Wrong in every way... You really don't know anything about USB and yet you're modded to +5... wtf slashdot.
Using sense resistors in cables or charger plugs is pretty much universal and works very well. That's how phones tell the difference with between a "standard" 500mA USB port and a 2A high power charger. If the phone tried to draw 2A off a 500mA supply, odds are all the magic blue smoke would get out...
Or not. USB spec requires a poly fuse. No blue smoke for anything that matches the spec. Try again.
Also in this case the value of the resister is unimportant because it only signals that the cable supports a higher capacity, it doesn't signify or control WHAT that is. If the resister exist, the device knows it can draw more power without blowing the poly fuse. The resister is not in series with the power supply and thus has no actual effect on voltage or current capacity.
There's nothing wrong with sense resistors when the cables are manufactured properly.
Yes there is. They are a hack. Used properly, this is no problem, but its not the way to start your process, especially when you're using an entirely new physical connector that doesn't need to have this silly resister (which doesn't work like you think it does) to specify power level support.
Its acceptable to do something like this on USB 1/2 where you were adding a new feature to an existing connector that didn't have extensibility built in.
IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE to do something stupid like this when you design a new physical connector for 1/2 knowing full well that the resistor is a shitty hack.
The problem is if the manufacturer puts the wrong resistors in because they don't know any better or because they're cheap and they're trying to cheat with cheaper components. In the case of USB 2 stuff, pulling 2A from a 500mA brick probably wouldn't end too well.
The resistor only needs to be accurate if you do something retarded like use it in series to control current flow, in which case you're also retarded because the net effect is that the more current you draw the lower the voltage, which would also be fucking retarded.:)
If you just use it across the data pins (as it is used) it doesn't control power level, it gives a way to signal something, in the case of USB, it gives you a way to signal that you support 2a output from the USB power. The range of accuracy required here is... ridiculously unimportant. As long as its a few k-ohms or more, its going to be fine. So anyone who throws a megaohm or more resistor in there has basically 0 chance of fucking it up, and again, the only problem that should result from it is... the USB port disables itself when the poly fuse blows and resets itself when you unplug it
Unless your USB ports are complete shit, the only thing a bad resister should do is... nothing. A 500ma USB port has no resistor, and in no case is the phone going to try to use 2 amps (assuming the phone isn't broken)... if it does... it'll blow the poly fuse built into the port (A usb device is using too much power and has been disabled, or whatever windows/osx tell you). If it has ANY resistor then the phone can switch up to higher power charging safely again, assuming the USB port itself is actually built right.
In the case of USB 2 stuff, pulling 2A from a 500mA brick probably wouldn't end too well. For USB-C, if you try to pull 3A+ over a wire that's only rated for 500mAh... Well... Most likely what you've got there is a 3 meter long fuse...
NOW we're getting to the problem... and the problem is simply that you're buying shitty cables. The resistor in no way fixes this problem because... you're buying shitty cables in the first place, you can't expect them to b
I don't fly very often, and as such I don't think about things like the fact that I carry a pocket knife... all the time... including every time I go through the airport security circus... including those retarded back scatter machines that apparently suck so much they can't detect a pocket knife with a 2 inch blade. 2 inches is pretty short (ask your wife) but certainly something they should have detected.
The TSA and airport security is a joke.
Planes haven't been used effectively as a weapon again because as you say, we'll fucking kill anyone that tries even at the cost of our own lives because the alternative may be not only does the plane crash, but so do 5000 other people not on the plane...
And also... their really aren't that many nut jobs out there that are truly willing to kill themselves. I'd bet you a good chunk of change that only the pilots during 9/11 even knew it was a suicide mission if we really knew what was going on.
Hate to break it to you, but I'd say those demonstrations failed and the support was a bunch of spoiled brats to lazy to get off their ass and work who camped out with north face jackets and tents while they proceeded to basically show how they had no business being treated like anything other than the 5 year olds they were acting like.
They aren't trying to influence politicians. Politicians don't actually spend very much time anywhere NEAR DC if they can avoid it. Congress critters get in and leave ASAP, better be at home on the ranch.
