On top of the SoC stuff that other people have pointed out, even discrete radios often don't have any permanent firmware storage. Firmware has to be loaded every time the machine boots. Thus the only way to restrict what firmware loads is by restricting the main OS/firmware, or by having the hardware do some kind of signature check which increases the cost of the hardware.
Except this particular vulnerability has precisely nothing to do with jailbreaking. To the contrary, it's a flaw with Apple's own way for enterprise customers to install unapproved apps. They hate jailbreaking because it's a stepping stone to enabling piracy (thus slightly reducing app store revenue and causing app publishers to start breathing down their neck), a stepping stone to enabling non-carrier-sanctioned tethering (thus making carriers breathe down their neck), and other things that all either reduce Apple's profit or reduce someone else's profit, causing them to complain to Apple. It's basically the same reasons a game console manufacturer doesn't want people cracking their console.
Onlive? Yep, they went under. Honestly, I think it's more of a business model issue. For example, there are plenty of free-to-play games on Steam, but when I tried Onlive they seemed to offer free demos of a few games but had basically no actual free games, probably because it would be far too difficult to actually monetize them. Considering most people who used it probably had doubts about its longevity, it's no surprise that people didn't really want to invest in Onlive. In order for concerns about latency to matter, you have to actually get to the point where people would otherwise use your service to begin with.
Right now, there isn't really a good streaming solution. The cloud-based ones all require you to repurchase your entire game library, and Steam in-home streaming only works across a LAN and most people aren't going to want to set up a VPN to get across that restriction. If there was a system that could just play games you already have on Steam, it would have a much higher chance of success.
Yes, god forbid drivers voluntarily sign up to be Uber drivers (and set their own hours) so that people can voluntarily ride in Uber vehicles. It's funny how when there's an article about the DMCA,/. is almost entirely against it, but then when there's idiotic and/or outdated taxi laws that hurt competition and worsen the quality and price of the product provided to the consumer, people are suddenly against the company that has the balls to stand up to it.
But if the original source machine has already picked which IPv6 source address to use then the firewall has to use the correct ISP (as, hopefully, packets with a spoofed source address will be blocked and return packets will come via a different route so the firewall will probably not like them either.)
No it doesn't. You can always NAT, in both v4 and v6, even if the original source address is a non-private IP. I have 2001:0:0:a::/64 from one ISP and 2001:0:0:b::/64 from another ISP, and I put my LAN clients on 2001:0:0:a::/64, I can still use NAT to change the source IP of packets being routed via ISP #2.
The sad part is that for whatever reason, stuff that you would never dream of paying for on a desktop costs money on iOS. Everything from adblockers to solitaire games either seem to cost money or be ad-riddled.
It's explained in greater detail in someone else's comment above, but basically: they don't have to, because that code already exists to detect when the car is on a Dyno. You need that, for example, because if the front wheels are moving and the rear wheels aren't, it might mess with the traction control system. If I were them, I'd play it off as exactly that unless there's some kind of evidence otherwise.
Well, it looks like he didn't even really make a keyboard, he just took some existing ones, put emoji stickers on them, and then remapped their buttons to emojis through whatever means. I thought it would have been something like this.
Here's how I understand it:
1. The malicious "images" are hosted on imgur.
2. They are posted to/r/4chan, a place on reddit, which I assume is a place to talk about 4chan but not connected to the site in any way.
3. The malicious code downloads a bunch of images from 8chan, effectively DDoSing it.
Yes, the summary is awful and contradicts itself a few times. It has nothing to do with 4chan from how I understand it.
No it's not, those are the theoretical max speeds which you never actually get even in near-vacuum conditions. Not to mention it's shared among all devices on that frequency, so in an office with a lot of devices it can get congested. Especially if there are slower legacy devices, which will take up a larger chunk of air time to transmit/receive the same amount of data.
They don't have to mass produce it because it's a niche product to begin with. It's probably going to be prohibitively expensive, not to mention the cooling required means you won't be seeing them in Macbooks and the like.
It's not uncommon. It's rather well-known that the SJW types tend to have more money, so businesses love to pander to them. It doesn't matter whether they actually believe in those principles or not, they just have to make it look like they do.
There's probably some way you could apply a voltage to the outer shell such that it would have the same voltage as the inner shell, allowing you to drill without blowing it. It's unlikely that applying voltage to the outside would trigger the bomb, since ESD would be likely to set it off. Seeing as how he had to move the bomb around and moving around tends to generate some static, he would probably want to design the bomb to not be triggered by an outside voltage.
In addition, I'm assuming X-ray technology has gotten better now, so you might be able to see how the switches are wired so you could flip the one that would disarm it. You could also try to freeze the entire thing without actually putting liquid inside of it, but that could also be foiled by including a temperature sensor.
Good luck with that. In Seattle, none of the stores even take credit cards (I'd assume payment processors don't want them), and they don't record your ID when they check it, so all the feds would have to go off of is security camera footage.
Because Spanish is the "easy" language class, which is a self-fulfilling prophecy. All the losers join the class because they need their language requirement, and then the class has to be dumbed down to their level. I can't even count how many times we had to revisit basic first year Spanish stuff in second year Spanish because the bottom of the class kept forgetting. It also doesn't help that most people are never really taught how English works mechanically, they just know how to speak it.
But if you give someone a locked down iDevice, it becomes a tool that teaches people, rather than a tool people can learn about. If you give students a generic Windows laptop that they have at least some degree of control over, then they get to learn a thing or two about computing while they're at it, which a lot of schools are sorely lacking in.
1. Search "Supermicro atom board" on ebay. Try to find one that comes with RAM. You should be able to get the board+RAM for under $100 if you wait for a good deal to arise.
2. Get a PicoPSU to power it and a thumb drive to install the OS on. This has the added bonus of never having to worry about bricking due to bad flashes.
3. Install whatever OS you want since it's x86.
Plus you'll forever be safe of the FCC's proposed rules against custom firmwares on routers.
I think what it means is that it ignores the user's telemetry settings, but you might still be right. I just uninstalled the telemetry updates and hid the windows 10 update, and conveniently the next time I checked windows update it lost all my windows update settings like which updates I hid (even ones I hid a long time ago).
I wonder if Enterprise lacks some of the annoyances? It seems to be the only edition where you can actually disable telemetry via Group Policy, and I don't think corporate customers would want advertisements tossed in their employees' faces.
Used NICs are cheap: $20 on ebay gets you a 10GbE NIC with an SFP+ port. Switches are still expensive but I'm sure they'll come down in price soon enough.
Now think about how wifi equipment manufacturers are going to actually enforce this. Are they going to check if the firmware you're trying to load follows the rules? No, because they can't magically do that. They're just going to only allow you to update to a manufacturer-signed firmware.
The non-dick solution would to just be to keep the old system but cap the overage charges at $30, so you can get unlimited for $30/month without having to guess how much bandwidth you're going to use up to a month in advance.

Multiples of 3 are perfectly fine if you have a triple-channel memory controller (anything LGA1366).

The DMCA isn't 100% bad – the safe harbor provisions are good. They just need punishment for false infringement notices.
A toe isn't even the worst body part I can think of for unlocking a phone.
