I once spent 30min talking to security because of a laptop battery. I also once spent less than 10 minutes talking to security after testing positive to explosives. It's arbitrary as heck.
These days at Schipol Airport I ignore them. Through the entire bag through and let the security person request to go through it in detail. It's much faster than unloading all my stuff.
That means you have to carry an external display, mouse, and keyboard with you.
I spend most of my life moving between fixed docks. I don't carry anything with me except the device doing the work. When I'm on the go I don't expect to use something like this. It's when I reach where I'm getting to that this becomes useful.
I would also add that this isn't some kind of trade-off. It works without changing anything from the phone function of the phone OS while using it as a smartphone.
Same thing was said of Einstein by some people. I think fundamentally the point is we need to define "stupid".
I have seen some incredibly smart people do some incredibly stupid things. I know the technical authority in my company is a guru, an absolute genious, and has a mind that is incredible. But he's also my most likely person to self flagellate if he misses his wine drinking and biscuit sessions with the other religious nuts on a Sunday morning.
I have a hard time imagining the goofballs blowing themselves to kingdom come for the promise of goodies in some afterlife as anything resembling intelligent.
Then you are a very narrow thinker. The goofballs blowing themselves up are doing so for a strongly ingrained reason. The same reason allows people all over the world, be they scientists, politicians, engineers, or whatever to believe in some imaginary skydaddy. Intelligence and strong religious faith only have a weak correlation.
Your argument includes no null hypothesis. What would the stock price have been of Jobs was still around?
While we're at it a CEO change takes real time to materialise. A good portion of that meteoric rise in stocks between 2011 and 2014 were due to both market forces and the recent legacy and momentum of what Jobs had built.
It's quite telling that pussy Jobs the stock price seems to either say "meh" or spike down every time Tim Cook gets on a stage. The only time that happened to Jobs in modern Apple was when he got on stage looking thin and frail.
Driving a great company into the ground take time. Let's see how Apple is doing in another 10 years.
By the way other stocks at record highs include MS and also Yahoo. Remember them?
First, the checkpoints are first aimed at discouraging the stupid, a category that includes most terrorists
Just how "stupid" are the terrorists who get around security issues, who go around killing members of the public despite the immense resources thrown against preventing them, the ones that use encryption and don't leave incriminating evidence lying around, the ones that successfully have smuggled stuff past the TSA in the past.
I can't believe I'm defending them from anything, but if there's one thing terrorists are not, it's stupid.
You may think it's cool but doing so is as stupid as thinking, "that's an awesome gun" when someone has one pointed at your head.
I would think the same thing if I knew there were no bullets. Intel's ME runs all the time because it has system reasons for doing so. The thing that freaks out most people (remote administration) is controlled by the user. This can easily be verified by a network that doesn't respond to anything when it is disabled.
At that point you are limited to physical attacks that require someone to already own your machine.
"That's a pretty neat and loaded gun that you're about to shoot me with" I said as I lay bleeding out from my stab wounds.
infect any usb storage devices with your ME sploit and wait for some fool to boot one of those devices accidentally or intentionally
USB DCI doesn't work like that. This would need to enumerate as a specific DCI device to the USB Host. It isn't some virus that sits on a storage controller and short of bricking every device that becomes attached to the system it won't spread. Furthermore it will be immediately obvious that something has gone wrong.
Additionally DCI is highly system specific, and while it is possible that Intel's ME is configured identically in every system the odds of it are highly unlikely limiting any exploit, even if it could be automated and remoted to likely a specific family of processors.
This is bad, but it is hardly end of the world bad. Practice safe sex and don't stick foreign appendages in your ports. It may have an STD.
Oooh oooh oooh. First I assume you have a set of WRT54Gs. The timing would suit quite well. You'll need to install DD-WRT on it. You may need a JTAG cable to do this depending on the model. To access the GPIO pins you'll need to solder cables near the RP3 header. They will most likely require some level shifting as it's 3V I/O but if you look up any normal interface to a garage door opener which includes an open collector output then you should be good to go. I'm less certain about the software side. I guess some python could probably do that. You can interface this with the existing web server.
Finally don't forget an app, every cool project has an app.
And the environmental focus on emissions go far beyond CO2 which is why governments are focusing on reducing the numbers of scooters and diesels on the road. Still your tiny scooter has only a marginally better fuel efficiency than my 10 year old 1.4tonne car with a far larger co-eff of drag. So your awesome little scooter is actually quite the abomination when it comes to examples of efficient burning of fuel, even when looking at just CO2.
Right so the truck that lays the asphalt or concrete doesn't use fossil fuel?
Sure add some rounding errors in. It doesn't change the argument. May as well talk about the people doing the work farting while on the job. I am thinking this through in as much detail as is needed, the end result of the argument doesn't change, in terms of construction of roads, the emissions are virtually nothing compared with the refining of petroleum to get the ingredients, and they are already suck in the cost of producing the fuel you and I eject out of our tailpipes (evidently more unburnt in your case than in mine)
My commute to work on my bike takes 30 minutes, the same journey in my car takes about 50-60 depending on traffic.
There's an example of desperately clutching at anything that is available when you fundamentally change the units being talked about. We were talking about distance, now you're talking about time.
I read a bunch and they were mostly vague.
So you defer back to one with obvious bias by a pro bike group.
I don't blame you for this. Humans inherently defend their statements any way they can. They do so even more resolutely when the statements are about their own actions. It's the reason I'm not going to again scour the internet for links since you have already made up your mind based on one thing you read that vindicates you.
I knew this discussion was going to go nowhere before we even started.
Just like you can convert and old car into a bicycle I'm sure you can turn iPods into a Frankenstein's monster example of what technology was not supposed to do. The result will nearly always be inelegant, frustrating and I'll bet you a Mars bar you'll throw it away soon after you finish and buy an of the shelf solution anyway.
Speaking of buying these DIY solutions often end up costing fat more than you estimate as you find repeated shortcomings in what you create.
Take it from me, don't proceed unless you're a hobby tinkerer or a bored engineer who enjoys the busy work.
Make up for what? What games have you been playing for longer than 7 years? Which of those games are still supported?
if you're STILL playing Starcraft II then you should be happy with the renewed adrenaline shot it just got as it was slowly decaying.
In this world of abandoning things early and locking out customers Blizzard just showed how much they value customers still attached to older games through support of not the franchise, but the actual old game itself.
Um ok. So fuel use creates no pollution? Building and maintaining roads creates zero pollution?
I see you have a problem with causality so let me spell it out for you: Fuel consumption is not correlated to fuel emissions and environmental damage. Set a litre of petrol on fire and you're close to 2 orders of magnitude worse in environmental emissions than burning a litre of petrol in a modern car engine. Building and maintaining roads actually creates close to zero pollution. The majority of road materials are made of standard rock and then covered in a thick layer of a byproduct from gasoline refining. It is the fuel that creates the road. While we're at it and given that I've already postulated a scooter is worse than 1 car, why not extend that concept by putting 4 scooters in the same place since you're so freaked out by the environmental consequence of building a road.
You obviously didn't even read it.
I've read it before. It came up scattered among 20 other links backing up my conclusion. If you want them go through my post history, i'm not digging them all up again.
Point is the same. You fear all things equally including those inconsequential which are already covered by encryption. But really go your hardest, just know you're in the strange minority who VPNs all your traffic.