These broadcasts are trying to influence the general public... into not thinking China is a bunch of douche bags.
This sort of propaganda is notoriously effective, especially when it tells people something they want to hear.
You are not allowed to say anything you want whenever you want. Stop quoting the constitution like you've actually read it let alone like you understand it. At no point has that ever been the case. Ever.
Public speech IS controlled. And here, it's not prevention of said speech it's just registration... You know... Like so many other freedoms we have require some documents because some whacko does something to ruin it for the rest of us
The KKK is by definition a terrorist organization. The intentional try to instill fear in people for their own personal agenda.
Which... Ironically... Is EXACTLY WHAT ANONYMOUS DOES. They just don't have the balls to do anything other than hide in moms basement and run scripts someone else wrote while they hide. The Internet is the silly named groups white hoods, they are just too stupid to realize how idiotic they make themselves look
The situation you described is an example of "Linux Admins"... I.E random people who installed calling themselves admins and then your dumbass hired the clueless wastes.
Systemd does nothing to solve that problem in any way and you haven't provided a reason why it would.
You seem to be arguing that if YOU do everything then you don't have problems with other admins.
This a problem with you and your inability to manage or work with a team. In short, your just a clueless shitty admin that thinks this half assed method to obscure the system to the point that no one else wants to touch it is a good thing.
You're an idiot who doesn't understand what you're doing, there's no possible way you could understand why systemd is shit
. It is more efficient, it is harder (or impossible?) to abuse
Are you fucking retarded? Do you know absolutely nothing at all about how handout social programs already work? Do you really not understand that history has shown repeatedly that this sort of concept while sounds awesome, fails because... lazy people are still leeches on the system.
There are still thousands of people that have criminal records associated with them as a direct result of bullshit this person lied about.
Even if you get that 'removed' from their record, its still there, it doesn't actually go away and it will follow them for the rest of their lives. Legalizing drugs doesn't help them in any way shape or form.
When the evidence is tainted, the case gets thrown out.
Thats how we ensure the innocent are not put in jail, and we do so at the cost of letting some criminals free when we would have preferred not to.
But then we consider every person involved in those cases as having failed, specifically the prosecution. And we turn the arrest into a bad arrest and count that against the police.
When this shit happens, you punish the ever living shit out of everyone involved in the chain that fucked up because they put innocent people behind bars and ruined other peoples lives in their overzealousness to get a collar and conviction.
Make false convictions essentially a career ender for everyone in the chain and watch how quick things shape up. Make the population so pissed off at any lawyer or cop who allows this shit to happen that they are afraid of being lynched when they fuck up in the future.
They have no reason to fear mistakes they make, someone else suffers, it has no bearing on their life. Change that and you'll fix the problem.
As well it should. If people wanted to live in areas with no cars and where everything was within walking distance... they'd have moved to the inner city where that exists.
Why is it that people feel the need to change something that other people are perfectly happy with? If people don't like living in the suburbs... they'll move.
The basic example argument here is that having a choice of 150 pension plans and not choosing any is bad?
Except... when the company providing those plans fails and takes all your money with it... in which case, picking any plan BUT none, is a bad idea.
Your pension plan example is a prime one for me to pick apart because of the shear number of companies that fail leaving their customers screwed out of large sums of money.
Choice paralysis is not because there are too many choices, its because people don't give a shit. Too many choices just exaggerates the problem, but it doesn't create it.
Current generations are spoiled brats who expect someone else to make all the choices for them. They are exactly the drones that the governments want to control, unquestioning morons who follow whatever advice their elders give them, or someone else decides.
But hey, go ahead and pick some other bullshit reason for it happening instead of focusing on the actual problem: We're raising a bunch of kids who can't be bothered to take care of their own responsibilities.
Lets get a couple things straight. My family has 3 PhDs in it. They're all fucking morons. All it takes to get a PhD is a sponsor, a few years of wasted life and money. The INSTANT you start telling people you're a PhD to give yourself credibility, you lose ALL credibility with anyone who has a clue. If you had a clue, you wouldn't need to ensure us that you have one.
Second, You're post is a rambling bunch of bullshit you made up. It is actually less plausible than magical fairies holding the galaxies together, thats how ridiculous your post is.
