Dunno why you're being downvoted. If you're wanting a somewhat right-wing, pro-establishment, slightly superficial take on the news, mixed in with lots of "celebrity" frippery, then the BBC have got you covered. Their chairmen have historically been a list of old Tories, but that has never stopped the Tory party of accusing their news of being "left leaning" when it's blatantly not.

Memory safety is just a small part of infrastructure resilience. Rust doesn't protect you from phishing attacks. Rust doesn't protect you from weak passwords. Rust doesn't protect you from network misconfiguration. (For that matter, Rust doesn't protect you from some group of twenty-year old assholes installing their own servers inside your network, like you say.) Protecting your estate is not just about a programming language.
"Infrastructure", to me, suggests power, water, oil and food, more than some random website. For US infra, I'm thinking a lot of Allen-Bradley programmable logic controllers, but probably a lot of Siemens and Mitsubishi stuff as well - things like these: https://www.rockwellautomation.com/en-us/products/hardware/allen-bradley/programmable-controllers.html.
Historically, the controllers for industrial infrastructure (from a single pumping station to critical electrical distribution) have been on their own separate networks, and so things like secure passwords and infrastructure updates haven't been a priority. Some of these things have been running untouched for decades; thousands of people will have used the (often shared) credentials, which are very rarely updated or changed. The recent change is to demand more visibility and interaction; every SCADA (the main control computer used for interactive plant control) that you bring onto the public internet so that you can see what it's up to in a central hub, the more opportunity you have to mess up the network security and allow undesirables in.
PLCs tend to be coded up in "ladder logic" and compiled to device-specific assembly language. It isn't a programming environment where C has made any inroads over the decades; I very much doubt there's a Rust compiler for some random microcontroller, and "supported by manufacturer" is critical for these industries.

Tesla lost substantial ground in an EV market that was up 54% for the month
There's a big increase in EV sales and Tesla are selling 59% fewer cars than they did last year. That's a massive slump in their fraction of the market.
Taiwan's a small-ish country of about 24M people, and also probably the number one producer of advanced semiconductors. Their family tree is basically "rich bastards that own things"; neither Lisa Su or Jensen Huang inherited their firms, but "work your arse off until you're at the top" looks to be a closely-held family value. So yeah; surprising, but first-cousin-once-removed isn't that close, and they've both got some seriously wealthy closer relatives in diverse fields.
Brainless, foul-smelling and hateful creatures, who can't be trusted not to shit wherever they stand. And the noise that they make is really offensive as well. The donkeys next to them are quite cute, though.
A 'morning roll' is kind of a different thing from your standard issue 'bread roll', though - bit more robust on the outside, which makes it better for containing hot food on the go. Kind of the opposite of a brioche, which is a waste of bread if I've ever seen it.
Well, there's your problem. You've plugged a Romantic Robot into the place where your Kempston joystick should be. Never going to win at Daley Thompson's without perfecting your waggle. Also, the Speccy will probably crash from hammering the keyboard if you try.
Midnight Resistance is one of those weird games where the first level is the hardest; it's not too bad to finish it if you do the first bit. Fair play on Robocop, though - that's a hard game.
Typing this from a Tuxedo Pulse Gen 3 - wanted a laptop that was suitable for development with a few more pixels at a reasonable price. Superb machine - recommend to anyone.
I find that the blazing bulls are fairly trivial if you just keep the "run" button held down and do your "running sideways" attack on them - makes Sekiro do a twirl. The first one takes a little while but you're not in much danger; the second one is much quicker, because you hit harder by then, and there's less scenery for it to get stuck on and so it's a lot more predictable.
There's not really any other enemy in the game where doing that move is a good idea; certainly not just that one move repeatedly. Am wondering whether it was a slightly misguided attempt to teach players the whole moveset? The ogre's "dodge throws and parry attacks" lesson is pretty brutal for the point in the game where it is. Although if you're playing again from the start, he is a joke that you're likely to take down in one go from muscle memory. Perhaps the real lesson is to go exploring, ring the wee bell and find a weapon that's very effective against him?
https://shadps4.net/ to be precise. Differs from other emulators by not emulating the hardware, but by reimplementing the API, from what I've read. More like Wine than eg. https://rpcs3.net/
