What’s the mechanism that prevents MS from serving malicious updates to a specific subset of users?

Sounds like you’re describing a range extender attack on the keyless start. Almost(I don’t know any that aren’t) all cars with the feature are vulnerable to this.

That’d be great, unfortunately real people aren’t like that.

You’re intentionally defeating (weak) access controls intended to keep you from reading the article without paying. Would it be okay for you to exploit a SQLi bug on the website to access the articles just because it’s easy?

>what makes the debian packaging system so trustworthy The fact that it just isn’t regularly targeted? If you look at npm & co. you’ll see that the few attackers going after targets like this kind of suck.

Clearly, if the websites didn’t want you to download their customer db, they’d not let you inject SQL queries!

Doesn’t seem that easy to fuck up, you just use internal WG IPs for the L2 tunnel. Packets just won’t go anywhere if WG is down.

What tooling do you need for this? Shell scripts would be the traditional approach.

Airplanes aren’t particularly comfortable, but I don’t see coronavirus making flying any worse. If I was older or had a family to worry about I might see things differently, but right now this just seems like a good opportunity.

How many people will actually do this with their five year old phones? Probably not many. The ones that are worth anything to anyone already get shipped off to third world countries and refurbished en masse. I have a really hard time imagin

Do you actually think this will have a real impact “for the environment”?

by ryanlol 7y ago
Or just ship the screwdriver with the phones? Unfortunately users performing their own battery swaps will tend to lead to compromised waterproofing, which doesn’t seem great.

by ryanlol 7y ago
The battery is removable, you just need a screwdriver. This seems like a bad thing, any changes to make battery replacements significantly easier will almost certainly come at a significant cost. And in any case, it’s already really easy to

Why not? Presumably the vast majority of HN readers can easily afford to pay for the news. I didn’t even need to sign in to my wapo account to read this article, so presumably you’ve just hit some quota.

I really doubt that there exist many people whose traumas are invoked by “ear rape”. I don’t doubt that there are heaps of virtue signalers who’ll pretend to be utterly shocked though, fuck those people. It’s okay to joke about death, even

I would bet that there are far fewer people like that in NL than there are people who would work out of some twisted sense of not being “sick enough”.
