Do you have __any idea__ how difficult removing the chip and re-surface mounting it for an attack... Removing the trace means an extra step which is the whole point. Ffs

Very cool. I wonder why companies still leave the UART pins accessible. Fine they're on the chip, but just remove the trace and slow down attack evolution is worth the cost of a board revision surely...

Long term being further down the line, i.e. net result in 5 years is still the same regardless of how quickly things evolve. I'd argue that because happens in 5min that's an immediate effect regardless of if it happens after somet

how is that not long term thinking?

Did someone just make a serious blog post to describe thinking. One that is deadpan not philosophical and supposed to (by the authors view) be helping people? If this is new to people it would explain 99% of the most horrific security vulne

I'm familiar enough with the way that these things are structured, why and how policy are implemented from a bureaucratic perspective that I understand when there are un-intentional sytematic bias. I'm not talking about access to

Tl;Dr c is closest to what you're asking but it's more like. (D) Kroupka is making bold claims that have to be verified first in the scientific arena very loudly and publically. That is odd. He is claiming that DM doesn't exi

Yes but during a time when there is mass psycological depression and other chaos is difficult to believe this change is "just due to people becoming more comfortable with the idea". For reference I'm in favour of MAID as a co

There is a reason this were done that way until the 60s/70s. In large part because nobody the everything away because it was cheap. Not all of the "moving forward" has been a good idea or actually beneficial. But yes some inv

Unfortunately you are getting a little crossed from your perspective. You're asking a question that to experts is structured oddly because you can't disentangle things you're trying to separate. I'll try to explain. Agai

Good luck if he gets a patent and helps improve the world. This feels like another story on a revolutionary battery which is 20% better but has 3x parts and is 10x the final cost. I hope it's just bad reporting.

Unfortunately a lot of the models try to remove DM completely from either a gravity or CP perspective and both have direct consequences as to what sort of stable structures in the universe that allow to form. And the models often conflict w

Dark matter as a particle has to have certain properties in order to satisfy what we know about a) it's EW interactions and b) the fact we haven't seen it yet. Over the next 20 years or so we will likely cover a huge amount of the
