And those new lightbulbs, can't forget those.

so I was having dinner with my family and my uncle (who is an engineer and has been using the non lovely lightbulbs for years) got into a really big argument over loving lightbulbs with his father in law. Watching an old rich white dude getting upset that someone would use cost efficient, energy efficient lightbulbs was loving bizarre. He's also very vocally for fracking.

what people aren't really realizing is that even farming is becoming extremely automated. Tractors are now GPS guided and poo poo you pretty much just sit in the cabin and monitor everything.

I thought his lawyer said he has been told there are no restrictions? Which probably means it's going to be a letdown.

Either way, it's wasting another week of Trump's time in office. Which is a good thing.

Just because Mueller hasn't asked him to make something off topic doesn't mean you can go into too much detail about things that are still classified.

No, because declaring that airgapped networks are safe, designing PLCs to accept input from unauthenticated sources because it's easy, using hard-coded root credentials to run software, and failing to design SCADA protocols with authentication mechanisms is retarded. But I agree - the energy sector is really the only one taking IT security seriously.

there is going to have to be legislation passed that requires companies that manage our nations infrastructure to have IT security.

The dude made some extremely poor choices: even against the advice of most. He's the embodiment of the white bro that would disregard warnings and do such a thing, but he didn't deserve that :ohdear:

nah, gently caress 'em. there are plenty of people in hosed up situations not of their own choosing that deserve sympathy and help but going to north korea and stealing ain't one.
