“So it seems patients are also being denied their legal right to opt out”
Based on what legislation? The NHS, Police, government, councils etc. have a broad exclusion in the UK DPA/GDPR so don’t have to legally offer you an opt out under those, nor do they have to do any other things within them.
For voice traffic latency is extremely important. It’s also important for literally any interactive task. Users of systems with higher orbits know that it sucks, and we’ve all moved to Starlink because it doesn’t.
Add to that that the higher you go the slower it gets and the less users you can support and it’s clear why Starlink is winning. You can’t beat physics, even 5G needs more towers closer to users to support higher speeds.
You may want to expand on what point you think you’re making. Higher or its were done for years with fewer satellites, they were not commercially viable due to low bandwidth, high latency and low supported user numbers. Low orbits fix these things, hence the need for more satellites. It’s the only way to achieve the goal of high bandwidth, high user count, low latency and therefore profit.
You’re not designing the infrastructure you’re doing an architecture diagram. Some of us remember designing infrastructure, you may be too young.
Amazon have to design the power, racking, structured cabling, cooling, storage, routing, resilient connectivity, physical security. That stuff would soak up millions when building a data centre even with a competent team. Public projects could push that to billions.
I thought that. About 8000 tests a day. A Raspberry Pi could handle that, make it two for resilience and we’ll locate them on east and west coasts with diverse fibre.
From £700M that’ll leave…about £700M profit.
Even if you buy a building to house each in, you still have about £700M left over
I’m reading this as the start of vastly increased salary/consultancy rates for skilled C and C++ devs. This happens any time you “kill off” a computer thing. COBOL, anything IBM original, Netware, all have niche and in demand skills and C will be no different. I’ve even seen some pretty desperate asks for Delphi.
Encryption doesn’t help since the host has the key to decrypt even if you use on prem key stores. If your key isn’t held in their cloud then you can’t use your dafa in their cloud. If it is, they can access your data.
Unfortunately hosting providers write the software so if you think they don’t have access you are mistaken.
“when the system doesn't work properly”
To determine this they would first need to define the purpose of the system. So far we just have “we want ID” and that’s not really much of a dream techies can aim at with success criteria.
Obviously we all know the success criteria involves giving billions to their mates and has nothing to do with ID.
Sounds like the iPhone bug that’s been there forever. Set a timer for two minutes and do nothing. The timer never goes off because the phone is busy locking itself after two minutes so it just cancels the timer.
If Apple can ignore it with their user base then I don’t see why Microsoft should be more proactive
A VPN changes literally nothing except the breakout point to the Internet. Even if it did, you’re now fully trusting a dodgy VPN provider rather than a dodgy ISP.
Encrypt your traffic end to end. Unless the VPN breakout is on your network it’s not adding anything. Even if your VPN does break out on your network, end to end encryption is neither hard nor expensive so you still ought to do it otherwise you’re one network issue away from data leaks.
Trust in hardware, yes. Because the affected Intel chips aren’t supported.
It may not help with whatever issue you clearly have, but that specific issue, which was extremely important to their business customers (who, by the way, pay the bills for all this).
You losing trust because you don’t get updates on affected hardware and didn’t bother to investigate the reason? That’s on you.
If you get 1gig for a minute every 10 minutes as the lonely kuiper satelite flies by your average speed will still be 100Mb. If they ever got a second user you may well be stuffed too.
Even Starlink speeds are dropping with their enormous fleet as user numbers climb. You can’t beat physics when using wireless transmission.
Actually they have a whole list of domains for this, contoso is just the well known one. There’s an internal website with a full list and how to use them. The domains are spread across industries, and for those in the know, contoso is very often used inappropriately.
They don’t all operate the same way in terms of this specific question. Some have signing solutions which entirely defeat spoofing. There are multiple problems to solve here yet we seem to be using terms interchangeably. Jamming is common to all due to the low power signals, spoofing is very much a solved problem (not for civilians, but it is solved).
It’s not a security issue, CAN is an open standard and well documented and has been for many decades. It’s by design, and unless some numpty adds a WAN there’s no sensible way to remotely do anything.
It’s a serial bus so local access is trivial, again by design. I’ve no idea why this person didn’t use the built in port that every car comes with, other than trying to sound clever and hackerish. You can literally buy the connectors online.
None at all. CAN literally consists of devices that send an ID and state. This means buttins can be assigned to anything, and you can add buttons anywhere. All you’d need to do is create a translation layer if using a standard controller.
CAN is also just serial comms, so to connect you can use a type of serial port. It’s not quite correct but RS232 ports work just fine.
The article made it sound harder than it is.
Can we please stop saying suicide? There’s no evidence he committed suicide, and that conclusion was thrown out at a later inquest. It’s just as likely it was an accident but more likely he was murdered by the government due to being gay and a “threat to national security”.
It’s an insult to his memory to continue the suicide story at every opportunity.
