There’s usually a fuse under the dash labelled with “DCM” or “MAYDAY” or “MCU” or something like that. If you pull that fuse out, it’ll cut the power to the transmitter unit (4G/5G module) and kill all of this creepy shit at the source.
It’s unlikely but not impossible. I’ve been using PM with a custom domain for about five years now, and never thought too hard about leaving.
In an ideal world, a company like ProtonMail would be cooperatively owned by the workers and paying users, sort of like a credit union.
Pragmatically, they’ve done fine stewardship of the service for the last decade or so they’ve been around. A big part of it is that their value proposition depends on stability and trust. But it could be better.
The bastards can never take away your shell script full of arcane and unreadable curl commands parsed by incomprehensible awk scripts!
They had a chance to re-route the CN & CP lines around the city 50 years ago, but did nothing because it meant the city was on the hook for the environmental remediation. I wouldn’t hold my breath for anything to change.
In my opinion it points to a more dangerous thing, “continuous delivery” software mindset seeping into safety critical systems.
It’s fine, good even, that web developers can push updates to “prod” in minutes. But imagine if some dork could push largely untested control system updates to your car’s ECU… it’s one thing for a website site to get a couple errors, but it’s a very bad thing if it makes your steering wheel stop working.
Unfinished products make more money, and it’s high time a consumer protection law clamped down on this.
Anybody who’s ever exposed any service to the internet knows this as the “background radiation” of the net. My boxes get thousands of random connection attempts per day. The best practice for years has been to use keypairs and/or VPNs. Friends don’t let friends expose RDP to the web.
Pearson was always a garbage airport, but it’s gotten so much worse since 2020. I hope the workers get all they demand and more.
Going to go against the grain a little here and say, why bother? If you already have a background in Linux, that will get you further in your career much faster. My education was 100% windows/cisco, but I haven’t touched either in the better part of a decade since I’ve been working with mostly “web stuff” where Linux dominates.
Invest the time you would spend slogging through learning Active Directory and grinding MCSE into something useful like Docker, ansible, bash, infra-as-code, etc. It’s more fun, and it’ll make you way more money!!
I guess this is the next chapter in the endless middle-east war. The British & French got exactly what they wanted when they drew up those borders. It’s truly tragic how many people are going to die in the next decade because of religious and nationalistic despots and their egos.
Police should be required to hold malpractice insurance, just like every other “profession” that has inherent risk to public safety.
Yep. I did both of my tests on manual vehicles, one a VW hatch and the other an old farm truck, simply because it’s what I had available. Under the UK/EU system I guess I would have an extra endorsement, but it makes absolutely no difference in Canada.
As long as there’s no consequences for this kind of Pinkerton shit, it’s only going to get worse.
