Maybe they should outsource?

Have they thought about outsourcing their e-mail system upgrade to someone? Capita for example? :)

On the plus side, it will work on macOS.

I am sure those two Edge on MacOS users will appreciate the feature. :)

Pounds per square inch? Really? No jubs per football fields? :)

Re: Store data in the EU

Exactly, we only know what Microsoft (and others) have released publicly. We cannot know what happened behind the scenes and how many requests they decided to silently comply with.

FTFY

US secretary of state Mike Pompeo European Data Protection Supervisor announced a “Clean Network plan” he says offers a “comprehensive approach to guarding our citizens’ privacy and our companies’ most sensitive information from aggressive intrusions by malign actors, such as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) US of A”.

Re: Ah IT 'managers'

Cybersecurity training, day 1, lesson 1 - don't use public cloud. :)

Obviously...

I have and will in the future use Zoom software exclusively!

I do recognize that there is a discrepancy between the commonly accepted definition of what I just said and what I actually have done and/or intend to do.

5 years?

So they will simply wait until the equipment has reached it's usual EOL and then replace it with something not made by Huawei. Sounds sensible, but I fail to see where is the 200m cost since this is something they would do anyway...

FTFY

"THE US cannot be trusted to tell the truth or protect the interests of others,"

There, fixed that for you :)

Obligatory XKCD comic...

Not much left then...

Don't expect to see this in mobiles because they don't have the required cooling. Unless you are willing to let your mobile phone preheat itself to 60 degrees C and then wait a couple of hours for it to cool to room temperature this will have no impact in your daily life.

Recharging a car in 10 minutes will have enormous power requirements, the infrastructure and production to support this on a mass scale is just not there yet and might not be within the next 10 to 20 years. Remember, electricity needs to be produced somehow and then brought to the recharging station. Recharging a Tesla to 80% in 10 minutes will require about half a megawatt of power, now imagine a recharging station in the middle of the desert with a dozen cars recharging at the same time...

Not much left then...

I am sure someone will get that password, one way or another. :)

Obligatory XKCD

"Two key areas are how well a country protects its citizens' data and how much technology companies are mixed up with military and security agencies."

... if we rule out Cisco too.

It has a jack...

Just look at the picture in the article, you can see the jack to the left of the USB port...

Inquiring mind wants to know...

What about SPECTRE? Can we expect that to get solved in the new processors?

It takes very dedicated programmers to create code with so many bugs. Kudos to Acrobat! :)

Yawn

So this dangerous exploitable hole I am going to get pwned through requires physical access? I am going back to sleep, tyvm. :)

Wait, does this mean Apple responded to a Reg request for comment? That is bigger news than these flaws. :)

The v4 generation seems to have been skipped.

This is not surprising, the Chinese dislike number 4 and often skip it, even as a floor number. This is similar to us skipping number 13 in hotels etc.

Why not use swallows instead of pigeons? European for normal thumb disks and african for the larger 2.5" variety...

It's simply Nuts.

There is something missing...

I am disappointed with the lack of sharks in this article. El Reg you can do better than that. :)

"population growth"?

How will AI advances influence population growth? Or is this the other, more mechanical and heavily armed kind of population growth? :D

Audit? Nah...

I doubt this has anything to do with code audit. This looks like a standard vulnerability, probably found by a customer who used some sort of network vulnerability scanner or some other piece of software which used the all zero MAC address causing his switch to crash.

"It sounds terrible. I'm going to have to go to another room."

So it does have potentially good side effects?
