If a cop wants to pull you over, and they follow you for 30 minutes, eventually there will be some small mistake that is technically a moving violation. Following too close is a crime we all commit occasionally.
It seemed to be that they may not have disclosed everything they discovered, so as not to admit to their own "unauthorized access" to a computer. They stated they got credentials for the cnc server but using it would be unauth access - they implied they didn't.
But they did explain some of the infection nonetheless. A COM exploit on Windows for one.
Browsers are pretty well insulated from arbitrary code execution on the host machine, but I bet android has more vulnerabilities. It wasn't long ago that the webp zero day could pwn anyones device who just looked at an infected webp. (Also Israeli spyware, I believe). Similarily, if Windows apps have ad banners, there could be zero days there as well.
They're not using gas generators to run the other models?
Gas generators are common in new data center buildouts. I'm not a fan, because they are insanely loud, but they do prevent the data centers from weighing down the grid and raising rates for all the neighbors.
This is absurd nonsense, and needs to be quelled wherever espoused.
Dams aren't as a nuclear explosion. They don't burst into appearance, in a way where animals cannot walk away from the rising water. Birds lose nests all the time (wind knocks down trees, for example) and they merely build another. And they only need nests to rear young, and those fall out of trees so they... build another.
What happens in reality, and not in fantastical, hyperbolic renditions of the truth, is that one ecosystem replaces another. Where before was river, is now lake. And this is an entirely natural process. There have been cases of earthquakes causing river blockage, and of course the reverse!
And of course our friendly beaver blocks rivers all the time, sometimes to the extent that it can be seen from space. Rivers being blocked is a natural, normal, common practice.
But I suppose you hate all the beavers too? Do you raise fist to air, shake it in emotive angst, and rail against the horrors of natural geological processes too? Do you hunt the noble beaver, too?
How about instead of dismissing, deriding, and debasing one of the most environmentally friendly methods of power generation, you get behind it? How about instead of suppressing a hydroelectric dam, which means people will build Ng generators, or use coal, you support them.
Or would you prefer nuclear, for that stable, steady, backing, of which windmill and our friendly sol does not provide? Or would you prefer massive acres of batteries, instead?
I beg you sir, please cease this mindless chatter!
(no I don't normally talk like this, but what the hell, a but of levity may bring less conflict here)
This was intended to be absurd nonsense (or as I call it, irony).
I mean, if you think about this, burning stuff is also a part of nature, wildfires happens regularly, volcanos active right now, etc. Burning fossils like gas was(from caveman burning wood) and is still most popular way to generate energy among humans. I don't get what's so special about datacenters people find compared to any industrial facilities to fuel hateboner on most absurd nitpicks.
Arsenic is a part of nature, but it’ll still kill you. Burning the massive amount of co2 stored underground during the carboniferous period is not the same as random forest fires that burn co2 fixed a few decades ago.
Smart engineers will include a physical bypass in this sort of thing. Store employees should be be able to yank a lever to throw the thing in manual mode and get it off the compromised internet system.
I used it until they required i download the mobile app. Was fine having an account and viewing via web but requiring I download the app was a bridge too far.
> Currently the best solution is to not use programming language package managers, but GNOME’s Rust code depends heavily on Cargo. Accordingly, I recommend against using Rust for writing GNOME software.
It didn't seem like the article was really about Rust, honestly.
