Yes, but without criminalizing individual's right to video recording in public - sometimes this is necessary when you're dealing with bullying or sociopaths (where covert body came…

Wow, my comment about how devious people with NPD/APD are just got flagged. Does anyone know why this has happened? Have I broken any of the site rules here? [Update] Double checke…

But the USB charger manufacturers could do better by shutting down the output should arcing/sparking be detected. We already have this for 120V AC supplies, and it should be doable…

ARM based platforms such as Allwinner and Rockchip CPUs which are free of these security measures. Though the performance is very poor in comparison, however over the next few year…

Currently using an Ryzen at the moment, my next CPU is likely to be a used Xeon because of AMD's PSP nonsense, which has reached a new low with the EPYC CPU 'bricking'. On the Inte…

Not had a single crash on the Linux open source drivers though, here my RX 550 is rock solid with excellent performance for the given hardware. We have two different Vulkan drivers…

I think the GDPR would make an opt-out requirement mandatory. Still you can always physically disconnect the module and likely there will be an aftermarket solution to disable what…

The EU requires the module to be powered off except in an emergency. So it's not in contact with cell towers all the time, except when it needs to make an emergency call. It's easy…

These aftermarket hacks should definitely be legal, but don't expect Tesla to provide any more online services such as automatic firmware upgrades. These would have to be done manu…

Quite possibly some sort of personality disorder, e.g. Narcissistic or Antisocial PD. Most ordinary people are unaware of just how devious and manipulative these types can be. It's…

One of the nice things about the terminal is that things stay consistent for decades or more - people are not chasing fashion trends all the time, as is happening with the Web and …

You absolutely can as an single individual, with that CMOS camera on your person. It's when we start using a networked database to store faces, this is when it should become unlawf…

A stationary camera looking up up peoples faces 24/7 in a huge database is a very different thing to occasional photography by an individual, who only has a limited memory capacity…

Also on old AMD hardware (SMC based GPU/CPU?) there is a very critical time period JUST after the device comes out of reset and before the SMC starts to lock everything down. Then …

Double plus if it's for an environmental cause. That would be a PR disaster.

While I don't have the time to look at this myself, someone should really have a go at trying to crack this, here are some EPYC server schematics with the JTAG signals brought out …

It could be done with some kind of JTAG mod-chip, but this depends on what kind of JTAG security they've implemented. If you want to know where to start, search GitHub for 'KaveriP…

It becomes a problem when there's a monopoly or a duopoly of suppliers and there are no suitable alternatives on the market with similar performance characteristics. I believe then…

With a criminal penalty via the DMCA for bypassing it, because encryption is involved. That's why I'm so angry and want companies employing such encryption to be prevented from doi…

Although a PSP flaw is very unlikely to harm an individual user, it puts the US and it's intellectual property at risk from foreign actors such as Russia or China. And many enginee…

In many jurisdictions the product has to be 'fit for purpose', should the PSP be cracked and a hacker able to use it to assist malware wouldn't that make AMD's product not fit for …

AMD, you removed the TrueAudio block from your older Radeon GPUs, couldn't you cut the PSP and implement some of its functionality using logic instead of a CPU? So the first thing …

AMD should realize they are tarnishing their own brand reputation with the inclusion of the PSP and the recent CPU lockdown. Even though it's a server CPU that's affected by the lo…

These kind of DRM-like 'security' features starting being implemented first with phones and consoles and then has spread throughout the entire industry like a cancer. Many of the f…
