Yes and we don't like it.

^^ This guy bribes.

As an actual EE who has designed mainboards, this smells of hyperbole to the N-th degree with a dose of misinformed. As another user said, you had a bunch of dead unmonitored CMOS cells, then lost power. Then realized that all your BIOS configuration parameters where lost and systems wouldn't boot from disk, likely because whatever chosen disk / raid controller configuration was wrong too then. We test mainboards to destruction with simulated faulty power supplies. The CMOS coin cell is so far down the failure chain, your mainboard has released the magic smoke several times over before the CMOS cell on the 3.3V rail with multiple protections is a single failure. I have exploded and burned CMOS coin cells before, but not before the board was a wreck. I'm talking catastrophic failure that it's a bigger concern to the system operators health, forget the board.

No. You appear to have a fundamentally flawed understanding of the system at hand.

But 10 years is also the rated lifetime for CR2032 cells. Those made in 2022 will definetly still be good to use in 2032. I've had some last as PC CMOS ram backup cells since the late 90's and they are not rechargeable, nor being charged in the system they are in.

> Commercial egg-laying hens aren’t going to be let anywhere near a rooster, so you’re not going to get fertilised eggs from the store.

That's why it's rather obvious when they are fertilised. Because you actually will often have to consciously go out of your way to ask for fertilised eggs, usually specifically for chicken breeding purposes.

Sorry for that I could have made it more obvious. Haha.

You have actually just demonstrated that you have no idea how chicken reproduction works. None of the eggs you can buy at the store are fertilised. It is rather obvious when they are. You cannot develop a chick embryo in unfertilised eggs. You just get rotten eggs if they lie around for too long and get warm.

Yay for data input assumptions.

Then there are also other systems where entering certain characters can simply cause them to be stripped from the stored data.

Or names with apostrophes being cut off or completely breaking the system.

Sometimes basic things like umlauts are even rendered unprintable.

So you didn't read it.

Are you sure you don't have a configuration error on your end? Time set correctly etc?

Maybe some MITM on your network? Dodgy SSL certs in your OS?

Blogspot is a google operated domain after all.

They can't really "afford it" in the common sense of it. Russia is just so big and has so much left over hardware and factories from soviet days as well as people with the know how that things will get done alone almost automatically by scale and diversity of options. Somewhere there's always someone able that's willing to do it for less.

Its difficult to explain this concept/phenomenon, but Russia just works very differently compared to other countries and has a lot of underpaid skilled people, information and older tech to fallback on.

You could have said that without the snark.

Correction: *anything "non-human".

That's just an insensitive comment of yours. As if it being just an "animal" somehow means that it was less of a loss or tragedy. Because its "just" an animal should we not compare numbers to numbers for perspective? Isn't that a rather silly stance to have when talking about deaths in the first place?

Humans are an animals too, the most numerous in fact. We should show some empathy and understanding in regards to all life. Not separate and somehow feel indifferent about anything "non-animal".

486 or Pentium 90, what this game was made for.

AFAIK its load store unit does plenty speculation.

"Intel has a bug that lets some software gain access to parts of a computer’s memory that are set aside to protect things like passwords."

Seems like very little got through to the media about the details regarding this flaws effects and costly workaround.

It's worth mentioning that MTC Namibia (A mobile provider) does not do this.

This is also the case in Namibia. Telecom Namibia is also running a transparent proxy. If you ever make an HTTP request followed by an invalid HTTP request over an un-encrypted connection the invalid request (Say GET / HTTP/NKD instead of GET / HTTP/1.1) will get filtered before reaching my server.

I have however as of yet not seen them injecting JS or other content into HTTP pages.

Half Life 3 will be made, in about the same way humanity will solve climate change. Which comes first remains to be seen.

So where do we opt out? How do we keep the X letter agencies from mining all the data? Thinking about this, the whole smart city idea always seems like a game of Russian roulette in Pandora's Box to me. Once we start something like this, there is no way of going back.

I know that the main goal of this project is to reduce Co2 output and use energy more efficiently. See http://www.greendigitalcharter.eu/wp-content/uploads/2012/05...

But why network an entire city? Arguably a smart power grid would be the first option instead of what appears like a wireless network in monitor mode. Although as of right now it appears as if the network is only open for researchers http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/04/02/bristol_smart_city_r...
