No not really. I have the bedtime mode set up the way I want it with the necessary exceptions. Airplane mode would mess that up.

The funniest thing about this is that Prime day is a “holiday” of their own making. It’s not like it’s the Christmas push caused by consumers.

The argument is utterly stupid.

Ignoring that it is building on a fantasy reality for the moment. Even if you had free healthcare, and if only the financial costs of survival motivated people to get jobs, then the other costs of living, like for food and shelter, would still provide that motivation.

Doesn’t “citizenship” mean where you’re born?

Only in the new world continents. In Africa, Europe, and Asia it normally means what country your parents and grandparents are from, unless someone in the chain naturalises to a different country.

I wonder how betrayed the people in the Appalachian feel when their supposed “own” Vance stood for this.

They are hardly even in the US market. Only via Murena with their e/OS/.

Those are both way more useful than exploiting a lazy coder’s fuckup

I never said social engineering, physical breaching, exerting force on people, and other ways of compromising systems weren’t useful. They just aren’t hacking to me, otherwise the term is too broad to be very useful.

You’re free to come up with your own definition, I was asked to define it and that’s my best shot for now.

You know my first instinct wast to reply with: “No.”

Maybe I should have stuck with that. I had a feeling this would lead nowhere.

I’d start with the following, and refine if necessary:

“Gaining unauthorized access to a protected computer resource by technical means.”

• Port scanning --> Not hacking because there isn’t any access to resources gained*
• Using default passwords that weren’t changed --> Not hacking because the resource wasn’t protected*
• Sending spam --> Not hacking because there isn’t any access to resources gained
• Beating the admin with a wrench until he tells you the key --> Not hacking because it’s not by technical means.
• Accessing teacher SSN’s published on the state website in the HTML --> Not hacking because the resource wasn’t protected, and on the contrary was actively published**
• Distributed denial of service attack --> Not hacking because there isn’t any access to resources gained

* Those first two actually happened in 2001 here in Switzerland when the WEF visitors list was on a database server with default password, they had to let a guy (David S.) go free
** The governor and his idiot troupe eventually stopped their grandstanding and didn’t file charges against Josh Renaud of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter, luckily

I haven’t heard of a firewall failing open when overwhelmed yet. Usually quite the opposite, a flood disables access to more than just the targeted device, when the state table overflows.

But maybe there is a different mechanism I’m not aware of. How would the DDoS change the properties of ingress?

DDoS is not hacking

They do actually burn gas locally, I wasn’t trying to dispute that part. It has become a political discussion in Memphis. Apparently they wanted to start operations on turbines before the grid access was ready.

The petit pipi is very funny to me for some reason.

I also appreciate the translation of “???” for “???”

Ah I found some more info from the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung:

Lame wurde am 6. Juni auf dem Flughafen von Las Vegas im Bundesstaat Nevada von der US-Einwanderungsbehörde vorübergehend festgesetzt und flog noch gleichentags freiwillig nach Kanada weiter. Offenbar hatte Lame übersehen, dass seine elektronische Einreisegenehmigung (ESTA), die zwei Jahre lang gültig ist und mehrmalige Einreisen ermöglicht, abgelaufen war.

It says he didn’t realize that his ESTA authorization (which you can use for multiple visits, but is only valid for two years) had lost validity.

The linked video is a bit unclear to me. The don’t explain the modes well. Mostly it seems to just show heat. According to the description it’s a Teledyne FLIR G620, which should be able to detect Methane and other VOCs. But it’s not clear to me how we are supposed to distinguish hot rising CO2 and H2O from any potentially leaking Methane, in those pictures.

This week I heard from a network group lead of a university hospital, that they have a similar issue. Some medical devices that come with control computers can’t be upgraded, because they were only certified for medical use with the specific software they came with.

They just isolate those devices as much as possible on the network, not much else to do, when there is no official support and recertification for upgrading. And of course nobody wants to spend half a million on a new imaging device when the old one is still fine except for the OS of the control computer.

Sounds like a shitty place to be, I pity those guys.

That said, if you were talking about normal client computers then it’s inexcusable.

overstaying the terms of his visa

He arrived in the US on 30 April

Hm weird. If he’s Italian, wouldn’t he have an ESTA authorization under the Visa Waiver Program for 90 days usually?

though you’d need to supply power

Go for really old ones with the crank handle for ringing. Like from army surplus and you don’t need the power :-)

We played around with these for a day in the army https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feldtelefon_50 when you crank the handle while your friend is still putting down the line you can shock them.

Friend of mine had the same scenario in high school. The only one who knew was the twin sister of the girlfriend. The rest of the family would never have accepted a non-muslim. It’s probably the only way to do this until she’s an adult and can tell them to fuck off.

I am not a computer science major, I studied linguistics.

We’re not falling for your deceit, Noam Chomsky. You probably used some context-free grammar to hack the website.
