Right, field maintenance, especially when you don't have access to tools is a bit of an exception. Personally I think using take down pins for guns is the way to go for field maintenance anyway.
Ya Ikea standardized on hex because it's cheap to mass produce. It definitely strips though.
Torx has slowly been gaining popularity in the US for a decade or two now, but sadly Phillips is still pretty popular and hex is pretty common also, you will see the square/Robertson screws a lot in electrical panels and in cabinetry but not super common at the hardware store.
The way I see it, anything with a square bit can be done by with a hand held screw driver, and anything with a torx bit should probably be torqued to a certain amount and/or be used with a screw gun. Square/Robertson bits are used super often in things like electrical panels and electronics. They are becoming pretty common for cabinetry also. I doubt you'll see a torx screw in cabinets.
I own quite a few 3d printers and got into it in the late 2000s with MakerBot. I have learned a lot, and have tried to drag friends into the hobby, and most of them have been highly frustrated until Bambu came along.
Please, just get a Bambu printer, right now nothing else compares. Bambu isn't fully FOSS (firmware isn't) but people are working on open source firmware. Their slicer software is open source.
For printing anything for a car, don't use PLA, I'd suggest PETG, ABS, ASA, or Nylon if you get a printer that can handle that (prob more than $300). PLA will warp in a car from heat/sunlight.
A Bambu A1 is $340 without the AMS lite. If you get that and like it, I'd recommend getting the AMS lite so you can do multi color and multi material prints. It can handle PLA and PETG which should meet most hobby needs. If you want to get into actually doing robotics stuff with it more seriously, sell the A1 and get a P1P.
Square (Robertson) and/or torx depending on application. Square should be for everyday things and torx should be for anything mechanical, yes I know there is a big gray area in the middle there, but flat head, phillips, and hex need to go.
I don't think he will actually be able to pull this off. All federal agencies use USPS because they are govt employees, there are tons and tons of policies written about what has to be sent using USPS. Sure he probably could try to do this, but I imagine he will get a fair bit of pushback internally
That just would allow a malicious attacker to fake being the server, it doesn't actually compromise the TLS session. So you are talking about a much more sophisticated multi stage attack that needs to be actively executed. This wouldn't at all allow them to record traffic and decrypt later.
The certs authenticate that you are talking to the real server, the symmetric session keys that are usually derived from a diffie helman key exchange have nothing to do with certs. That's two separate (but connected) parts of the transaction to build a TLS session.
I work in cryptography, and I guarantee if that's true "some person you know who worked in government security" would not tell you if they did know, or they are pulling shit out of their ass. There have been so many people that have looked at or worked on SSL/TLS implementations (including some of my coworkers), any vulnerabilities would have to be pretty subtle or clever, and that would be kept highly classified. Quit making shit up or repeating bullshit you heard.
I'm only saying this because the vote failed everywhere, clearly it's a strategy problem.
If you ask anyone on the street if they would want more moderates and parties in office, a large majority would agree, so if that's the goal, the question is, how do we get there. Ranked choice is great, but it's not optimal in either how the tallying determines a winner, or in convincing people this is better. Approval voting is clearly easier to explain and probably convince people it's better. So now that the vote has failed, we should reassess our strategy from ranked choice to approval voting.
I think we should start pushing approval voting instead of ranked choice. Ranked choice is easy to explain how to vote but a little complex to explain how the vote is tallied and that's what people find confusing.
Approval voting is straight forward and easy to explain, whoever gets the most approvals wins.
