It hasn't declined, it's become mature. You don't need a new PC every few years any more because there's nothing new being added any more. You also don't need a new tablet any more because there's nothing new being added. The only thing you need to keep refreshing is your phone, but even then once you're on 4G there's not much to be gained by getting a newer one. The only thing that would sell more phones is if battery life got better, but no-one's doing that.
Even if the CPU is one of the vulnerable ones, a lot of embedded devices/mobile/whatever are fixed-function and so will never be vulnerable to an actual attack because the attacker can't get their software running on the device. I've got a pile of vulnerable hardware here that isn't going to get patched both because the vendors probably won't bother but also because there's no need to patch, they only do one thing and running third-party software isn't it.
That one was fine, it was the Moscow trip that was the real pain, after four years I ended up back in Berlin without every reaching Moscow. I think I'll ask for my money back on that one.
Also, the premise behind the article is bollocks. "Man dies in freak accident, everyone else should change their behaviour in case they also encounter this one-in-a-billion condition" would be a better title. There'll be vastly more people killed by germs spread by sneezes than will ever die by whatever the BMJ's 404 was talking about.
Your thinking is exactly what produced this system. Physical switches are so 1968! We can trigger the alert through a menu, and since we need a shortcut we'll use Ctrl+D so it will be easy.
Ctrl-D? For what, Dumbass? It has to be mnemonic, M is for Missile, so make the missle-alert hotkey Ctrl-M. As soon as anyone hits Ctrl-M on the keyboard, a nuke warning goes out. That'll make it practically immune to errors.
That's nothing compared to the weird routing I got from the German rail site when I wanted to go from Berlin to London. The route went straight into Belgium, pivoted down into France via some tiny little port I'd never heard of, Dunk-erg or something, and then headed for Paris. Never did make it to London on that trip.
Mind you that's nothing compared to the tortuous route I got when I wanted to go from Berlin to Moscow..
They're not necessarily looking at metadata, you can discern quite a lot about encrypted traffic without ever seeing the plaintext. In the last few years researchers have recovered things like pages visited, income details (from online tax filing), language spoken (VoIP), speech patterns, videos watched, and other data, all without having to break the crypto. It looks like Cisco have just applied that research. It's a nice piece of applied research, but no magic is involved.
It's OK, that's what we'll have Always Connected(tm) laptops for, they'll have a connection even when your phone doesn't, so you can just use your Always Connected(tm) laptop as a hotspot for your phone.
What's not mentioned in the writeup is how totally dysfunctional the market is when it comes to these security vulns. If this had been anything else, e.g. a safety issue in some consumer product, then there'd be a major recall, fines, media coverage, you name it. In this case, with a serious security vuln, the vendor basically ignored it, and nothing happened.
And that's why the IoS is in the state it is. You can't make a product so unsafe/insecure that people won't keep buying it.
Slashdot Mirror
Whoosh :-).
Given all the problems listed in the article, you really have to wonder how Germany won the war.
Beat me to it. They don't want it to compete with the opioids they're selling by the million, it's bad for business.

How about methane from soy? I have a foolproof, easily scalable way to produce that. Or legumes in general.
Whoosh.
the tower has managed to produce more than 10 million cubic meters (353 million cubic feet) of clean air a day since its launch
They also forgot to mention that it's coal-fired.

Realizing the importance of the case, my men are rounding up twice the usual number of biometrics.

Probably not. They're not commercial metal drones but homebuilt wood and cloth by the looks of it, not much radar signature.

a 192-bit security suite, aligned with the Commercial National Security Algorithm (CNSA) Suite from the Committee on National Security Systems
which decrypts to:
a security suite created by a front for the NSA
I think I'll stay with KRACK-patched WPA2, thanks.
That was calculated in inflation-adjusted Zimbabwe dollars.
Well, it depends. If the patch that's killing AMD systems was prepared with input from Intel then maybe it's working exactly as Intel intended.
No idea, but it's definitely vulnerable to Spectre and Meltdown.
It's more like "the Pi uses such a gutless CPU that there's no chance it'll be vulnerable to anything affecting high-performance CPUs".
Next up: Woz issues a press release explaining why the Apple II isn't vulnerable.
I've been running some benchmarks and found the slowdown to be exactly 10/(1/3) = 29.999997436568%.
--herpasyphilaids would also work.

It won't be that quick, Steamboat Willie still has a few years in copyright so there's no direct pressure to get the government to extend for awhile.
