiot’ can barely get a managed App to work, and that typically requires some kind of cloud endpoint to co-ordinate.

Not just eom parts, also OEM service. Which is a huge problem when you live in bum fuck nowhere like many farmers.

Notably, some vehicles like the Toyota Highlander you can’t even figure out when you need to change the spark plugs, let alone what kind of spark plugs you need from the owners manual. Theoretically, they are to be replaced at 120k miles (!

That’s the companies problem. The farmers problem is the company is squeezing too much money out of them. There is no single solution to both problems.

All the ones I see are reactors through water shielding, in which case you’d be fine. If you see a noticeable cherenkov effect from something that close that wasn’t heavily shielded by something like water, your camera sensor will likely be

It joins phone location + tagid to provide location info of all tags. the backend then (hopefully) filters out tags people don’t want to track. ‘obfusication’ of IDs isn’t a meaningful thing here, or literally none of it would work. the who

Which will almost certainly be military, because civilian helicopters and staff aren’t equipped or trained for that kind of environment except for perhaps a every couple of years hazmat/mass casualty training.
