This is just an extension of every automated job in factories since day one. The operators sit there monitoring the machines for problems and only intervene when there is a problem - and the process has been engineered the hell out it to minimize problems.
The "novel" approach being gushed over here seems to be that:
1. It's a robot that is being monitored. 2. The operator is working remotely.
neither of which are particularly novel, or new.
Now git off my lawn.

Funny, both me and my friend worked at companies where we were told to ignore risk. Why would intel be different?
There is risk and there is risk. In the work I do risk means that someone could die. It may be that in your and your friends work risk means some people might not be able to access their social media platform for a few hours and not be able to post pics of their cats. For Intel the risk is that their systems run unchanged for multiple years at a time and have a huge market share and could require a hardware fix in order to correct any issues that come up.
Totally random OT post, but the Public Domain Drought could easily move to any of 172 other countries in the world and start drinking legally now.
The contemporaries of the US with a drinking age of 21 are: Côte d'Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Iraq, Kiribati, Micronesia, Mongolia, Nauru, Oman, Palau, Samoa and Sri Lanka.
And the only countries that technically forbid drinking alcohol are: Afghanistan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Brunei Darussalam, Iran, Kuwait, Libya, Maldives, Mauritania, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, United Arab Emirates and Yemen
That, along with civility and respect, all died with Kennedy. It's been downhill ever since then. He was the last president we could ever be actually proud of, a good segue after Eisenhower, and a taste in women to match, especially compared to the tramps we saw in the 90s and the plastic fembots we have now!
I cry for Camelot!
So JFK is all right by you because you approve of the women he had affairs with?
Perl is in there on the low side with the strictly typed languages. I guess this is because in perl no one can actually read the code in order to work out the bug later - hence a win for minimizing bug fixes.
Nah.. its' because even if you pound on the keyboard with sheer frustration at Perl EG %&%^@$#&%^&(* you still produce a valid program that solves a problem.
Sweden, rape capital of Europe, is "shown to work well" when it comes to supply and demand for sex?
Ah yes, that old saw-horse, which has been shown to be false for a number of reasons. But you missed the opportunity to tie it in with immigration and you know.. "those people".
From the linked bodycam footage, it does look like the guy lowered his raised hands, grabbed a gun and aimed it at the police. Not that that excuses what followed.
Really???!!?!? You can see a gun in that morass of badly lit video? And where was said gun *after* the shooting? Because if he had a gun the police would have been happily showing it off.
The guy put his hands up when told to. Apparently he did it too fast, which looks as though "he's got a gun". This attitude of "cops should be treated like kings", which is essentially what you're arguing, is the problem here. Cops aren't soldiers. If the person is not complying, that is not a reason for killing them.
Yet sadly they are being armed with ex-military equipment*. I have no idea why a podunk police force up the road from me, and in a rural area has need of a mine-proof vehicle (which they proudly showed off at the state fair)
* and while the current POTUS might think this is a good thing, it has been going on for a while now.
With somebody modding you (parent) informative, rather than funny, I can't help thinking that it's time we all started filling in some of our foxholes, rather than burying ourselves any deeper.
I'm as bemused as you. I even hit +4 informative at one point
If they would have declared that they really wanted to interfere with the ingauguration, they would have had some sympathizers. But as they just wanted to use those cameras for spamming & ramsomware - to Gitmo with them. Daily waterboarding please. And they should be joining by whover's responsible of those cameras security holes.
There's little chance of seeing the mass exploitation of real-world devices using acoustic attacks on hard drives, as such scenario is likely impractical due to the multiple criteria an attacker needs to satisfy.
Nonetheless, acoustic attacks are inherently suitable for targeted attacks against carefully selected critical systems. For example, acoustic attacks can help nation-state sponsored attacks, aid with physical intrusions into secure systems, corrupt or sabotage forensics collection, or even cause loss of human life when attacking HDDs used by medical devices.
So once again you need physical access in order to perform this "exploit". In which case all bets are off anyway.
And the whole ATM thing is just TFA author's wishful thinking, and has nothing to do with the actual research paper.
Just to explore a scenario not included in the research paper, an ATM malware gang can deploy an acoustic attack on an ATM to prevent it from temporarily collecting forensic evidence while fileless malware executes in the ATM's RAM and dispenses cash to attackers. This scenario and many more others exist.
Trump is only preventing Federal agencies from using Kaspersky Lab's offerings, he's not keeping them from selling to other US customers. You can still buy their products in the USA.
Playing devil's advocate here (and not having read TFA.. surprise surprise).
If Trump's order rescinds existing contracts then Kaspersky may have a valid claim when suing city hall.
But Bezos is a democrat... you know... that party that is all about the people.

I'm seeing more and more references to "a software." Would you like to buy a software with your hardware?
Sure .. can you inbox me with the details?

The media's pictures from weird angles and from 2+ miles away from the stage did just fine at that. They didn't need any help.
Way to ruin a joke with facts there.
If they would have declared that they really wanted to interfere with the ingauguration, they would have had some sympathizers.
But as they just wanted to use those cameras for spamming & ramsomware - to Gitmo with them. Daily waterboarding please.

So torture for the sake of torture then?
They hacked the cameras to show that the number of people in the crowd was much less than the great number who actually attended!
Access to the outside of the box. Tamper seals remain unbroken.
And how did you get in physical proximity to the system?

You can turn it back on with a registry key.
So what does it take to turn it on?
Or in other words, can a bad actor sneakily turn it back on for you?
No, he meant 24/7, didn't you get the memo? Porn is now only available on "porn day", July 24th to improve productivity and decrease incidence of RSI
Which is why he *didn't* get it as you expressed the date in non-USAian* terms.
