Exactly. Certificate expiry is a CA billing mechanism to make sure you pay your dues every year. Claiming that a certificate that's fully secure at 11:59:59 is totally insecure at 12:00:01 just because the clock ticked is nonsense.
Yup. The headline should read "GlobalSign Wants to Sell Billions of Certificates Blah Blah IoT". When it comes to the IoS, lack of certificates isn't even on the radar in terms of its problems.
It's not just too many cores, it's too much everything. They've taken a crappy, underpowered chip that was trimmed to the bone to try and make something that competes with Arm, and are hacking on extras to make it sound more like a Xeon. In which case why not just use any non-Atom CPU, not necessarily a Xeon but just something that isn't as bare-bones as the Atom, and use that. Or an AMD G-series APU.
Or could this be Intel's trick, that they've taken a Core 2 Mobile CPU, scraped off the Penryn label, reprinted it as Atom++, and are shipping those?
A bit flip in the electronic voting machine added 4,096 extra votes to one candidate. The issue was noticed only because the machine gave the candidate more votes than were possible.
How could they tell this apart from standard operations on a Diebold machine?
Did the lack of this feature affect your buying decision?
Not at all. I was pointing out that the lack of a feature that I, and I'd guess about 99% of the rest of the market, never uses anyway isn't a big deal. As others have pointed out, this seems more like a means of appeasing the broadcaster lobby than something anyone really cares about.
What this issue is about are those who have the tuner hardware that is crippled or disabled by the vendor.
I haven't listened to radio in at least ten years (who needs to when there's streaming and MP3s), but I object to having the FM radio in my phone crippled like this. It should be my choice to ignore the radio, not the phone vendors.
That isn't going to help. PGP's had a quarter of a century to get going, if it was going to work it would have worked by now. What we have now, that does work and that anyone can use, is stuff like WhatsApp and Signal. They won, everything else lost. If you're playing a game you can't win, you change the rules, which is what things like WhatsApp have done.
More importantly, has anyone done a teardown on one of these to try and figure out how you can possibly make a product (other than doing it on purpose) that's this sensitive to WiFi? How on earth did they manage this?
Naah, someone spread a rumour that there was a Dunkin Donuts in the next beach over and they all waddled over there while whining that their boyfriends didn't pay them enough attention.
Can you collect enough light by purely optical means to transmit it over fibre optic cable to a remote sensor? As you might be able to tell from my reply, I do nuclear physics, not optics, so I'm not sure if you can do that. You can get borescopes and the like, but they usually have a very limited length, and the image isn't so good.
It would help users identify what it is they're getting if everyone referred to it as IoS, not IoT. Remember folks, the abbreviation for "Internet of Things" is IoS, not IoT.
Displacement damage isn't a problem in this case, it accumulates over years. The primary concern there is radiation embrittlement of pressure vessels, standard 316 stainless contains nickel which captures neutrons and forms an unstable isotope of nickel with an even larger capture cross-section, which decays into iron and (eventually) helium. So you end up with voids created as displacement damage from the neutrons that fill up with helium, which is not a good thing in a reactor vessel. Still, that takes years of continuous exposure to high neutron flux, not hours or minutes.
The issue here is that zoo of other particles that the neutrons create as they pass through matter: prompt fission gammas, capture gammas, decay gammas, inelastic scattering gammas, bremsstrahlung, and so on and so on, as well as alphas and betas due to neutron activation. Conventional rad-hard devices aren't going to help you much there.
+1. What aircraft are exposed to are mostly gammas and a few heavy ions, not neutrons (alongside massive amounts of gammas as well). There's nothing close to neutrons in terms of causing damage, they'll penetrate almost anything and then activate it so you get the whole mix, alphas, betas, and gammas inside the sensitive devices that you're trying to protect. You can make electronics that's somewhat resistant to radiation, but it can't do much against neutrons. In any case all the rad-hard stuff is designed for space/military use, and that's gammas, not neutrons (and accompanying alpha, beta, and gamma).
There really isn't any easy way to do this. One approach I guess would be to have all the control electronics a long way from the robot and only basic actuators and sensors on the robot itself. However, video is still control electronics...
Hey Microsoft, here's an idea: How about a Project Make It Look Like Windows Again, as opposed to your ongoing series of Project Graphics Arts Students Final Assignment that you've been doing since Windows 7?
Are you sure about that? You can definitely pin certificates in iOS. The trustkit library provides an implementation, for example.

They should use something like DANE to prevent man the middle
We've already spent thirty years waiting for PKI to start working, why should we now wait another thirty for DNSSEC and DANE to magically solve all our problems?

I didn't expect it to last. It was, after all, a beta meta.
So what we need is something better, to beat the beta meta. In other words a better beta meta beater.
Dear scientists,
Once you've taught bees how to play soccer and fish how to ride a bicycle, could you teach my cat how to use the litter box?
Thanks.

I also hear. "you are not local". -_-
Quite right, too. This is a local job, for local people! There's nothing for you here!

Prior art for that one: Mossad, with decades of priority.
I wonder how much it would cost to replace the parts damaged by radiation, instead of getting a whole new robot?
If you want to sit there with a screwdriver and disassemble something that's taken an absorbed dose of 500-1000 Sv, be my guest.

They're planning to test it on the womp-rats first, no-one will miss those much.
Especially if you're in a T-16.

The deprecation of 1024-bit RSA is why, for example, web browser publishers haven't added support for DANE.
Trust me, that's about the least of the reasons why browsers are ignoring DANE.
