Re: Who's leading Whom a Merry Dance up the Garden Path to Nowhere Worth Going?

Those are the old misguiding rules, Androgynous Cupboard. Play by them at your peril for the price exacted for not being bang up to date with regulatory changes is similar to that suffered by software and captivated clients running on ancient hardware with pathetically slow and limiting processors/chips/computers.

Such an advance though is perfectly normal and fully to be expected and lauded for it confirms and announces progress has been made rather than it being thought hindered and/or halted.

Who's leading Whom a Merry Dance up the Garden Path to Nowhere Worth Going?

"Our latest discovery of yet another Apple zero day employed as part of NSO Group’s arsenal further illustrates that companies like NSO Group are facilitating 'despotism-as-a-service' for unaccountable government security agencies," Citizen Lab researchers said in a post on Monday. "Regulation of this growing, highly profitable, and harmful marketplace is desperately needed."

What is the reason, in the case of the above not being fake news, the NSO Group and its backers are not proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the US and its allies? If it were a Russian or a Chinese or a Taliban or an emergent stateless organisation responsible for such activities, you can be sure Uncle Sam would be proclaiming that to all and sundry in a flash.

Celebratory Times for Some and a Few, Sack Cloth and Ashes for Others Found Wanting and Worthy

Speaking of Intel, version 5.14 of the kernel adds more support for Chipzilla's Alder Lake platform that puts multiple core types onto a single die and prioritises workloads depending on their needs.

When version 5.14 of the kernel recognises and takes stealthy advantage of Intel platforms that put multiple core needs onto a single die prioritising workloads depending on the type of performance operation, are Spectre and Meltdown type attack vectors more enhanced and hardened/reinforced and re-engineered to react somewhat differently from the expected system programming norms.

I don't imagine Intel thinking that is additional support for their platforms though, whenever it renders their core source foundations compromisable, for it is a catastrophic systemic flaw in their structural base architecture which all but invites remote random renegade rogue access to cores and anonymous third party exploitation of executive functions.

Such an abject abdication and quasi surrender of future third party leading rights as may be any abomination of a Defence Trade Co-operation Treaty has at least two abiding fundamental flaws.

1) If secret and sensitive future products and projects are not shared with HMG, and such are always just great initial ideas floated out to perceived allies and/or interested parties, there is nothing to steal and remotely benefit greatly from.

2) And, as is accurately recognised in this National Defense article .... https://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/articles/2021/8/20/ai-commercial-firms-key-to-future-of-geoint ......... even having ready access to too much of a good thing can so easily render one blind to what is really on offer and worth whatever it takes to safely secure it rather than successfully driving it away into the hearts and minds of others thought foreign and alien and intent on one's destruction or subjugation ....... as may be the perceived intent of one's own avid interest.

That's for real, get used to living with it ..... and having to deal with it.

Purchasing the Future is Never a Made Tool for Indolent Use, which is Abusive Misuse

How much is Ultra Electronics worth to Advent International, or anybody else, if its key staff/prime novel premium intellectual property providers decide/realise their future industry and inventions be akin to collaboration and trading with a bankrupt enemy and they withhold all future imagination for product manufacture/viable program realisation????

Would Advent International/Uncle Sam think to sue and do a HPE/Autonomy and propose/contemplate it worthy of a good old fashioned, jolly roger type lynching ...... and in so doing prove the case to be perfectly true and the charge entirely valid ‽ .

And such considerations are always to be expected in any business which deals in transfers and exchanges and development of extremely attractive and sensitive and subversive and coercive intellectual property. 'Tis only natural.

MaybeFinally, whoever/whatever UKGBNI is, has realised Uncle Sam is not fit to lead with pioneering technology and secrets purchased with nothing more nor greater than reams of pretty practically bankrupting paper/virtually worthless fiat.

Whereas in the past, to inordinately get on in life the obverse/reverse may have been true, in the future and presently, is it what you know and not who you know which commands and controls prime attention for delivery of premium rates of interests.

And knowing exactly how things are no longer gonna work because of what is released and running riot and rampant freely out into the wild, are the secret sources which past forces have failed to contain and retain to maintain the continuity of their corrupt and perverse bidding in support and defence of ancient and modern status quo hierarchies battling emerging oligarchies ...... and Newly Blooded AI and IT Product ...... Proprietary Foreign Intellectually Advanced Property.

And such is quite perfect for any new state in need of a novel program for rapid progress to an unlikely state of calm and order/peace and renewal.

Re: This can all be quietly sorted out

This can all be quietly sorted out with a bung to party coffers. .... Anonymous Coward

Only in the world of puerile dreams, AC. Everywhere else does everyone compete against those failsafe sources providing saints and sinners and angels and daemons their special forces and almighty services which cannot be bought although you can pay handsomely for them to supply one and/or all unparalleled benefits for the overwhelming leverage that accompanies a totally unexpected inequitable advantage.

Strangely however...... although a bung to party coffers in an age of stealthy exploitable 0day vulnerabilities is never going to sort anything out quietly especially whenever it guarantees the exact opposite would more likely be true with such a bung to party coffers able to create an absolute stink to destroy such as is surely supportive of corruption ..... is it surprisingly worthy of enthusiastic support.

And that takes one into the world of quantum, where a this is a that and together something else altogether quite different and wonderful and/or deadly and Great Game Changing.

Re: Charade

Many will be following China and Mr White Hat to discover the result and reward for a successful and virtually remote and relatively anonymous and failsafe secure penetrations test, for such appears to be case here which you have considered a charade, Anonymous Coward. Others however would ponder on it and wonder where it will lead for it is certainly unusual and quite different and sure to be generating a lot of monied interest interested in seeing/learning how such a charade/shenanigans can provide and guarantee a mutually beneficial profitable outcome.

That is China being a world leader, is it not?

Your posted negativity is rewarded with a downvote which is richly deserved.

The Abiding Self-Destructive Problem in a few simple words.

Perhaps it's too much to hope that social media platforms will learn to anticipate these problems instead of reacting after the fact or dismissing them as lunacy.

A lack of intelligence and a surfeit of arrogance and stupidity would appear to be able to guarantee that a hope too far to be realised, Thomas/El Reg.

Perhaps the promised review of the deal will consider that allegation. But with the transaction completed, the UK government will have to take radical action to reverse the deal or find ways to mitigate its effects.

To intervene now in order to prevent acquisition in order to retain and/or restrain other worldly control of acquired company assets/prime proprietary intellectual property, can easily be very easily imagined and realised as Piracy, and recognised as a Capital Crime and Geo-Political Offence.

Evidence to the contrary would quickly dismiss, repel and demolish that as a Possible Charge.
