In such a system, the ESP32 fully trusts the host. If an attacker maliciously gains control over the host system, they could potentially issue these debug commands to influence ESP32’s behavior. However, an attacker must first compromise the host device, making this a second-stage attack vector rather than a standalone vulnerability. Or, gain a physical access to the device to send the HCI commands over serial interface.
Does this even count as backdoor? Not really if you have to have access to the device in the first place.
Why do kill switches when you can just hog all the work of maintaining some critical part of the infrastructure and make it's functioning and maintenance so opaque and impenetrable that the employer can't replace or fire you without their shit catching fire soon after. It doesn't have to be malicious or illegal.
His efforts to sabotage their network began that year, and by the next year, he had planted different forms of malicious code, creating "infinite loops" that deleted coworker profile files, preventing legitimate logins and causing system crashes
I wish this guy was were actually politically motivated, but he seems to have been just really petty minded person.
This leak is really scetchy, tbh. If it's real then it's probably happening because of the HarmonyOS NEXT that came out late last year. With that they basically dropped the previously used custom android/linux kernel for their own totally own proprietary HarmonyOS kernel. However with that they also lost support for android and linux code sideloading in the process and replaced it with some linux translation layer.
I always thought that HarmonyOS was meant to be more of a Android replacement that also had it's place in stuff like TVs, cars, IoT and smart devices, but they still tried PCs with it, but it was more like chromebook-like toy computer for web browsing and text editing than a full pc. It seemed like a competent product android and android smart device replacement, but I never saw it as a serious competitor for Windows, MacOS or Linux desktop. If them plan is just be self sufficient and ditch US code, then you can do more in the linux ecosystem and get more app support right out of the gate and not have to ask everybody to rewrite their code for your custom OS. With linux-laptops they will have global markets for their computers, when as Harmony OS and it's still are best in China's own 'software lagoon' where third parties care more about developing for Huawei app store.
Wasn't uefi a must already for windows 10 computers? Atleast for win 11 it is. We are probably talking 10-20% max of global computers that are affected and those also the type of computers that are not generally upgrading to RDNA4.
Your thinking seems to assume the liberal society as static and unchanging and seek to make life within it more tolerable, even with things that are mostly just product of current society and it's ills.
This, flat GDP really only accurately measures US economy and maybe the Euro zone. With others it becomes increasingly useless in really estimating anything concrete about that economy. Doubly so if they are sanctioned.
Crypto really is a perfect target for this kind of bank robbery, nobody can really feel too bad about it. It adds nothing to society, since you can't even buy anything with it beside drugs and is mostly used for speculation and creating pollution. Also 99% of it is owned by people who already have enough or too much wealth to begin with.
Russia has no say on NATO membership they can grind their teeth and whine like a baby as much as they want.
No, if Kiev or the EU leaders insists on Ukraine getting into Nato, then Russia will just keep the war going and end Ukraine as a state if they have to. They of course don't want that burden, but they are very ready and capable of doing that. That is their veto regarding Ukrainian nato membership.
It's even easier now that US is pulling out. Why would the Russians ever give concessions like that to Ukraine now? Is EU going to sanction Russia even more? Give Ukraine more of the ever more anemic amounts of weapons?
Plus every European country knows that taking Ukraine into Nato while the war is going on is like vote if they want to escalate this thing over Ukraine into a hot war against Russia that will go nuclear. Ukrainians themselves of course want that outcome. For them it would be just more bodies dying with them and for them, since they can't seem to accept anything else than their vision on total victory. These Zelensky's idiotic words just confirm that even more. That is also why unless a miracle happens and despite the talk form Ukraine and EU leaders Ukraine is never getting into Nato. That's just a fact. Ukraine lost, get over it. Than fuck "the orange man" and his team has some sense in this regard.
Nato membership for Ukraine is a no go for Russia, whose approval is actually needed to end the war. Also neither the US or most of European countries keen on having Ukraine in EU, especially when the war is still going on. Zelensky is just fucking with everybody here and insulting everybody's intelligence. He is not ready to step down, he is holding on for his dear life.
They can't. It's too sweet of a deal when there is an already existing fanbase ready to give them their money for much less work and risk than building a totally new game.
Now that it has been "freedomized" it instead says that Israel is actually 3000+ years old and Palestinians are invaders, and Israel has the right to defend itself like chatgpt does. Also that American style liberal democracy is the peak of human development and civilization. Don't kid yourself that this has anything to do with truth or making it more "accurate". Yeah just replace one set of official truths, half thrush with other set of official positions, half truths and outright lies to plug the gaps. Again, who fact checks the factcheckers? Even just out of spite I would not use any model that advertises itself as being trained to answer to the sensibilities of a western techbro liberals so that they can once more outsource their thinking to outside party, because at-least it isn't the CCP propaganda. Like it's so absolutely dreadful when deepseek copy-pastes official CPC party line word for word, on Chinese form of government instead of making up some Wikipedia tier wall of text where the word "authoritarian" is about as common of a word as "the".
I just don't get it man. What kind of non thinking cretin purposefully would use this kind of model? It's probably really the pettiness that gets to me so badly. Or maybe it's that while this is purposefully made to push a certain narrative, the deepseek's bias is probably just a result that it's been trainer on Chinese internet data.
Yeah you are going to get "horrible" 100fps lows in AC4 and borderlands 2 whit physx enabled.
How many of the two dozen games affected were already capped engine wise to 60 or 30fps because of console ports? If you can afford 5000-series then you probably also have a processor that can more than enough offset the GPUs workload. AC4 for example came out when gtx 980 was bleeding edge. It's just what AMD GPU users have been living with for decades, and not even really noticing. Even my three gen old low tier AMD laptop with integrated graphics can eek out 30+ fps in mirrors edge with physX on and all graphics maxed. I'm sure all of these games will be fine.
Eu doesn't have the weapons to replace the US, much less do anything more. All action by EU and European Nato is at best a political stunt to make US and Trump to change their minds.
Like basic thermodynamics can tell you that carbon capture sucks efficiency wise. It's more work to pour water on the floor and then mopping it up and putting a back into the bottle, than just not not spilling the water in the first place.
Those that thought they would agree to this can get in line and look surprised.
