That is the idea. Increase the risk and arbitrary non viability of loopholes. No one will touch it so the only way to move forwards is minimal risk.

It’s even worse. Sometimes the packages that the DRAM ICs are encapsulated in have minor radioactive elements in and alpha particles emitted can flip bits. Interesting paper: https://media.blackhat.com/bh-us-11/Dinaburg

I think that's intentional as it massively increases the risk of doing something negative for the end user and leaves loopholes uncertain and prone to interpretation. It will forces businesses to stay well clear of the line or pack up

Perhaps surprisingly, you don't usually turn the power off when doing supply work. That is an incredibly rare event. And it's perfectly safe to work on if you have the right PPE. That 15-20 foot would have been some new pants rath

Most of those sorts of things are done on live kit. There are procedures and equipment that reduce the risk to virtually nothing. Which weren’t used clearly.

Yep. In that case Tesla shouldn’t even be mentioned in this. It just makes a good headline. I’m perpetually surprised at how crap even supposedly trained electricians are. At best they don’t understand the consequences of not doing somethi

If there was an arc flash risk he should have been wearing appropriate PPE. Arc flash is something you don’t argue with. It burns and blinds you almost instantly and fires vaporised metal into your torso potentially killing you. I’d like t

Go have a look around. Since about 2010 it's frowned upon. There are a few dealers who do it but most of the new cars don't have them.

Yeah it only comes bundled if you do a "full" install off the MacOS media. I do a fresh minimal install on mine. Windows users, myself included, have always been upset about the bundling. When you buy a PC these days you have to s

Probably means Garage Band, which is free multi-track recording software. How dare they ship privacy respecting productivity software with their OS instead of Candy Crush!

You're missing the point. Do you buy a car and have to peel all the advertising stickers off the windscreen, disable the tracking devices and scrub candy crush off the dashboard. Nope.

Privacy: ability to opt out of all data collection. Microsoft privacy: inability to opt out of all data collection unless you pay for enterprise edition. This makes a mockery of any policy.

This is a very good question. I suspect that at some point someone will fire up their lawyers and find an answer. Not only that but you can’t opt out from data collection at the moment.

Agree entirely. This should apply to all cloud services. If you use them for anything critical, total migration and DR should be part of your exit strategy for if anything like this happens. Everything you have in the cloud should be backed

Agree entirely. Look at the Brinks CompuSafe hack in 2015. Anything which increases the attack surface of a device reduces the security. In that case, a USB port. And that wasn't even made by the lowest bidding startup.
