4B isn't about asexuality, it's about abstinence. Not the same thing.

Are you saying women who support 4B used to date MAGAts? Seems like the women talking about 4B were already selective enough to only date liberals/leftists/etc.

All of the people I listed would have physical access for hours, out of sight of the owner. (see edit)

Is easy to find a tracker that's stuck to the bottom of a car if you put it on a lift and spend a few minutes with a flashlight (and since just takes a minute and a lot of mechanics are decent people, it's not hard to find someone to do it for free). And they either have batteries that will run out, or have to be wired to the battery which limits where they can be hidden.

Edit: misread your post, didn't see that you were talking about physical access to retrieve data, not bug the car. I'm pretty sure these cars have Bluetooth and wifi though, which the entertainment system most likely has access to.

Like the article points out, a lot of people trust strangers with their vehicles (valets, mechanics, etc). It might not happen to me, but I could see an abusive spouse/SO or shady valet installing tracking/bugging software with this exploit.

Politicians should be able to communicate effectively, and part of that is knowing your audience. The Democrats failed to reach the working class, it's that simple.

I agree with your about the religious and economic demographics, but...

Ethnic? From what I've seen, the only ethnic demographic that wasn't split roughly 50/50 was the black demographic. [correction: Native Americans voted for Trump 2 to 1]

Gender? At least 45% of voters from each gender voted for Trump.

New? Could be wrong, but I thought rootkits have been doing this for a while?

Yeah, hard to tell without the /s unfortunately.

I write C++ professionally. Saying it's a skill issue doesn't solve the problem. If a dev with 15+ years of experience still isn't writing memory-safe C++ (ie. some of the people I work with), they're not going to learn now.

And if you're a project manager and you choose to use C++ because your team says they like the challenge then you should be fired.

Of course none of this applies to hobby projects...

I mean, that's just my interpretation. I don't think it's a stretch though, switching to memory safe languages like rust has been pretty big recently.

How did you interpret the comic?

The unicyclist on the left is saying the bicyclist is only riding a bike because they don't have enough skill for a unicycle. The unicyclist on the right is saying they can't learn to ride a bike because they've spent too much of their life riding a unicycle. It's a dig at people who don't want to switch to memory-safe languages like rust.

It's not necessary in most cases, but it has advantages. Namely, it's easier to work with and melts at lower temperatures (less risk of damaging components and burning yourself). Also, while lead has its risks, they're easy enough to mitigate.

Lots of conjecture and misunderstanding in the other comments. Thanks for posting actual sources.

Be ready to replace the disk when the warranty ends.

What's the point of replacing them? The warranty doesn't keep them from dying, it just means you get a free replacement. The amount of life left on the drives after the warranty expires depends heavily on how they're used, and most self hosters are pretty gentle on their drives. I could see replacing the drives that are heavily used, but replacing all drives just because their warranty expired seems like a waste of money and effort.

Only 4x? Not sure what UK rates are like, but it could easily be 10x that in the US.

Wouldn't mind if they keep lowering power consumption...

It could - if a woman has a child with her own son.

Thanks for clarifying.

Still not sure what you're talking about.. Is someone going to ask IA for payment related to the zendesk email?

Are you saying the person who sent the zendesk email is going to try to get IA to hire them for something? I'm not sure I follow...
