This is the boat I'm in with Adobe CS. I won't be upgrading past CS3 ever because that's what I own and I'm not a professional, I just happen to really enjoy making "high end" home movies and such.
While this may be true, I have not upgraded any of my adobe creative suite tools past the last perpetual licensed version I own. Ever since then I've been learning the open source replacements for everything I do. Not as easy, or as integrated, but I refuse to be hostage to a sub that prevents me from accessing prior work without current payment. If they had a "reader" version of all their tools that allowed the basic functionality then *maybe* but as it is now? No.
mate... That was an interesting take. I think you have a lot of assumptions about the velocity that all this will happen at, even in the overall trajectory is accurate. And there is one special breed of lawyer that won't die: attack dogs (Divorce and personal injury). Since those lawsuits are emotionally driven more than anything else, I expect those lawyers to last a good long time.
I don't particularly see this as bad engineering even. The thing ships disabled by default and with a default local only pwd to enable it OR lock out other access. It can be disabled in the BIOS (and then the BIOS pwd activated) as well. The config guide even says setting the password is a non optional step in any multi user/multi access environment, or you can get a sku where it's not even available.
no different than leaving the BIOS unlocked. I could boot a USB device that installs a rogue bootloader on the HDD.
Intel's fscked up plenty lately, this is just flamebait, and it's not even needed... focus on the real issues: AMT remote exec vuln, local buffer overflow in ME kernel (well shit), and of course Meltdown and Spectre.
Well, I'm no shill (and am no longer on Intel's payroll) but am a fanboi.
That said, the position you and Intel are in is commonly referred to by its acronym: F.U.B.A.R.
There is no realistic recourse for Intel to offer that would satisfy the majority of the install base.
Full replacement at cost is likely to leave a lot of people very angry, and devastate Intel's Fiscal Year, but it is likely the best possible outcome.
Trying to make Intel replace everything affected for free (like with the FDIV bug) is a non starter. Intel can't likely even fab the old chips any more, and even if they could it would still require a redesign, so it's a non-starter. Giving everyone new chips would not be like for like, so you have issues where old software won't run, but is still required, also a non-starter. Additionally, both those options would likely bankrupt the company entirely, meaning people *still* wouldn't get replacements, and you'd have 100K freshly unemployed.
The most likely outcome I see is a rebate/coupon towards the purchase of any system containing a new Intel CPU from any vendor where the dollar value of the rebate is tied to the age/sku of the old CPU, with no or soft requirements to return the old CPU.
What would you (as a consumer) expect?
I likely won't get squat, since all my CPUs are samples that employees were given at various times, or bought via employee purchase channels.
*this* If you have any indication that you may be a person of interest, either by activity or location, then you should *not* be using biometric locking on your phone at all. Panic lock is for when you don't expect that you are of interest, but suddenly find you may be. Note that once you're detained SOP for police would preclude you from being able to lock your phone, and in fact attempting to do so could get you shot. (reaching into your pocket == going for a gun).
I am a massive Android fanboi, and can't particularly stand Apple's UI or walled garden... That said, if I needed a phone for questionable stuff an apple burner looks to be the ideal choice all things considered.
Yeah sounds like you have first gen ones. Those were crap, because even if you went to a *real* printer the output was noticeably degraded. That said the final gen wasn't all that much better...
Slashdot Mirror
Belkin routers are total shit, no other word for it. In fact... I'm not entirely sure if they make anything good.
I'm thinking the same thing and the owner is just saying so to try and CYA.
wow, you're more pissed than I am!
What's the other company? I'm dying to know??
op-amp with a nice feedback circuit then?
lulz. yes your interpretation is more complete, but at heart the op-amp is the active element.
damn, I already posted in this thread or you'd have mod points!
That's a spooky interesting article!
specifically, they appear to have invented an operational amplifier...
LM741's are what... $0.50 each?
I agree, and TFS mentions that kids vaping with nicotine based product is the issue.
Which, of course, seems like a *duh* kinda thing.
I got popcorn (and a Roku) a while ago :)

Black market econ. :)
Already have plans in that direction

How is this even a flaw?
It's a case of default state + physical access == ownership.
This is nothing new at all.
I hope no one comes demanding you to decrypt that... you might be a guest of the system for a good long time.
you assumed murder, but simply speeding on the motorway is a criminal act that your phone (if GPS is on) certainly can tattle on you for.
hence why I think the situation matches FUBAR.
I don't think there is a good way out of this.

they're using the all writs act. Total abuse of power, yes, but...
I'm in!
