You may want to take a look at some of the sleuthing Wendell over on Level1Techs did. He was able to identify a large group of CPUs used in W680 chipset motherboards (i.e. using stock Intel power curves, never seeing a lick of overclocking&

That depends on how you authenticate. If you pass your SSH password on the command line then anyone on your machine doing a `ps` at the right time could see your password. I find using a ssh-agent to load password protected SSH keys works b

Yes. With Xpra you have a headless X session on the remote machine and you "detach" and "attach" to it from the client. So whatever X applications you leave running will be right where you left them.

Someone already mentioned that your ECU doesn't really need to talk to other systems (besides perhaps via the OBD-II port with a well established, industry standard, backed by regulation protocol). And I'll also add that at no poi

Your job, as an engineer, is to keep the ship battle ready. Not waste time by ceding control to another entity that doesn't have any engineering know-how to evaluate what does and does not need done. Take the reigns and do what needs d

Assuming above ground lines: On the same "holder", no, just due to how the wire is fastened to the poll. On the same poll, maybe, depends on how much poll real estate is available. Usually though there is not extra space available

So bootstrap in freestanding does make this kind of attack much more difficult to pull off, but with contemporary hardware, it does not fully prevent the attack. What if the trojan is in microcode? No amount of bootstrap in freestanding can

TCP/IP is so well defined because the engineers on these small teams are the ones publishing the standards. It isn't like they are simply reading a spec out of an existing document and coding up a conformant program.

So...disable the container feature? Do you just not review the configuration of your networking equipment? It is a convenient way to maximize hardware in SOHO deployments.

The technology to do load follow at a nuclear plant exists. If you think about it, "base load" has nothing to do with the power source. Given some period of time, say a day, you are always going to have a certain minimum demand fo
