Reply to US convenes over 30 countries to address ransomware as hacks of hospitals, critical infrastructure continue by cobicoo
It's late 2022 and still considered perfectly acceptable that clicking on one link on the web can enable anyone to take over your computer, and from there, the organization's network.
Who could have possibly guessed this would become a massive problem.
And let's not mention how apparently at one point one could randomly leave a USB flash drive lying in the parking lot, and plenty of idiots would plug it in to their computers.

The correct approach was the original vision that had been considered the future before the delusion of autonomous self-driving only in the past 5 years: Every vehicle is connected to the cellular network.

Run a real Linux distro and one can keep getting updates as long as the hardware functions.

So is Europe going to have a recharging solution in 13 years for people living in apartments who own EVs, or is it going to be a feature that many will be forced to give up the idea of owning a car?

Reply to NASA announces its unidentified aerial phenomena - A 16-people team — including an astronaut, a space-treaty drafter, a boxer, and several astrobiologists — will soon begin its review of unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP) for NASA research team to examine mysterious sightings. by yourSAS
The real story is that the ability to keep improving a lot of legacy military hardware is collapsing in a manner disturbingly similar to the debacle occurring in Russia, where Russia had planned to produce by now something like 2300 T-14 Armata tanks, but wound up with near zero, and those tanks have a critical defect.
Why US Air Force is Making Aerial Refueling HARDER?
UAPs are UFOs is a convenient fiction that somewhere out there is superior technology. The hard truth is we can't even duplicate what we used to make 50 or more years ago, due to our inability to train actual leaders who can run projects.
Try to give a date when human astronauts will once again return to the surface of the Moon.

Reply to The cloud and 5G security apocalypse is only a matter of time, say cybersecurity experts. Western companies that have switched from Huawei for 5G have made choices that are even more vulnerable to hacking. by lughnasadh
The United States model for consumer devices is to charge per cellular device an expensive subscription. I am curious if for 5G the Chinese can overcome the problems of trying to achieve fully autonomous vehicles by simply hooking them up to 5G and remote controlling them if needed, which was actually everyone's vision for the future of autonomous vehicles until about 5 years ago.

Good luck pretending the West can stop proliferation of such technology.
