You need to work on your reading comprehension, because "at that very moment,,b>at the same time as it is plugged in", while redundant, makes perfect sense.
The real concern here is that the password is stored in plaintext, or in such a way that it can be reversed to plaintext, in the first place. Sure, they've patched this particular means of accessing that plaintext, but you can still super-cool the RAM (on machines where the RAM is still removable) and transfer it to another machine for analysis, read the plaintext (or reversibly encrypted value) from wherever it is ultimately stored, and, I'm sure, a number of other exploits, some of which may be as covert as this exploit.
There have been successful exploits wherein RAM was read based on fluctuations in mains power measured from another room. Yes, the RAM had to be read several times by the host machine in order for the attacking machine to successfully discern the values, but that just means several reboots, rather than one.
The term "while" as several meanings. One of them (noun) indicates the passage of time, e.g. "it's been a while" or "this is going to take a while", another (conjunction) is synonymous with "whereas", while yet another (conjunction) is "at the same time as". There are three more definitions for that word, one noun, one adverb, and one verb; I'll leave it to you to locate a dictionary and learn them.
Huh, you might want to try that again. It may have worked in the past, but Comcast currently passes no traffic out of the xfinitywifi jail, which you must sign in to get out of.
Whose Comcast account login are you using to validate your session? If your answer is "nobody's", I hate to break it to you but you're using someone's honeypot and all of your internet activities while connected to that router are compromised; a real xfinitywifi AP will only serve you the gateway login page until you sign in.
How does the hosts file protect you before the threat has been discovered and its host and C&C domains have been added to the hosts file? There will always be a patient zero; and this encrypts regardless of whether it can talk to the C&C server, so you're double screwed if it can't phone home.
Host files only work if you're the original victim; if your friend gets infected, opts to go the "free" route, and sends you the binary directly (because you tell him the site won't load for you) you're still stuck. Even worse, you might be more screwed if the ransomware no cannot call home to verify payment after you do pay up.
Hosts files aren't a universal fix, bro. Sometimes you just need to keep offline backups.
The iron has a thermal fuse and is less likely to start a full-blown fire; at worst, it will smolder for a while before the thermal fuse burns and removes the heat source. A Note 7 is, in all reality, more likely to start a fire than an iron, both devices being left plugged in and sitting on the same ironing board.
Then, perhaps, you should have said "that CZ" or "the CZ 75", in which case you would have been correct. However, you simply said "CZ", which was, as proven above, incorrect.
So, you bought a phone that lacked a feature you required (a larger screen) and had a feature you didn't understand (a curved screen) and that's the phone's fault? Why didn't you just get the Note 6? It would've been cheaper, to boot!
Mind you, I shared some of your frustration with the curved screen at first, but I realized it would be an issue and I'd have to adjust my grip when I bought it. I made that adjustment and it hasn't been an issue in months; having the phone laying flat on my side table and still being able to see the time and any notification icons, while throwing only a minimal amount of light in my direction, is a nice feature.
I won't buy a phone solely for that feature and I doubt I'll miss it when it's gone, but it's not the living Hell you make it out to be, either.
I've never checked out their cases, will do for my next lhone. My problem with cases it that they tend to add to the width of tbe phone, which makes it difficult to find dash mounts that will fit the larger phones I am drawn to; I haven't been driving as much since my back injury, though, so that's less of a concern now.
It's not just old car stereos; a friend of mine drives a 2015 Hyundai something or other that has a USB port for iPod and an AUX jack for everything else; also, despite having Bluetooth in my car, the AUX port sees a lot of use, typically if I want to plug in my iPod or let a passenger be in charge of the music without making having to go through the Bluetooth sync process for a device which will, in all likelihood, never be connected to the car again.
I never use cases and I've never cracked a phone screen. Of course, I also don't make a habit of dropping or throwing my phones (all of them have been dropped and some have even been thrown, mind you) and I tend not to put them in my back pocket and sit on them like an idiot, so... that might have something to do with it.
Look at dbrand skins; I've used one on my last 3 phones (including my current S7 Edge), my iPad Pro, and even one of my XBOX One controllers, they're good stuff. The leather texture and metallic skins seem to give the best grip and they seem durable enough; thus far, they've seemed to be a good way to protect my devices without adding bulk or weight.
Would they hold up against repeated dropping? Probably not. But, then, I've never lost a phone to that in 2 decades; and I've thrown one phone through drywall and another through a closed car window (I used to have a bit of a temper -- that's calmed down a lot in the past decade).
Yup, as much as I love my S7 Edge (enough that I already wasn't looking at the S8, anyway, mind you), I doubt my next phone will be an S9, S10, or S-whatever they're up to when my S7 no longer serves my needs. I'll probably pick up a Pixel 2 (or, likely by then, Pixel 4).
Sad, because the S7 Edge is poised, hardware failure notwithstanding, be my longest-owned phone by the time I'm done with it. With 2 decades of cellphone ownership under my belt, that's quite a feat.
While CZ is a Czech company, manufacturing pistols in the Czech Republic and rifles in Turkey, CZ-USA is an American company and does have a design and warehouse facility in Kansas City, Missouri. Most guns distributed from that facility are made in the Czech Republic or Turkey, regardless of where they were designed, but CZ-USA does also have a custom shop in Warsaw, Missouri, where some of the American designs (including the Safari Classics and 550 Tactical lines of rifles) are built. They also own Dan Wesson Firearms, based out of Norwich, New York; they do all their manufacturing in-house, as well.

Just how long does it take you to type in your password?
These aren't my definitions, nor are they loose; these are established dictionary definitions, my friend.
I see why you post anonymously.
Regardless, the MAIN issue is that the entire rest of the OPs post was wrong too because it was based on that false statement
I never claimed otherwise, I'm merely attempting to correct your understanding of the English language.
HTML fail... "at that very moment, at the same time as it is plugged in"

A plaintext password still exists in case the reader fails (and there are many reasons that it would).
The real concern here is that the password is stored in plaintext, or in such a way that it can be reversed to plaintext, in the first place. Sure, they've patched this particular means of accessing that plaintext, but you can still super-cool the RAM (on machines where the RAM is still removable) and transfer it to another machine for analysis, read the plaintext (or reversibly encrypted value) from wherever it is ultimately stored, and, I'm sure, a number of other exploits, some of which may be as covert as this exploit.

It's got plenty of storage, including the ability to add external storage, and a removable battery to boot, though. And the FM radio isn't disabled!

You're looking at it backwards... He didn't mean you as a Note 7 owner, he meant your neighbors as Note 7 owners.

Right, because everyone else is using wired headphones. When that ceases to be an option.............
Yes, and you can always deal with audio desync when watching video or playing games while using Bluetooth headphones.