I can invent math and formulas that make things work all day long by throwing in 'unknown/untestable' data points. THAT IS NOT SCIENCE, ITS FANTASY.
You don't get to make imaginary shit up to fill in the places you're ignorant off. Science doesn't work that way.
Science is based on testable processes. If its not an objective, testable process, its not science, period. Science has no debates, only proofs. Debates are for people who want to pretend they understand science but in reality just want to push whatever agenda they have. In science you have disagreements and discussions about how you're going to test the disagreement, but you don't debate. Debates are for emotional subjective topics. The exact opposite of science.
And you're imaginary time delay mechanism that apparently auto-resolves a bunch of self created inconsistencies that you didn't even bother to think of... Well, go back to your PhD sponsor and talk to them, just don't spew your bullshit into the world, some people won't know any better and will believe your bullshit.
Consider modern hashing. If I know the correct input, I get the correct output. If I am off by one bit, but do not know which bit, and the input is 128bits, I have a 1/128 chance of getting the correct output.
No. You don't.
In any given modern hashing algorithm, any single bit error in any part of the process before the very last round should result in an change of at least half the bits in the output.
Change one input bit on a 128bit output, you'll get 64 output bits changing. If you don't, the hashing method isn't even worth beginning to discuss using it for something other than silly discussions.
Your simple mistake here is exactly science at this level is truly a joke. One simple bit error completely changes the outcome of the hash, and due to the extrapolation levels in astrophysics, the same thing is probably and happens there occasionally as well.
Yea, its MS's fault that some other application is broken... sudo isn't part of SSH or Windows, they're using some other app to get sudo like functionality and that app is broken, or there is a terminal emulation issue. Probably doesn't have much at all to do with openssh
... yea, and it'll play over their head phones... so no one will hear it...
Next time read the summary, not the headline. Works with headphones pulled in by stimulating the microphone on the earbuds with RF.
No ear buds, no worky. With ear buds plugged in, no one will hear its response... effectively no work.
Of course the required RF is going to cause other issues besides Now/Siri acting up, but go ahead continue to be ignorant and too stupid to realize this is nothing more than another sensationalist Slashdot headline.
If they can maintain an international watch list that's got more names on it than members in the government, mp or janitor... Them I'm fairly certain they could do exception list
Politics are 100% emotion, just like the stock market and the economy.
These things could be based on sound deterministic things, but they will never be because they all depend on human interaction. You simply can not predict human behavior. Ever. You can make plenty of reasonable accurate generalizations, but there will always be enough people in that generalization who break it horribly and destroy any plans you made based on that generalization.
A number of these "security researchers" are either government sanctioned actors
Which have better things to do than mess with 'security researchers'. Those guys are figuring out how to screw over big fish politically. Brian Krebs is the anti-definition of big fish.
criminals in their own right.
Which get buy with a lot of things because there is no physical connection to them. Actually doing something to someone physically results in a trail thats much easier to trace than the Internet.
The reasons these guys don't do things is because 99.9999% of them are cowards hiding behind computer courage.
For the true organized crime that MAY actually have the balls to 'punish' someone like Krebs... WHY? How much damage has he ACTUALLY done to any organized crime (like the Mob, not your dads rinky dink CC Skimming operation) . . . Exactly dick, thats how much he's done.
The only people that care are small fish like this douche who really can't do anything impressive. The ones that can do something aren't going to because that would be stupid. Why blow you're very effective cover and risk getting caught when you can just move on to one of your other operations and start a new one in the place of the one that just got busted?

... the protocol is intended to ... move data ... and it can't say 'hey, I'm version 3 and I support these power requirements/constraints/features' ...
If thats the case, then yea, I'm WAY fucking smarter than the engineers that designed it.
USB requires power, so putting a chip in the cable is simple, and the level of complexity we're talking here is trivial as well
Oh and one more thing ... ITS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PHYSICALLY THAN PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF USB SO BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY IS IN NO WAY A CONSIDERATION.
Yes, apparently I'm smarter than the USB-C engineers, and you aren't smart enough to recognize shitty engineering.
