Also important: What you hear and see about VPNs and using them in hacking movies (and yes, son, I know that you're watching them, hey, I watched them when I was your age, even though they were much, much worse garbage in my days, you didn't even get to see the screen, they even show that now), don't take it too serious, that's movies, ok? Nobody expects you to be like that, and trust me, VPNs don't behave like this either. You see how they make you invisible? They show that in the movies because that's what you want them to do, you, their user. But VPNs have their own needs and limitations and if you expect them to be like in the movies, not only will you be very disappointed, the VPN won't work for you either and you'll both be upset at each other.
Instead, find out what your VPN needs from you, find out what your VPN can do for you and best just forget everything you see on those hacker movies. They're made to excite you and deliver a fantasy, not to show you what real VPN networking is like.
Not to mention that such parenting sets kids up for a lucrative career in IT security, with thwarting such MitM attempts without parents noticing it being the first ITSEC project.
I currently have no use for a Cortex-M7 either, but still I got a few to learn about its features so when I need its power to create something I have the knowledge to use it.
The requirement here would be "I want to learn about VPNs and how to use them".
Yes, but it ain't turtles all the way down. At some point you have to exit your VPNs world and at that point, whoever you communicate with will get the information what that last endpoint, your "exit node" if you will, is. And could try to trace back from there if he has the means to, e.g. because you do something illegal and the ISP selling you the VPN has to hand out the information about who rented that box.
I kid you not. You can currently get chips with more features and faster processing speed cheaper than "older" chips with less. Mostly because the price of chips is mostly fixed costs and it costs about the same to make either of them, so making the more powerful one that outdoes or at least is on par with the competition's chip makes sense, else people will buy theirs and not ours.
Opinions don't hurt. Opinions are great, I needn't share it, and instead I can point out to some idiot why his opinion is crap.
The worst part is that anyone can hook his insecure, unpatched garbage onto the net and people are no longer connected via dialup with those infrastructural systems that "count" having multiple gigabits of bandwidth available to them, making the impact an idiot with a botnet sheep running 24/7 at his home ("because those torrents take forever, broadband MY ASS!!!!111!1!") insignificant.
These idiots that now have 20, 50, 100 and more mbit available to them CAN and DO pose a threat to key infrastructure.
Manufacturers can sell it and are not legally responsible for their crapware. People are dumb and buy it, not understanding what's going on. Damage is done to someone who cannot influence buying/selling of those things.
The price of a Mac is at least partly justified by its hassle-free ecosystem. At least that's what it HAD. And yes, people are willing to pay a premium for the promise that their computer will "just work". This does unfortunately also require a single-supplier model to ensure that all components are up to the task, for you'll certainly find someone willing to cut corners (pardon the pun) and deliver a cheaper, crappier knockoff that does not work 100% of the time but only 90%, which isn't good enough if you want "just works".
But their computers just went stale, this isn't "tried and forged in the fire of time", this is just "tired and to be fired in time".
How is Java, of all languages, a reasonable choice? Is there some kind of problem there isn't some standard class for that you throw the values at to get the results needed without even remotely understanding what you do?
Bubble sort? Throw your array at the relevant class. Binary tree? Inherit the relevant class. Linked list? See binary tree. Vector arithmetic? See java.math documentation (not to understand it but to know what classes and methods to use).
Please present a problem where you could actually see whether a student understood an elementary concept of computer science that cannot be solved in Java by throwing the parameters at some class without even having the foggiest idea what the problem is about, let alone knowing how to solve it yourself.

We found something that's insecure in Chrome that Edge isn't susceptible to!
Hey, that's reason to celebrate, and use the good champagne. It's not like it happens often.
Could you show a single case where someone managed to tack the damage done onto the culprit, i.e. the idiots making the electronic garbage?

If you're old enough to fight for your country, you're old enough to get the fuck out!

Couldn't find any way to refute it but had to find a reason to call me asshole? Or why?
Lucky you. Mine just went to 100F and demands 2 Bitcoins to set it back to normal levels.
Not strange at all, the chips are just cheaper.

That is the worst part of the internet right now.
Why exactly would it die?
Manufacturers can sell it and are not legally responsible for their crapware.
People are dumb and buy it, not understanding what's going on.
Damage is done to someone who cannot influence buying/selling of those things.
So what reason would you see for this to cease?
Why exactly should they learn anything?
Did the customer buy it? Check.
Did he return it? Nope.
What exactly is the problem the manufacturer could possible have?
That's probably the only way the makers of this insecure junk could be assed to up the security, when hackers redirect their mined coins.
Well, it hears the call of its master...
No, it needs a new desktop.

He probably understands that there's work to be done, he just doesn't understand why anyone would want a Mac for that.
And in the state the Mac computers are today, neither do I.
My faith in the veracity of Tim Cook's claims remains dead.
Put up or shut up. Apple has reached a level of credibility that I though was reserved for Microsoft.
The main problem is that he has been thinking of the children a bit too much.
He's an advertisers. He is guilty. At the very least of stealing people's time.

Makes sense, MBAs generally have no sense for the value of money. You know what they say, a fool and his money...
You could get your college books with just 1k? What did you study? 1k wouldn't even last a year in CS and statistics.
Why do you think gods were invented? Mostly because a few thousand years ago, CCTV wasn't really advanced enough, so they invented supernatural ones.
