E: Queen Combat's last post was like half an hour ago according to profile. Did you miss the name change or?

I missed the name change. And you're hilariously unfunny. I've never hit you for anything, and you seem to have a hard on for taking shots at me. I think you need to change your name to Viggen2.

That story is barely plausible. Okay so using BMC / IPMI is a known security issue but there's just a bunch there where you just have to ask "How the gently caress is that meant to work? How was not caught almost straight away?" Basic Supermicro QA would have caught that for instance.

But for how totally implausible that all sounds, in this case it's easily proved. If Bloomberg did its job, it should have some expert(s) on call that can tell you what motherboard, what chip / where on the board, what pinout, what it does, and how they arrived at those findings. That's the core of their story after all.

If Bloomberg does, just publish those technical details & call it a day, it can be verified and we can document what would have to be one of the best attacks. If Bloomberg doesn't, then it's bullshit.

The "Big Hack" thing is a big frontpage thoroughly-sourced story, and the big reputable US newspapers are generally pretty solid on stories of this magnitude. They're taking on the biggest companies in the history of capitalism and China with this story, so it would be extremely foolish to print a completely bullshit made-up story. Not to mention completely destructive to any kind of credibility for decades, probably dooming the paper.

That said, I'm not 100% convinced about it, and I'm sure they've got a number of details wrong or misinterpreted. But based on track record and the sources and evidence they claim to have, this is not nothing. I don't buy the denials from Amazon and Apple, they're deep in CYA damage control mode.

I'm certainly interested in seeing how this develops, and what the casualties are going to be. Either Bloomberg is committing suicide, or Supermicro is gonna get wrecked, along with A&A's security reputations.

E: Some very clever people at Hacker News are discussing it, this is the most plausible theory I've read on it.

Yeah, hilariously falling back on the comedy forum bit. I've never doxxed a loving person and even trying to say I did is a loving dick move. Yeah, I called the cops on Dave when he went on a suicidal spiral, deleting his social media accounts and posting a banme here saying he was taking the easy way out. Hilarious. Why don't you just bring that up 3 years after the fact.

There's some dickball here that is really loving with people's life, and for you to take shots at me blaming me for similar things is being an rear end in a top hat. At least when I'm an rear end in a top hat I own it. Your turn.

All Bloomberg has to do is publish the motherboard part numbers and independent people will be all over this in a blink. Given there's plenty of knowledgeable hardware people looking at the story and asking "How the gently caress is that possible?" they'll have those motherboard torn down and checked just to understand how and we'll get our verification quick.

"I need a handle man..."
Just got my Accord back from the mechanic. Previous mechanic didn't replace the rear caliper like he said and just unlocked it so it wouldn't rub. By doing this he also rendered the emergency brake useless. So yeah I have all new rotors, a new calipre (that actually works), and new pads! The ebrake works now too!

Also I'm getting the airbag computer replaced by the dealership because the part is under Honda lifetime warranty! It was the seatbelt sensor thing for the drivers side airbag.

So yeah all in all a good day. My mechanic also noticed that one of the headlights was out and instead of just replacing the bulb he soldered the wiring and put some silicon on the headlamp housing so it wouldn't leak. He didn't charge me for it or mention it I could just tell when I got it back.

That's an entirely different kettle of fish. Even if you take the three women accusers out of the mix and say you believe Kavenaugh, he still lied about his drinking and showed ridiculously poor self control and significant bias. Over all, that lack of temperament and showing of bias should be disqualifying.

Hell, I'd rather have larrymer on the bench. :D

If I showed up to a job interview drunk and started crying, I don't think it would go over well. I get the midterm election is a big motivator for his immediate appointment, but you could probably pick an equally suitable person out of a hat. Why do some people think this is a hill worth dying on?
