SwiftOnSecurityWhy did apple have a 30-pin dock connector if USB can do everything?

kit@SwiftOnSecurity in the middle of a industrial embedded USB deprecation because of this
@SwiftOnSecurity sometimes field techs need to plug in a usb, and if the device has been on for months, something fails to recognize the connection and requires a reboot, but it’s been on so long because it needs constant uptime, so my coworker had to sit at 3am while a team rebooted it in the middle of the night to make usb work again
don'tbe,evil@lampsofgold @SwiftOnSecurity rebooting is dangerous, what if the device doesn’t come back up!?
Uptime: 10y237d56m12s
Date last patched: 💩
Billy O'Neal@u3b3rg33k @lampsofgold @SwiftOnSecurity I wish people didn’t show uptime like this and brag about it. “I am exploitable” is not something to brag about. “My system is designed so that it can’t be patched” even less.
@malwareminigun @lampsofgold @SwiftOnSecurity I’ve had two bad experiences with excessive uptime worthy of note.
1: my sendmail box at about 5 years. Failed on reboot due to boot sector corruption
2: someone (NOT ME) power cycled a DC. An old Cisco box that everyone was afraid to reboot… didn’t. Said box was a major single point of failure, too.
Neil@SwiftOnSecurity @malwareminigun @lampsofgold @u3b3rg33k No long uptime in my case, but there was a time we were upgrading a firewall in our data center. We switched to the new firewall and some things weren’t working quite right, so we were going to switch back to the old one so we could work out the issues in a leisurely manner. It wouldn’t boot up anymore. We ended up having to work out the issues with the new one right then and there.
