It seems so obvious that this right to repair is right that it's weird that a general law wasn't enacted already.

the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) either hasn't snapped shots of an area or the images weren't high enough quality to include.

Nah, everybody knows it's because these shots show alien ships.

Weird, there isn't Fujitsu in that list

a one-way ticket to Mexico

That could be a great title for a song.

Question: is the society safer if she is locked in a brig? Punishment is deserved, but a punitive justice system may not be the best system to protect society. Looking at what Norway does, maybe other countries should be inspired by this example.

GO-LoW will live in two clusters at the inherently stable Lagrange 4 and Lagrange 5 points

It doesn't seem a good idea to pollute these two points with 100,000 devices which will probably stay there forever.

Thank you Gartner

If you want to save the World, stop making kids, or no more than one per person.

Another demonstration that it isn't a good idea to have a device depending from an external service that can be switch off at any moment, transforming the device in a paperweight at best.

There are plenty of apps easy to use to manage security cameras. I used iSpy for a long time, now I simply use Synology's surveillance station, run directly from the NAS. To be free, be autonomous. Relying on others is wrong.

and "smart home products"..... ROTFL.

Because privacy laws, I doubt Tesla cars are allowed to record videos in public spaces in the EU, unless people's faces are blured.

Beware Tesla's owners, you may be the one legally responsible of illegal recording instead of Tesla

The automaker dissolved its public relations department three years ago.

What is the point to have a BS department anyway? Nobody takes PR seriously (or shouldn't).

So Agile is good to avoid security leaks and programming blunders. No kidding.

A DYI V1, just more precise. What a giant leap for humanity.

Ukraine will have to deal with that problem for a long, long time.

WW1 ended more than one century ago. Around Verdun, 900 tons of ammunition are dug out every year. The time estimated for the disappearance of all WW1 ammunitions buried in France is 700 years. Add to this the soil pollution because of the chemicals used in ammunitions, like perchlorates.

Anyway congrats to that Canadian company, it's acting for the greater good.

Police everywhere, Justice nowhere

Burn baby burn

What a bunch of arseholes.

And then they won't understand why people become angry and begin to throw rocks and burn things...

"when you run the same test repeatedly under identical conditions, you get results that might not be an exact match each time."

This is a wrong argument, unless the results varies up to 100%, something I doubt. Not getting _exactly_ the same result is not a problem if the variation stays in a limited boundary, let's say +/- 5%

What is important is to have an order of magnitude to compare the systems. Claiming it is not interesting is dubious, if not just a pure marketing BS.

Oh, the Humanity

I guess you will get a very original gift for you 'Pa when asking a program trained with the input of many. And how lovely, dedicated and caring it is to ask a program to think about the one who took care of you instead of yourself! I guessed you asked your assistant last year, so that makes one person you'll be able to fire. You're such a delicious person, really.

"for the benefits of humanity"

BS!

Shareholders != Humanity

"JZ" reminds me this Tex Avery's cartoon

If the AD was compromised, this could be very nasty. In that case, I doubt data are safe, and one could expect some of them being already exfiltrated.

Solution is easy: stop using twatter, and it will die at last.

Ladies and gentlemen, journalists, you know what you have to do.

As too often, the problem is people's selfishness. Too many think they are alone in the World, and can do whatever they want without taking care of others. As said above, it's hiding the symptoms, not treating the disease. Anyway; Paris will still stay an unpleasant city, with people always angry and rude, except in August when one third of Parisians are away, it makes the city more bearable.

Backups are the first step, testing them regularly is the second one.

Very smart indeed. And clever. And modest too.

Hey, Dr. McGee, I'm the real Elon, please make me a check of $49,999 before leaving and I will make you even smarter.

and appends an arbitrary hexadecimal encoded or plaintext JavaScript snippet

What was the use case to make hexadecimal encoded JavaScript possible in the first place?

Including external code provided by someone, somewhere without checking it meticulously is a big, big mistake.

Of course, it makes the projects easier, cheaper but nastier and potentially dangerous. It's a bad practice.

The IT firm, on its website, claims to help more than 200 companies protect their businesses

There's Boeing in that list... seems weird, doesn't it?

Rebarding cybersecurity: I see attacks on our firewall every day. I provide the information to organisations that attacks come from their infrastructure. I never had an answer, and attacks continue.

Couldn't organisations made responsible for this? If so, they would dedicate means to investigate and make their networks safer.

Twatter, Feckbook, TokTok and al. have all nefarious aspects. Banning one isn't the solution IMNSHO

Is educating young (and less young) people to develop a critical mind such an impossible task?

Airbus owns Airbus Cybersecurity (formerly known as Cassidian). Is it its interest to subsidise Evidian?

Airbus relies a lot on external consultants to do the job. That's maybe why it wants to save Atos, which pimps a lot of engineers' meat to Airbus.

Sounds crazy, but....

What about educating young people to help them to develop a critical spirit?

Nickname disliked, nickname adopted!

BASIC was cool to learn to make programs, 40 years ago.

VB is a huge pile of crap that no one should touch even with a long pole

"I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes."

Having your own brain hacked, that's the future!

Removing non-professional apps from professional devices is a good idea.

Next one: stop that nonsense that is BYOD in governmental agencies.

I find it difficult to have pity for the Accenture's droids.

And I won't have ever for Accenture as a whole.

SAP in the Cloud

It's not about customers needs. It's about investors greed. The message is clear: S4/HANA in the cloud will bring more money to investors. To make it possible, customers will pay more.

To add insult to injury, another message was clear for customers: "You can forget your fancy ERP customisations because that's not how it works in the cloud"

No surprise very few want to migrate, with costs and risks associated to the migration.

I really hope that either the CNIL or the Conseil Constitutionnel (Constitutional Council) will oppose this iniquitous law.
