The headline misses the mark here IMO. This actually seems really great, and critically it appears to make it very easy to help fix errors in ISP provided data.
For my location, the data generally seems accurate. I will be following up with a local provider that claims to offer 1 gig fiber — that’s definitely news to me.
Those advertisements do universally have a disclaimer at the bottom of the screen along the lines of "Professional driver, closed course, do not attempt", at least in the US.
I really miss the simplicity of Rancher and their Cattle orchestrator circa 2016 or so.
Kubernetes is way, way to much for many teams to be able to operate properly. It can be done the right way, and it absolutely has it’s use cases, but I see so many people using it that really shouldn’t be.
Wikipedia is reliable to non-controversial topics only. Anything controversial is taken over by one side of the argument and only information that confirms that groups bias is allowed on the page.
I'd be cautious. One of the people editing these articles has extremely high Wikipedia privileges yet has publicly campaigned for the elimination of the site. There is absolutely no neutrality here.
I find myself growing more weary and concerned about Wikipedia's bureaucracy and politics. I'm not sure if I'm merely losing my naivete or the Wikimedia Foundation's integrity is in fact decaying.
Tangential (and not my area of expertise), but I do know that the Ingenuity helicopter uses an off-the-shelf Snapdragon 801 SoC. As I understand it that is very unusual for any projects like this, let alone something like the JWST.
It has always been a specific goal of the Mars rovers since the very first one, to use a faster/cheaper design and production process than traditional Nasa projects.
In essense, using more off the shelf parts for the Mars rovers is part of the science experiment.
This was true of the first rover (Pathfinder ‘97) but really hasn’t been true of rovers since then. Ingenuity was an exception re: COTS parts since it was experimental.
Pathfinder cost <$300M. “Better cheaper faster” became Discovery class missions, “capped” at $500M. Curiosity and Perseverance cost about $2.5B each. Not in the same category.
The feature isn’t “locked” — it’s just a configuration option on one of the control modules in the car based on the original build configuration. Keep in mind that a specific module might be used on many different models of car.
Why not just have the rear speaker outputs enabled at all times even on vehicles that do t have rear speakers? I suspect it’s as simple as VW not wanting to show the front/rear fader control for a vehicle where it isn’t applicable.
FWIW, this absolutely can be done yourself using VCDS or OBD 11 to update the module settings.
I suspect in this case the dealer wasn’t telling you the entire truth — it may be as simple as them not having an established procedure for this in house and wanting to just get you to go away.
So in practice, to exploit this someone would have needed to have been connected to the same local network at some point in time.
Yes, it’s still a vulnerability and Wyze should have actually responded in a reasonable period of time, but this really doesn’t seem like something to lose sleep over.
I get what you are saying, but long lived, highly destructive tornados like this one are downright terrifying.
Initial reports are that this tornado was three-quarters of a mile wide and traveled more than two hundred miles. That’s 150 square miles of near total devastation.
For my location, the data generally seems accurate. I will be following up with a local provider that claims to offer 1 gig fiber — that’s definitely news to me.
