GPL only requires providing build scripts for GPL software. In this case it means they can't strip kernel makefiles from the kernel source to make it harder to build independently.

First time I hear of RFC7710, all I see is HTTP hijacking. Does anybody support it, in particular OS vendors? I suppose some new UI or a new API for browsers would be required.

A few years ago some Ford cars had been found to amplify their engine noise through the speakers. At least they kept it to the driver.

> much more diverse tech industry and a much more functional one. As a Darwinist of sorts, I'm afraid that if this actually were true, we would be seeing some serious disruption of those nerds by much more functional diverse teams.

They all are equal shitshows. This one even seems to have lower proportion of grey comments than the one I linked.

Can't speak for the OP, but as a (maybe possibly somewhat arrogant) man, the most I have ever mustered towards unwanted people bothering me was cold, superficial politeness, just barely enough that they can't say I'm wronging

Therefore there is suspicion that spooks may have been using that for years and revealed it once they've had enough for some reason. I'm not familiar with any proven case of such situation, but people speculate.

Everybody knows it and I wouldn't be bringing attention to myself like that if I used flags often enough to care, I come here in part to read about all sorts of weird stuff people post and flagging is largely counterproductive to that.

I think they are common on Intel systems, my old laptop with ICH7-M chipset has one.

Observation: the length of the censored "XXX hardware bug" text on the slides matches neither Intel, AMD nor Transmeta. Unlikely to be VIA too. Either it's deception or perhaps some obscure low-end embedded vendor. edit: for

This looks funny, it seems that RDI is never modified by the loop (?) so lines 18-24 always load the same data, presumably from L1. It's mysterious why of all those instructions, 20 and 24 get most interrupt hits.

People working on OpenZFS are unlikely to switch licenses, but somebody (presumably a company) could possibly develop an "improved" fork to make money on it and refuse to contribute back, at which point Oracle would be forced to s

FDE isn't really "full disk" because it still leaves the kernel image unencrypted so that it is accessible to the bootloader. This image can then be maliciously edited by an "evil maid" attacker. Chromebooks use ker

Why not? Without links this post is useless to everybody besides people who know about this case. Both of them. So let's count: the OP is one and I'm another. It follows that nobody else knows ;)

I think the problem is not only with the Internet but mainly with people having no idea of just how large and varied the world is, how other people see things and how bizarre shit lurks just behind the horizon of their own life experience.

I'm under impression that the part about "riding the publicity to raise a round" referred to some other case involving 500 startups, not this one here.

Of course this needs to be done with care because retraction shouldn't be a reliable get-out-of-jail card if you use false accusations as a normal way of conducting business ;)

So what exactly has happened there? They say that some "transport agency" has uploaded their database to a 3rd party and this somehow implies compromise of military databases too? How is "EU secure intranet" relevant?

On the Internet there is also the problem of remote attackers. Even if you preemptively jail all people in your jurisdiction, your system still isn't safe. It doesn't make any sense at all to call sending some malicious data to yo
