Young Coding? Lack of Continuity on Legacy Heritage?

How Could a young coder, knowing almost nothing of Physics On-The-Field experiences, know that a sensor could behave -at rare, random moments- in such a way?

Retiring IETF veteran warns: Stop adding so many damn protocols

Every new Protocol...

Introduces stress to the Standard. Also to every already existent Protocol. The Standard was developed for a very specific Family of Protocols, and every new one -up to a certain point- BASTARDIZES, the former aims of the Standard.

ARM: Hold my beer, we'll install patches for your crappy IoT gear for you

"...baked-in hardware security..." The best kind [as long as the attack is not focused]. And the cheapest also. Only bad point is that full replacement when hacked -at least of the controller board- a requisite. Not going to talk about 'signature' narratives.

Re: My master plan {cough}

$h!t cleaning money. As insurance deposit. You have my seal of approval. How much that last USA IoT 'glitch' cost?

$h!t can be huge. Consortium solutions better suited to this scale of risk.

Re: "Product makers pay..."

"...Because it costs too much - and an ARM-managed support contract would boost the price even more."

So, all this play of late distill to "If you want it with bells and whistles, then it's going to cost [a lot] more".

Re: "Product makers pay..."

A better strategy, ARM Holdings?

Better sell a builders' solution over a virtual engine. And Consumers will be buying ARM security.

GDS shouting matches so severe team takes to talking by hand signals

Last, [but not least]...

The GDS hand signal?:

Looks like a job's job. Pay the girl decently.

First: That little flying Bro in the background, needs a flying space. Thanks a lot for thinking about his temp. That poor Savannah immigrant. Make sure Britain Visa is in order. [And don't force on Him the Language of the Empire].

Second: Body language has been the Standard of Excellency, Years millions. Face gestures as language a very local, Caucasian singularity.

So, if not wanting to interrupt, dance along. With your hands only, if seated round King Artur's Table.

Re: Lawsuit Time Again

Basic Parental filters are part of the OS itself [because those are part of profiles]. Ecosystem know and should submit.

Good AV packages include better parental filters. Even AV Houses have to align and restrict to OS directives. I'm with MS on this one.

On the other side of the issue: Without a stabilized and frozen protocol to interact with [Internet] profiles, amounts to privileged self-access.

Sophos Windows users face black screens after false positive snafu

Bottom of the stack is reclaimed territory, by OS Houses. On behalf of a healthy ecosystem this issue should be - finally (after 30 years) - negotiated.

"...and I had to dispose of a perfectly good laser printer." Actually they handle it through an 'universal printer driver', a la linux. But neither HP'er.

I had to trash a Samsung Laser failing after less than 600 color pages. The part -non covered by warranty- listing at more than half the actual price of a new one. Going Epson refill tank now. Just have to print a panchromatic test everyday, to keep jets clean. Two years without any servicing. Expecting at least another two.
