It's all speculation till the short term confidentiality comes off for the post ruling chips like the BCM4366 gear that's shipping later this month.
DRM is very hard to do on tiny microcontroller, it's always hard to do well. So this very much depends on how Broadcom and the likes implements the FCC requirement since they will be the ones most probably picking the path with the least amount of additional silicon/effort to meet that fcc requirement.
What will mostly matter is how the SoC manufactures deal with it. If they put checking at the bootloaded only that's what companies will be forced to do. If the radio can only used signed firmware blobs then that's what they will do. At the end of the day netgear etc are not making chips they are buying them from broadcom etc and will have to use what security is available on those soc's to comply with the fcc.
On a laptop I'll take the SSD if only for power savings.
Through will say I run several linux desktops and performance is night and day between SSD's and spinning rust once you're using more than some ssh sessions and text editors. Reboot times realy dont factor in my windows laptops simply wake up do their updates and go back to sleep in the wee hours of the night. Outside of that none of them reboot outside of OS installs.
What does it matter? Even though it's price comparable they wont shove a small SSD into low end laptops. Step 1 of laptop buying right now is swap in a SSD then do a fresh OS install.
Sure because you have a usecase where sendinging the same commands to n number of servers is the best method? Is this what sysadmins without puppet/chef/etc etc are forced to use. Are you tail tail -f log files as well?
Problem is it is a flat fee for a defined amount resource in the case of cable. They sold with an oversubscription rate in mind and are now trying to back out of that when they see it's not static. Internet usage grows but at the end of the day they sold me a 75mbs connection they should have to deliver on that. Mind you I can get sub 50c a mbs IP transit all over the place so I'm not realy getting more than I paid for.
They want their price gouging rates back, like phone service a low low price of 33 a month, I pay 85c for a did and a cent a minute for termination. Cable plans with well ya want HBO you have to buy all these others. They are a utility, sure make a buck but their current rate of return is enormous yet they still complain it costs to much to deliver.
Cable card was always doomed to failure, it was designed to fail.
You had to get the cable card from your provider, it took me 5 install attempts from comcast the first 4 they showed up with a DVR in the end I pulled a cable card from one of their cisco STB and got them to make it work in my tivo and then HD homerun. It should be no different than cable modems, get anything on their supported list. Now to keep things moderately secure probably need to keep the we load our firmware here bits isolated and otherwise jailed as to the users local network.
Copy once, WTF did we forget that whole time format shifting from the 80's? We need to be able to get DRM free copies of whatever we legally have access to. I rather liked the digital VHS firewire bits that got caned. In any event because it's higher quality etc etc etc does not make it magically something different. I have no problems with invisible watermarking. They can fight the fight to keep the watermarking from being stripped but that gives people back the same functional rights they had int he 80's.
Once you have the DRM gone the whole certified platform BS goes away. XBMC and similar can do what they like.
Really though I think it will take a lot more to get cord cutters back, they railed against it for too long. I'm not going to go backwards, I want more integration, netflix, google, amazon, hulu etc playing from within plex and the like. I want local copies of content, that shifts formats etc as needed (a phone may have a 4 screen but 4k video is wasted on it)
10gb a day is nothing. If this was to fix congest it would be so much during congestion period but all you can eat at 4am. This is a grab for more money plain and simple.
Planning and zoning get some. Idiots keep on trying to build walkable cities but do not understand that means everybody is living right next to commercial space.
I live in a nice suburban town nearly all the industry is on the other side of a hill we can not hear anything short of an explosion . It's realy not that hard residential next to light commercial and industrial/heavy commercial past that with the highway past them. High open space vs building zoning means we have buffers not lots that amount to parking and building with little else. So we end up with neighborhoods surrounded by school, churches, deli's barber shops etc on the main road larger business on the other side and industry behind them.
The means of communication has nothing to do with it. This is coddling people who have not yet grown up as far as their social interactions. Sure that's pretty common as hardcore programmers go.
This is not adult behavior, this is childish behavior. They are attempting to coddle, marginalize, dictate speech, etc etc in an effort to control intent Adults can say that's stupid or you're a moron as part of normal healthy discourse it's intent that matters. Healthy razzing friendly banter etc etc is part of normal adult communication.
Lots of things cost a city money. This is the eco freaks getting played by money interests to make arbitrary changes for eco friendliness that benefits those same interests. The whole fallacy of reducing parking requirements to promote eco friendliness. That is just a dodge to make a new development more profitable by negating the need to put in that parking and freeing up that space for more units etc. Frankly any new city building should have parking from a 3 br brownstone that should have 4 parking spaces to a 200 unit apartment block that needs 500 or more. Mind you it should all probably be underground.
It's more apt to say that they tend to destroy or assimilate the inferior.
It's a rather hard moral dilemma whether or not to interact with technically inferior civilizations, often you can help them in many ways but the mere exposure tends to start the assimilation process.
To show that the government is unwilling to play fairly. The Rootkit should have gotten executives jailed and massive fines. Instead it was a fairly minor lawsuit and move on with business.
Owners should not be fixing their cars rather it should be VW and not just some firmware flash but a hardware upgrade to keep its performance and mileage the same or pay for the mileage difference. That sounds like replacing the CAT and adding urea (and paying for that in perpetuity) to the system but regardless of how they do it they need to do it and maintain it.
How long do you think those transmitters will be around? They are all valid military targets to begin with doublely so if the detection system is using them.
They are fixed well known locations gone in the opening salvo's. Any new sources will be on the receiving end of AMG-88 and similar in short order.
Follow the money, tearing down lanes is a lot of local money, ripping out parking means a developer can put up more units etc. Like usual the eco stupids are getting used to make people rich via new eco conscious laws.

These devices are not generally in some server room with limited physical access.
The M&M security model sucks, sure it can mitigate things till patches can get applied but it's not a long term solution.
As little user PW's as possible is the way to go. There is 0 reason for local logins, oauth, saml, shibboleth, cas, etc etc etc.
The tech is definitely there, on the other hand every year they stretch out the existing plant is more profits.

Were fairly far along on decoupling access with content. The ship has sailed they just don't get it yet.

Lets think, bid out the replacement?
Oh people are eager to deal with it, entire reactor designs are meant to use that waste as their fuel source.
If you have the tech to do a monthly usage based you can do any arbitrary time base.

On my 3rd nexus device now and BT tethering works just fine.