Then you realize an ESP8266 can do all that
You bought something else. You completely missed the point of this entirely facetious yet still somewhat accurate solution to the problem.
And yes I do, I have 3 of them on my home network already.

Just what I needed, A good sunday night laugh :-)
IME monitors packets and only acts when it gets the proper packet sequence.
IME enumerates a separate interface for networking. When you disable the network interface IME is no longer listening.
Unless you can show me a detailed description of where it says otherwise.
You may think it's cool but doing so is as stupid as thinking, "that's an awesome gun" when someone has one pointed at your head.

you morans
It's spelled mor... oh for Pete's sake.
but consider this civil disobedience against a system that suppresses dissenting opinions.
Trust us, the irony of your disobedience along with the resulting moderation they receive is not lost on us.
Undoubtedly, your first reaction is to censor this position to -1.
Yep, the title alone qualifies for an "offtopic" mod. Goodbye. It was nice not reading your irrelevant opinion.

The Blizzard End User License Agreement has all sorts of nuggets, like their Consent to Monitor:
"... THE PLATFORM ... MAY MONITORY YOUR COMPUTER ... MEMORY FOR UNAUTHORIZED THIRD PARTY PROGRAMS ..."
What can go wrong?
Every online game has done that for the past 10 odd years. You can thank the cheating arseholes for that now highly sought after feature.
something to make up for it
