Laptops had PCMCIA ports back in the 2000's. You could get a GPRS/3G/4G card with a SIM Card slot back then. Pop in a SIM card and you were "always connected" because Linux or WIndows treated it as just another network connection.
If you look at some of the papers on GPU architecture research, they are eliminating the out-of-order and speculation execution of instructions as well. They were doing so since 2011.
In Norway, they have special systems that use a small 12V electric current running through underground wires in order to heat pavements slightly. That's enough to make the snow melt. With solar panels, a similar system could be used to make sure the snow doesn't block out the light.
Not me. SystemD wasn't around at the time on Fedora. I still have the OS partition/drive, as at the same time, the DVD/CD drive stopped working, so I couldn't upgrade.
Look at the string "dlink". I had a laptop (Sony Viao) that would spontaneously connect to a DLink router somewhere elsewhere in our neighborhood. By spontaneously connect, I mean wi-fi was disabled by the Linux GUI options, only to see the laptop connect spontaneously to a DLink router. Because the case of the laptop was used as the wi-fi antennae, it had 100 meters range.
I remember buying a very early laptop which had BIOS password protection. One time I forgot the password, called the store asking how I can reset it. "Oh, you'll have to bring it into the store for our technicians to work on in our workshop. It has to be done there, as we can't let you see the recovery process." So I removed each back panel, found the password reset DIM switch, and reset the password.
I remember there was a trade show where they had these little Java key-fobs that were battery/solar powered, had wi-fi connectivity, could receive commands to do computations and send the results out. Imagine doing something like that with bitcoin mining.
I read that they had tubes that allowed fragments of DNA/RNA to be shared between each other. They also have signalling systems to tell everyone to go easy on the food when it is in short supply. They form biofilms as a defense mechanism. Under environmental stress, they actually accelerate mutations by doubling expression of genes.
That's why human vision works on segmentation, breaking down the scene into a collage of cut-out shapes of different textures, then using stereoscopic depth perception to figure out where they are relative to each other and with occlusion, then using image classification to figure out what each object is. The downside is that you can camouflage anything simply by blurring the edges or by using razzle-dazzle techiques used in World War II.
It was explained two decades ago; governments aren't allowed to collect and hold data on people due to fears of Big Brother - it would be political suicide for any party to try and implement any national databases in this way.
However, if the private sector does this under the guise of advertising analytics, they can then offer supply contracts to the government to provide the exact same information with the added benefit of subsidizing the collection of this data through commercial services.
There are petri dish experiments where you can take strains of bacteria which cannot digest particular sugars, place them in a large petri dish tray with nutrients and an "undigestable sugar", then watch as the mutations gradually build up until they are capable of digesting that particular sugar.
""Ruselectronics also said that the chip contains features that “guarantees its users a high level of information security,” although it’s not immediately obvious what these are.""
They did do bounds tests. That generates exceptions, but a thread or process can catch those exceptions and ignore them, Because the CPU is pipelined, and different instruction sub-tasks take different amounts of time, it's more efficient to assume reads will be successful and to start those sub-tasks that take the longest time first. A memory fetch from off-CPU memory chips takes way longer than a bounds check. So it's better off sending out the request to load that memory location into cache on the chance that it will be a valid address, then do the bounds test to generate an exception, then roll back the speculative state if an error occurs. But the state of the cache wasn't rolled back. So some data values were evicted to make way for the new data. Those could be read back.
It's the usual strategy when a right-wing government comes into power. The mantra is "the private sector can do things more efficiently and cheaply that the public sector". So all those departments are required to reduced people count. They then rehire their staff as private sector consultants and contractors to do the same work as before, then claim more jobs have been created while reducing the size of the public sector.
Norway is diversifying away from oil production and into renewable energies like offshore wind farms and hydroelectric power generation. The same technologies used to make oil rigs and power lines resistant to salt water corrosion can be used for offshore wind farms as well. With a population around 5 million and twice the land area of the UK, they can make fast economic changes. Plus they invested the revenue from the oil industry into a trust fund for the country.
... while it was a great method for user input and getting players to move around rather than remain sitting, advertisers were starting to use to the device to collect marketing data about users:
"Xbox One can essentially work like TV that watches you, bringing marketers a huge new trove of data,"
And this comment. Someone could feel the storm coming.
KAISER: hiding the kernel from user space
Posted Nov 16, 2017 7:21 UTC (Thu) by alkbyby (subscriber, #61687) [Link] Looks like something bad is coming. Such as mega-hole maybe in hardware that can be mitigated by hiding kernel addresses.
Otherwise I cannot see why simply hiding kernel addresses better, suddenly becomes important enough to spend massive amount of cpu on it.
- This isn't the first time. There was a problem a decade ago with Intel CPU's, when separate process threads could access each others data through cache memory.
"The case is clear: an economically challenged government, perniciously influenced by the interests of the housing lobby, blew it. The entire Irish episode will be studied internationally in years to come as an example of how not to do things."

It was a Sony Vaio PCG from 2002, long thrown out now.

I tried installing modern Linux on an old laptop with a Pentium IV. It just did not run, not even getting past the boot loading.

Whatever you do, it doesn't involve squeezing the display and squishing them dead...

I guess they will have to add journaling to the CPU cache levels.
