That's not really how AWD works. It shouldn't work any different than FWD or RWD. And all of them will be overpowered by the 4-channel ABS and so won't make any difference.
4WD (with some diffs locked) could be massively different. An automatic 4WD car will unlock the diffs when you press the brake so the ABS can work better. But an older style/simpler system where you put it in "4H" and locked the center diff will not do so.

Oh, it's a lot pricier now that that the 2023 Bolt is $26,600. It's almost twice the price.
I didn't know the AWDs were more in demand. I like AWD, but it bums me out to give up the range. 300 miles (or 500km) is kind of a magic number to me.

There are a LOT of guns which are exactly AR-15s but not from Armalite/Colt. So they aren't AR-15s. They are AR-15 style guns.
I don't really think it's more communicative to say PA-15 if it's one particular brand. Then many people won't know what it was at all.
I don't see what's wrong with this.

The other prop did more of that. Draftkings instead had ads running saying that their prop would benefit tribes that don't have casinos ("non-gaming tribes") more than the other proposition.
Which is true I suppose. But it didn't have a lot of money for that. Or for the homeless (as they claimed). It was really mostly for them.

Reply to comment by DBDude in Splashdown! NASA's Artemis 1 Orion capsule lands in Pacific to end epic moon mission by glawgii
Falcon Heavy is not powerful enough for this mission.
It could do an unmanned-style mission, especially with a smaller payload. But with the power it has it would just take too long to get to the moon and back for humans to put up with. So it can't do this mission.
Which is why it won't be used for Dear Moon. And for the landing it will (or is slated to, Starship might take over) take parts up to the Lunar Gateway. Because it is not an issue if those parts take a long time to get there.
Right now SLS is the only rocket large enough for this mission. Starship will likely change that once it's ready.

No. I'm not.
They whiten data because if you don't, if the data has far more 0s than 1s (or vice versa) then it creates a local imbalance in charge level on the disk (or NAND sector). If the local imbalance is large enough it affects other data nearby (that's how magnetic fields work).
So as I said, all data is encrypted at rest now. So, as is nearly always the case for security the real question comes down to key management, not "whether it's encrypted".
E2E would mean that the keys are generated by the client each time it connects. And then presumably it is not written down (it better not be). So no one can steal drives and end up with the keys.
Is this the case for your idea of putting other encryption at rest on top but without E2E? Is it adding appreciable security?

> Apple will definitely be concerned about physical server theft, yes. Virtually all modern cloud platforms use encryption at rest to protect against this.
All data is encrypted at rest now. Because whether it is stored on SSD or HDD the data in encrypted by the storage device to whiten it. The question then comes where are the keys? For a drive the whitening keys are on the drive, you steal the drive you get the keys. So that encryption at rest does nothing for you.
So the question is does other additional encryption at rest you put on top do anything for you? It depends. If they steal enough drives they get your keys as well as the data. So the encryption at rest nothing for you.

A breach of a single database host isn't even going to tell you who the data is associated with.
> It could be decrypted in stream. User authenticates into the system, it then grabs the encrypted data in the database, decrypts it outside of that host using their key and sends them the decrypted data.
Yes, it could be. It hardly matters. Unless it is E2E the key to decrypt it is there on the host that sends it. They just compromise that host instead.

You're seriously concerned about stealing drives physically?
And the data is not likely stored as files in a filesystem. But instead of a more capable database.
> but they will be stored and handled separately and likely very securely.
If they are employable on every use then they have to be at hand. You're thinking they can hack far enough in to get to everything on the machines but the keys?

What does "encrypted" even mean in this case?
If it's not E2E then the information needed to decrypt it is on their servers. So does it really matter if it is "encrypted"?
It's really unlikely the Fappening was due to someone compromising Apple's servers. Compromising their servers and then stopping at that?
Paris Hilton's password was the name of her dog. Social engineering is very powerful on people who aren't trying to secure their accounts.

As general purpose computers. So many devices you use are linux machines. And some of those security issues affect them.
For example my WiFi base station appears to be a linux machine.

Somewhat larger. 2.3L base. 2.7L available. And in the Bronco Sport: 1.5L, 2.0L available.
Really hard to tear down people on here for a stupid thing Ford did.
Naming the Bronco Sport that was designed to create a confusion (association) with the other Bronco. Ford is reaping what they sowed.

A recall is a campaign to rectify a safety defect.
Software issues count as much as anything else. It means the car has a safety defect and you should be sure to get the fix on your car. Whether through software update or otherwise.
