If I am understanding the article correctly, NHTSA asserts that to open up telematics to 3rd parties would allow remote attacks on multiple vehicles' safety-critical systems simultaneously. This implies telematics has remote control on

My guess is that since the packet is officially reserved and should not be set, a common firewall or other security appliance considers said packets to be malformed and drops them as a default behavior.

In the article, Firefox is cited as intending to adopt MV3 for compatibility reasons. If they indeed do so, I'm not sure how much relief running Firefox will offer from the more evil aspects of MV3.

The concept this video covers proably will not come to a surprise to some here. However, I didn't take any of the classes in college that would introduced this concept to me. Thus, in a failure to recognize that auto-play had been turn

I will not disagree with the premise that our current and future energy needs require diversification into more nuclear generation, and that nuclear requires uranium. I will however, reject the notion that such necessarily means that what i

This feels like one of those obvious-in-hindsight things. Of course an unshielded conductor would radiate RF correlating with the signal it carries, and if you could pick up the radiated RF, and knew the modulation scheme and how do decod

Indeed I have. I have edited my post to reflect that.

That's probably deliberate. An intentional name collision seems a good way to run a front.

Huh. There's a lot bands in the "Hate" section. Looking up the various names I'm finding various death metal and black metal bands. I can't help but wonder how many of those bands on are on that list because someone

Man, I wish I would have known about this a few weeks ago when I was working on repairing a water damaged controller board from an electric smoker. Fortunately, the damaged components were not the mysterious SOT-23 devices labeled only &quo

I mean, when I last worked in a NOC, we used to call ourselves "NOC monkeys", so yeah. IF you're in the NOC, you're a NOC monkey, if you're on the floor, you're a floor monkey. And so on.

Yes, but Facebook is not a small company. Could PagerDuty realistically handle the scale of notifications that would be required for Facebook's operations?

Link to such claims here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28750894 I have no doubt that the publicly published post-mortem report (if there even is one) will be heavily redacted in comparison to the internal-only vers

Okay this is fun. Some thoughts: * The volume ramps up a bit too quickly. In trying to blend hese, I don't think I've taken a single one above 10. Finer gradations in volume, if possible, would be great. * It would be great to set

In the end of the video he lists off the number of things he did that were fancier than necessary. One of them was the use of an Arduino for the pulse duration and switching. I found myself reflexively commenting, "It's called a 5

What is the cause of the excess heat transfer? Is it mainly an excess pulse duration? I notice that the project in the OP was being pulsed on the order of 100s of ms, long enough to get a visible glow. Or is the excess heat caused by the fa

If you read the linked book, it covers this point. Yes, the tech exists to build bombs with multi-megaton yields and has existed for decades However, those super-big explosions are actually less tactically and strategically useful. More use

The situation with SMPTS and port 465 is a fun one. By my understanding, at present, implicit TLS for submission isn't standard. Now, a lot of mail server operators listen on port 465 for SMTPS anyway, because very breifly, that was th

For a second, I was hoping the image on the phone case was an adversarial one, intended to jam up facial-recognition other surveillance-related AI. No, nothing so extravagent, just a visualization of internal state. 'Tis still nifty.

That's an interesting idea. I don't know if the FTC has the authority to do so under the current powers given to it by Congress, and I don't know if I'd like the precedent of them trying without Congress so delegating th

What's the cutoff for larger networks where the price starts to go down? Would say, a /16 count? Or does that effect kick in as low as, say, a /20?

The passage about following the contracts to the letter and thus being able to get out of those contracts with a bit of cleverness reminds me of a similar principle in stores about faeries -- that faeries will follow their bargains with mor
