Blackula69 posted:i don't know what that is but are you suggesting USB is secure out of USB, Firewire, and Thunderbolt, USB devices are the ones that can't initiate DMA so yes, it is more secure in that regard, you actually have to do tedious poo poo like exploit the host USB stack as opposed to just rifling through system memory for passwords and credit card numbers

gently caress it's like if you could go to mcdonalds and there was an option on the menu where you can go in the kitchen and prep your own big mac and get abused just like a real mcds employee and yet the price is twice as expensive and also this is the only option on the menu if you weren't fortunate enough to emerge into the world from the correct vagina because Just World Theory asdflhsligifd

at this point i'm surprised that they haven't just thrown in the towel and shipped a WebKit based browser with Windows 10, deprecating IE but on balance it's kind of a good thing. WebKit running on 90% of all browsers isn't a significantly better situation than Trident running on 90% of browsers. it's still a situation where the de-facto specification is 400,000 lines of C++ as opposed to an actual spec (see also that one time where some people tried to make SQLite part of HTML 5)

why do unedited transcripts of public figures make them sound loving borderline illiterate not illiterate, nonverbal? what do you call it when somebody seems strained whenever they are required to communicate in a manner more sophisticated than grunting and flinging poo (but enough about my posting) yeah ok real impromptu speech has its fair share of false starts and umms and aahs but you'd think the great and the good can string a loving sentence together on the first try at least some of the time.

no because if credit card companies are anything to go by it's because they always choose the state with the shittiest consumer protections to officially "do business" in and gently caress over everybody in the other 49 states from there much like how any time labour protection laws get passed manufacturers go "yeah we're just going to go ahead and opt out of that law by employing workers in a country where that law isn't a thing and then selling the finished product where it is" death to capitalism etc

if you maintained a codebase that had to interface with millions of maliciously awful programmers who relied on every tiny little undocumented aspect of it, saw a quick fix you could apply, and the risk/reward calculus for applying the cleanup is "i get fired" vs "absolutely nothing" which option would you pick?

there is an Iain M Banks novel where the badguy protagonists hijack like a 50km long seagoing ship and it crashes into a continent sized glacier or something and it takes them like 15 minutes to figure out what's in the process of happening and how truly hosed they are and that kinda seems like what is happening watching microsoft eat itself over the course of the past 5-10 years also shortly after that one of the dudes jumps off the edge of something rly tall and has some sort of anti-gravity jetpack that doesn't engage because lol you fuckin idiot you're on a rotating space station not a gravity well and then some other guy gets hella mad and sets off a backpack nuke that he's carrying around, idk how that fits in to this metaphor but i'm sure it can be made to anybody happen to know which book this is? it sounds like weird fever dream poo poo so maybe i just imagined that i read this book idk.

Raspberry Pi is cheaper than that and useful-ish, but as an embedded target, not a standalone computer. also everything about Arduino is just lol. Pay $50 for a 50 cent MCU with some pin headers added (and one of FTDI's comically overpriced USB-to-serial chips) reminder that FTDI is the company that got so loving butthurt about competitors cutting into their margins that they published malware drivers that caused criminal property damage to people daring to use drop-in replacement chips (no, a USB vendor ID is not a trademark, gently caress off)
