Google may not be the Mother Teresa of tech objectively, but compared to Uber, they almost are Mother Teresa. And at least Google is capable of developing serious tech and has a track record of doing so. Having watched the video, I struggle to understand how Uber put a car this incapable of avoiding pedestrians on a public road at all. If you or I did that, we'd likely spend the rest of our lives in jail.
Communist governments are solely focused on the welfare of the political SYSTEM, and never of the CITIZENS that said system is - in government propaganda at least - supposedly serving. Communists also do not believe in God, ethics, morality, basic concepts like "thou shallt not lie/kill/steal" et cetera. The individual is expendable in Communism, and always has been expendable in Communism. People are like ants for China's communists. When the ant goes left, it lives. When the ant turns to the right, a great big leather boot stomps on it. China puts a veneer of "We are achieving great development in all things through our wonderful Communist system" on this. But this is propaganda. The Chinese are not free people with proper rights who live in a democratic society. And each time we buy an electronic gadget or other product "Made In China" we strengthen the Chinese Communist Party's grip on people living withing its borders. As long as money keeps flowing in from the Democratic world, China's "Communist Paradise" stays strong.
A) Killled a poor woman just because they were eager to put not-read-for-action-at-all vehicles on public roads B) Paid/settled the family of said woman into silence C) Ruined make-a-living-through-cab-driving for hundreds of thousands of low-income cabbies in dozens of developing countries with a fucking smartphone app.
and then sell it to some country that wants to buy it. That country could give you a digital certificate in return, and you'd roughly have something like Bitcoin. Except of course that the electricity would probably be used for something useful that, too, aids in the creation of wealth. Precisely what does cryptocurrency do with the electricity? It just burns it on solving meaningless cryptopuzzles.
On 3D forums I frequent sometimes, Mac users have been using external GPUs for ages. What is new here? Or is Bana... I mean Apple merely making support official?
In Kardashian America, ANYONE working out in a pink thong IS a celebrity. If you really were Russian Intelligence, you would know that. You are Greek Intelligence posing as Russian Intelligence. You also have some Feta cheese in your mustache and a badly smudged lens on your webcam.
Russian intelligence set up 133 Million fake MyFitnessPal accounts, so it could syphon Billions out of the U.S. economy. Except of course that the guy who filled in "Field Action Request Form 47-P-154-X-110-U-A-4" typed MyFitnessPal on the mechanical typewriter, rather than PayPal. Putin had him punished by having him thrown out of a plane over the Baltic, with a Sodomov A-47 mechanical fitness tracker shoved up his r*ctum.
So you have 150 Million users. That's a lot of people. Distribute them over 10 different systems, each with different OBSTACLES to being hacked in place - i.e. each needs to be hacked in a slightly different way for anyone to get inside. A successful hack of 1 system would mean only 15 Million are exposed at one time. If you detect the hack as it happens, you can quickly take the other 9 systems offline, make changes to security, and so on and so forth, possibly saving 135 Million customers records from exposure. Why would you store 150 Million credentials in ONE place, one system, one database or whatever to begin with? What part of a Fitness Tracking App needs access to 149,999,999 other user's data to function? Divide up your users. Make each system slightly different to access.
Major corporations who buy their employees thousands of business laptops a year have no idea any sort of security risk exists? Even though they know that even 5 or 6 Word files in the wrong hands could do massive damage in the millions to them?
So you are stuck in a hotel room in China for 9 days, and write 10 emails a day on your phone? Why not do this on YOUR LAPTOP while enjoying EXACTLY THE SAME SECURITY as doing it on your phone? Minus the tiny touchscreen keyboard you suggest people should use.
There are millions of people around the world who work for major corporations and DO travel with confidential shit on a laptop computer. What makes you think the market for this is SMALL? These are people whose EMPLOYERS pay for their hardware. Wouldn't those employers cough up an extra 100 to 200 Dollars to keep stuff safe that could do Millions of Dollars in damage if stolen?
How do you HACK my proposed solution if the 2nd SOC is NOT connected to rest of the system? There is NO physical connection between the SOC and the CPU, RAM, BIOS, SSD and so forth. It is even turned on and off using a separate hardware switch. How precisely do you HACK this system? Also, what makes you think that your 2 encrypted partitions are foolproof in any way?
A completely separate Computer-On-A-Chip that has NO physical connection to the rest of the system but is inside the same laptop casing for convenience lets you attack that system how? Where precisely is this "more attack surface area" you are talking about? You can hack the hell out of the SOC included, the SOC is NOT physically connected to the main motherboard, RAM, CPU, SSD or anything else. Precisely how can you hack one component, and then get from that component to a completely UNCONNECTED system? Where is the security nightmare that IT would face?
I already have to travel with a large, heavy 17" CAD laptop that needs a bulky laptop bag. Carrying a 2nd machine just isn't doable. So why not have a little 2nd internet computer integrated into that 17" monster that lets me go online when I need to, without my CAD files and business documents being visible to the internet?
What you are referring to is PART of the main CPU. Of course it is hackable when the ENTIRE system faces the internet. In my proposed solution, NONE of your main machine faces the internet. A small, cheap 2nd Computer-On-A-Chip faces the internet INSTEAD of your MAIN HARDWARE. It is inside the same casing so you don't need to carry 2 laptops or netbooks around. But there literally is NO way to access the main hardware FROM this 2nd little Internet Computer.
So I have a beefy Intel Core i7 system in my laptop, and a 2nd little SOC that sit in the same casing, but have NO physical connection WHATSOEVER and are even switched on/off separately using a HARDWARE switch (not a software switch or menu) and share NO HARDWARE whatsoever, not even a wireless chipset. How does that NOT buy me any extra security when a hacker is trying to get into my system?
What is so COMPLEX and HUGE and STUPID about adding a small SOC chip into a workstation replacement laptop that already costs 2,500 Dollars to buy? Is there really NOBODY who would benefit from a having a 2nd small and cheap computer integrated into a Laptop computer?
Why would I CARRY a 2nd Laptop around when I can get the same benefit with just ONE little SOC chip added to my main laptop? Every tried traveling for 2 weeks with 2 different laptops?
This question originated in a patent writing effort I was a part of 3 years ago. Basically, we were drafting the patent document for an invention on one PC that had no internet connection at all - to keep the invention safe from prying eyes until the patent could be filed. And we were using another computer with internet connection in a different room to look up stuff on the internet, like patent writing regulations, patent formatting guidelines, patent filing deadlines, technical stuff and so on. It was a pain in the ass because to keep the invention to be patented confidential, we had to write the patent on one computer with no internet whatsoever, and do everything internet related on a separate computer, going back and forth between the 2 machines for weeks. So I thought - why not make a computer that can go on the internet WITHOUT potentially exposing the entire machine to the internet. Having a 2nd mini-PC inside the main computer that can go online but cannot expose the rest of the computer to any would-be hackers seemed like a great solution for this. There are many real-world situations where you DO need the power of a full Win 10/Core i7 PC to accomplish something, and DO need to look stuff up on the internet all the time while you are doing this - technical details or technical knowhow for example - but are constantly fretting that exposing the ENTIRE PC or laptop to the internet could result in your work being stolen. So I came up with the idea of 2 computers in one casing - 1 large, fully featured computer that is not seen by the internet, and 1 much simpler SOC computer that CAN see the internet and be seen by the internet. Its kind of like using little netbook computer alongside your main laptop for internet stuff, but the netbook is built into your main machine, and can run parallel to it when needed.

It can run Crysis BACKWARDS and SIDEWAYS at 1,000,000 FPS. The gameplay is also far more tense, because you are using Nvidia's new TENSOR cores.
