@GossiTheDog I've got some really bad news for you about the phrases "sophisticated cyber attack" and "we take security seriously".

Insufficient entropy is an error when a computer can't find enough randomness, or a mistake where too little randomness was used. People think of entropy as a measure of disorder and then make computers complain there is too little of it.
Zack WhittakerElectronic Frontier Foundation and dozens of leading cyber and election security experts have signed an open letter saying they "unequivocally condemn" the Trump order targeting former CISA director Chris Krebs, and demand the order is rescinded.
EFF Leads Prominent Security Experts in Urging Trump Administration to Leave Chris Krebs Alone
SAN FRANCISCO – The Trump Administration must cease its politically motivated investigation of former U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Christopher Krebs, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and dozens hundreds (see update below) of prominent cybersecurity and...
@nikitonsky calendar integration so the clock will run slower as important work deadlines approach?
New, w/ @lorenzofb: Data-loss prevention startup Cyberhaven was hacked to publish a malicious update to its Chrome extension, affecting potentially thousands of users. A security researcher says other big Chrome extensions were hacked in the same campaign.
Jeff JohnsonIf you were a Mac developer in 2006 and earlier, you didn't have to do anything that Apple wanted.
You didn't even need an Apple Developer account, or indeed an Apple ID (which was used primarily for iTunes Music Store purchases). The Xcode developer tools came on disc with every Mac.
I'm not sure that developers today can imagine such a world of freedom. They come in adopting a servile mindset.
@FediThing @dalias @atzanteol you don't need electricity or vaccines, or beer. Most cruise and container ships already have Internet, heck I know an IT person who works from their yacht using Starlink allowing them to work from literally anywhere (regulatory restrictions aside). In the future there are no mobile dead zones, no failed emergency calls (as long as you can see the sky). If we get to autonomous ships or want to do emergency medical care on a container ship I imagine broadband may be useful.
@FediThing @atzanteol if that is true Starlink will fail, and no one will replenish the satellites, so you can quit worrying. That said I use to work with weather observing systems, there is probably a lot of pent up demand and use cases that are hard to imagine beyond what we've seen with the military.
@atzanteol @FediThing regulatory hurdles aside it is a hard problem, especially if you want mobile access (e.g. boats & trucks). Yes there are probably other solutions than satellites, but each satellite sees 2.9 million square miles, how much infrastructure/client end devices/fibre do you need to cover 2.9 million square miles? Meta looked at high altitude balloons, probably the obvious alternative but they bring different collision & debris risks.
@guitarlars @howelloneill link checker won't help, it gave me valid links they just weren't to the material it claimed it was. It needs training on creating citations, it does equally complex things with software & Codex so I think it is fixable with some training. Although recalling multiple citations wholesale rather than cut and paste is well beyond most humans.
