Probably. But I didn’t want them dealing with being cut off. They can do what they want but since it’s a dorm you can be sure they’ve had these conversations before

This is for the A7 but may show you how to turn off wifi on yours if the UI is the same

Depends on whether you can adjust the Tx level but then you run into FCC level stuff that most people avoid (since boosting it is a huge issue with interference)

But this is a dorm. A shared environment with close proximity.

If everyone had their own Wi-Fi transmitting at normal power there would be too much interference that even channel hopping wouldn’t fix it.

Not to say that there can’t be some middle ground but the Wild West attitude isn’t kosher either.

Rf interference. Similar to having multiple microwaves running near your router, or those old rf based baby monitors.

Congested the 2.4 or 5gz spectrum with noise causing noise and retransmits or outright stopping the wifi from working.

If you have an old radio that does AM find a AM channel that isn’t broadcasting and bring it near your router. You can actually “hear” the noise those things are putting out.

Note that hiding its SSID won’t turn off the wireless broadcast which would be adding to the “noise” in whatever channel it’s using.

In this case you would want to turn off the wireless itself

Seems reasonable. This is exactly what the FAA should be doing and is why flying is so safe since every crash and accident becomes an opportunity to learn and adjust procedures to minimize the risks.

Let’s find out why it failed and then identify metrics for when a module can be reused.

How long before there’s a discovery request for all recall data for a time period and companies start screaming about the risks with recall?

It’s true. And it’s worse since people worry about the security of the OS but download large batches of suspect apps and games.

Media and games. Only loaded and run when I’m using them.

Package dependencies? How much of that is loading at runtime? How many security holes and exploits is some sub, sub, sub package going to introduce?

Which, if ChatGPT has or is getting parity with human writers then, by definition, it’s going to be impossible to tell the difference.

And if it can tell the difference it’s either going to prove their product is substandard, they can identify snippets of copyrighted material they have in their training set, or falsely identify people whose content and styles their training on.

I’m not sure what the angel here is for OpenAI but it’s problematic to their brand and, potentially, legally no matter how they go about it.

True. This does allow for persistent recurring infection post clean and cold boot.

Interesting flaw to keep an eye on.

Quarterly reports demand that line go up.

The line must always go up.

I think Secure boot is intended to check that the boot loader itself is signed.

This is a way to mitigate viruses and malware that infects the boot loader so it can reinstall itself if it’s removed by AV, or something else.

If you can create a boot loader that is signed in such a way that secure boot can’t tell it’s invalid then you can do some nasty stuff.

Closest analogy I can think of is verisigns private key being leaked and there’s no fast and easy way to revoke and replace it without wreaking havoc on currently installed OS’s machines.

Considering Gamers Nexus track record it’ll be interesting to see how this works out

Intel’s CPUs Are Failing, ft. Wendell of Level1 Techs

I wonder if it’s still used for POS such as registers?

So we’re back to PXI PXE? Everything old is new again.

Neat technical problem to solve though just for fun

What about good ole Big Top Beer at my local Raytown market

Not sure. Like any field I suspect there’s specialties including people who do research/modeling vs consuming that data and advising based on it.

Code and snippets to analyze data work well when you can send chunks of it to multiple servers (think analyzing the effect of weather patterns).

Since a lot of that stuff is running on Linux (similar to cloud computing) it makes sense that people that write function/scripts/utilities would already be comfortable in that environment and use it as their daily driver.
