Have you been to Northern Canada? Or any part of Canada that is not with in 100 miles of the US border? I don't think Urbanization is the problem here.
And uninstall your web browser, Since almost every web page contains javascript that gets downloaded and run as "local code". Spectre can work via javascript.
SnapDragon CPUs are affected by spectre as well. Quallcomm just recently verified this.
Don't really know if a list is practical. As you Say there are a lot of ARM based CPUs.
However most CPUs if you google the model number you can find a product page that will tell you which cores are in it. Compare the cores to ARMs list here https://developer.arm.com/support/security-update
So your example of the Texas Instruments DM3725 http://www.ti.com/product/DM3725 contains an Arm A-8 core which is affected by variant 1 and 2 of spectre.
Unfortunately there are some things that won't change about it. Mainly the number of people that can't manage to understand what is going on.
Speaking of which, I have to go buy a few bottles of hard liquor before my mom hears about this on the news and phones me to ask about the bond villains (SPECTRE) that are trying to meltdown the worlds computers.
I don't think he means vanished into a prison or shallow grave. It's more likely a vanished in the way scientists connected to German weapons programs vanished from Germany at the end of ww2.
aka you don't have a choice you are coming to work for us.
Why abduct a guy and force him to do IT work. It's not like there is a lack of skilled people, that can't be bothered with moral/legal questions about who their employer is or what they are doing. If there was banks, mpaa/riaa, phone/cable companies, etc... would all having to abduct IT staff too.
Nobody except maybe the poor person who's job it is to keep some vital to the organizations 1970s vintage COBOL software running. I have seen enough 30+ year old code still in mision critical use to have any doubt that somebody will still be trying to use it for something important in another 30-40 years from now.
I don't think you would have a problem, since 25km is only about 15.53 miles.
Either way a lot of large metro areas already have limits on flying a drone in urban areas, either from federal or municiple laws. Unfortunatly because of stupid people and the fact that a lot of drone manufatures are from china, selling into a western market. You are going to get a lot of prememptive restrictions since the manufactures don't want to loose access to the market.
Over all I would rather take my drone for a trip to the country side to use it, then have them pass a law saying I can't have one.
Not to mention companies have been trying for decades to control how their products get used, with little success, hence the number of new laws to try and protect their failed schemes. i doubt anybody that wanted to couldnt make the drone do what ever they wanted despite the manufactures best efforts.
Its that collection of things around your house such as your furnace, your fridge, the lock on your door, and your coffee maker, etc... that will stop working because your kid/spouse/parent clicked on a link that claimed to have naked pictures of whoever the current hot celebrity is.
Pretty much all that I want from a smart home, is the ability to be notified if things break or go wrong when I'm not there.
I couldn't care less about anything else, I just want to know when I need to get my ass home to fix something, or deal with a disaster.
Being able to get a notification as soon as the freezer fails, or the sump pump fails, or the furnace fails would make a big difference in just how shitty your day is going to end up being.
I originally bought one for the kids, but now I some how have almost a dozen of them. The Pi tends to be a great little problem solver. Between small size, cheap price, low power requirments, fairly easy to make use of gpio, and great comunity. So its very easy to go from a problem or a wouldnd't it be great if... to a solution.
Example Last year, had two major floods(one cause by a failed pump, one caused by a prolonged power outage) in the basement both times while out of town. Got to the point that the girlfriend didn't feel comfortable leaving the house for any large amount of time incase it happened again. A weekend worth of time a Raspberry Pi, and an assortment of parts most of which I had on hand. I now get updates to my phone about the status of the sump pump (is it running, how often, how much water, is my basement flooded), and the status of the power in the house.
As far as future models go... It would be nice to see something lets say double the speed, double the cores, double the ram, double the gpio, for less then double the price. USB3 and gigabit ethernet would also be more then welcome as well.
At this rate by the end of the year systemd will be the only piece of software I will need to install on a machine. Since it seems to want to replace the entire operating system.
I'm trying to be ok with systemd but If I wanted to replace my entire operating system, and everything I know about that operating system. I would move back to OpenBSD. Atleast I know what I'm getting into there and how everything works is well documented.
They already move their headquarters out of the country to avoid paying taxes. What's to stop them from moving corporate headquarters off world to avoid treaties?
I don't believe anybody has any treaties or laws against trading with entities that don't live on earth, and if a company has the ability to conduct large scale mining in space then they probably have the ability to make a reasonable claim that their corporation is based on that astroid.
Why don't they just add a little code to IE and Office and maybe other microsoft products, that checks for admin privileges and refuses to run and pops up a little message explaining why they should not use a privileged account for day to day stuff, if somebody is logged in with an admin privileged account.
and maybe provide some easy to use graphical sudo type tool, for when they have to do something admin like. maybe even set it up so it virus scans the file before running it as admin, and possibly even a regularly updated black list of programs known to be unsafe.(though I don't trust microsoft not to abuse that)
Have sesnors that read the rfid tags of the the car in each parking space. Then use the info collected to create a list of empty parking spaces. Then transmit the gps cordinates of each empty space on a predfined frequency. That way I could have my cars navigation system direct me to the nearest available parking spot.
That way I don't have to drive around for an hour to find a spot.
There is several flaws with this Idea, but atleast it is not a nother there goes my privacy post.

Care to point out where in Arms white paper it mentions the a7 or a53 cores being affected by Spectre?

I love the fact that that setting is just slightly above the warn you about unwanted software option.

.local is big a pain in the ass, that Is not recommended to use in most cases.
Rename company something like the IoT Blockchain On Demand Deep Learning Virtual Assistant Augmented Reality Cloud Quantum Computing Company.

So, I wasn't the only one that saw that. Been up way to long wasn't sure if that part was real or if it was the lack of sleep starting getting to me.

attention, profit, fame or what ever else that they are after.
Its getting old.
Especially when it is done by people that are completely ignorant of what they are talking about.
Why don't they just add a little code to IE and Office and maybe other microsoft products, that checks for admin privileges and refuses to run and pops up a little message explaining why they should not use a privileged account for day to day stuff, if somebody is logged in with an admin privileged account.

Now I will have the RIAA trying to take away both my mp3s and my guns.
But on the other hand maybee we can get the NRA to
lobby against the RIAA. The NRA has got a lot of clout in washington.

As scary as it is, that the car is running windowsCE.
It could be worse, imagine having clippy as a back
seat driver.
