In a small house nestled among the oak trees here, a four-hour drive west of the Black Hat and DefCon cybersecurity and hacker conferences taking place in Las Vegas and high enough into the hills above town that Google Maps can’t accurately find it, biohackers took one small but important step toward the science fiction dystopia depicted in William Gibson’s Johnny Mnemonic. The Internet of Don't Try This At Home (IoDTTaH)
I mean - how is he going to update when a new Raspberry Pi board comes out? Or they need more storage? Even Johnny Mnemonic could carry 80GB.

It looks like an Apple lightning cable. It works like an Apple lightning cable. But it will give an attacker a way to remotely tap into your computer. Beware of hackers bearing cables
Or just beware of Apple cables in general. At least they change the required cables often, so you get to always stay up-to-date.

They're slightly more expensive than the Apple ones, so all the fanbois will want them.

Some people never learn; in 1979 California issued "No Plates" and in 1987 Washington DC issued "No-Tags".
Both owners got thousands of dollars of fines.

Researchers analyzing the security of legitimate device drivers found that more than 40 drivers from at least 20 hardware vendors contain vulnerabilities that can be abused to achieve privilege escalation. There are only 40 drivers in Windows 10?
Yeah, kind of a "dog bites man" story
|
|
|
|
|
Side note: Does anyone actually uninstall drivers that are no longer in use?
I know I don't. Maybe a garbage-collector routine would be useful, getting rid of drivers that haven't been used for n seconds -- reinstalling drivers for kit you start re-using isn't exactly a major task.

The White House Readies Draft of Executive Order That Could Break the Internet[^]
OK, I'll grant that the article does seem to be from a particular political point of view (whether I agree with that PoV or not is irrelevant, given that "journalist" is one of the strings for my bow), but, when you dig deeper, the source of the amendment does appear to be saying "No bias unless it's bias I agree with!".
And yes, that would break (the whole point of) the Internet, given that it would set a precedent for every other country to enact the same kind of "amendment".

I disagree (but also disagree with using an executive order.)
Strictly speaking, if you curate otherwise legal content, you become a publisher and therefore become liable for that content. I think a reasonable compromise is that a site could delete content not germane to its purpose as long as it does so in a consistent manner.
The claim, however, that there is no evidence censorship is happening is laughable and easily disproved.

Shirley, but monitoring for political viewpoints isn't quite the same thing as monitoring for child abuse.

Primary, private e-mail address, known only to those close to me: +/- 20 e-mails a day, all real.
Secondary e-mail address, used for web-site subscriptions, etc: +/- 250 e-mails a day, +/- 20 real.
And, even though I'm ridiculously careful about personal information, I get SPAM in Italian, so at least one of the two Italian-language sites I interface with needs a kick up its privacy bunghole.
The amount of SPAM shooting around these days would have been as effective as DDoS attacks, 20 years ago.
[edit] Hmm. I thought I was in the Lounge. My mistake.

I could do that on the primary e-mail, but there wouldn't be much of a point to it.
