BMW’s latest “innovation” isn’t about performance or safety. It’s a logo-shaped screw designed to keep owners out of their own cars. We dug into the patent, the intent behind it, and why Adafruit is already working on a custom bit to undo BMW’s attempt to block repair. Learn more at the link below.

applied cccryptography ≠ security

if 🔑 management is flawed, the cryptography is "decorative": provides a false sense of security. ps:

» security features should be explainable in terms of "X checks Y against Z". If they can’t be explained clearly, they may be more marketing than substance «

"A massive equatorial Coronal Hole is now turning directly toward Earth — and it’s arriving at the same time as those giant, hyperactive sunspots and the unusual dual-spacecraft detection we saw earlier today.
That combination doesn’t happen often.
The Sun is gearing up for a very active period.
Coronal Hole + hyperactive sunspots + fast-moving material in the solar wind
= the kind of setup that usually leads to “interesting” days for Earth."

@xjoe @VeroniqueB99 @ArtHarg hi, so the software update didn't make the hardware immune to radiation ofc (even if you shield the hardware modern microchips are vulnerable to SEUs due to their tiny feature sizes. the only imo solution is to use radiation-hardened chips). It's all tricky. Also this isn't just an Airbus problem as AVs, drones and even data centers rely on microchips. (I know it's scary but it all looks like just another error)

From a friend:

"Just before reading your message, I was in a video call with an acquaintance, a girl who is ground crew for an airline and can tell you that she reported flight disruptions with Airbus planes. She couldn't pinpoint the problem but remarked how stressful it was dealing with many passengers on delayed or cancelled flights. ....
Wow! She sent me an impressive video of a terminal jam packed wall to wall passengers from cancelled flights. Thousands. "

@ai6yr Honestly, it's better to wait in the airport terminal than swim in the cold ocean, the same goes for trains.

    friend: so you think we should stop flying the A350 because it was optimized by Palantir?

    me: your choice. Imo, Airbus used Palantir for its own purposes (as a tool). In Gotham's case, Palantir is exploiting citizens (the pain hits differently). b2b vs b2c

    As a kid, I learned English from English language cartoons on FilmNet. I learned from German TV shows. My passion for Swedish crime series taught me Swedish.

    But now, the largest tv medium of our time, YouTube, has begun auto-translating everything. Future generations will not be exposed to foreign languages and be inspired to take an interest.

    There was no public review of this, no democratic vote. One company just decided to turn foreign cultures off and make the world dumber.

    For profit.

The caption notes it’s early morning and the engineers are still in their tents, joking that a good night’s sleep does wonders.
