Does money want this?

Like really truly, I'm seeing fucking bloomberg and forbes come out against trump.

I heard they have black paddles and everything.

And frankly, the US isn't the only trade partner in the world.

It's a large economy but not the only economy. These tariffs from the US are dumb because the end result is that the US will be excluded from world trade just like Iran or North Korea is.

Cool. As an opposition party you make them do that.

You don't fucking work with the Nazi party, who is currently actively dismantling the government, because you are afraid your defense contractor constituents won't be happy.

The democrats got literally nothing from the republicans. That's absolutely not compromise, it's just being an ashamed republican.

You kidding? This is probably the best use of cops. Instead of harassing minorities they've created a human shield that will scare off people from purchasing Nazi mobiles.

If tax money is going to cops, they might as well be doing the job of a protest but more effectively.

Just reread it and no, it's not a BT vulnerability. The "erase flash" command is something that has to be done by software running outside the BT stack. You can even see that inside the slides. The UsbBluetooth software is connected to the device with the flawed bluetooth chipset.

The vulnerability is that if you have this chipset and compromised software, someone can flash the chipset with compromised flash. They even say that it's not an easy attack to pull off in the article.

In general, though, physical access to the device's USB or UART interface would be far riskier and a more realistic attack scenario.

In otherwords, the attack is something that can only be pulled off if there's also a security vulnerability within other parts of the hardware stack.

I just re-read the article and yes, you still need physical access.

The exploit is one that bypasses OS protections to writing to the firmware. In otherwords, you need to get the device to run a malicious piece of code or exploit a vulnerability in already running code that also interacts with the bluetooth stack.

The exploit, explicitly, is not one that can be carried out with a drive-by Bluetooth connection. You also need faulty software running on the device.

I think we are basically already there with ESPs :D.

Security wise, unless you are being specifically targeted by someone, you are almost certainly fine. And if you are being specifically targeted, I think someone hacking your ESPs is the least of your worries. A malicious attacker that knows your physical location can do a lot more scary things than just spying through ESPs.

You're fine. This isn't something that can be exploited over wifi. You literally need physical access to the device to exploit it as it's commands over USB that allow flashing the chip.

This is a security firm making everything sound scary because they want you to buy their testing device.

Sort of my feelings here. This isn't like the FBI or CIA that actively go around trying to fuck people over. Airports wouldn't function if they acted like that and politicians LOVE to fly.

But also, the TSA is a place we need to defund and mostly dismantle. There's no reason an airport needs so much security theater other than it makes rich people feel good. They need about as much security as a subway does (not much).

That said, they aren't first on my list for "defund the police". That honor belongs to ICE.

Trump didn't promise to keep the tarrifs lifted, only to pause them. You are correct that it's insane to have a continual 30 day "will he won't he" tension.

I hate that my syrup is about to get more expensive, but it's really the right thing for Canada to do.

No, not possible.

The closet we've seen are the zodiac killer's scribbles and they lasted as long as they did because he made a mistake (and frankly because no security researcher was really trying).

Modern cryptography works because it shuffles data around so much that it appears random. There's simply no way to do those sorts of operations with just pen and paper.

I own a Tesla (2018). Elon is the brand. CT is very much his napkin design made real. He's fired everyone that pushes back on him and runs the company as a vanity project.

The hate is not misplaced, until Elon is removed as the CEO I'll not own another one. Even though I think they are some of the better evs on the market.

The strategy is wildly different. Kamala did reach out by abandoning popular positions and instead focusing on virtue signalling garbage "I own a gun" "look at how tough on crime I am" "Liz Cheney likes me".

Bernie's message is different. It's M4A and worker's rights. He's not putting out different messaging from what he's always pushed for.

You want to say it's because he's a man, but that's not it. AOC and Elizabeth Warren both have similar messages and both are fairly well received.

Kamala's messaging failed because like Hilary it was essentially "Trump is bad, you have to vote for me" and nothing else. She failed to present any sort of plan for the US. I mean, FFS, she spent part of the campaign doing "me too" to Trump policies like no tax on tips.

No. It's obviously the space telescopes.

The summer wildfire and hurricane season is going to be wild.

Between gutting forestry services, national park services, weather services, FEMA... Yeah...

It's anti-woman.

The real true reason most people are against abortion isn't because they don't believe it's a necessity. It's because they are afraid that some woman won't be punished for having sex. Whether or not the fetus survives isn't the point, it's that someone has to be punished for enjoying life.

Our gov is showing us what they do with the tax money. It is, in fact, all public information you can get with a couple seconds of digging (and has been that way for a LONG time).

The only real black boxes of the government are military and espionage spending. Everything else is out in the open.

it is more obvious in the book compared to the film.

The film was loosely based on the book and was explicitly written as a critique on fascism and the book. Verhoeven and Neumeier have said as much.

But also, I don't think you know what fascism is. There's always people in a fascist state that have a good quality of life. The question is what happens to people that don't fit in the state mold? What happens to enemies of the state? Who gets classified as an enemy of the state? Who holds power or can hold power in the state? The fact that to be a citizen you'd have to start by joining the state party is de-facto a fascist state.

If you were part of the Nazi party in germany as a non-jew/communist/or someone with a disability. Life was pretty good. So good that US newspapers had Hitler as person of the year and sung him praises. They had commerce and a strong economy with most people having great lives. Nazis were popular and liked by the people because they saw them as making their lives better. And you could get a high ranking position in the government by joining the military and serving a term.

In the film, the enemies were the Arachnids. War started because of the colonization of arachnid territories and extermination was the next order of business. Even though Arachnids are depicted as being thinking and intelligent beings. That was the point of the final scene "It's afraid!". Rather than try to understand or communicate with the alien/foreigner/etc, the government prioritized extermination and learning to make it fear them.
