I wasn’t aware of any for consumer level chips. All I really want is a basic motherboard+processor with ECC RAM and solid electronics with good capacitors and power filters like the manufacturers seem to be doing for the high end gaming rigs, but without a lot of bells and whistles that need to be turned off as part of the “new computer” process.
they had the technology the whole time to make upgraded modular chips and sell them for pre-existing computer architecture
I’ve heard that it’s also possible to make consumer motherboards with ECC RAM and no built-in wifi as well, but surely someone would’ve tried that by now if is was technologically possible.
Maybe the RISC-V RVA23 push will be able to figure it out.
An investment that would pay off if the tech industry went to hell would be Put options on QQQ (an ETF that tracks the NASDAQ-100). You have to get both the timing and the drop correct, and better funded groups with much faster computers AND the ability to make trades to prop up the market while they unload their shit will be competing against you (every options trade has an opposite side and most of them expire worthless). Watch the movies Margin Call and The Big Short for research as much as playing the lottery can be researched (they’re good movies so it’s time well spent anyway). Make a movie night out of it and watch The Other Guys which was directed by the same guy who directed The Big Short. Watch through the end credits.
I didn’t read the article because gizmodo, but as other people here have said, Dr. Burry (he’s played by Christian Bale in The Big Short) often thinks things are going to go south, and there’s usually reason to think so, but in general as Warren Buffett could easily have said, “stonks only go up.” NVDA, AAPL, and MSFT make around 15% or so of the entire world stock market and around 20% of the US market. Nobody’s going to let them collapse and even without the AI craze they still have all the other stuff to fall back on. Thumbs will go on the scale to an extent even greater than the 2008 collapse.
All of them at once.
Get very, very good at virtual machines, containers, and networks and set up your computer so that it looks like an OSCP test lab environment. Have your daily driver computer have its own user space networks decoupled from each other.
We’re kind of at a point where a lot of concepts have been done and done well. If you get used to having NFS (securely!) set up, you can run it on your host computer which runs something relatively boring and have a bunch of VMs that do whatever you want. Tried something weird with the latest Gentoo and it didn’t work? Flip the off switch on that VM, mount the image as a drive and copy off what you want, then start over.
So Space Cowboys 2, except
EDIT: Spelling.
Ah. That’s a misunderstanding on my part, and a good news story. Still don’t want to wake up tomorrow and see a published AES break, though.
A MITM doesn’t require decrypting. It just requires telling a convincing enough lie to each side of a conversation that they think they’re talking to the other party. Then you end up encrypting to their key which they can just read. That’s different from breaking the encryption.
Are you sure they can’t decrypt?
No, and none of the state actors who do that kind of stuff will ever tell you. Watch The Imitation Game for a good/bad time and some context.
If you had a break for the modern crypto schemes and published it right now you would shut down all digital commerce, a lot of the spy traffic if not most of it1, and nothing could be started back up again until everything was redone from scratch. Best hope would be that the post quantum algorithms2 the cryptographers have aren’t succeptible to whatever you did to break the existing algorithms. It’d take a bit to get the software implementations and keys in place, etc. The hardware stuff would take longer.
Could be that the OS looks at the lower end machine specs and decides ahead of time it can’t run all the extra stuff where the higher end machine gets over the line and runs it, or it could be something the sysadmins did since they’re work machines. No way to know without the source code which we won’t get.
I’ve been wondering ever since what can they do if they had it?
Ask for pictures of all his other paperwork so they can finish onboarding him at his new job.
Anything that creates a reproducable build for you is fine; however, learning Ansible (or Puppet, etc.) puts you on the road to being able to do that sort of thing professionally.
You can’t even show me the right speed limit due a sign on a different road that say 5MPH, when I’m on a 30MPH road, and suddenly you start beeping at me cause I’m going too fast?
Insurance company using police report: “Sorry, your rates are going up because you were going 25MPH over the speed limit. What were you thinking?”
I agree with your sentiment, and that the world should work like your hypothetical.
how could they possibly ever know
Lawyers doing lawyer stuff. As to why, you said it:
I made mega money and they found out
We’d have to have real lawyers weigh in, but for the most part I think unless you found an undiscovered market then they won’t care. Programming isn’t unique in the respect that the tools you need to do world-changing work aren’t that different between what you might have at home versus a well funded computer science research lab, but you’re much more likely to stumble into a marketable app than you are a quicker FFT.
I don’t get how anyone could EVER enforce a law or agreement or rule that says something I wrote at home on my device on my time is theirs.
Check your employment terms. I’d wager the first step of that is seeing if you have a paper copy. I know I don’t for all the places I’ve worked or acquisitions I’ve been through.
Something like an ALCU or Second Amendment Foundation that focused on nothing but that would be a nice-to-have. I think it overall destroys creativity in the industry.
It’s depressing to be wasted pointless effort in a bureaucratic corporate nightmare.
And depending on the details of your employment, if you code for fun, on your own time, at home, using your own equipment, the company still owns it.
There’s literally nothing for detectors to go on anymore.
It’s harder for users as well. Even youtubers I’ve followed for a while have started using the recipe of having a ridculous thumbnail such as “WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER BUY THIS” with an arrow pointing to something. After a couple of times of catching me because I own one of the things the arrow is pointing to (and then watching a 10:01 long video not talking about the item in question) I decided not to fall for it. I noticed that discovery of a new channel got hard. They’re all following the recipe now since I guess youtube mandates it, so it’s the same bas relief thumbnails that seem like they pose a question and a video that doesn’t answer it. We’ll end up with a new Betteridge’s Law and the resource youtube once was is lost forever and we’ll stand around making dumb faces thinking how we’re all getting ripped off…
Install gnome-tweaks. It’ll be under “Accessories” or you can search for it in their activities travesty. There are some gnome-shell-extension-X things to install as well before you head into the tweaks program. They all used to be part of gnome-tweaks and now they’re not. If I recall a helpful web lookup occurs when you’re messing with that stuff and tells you what package to install.
gnome can be rough until you tailor it to your usage or if you’re in an austere environment with no internet. I think all those settings can be changed via editing dconf directly, but I don’t know how, and at this point in my life I don’t really feel like trying to hack a user experience provided to me into usefulness (no root, admin doesn’t want to use linux at all so he sets up the minimal least risky thing he can and won’t change it). gnome’s interpretation of “minimal” is pretty painful.
I use LXQT when I can. I’ll get around to trying modern KDE at some point.
You can customize gnome pretty far. The code to have normal human minimize/maximize/close buttons is all still there, and the window bar is there as well. You just have to know which programs to pull from dnf that know what registry dconf settings to adjust. I have yet to find a use case for nautilus between Dolphin (KDE) and using a terminal.
So to sweep all of the water systems in the country in advance isn’t doable in any time frame?
IR isn’t an acronym I’m familiar with.
So are we just kind of admitting that there exists no way to expose any networked device to the internet securely?
It’s done all the time. It’s not a product you can buy, though, it’s a process. There’s probably a good “go by” for how to start the process for citywide infrastructure, but it’s just one more document for people to ignore.
I stand corrected.
