If I am understanding the article correctly, NHTSA asserts that to open up telematics to 3rd parties would allow remote attacks on multiple vehicles' safety-critical systems simult…

My guess is that since the packet is officially reserved and should not be set, a common firewall or other security appliance considers said packets to be malformed and drops them …

In the article, Firefox is cited as intending to adopt MV3 for compatibility reasons. If they indeed do so, I'm not sure how much relief running Firefox will offer from the more ev…

The concept this video covers proably will not come to a surprise to some here. However, I didn't take any of the classes in college that would introduced this concept to me. Thus,…

I will not disagree with the premise that our current and future energy needs require diversification into more nuclear generation, and that nuclear requires uranium. I will howeve…

This feels like one of those obvious-in-hindsight things. Of course an unshielded conductor would radiate RF correlating with the signal it carries, and if you could pick up the ra…

Indeed I have. I have edited my post to reflect that.

That's probably deliberate. An intentional name collision seems a good way to run a front.

Huh. There's a lot bands in the "Hate" section. Looking up the various names I'm finding various death metal and black metal bands. I can't help but wonder how many of those bands …

Man, I wish I would have known about this a few weeks ago when I was working on repairing a water damaged controller board from an electric smoker. Fortunately, the damaged compone…

At 21:44 UTC, facebook.com resolves for me.

I mean, when I last worked in a NOC, we used to call ourselves "NOC monkeys", so yeah. IF you're in the NOC, you're a NOC monkey, if you're on the floor, you're a floor monkey. And…

Yes, but Facebook is not a small company. Could PagerDuty realistically handle the scale of notifications that would be required for Facebook's operations?

Link to such claims here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28750894 I have no doubt that the publicly published post-mortem report (if there even is one) will be heavily redact…

Okay this is fun. Some thoughts: * The volume ramps up a bit too quickly. In trying to blend hese, I don't think I've taken a single one above 10. Finer gradations in volume, if po…

In the end of the video he lists off the number of things he did that were fancier than necessary. One of them was the use of an Arduino for the pulse duration and switching. I fou…

What is the cause of the excess heat transfer? Is it mainly an excess pulse duration? I notice that the project in the OP was being pulsed on the order of 100s of ms, long enough t…

If you read the linked book, it covers this point. Yes, the tech exists to build bombs with multi-megaton yields and has existed for decades However, those super-big explosions are…

> Fancypants non-stainless steel knives do exist and will rust. > I don't really get why anyone likes them though. The non-stainless alloys will have an easier time taking and keep…

The situation with SMPTS and port 465 is a fun one. By my understanding, at present, implicit TLS for submission isn't standard. Now, a lot of mail server operators listen on port …

For a second, I was hoping the image on the phone case was an adversarial one, intended to jam up facial-recognition other surveillance-related AI. No, nothing so extravagent, just…

That's an interesting idea. I don't know if the FTC has the authority to do so under the current powers given to it by Congress, and I don't know if I'd like the precedent of them …

What's the cutoff for larger networks where the price starts to go down? Would say, a /16 count? Or does that effect kick in as low as, say, a /20?

Years ago, when I perhaps more naively believed in the benevolence of Google, and that wisdom of the Elder True Nerds who worked there would lead us to The Future, I might have app…
