You're wrong, go see my reply to the other guy. What a miserable lot you two make.

He said, before being rude & condescending. Here, would a chat bot pick apart your miserable comment like this?

Oh no I mixed up social media handles I must be a chat bot

Huh? I'm complaining about the very real technology present in the Realtek chips that enables any moron with access to a web browser to send firmware-level commands anywhere in the world.

Did you even read the article?

> about how the author and article are great

Are you a chatbot? I didn't even sing about the article being great, I asked if anyone had a real consumer application for the tech presented as an attack vector in the article.

Go outside. Talk to a human being. I'm betting it's been a couple years for you if you're this bad at not only misjudging intention but going straight to "this must not be a human being, only a bot would respond with something I do not wholly understand".

Again, what a miserable comment.

Calling them 'essentially bricks' is calling them functionless, which they are not.

The iPhone 5/5c was released nine years ago. I'm just not crying for it. If your app dev isn't updating for iOS 15, you're stuck with the old version anyway. Sorry your decade-old device can't use the latest technology.

It appears to be related to sign-in flow[1], but may not affect signing in via Google.com or other Google-hosted services directly. It's the API for "Sign in with Google", far as I can tell here.

When Jason Snell posts on HN, I sit up in my chair.

Great read. That "technology" included in Realtek is absolutely bonkers -- who asked for that functionality at a consumer level? No one.

Not too sure you love IT there, my friend.

Also sounds like you haven't risen above the first couple tiers of any given organization, because a lot of your complaints are bottom-of-the-ranks type stuff:

> non-sense tasks, no trust, social pressure to prove my skills

Are you company hopping like everyone else your age like a damn jackrabbit?

What an awful headline.

If you're buying this webcam, you're buying an external mic. Onboard microphones for cameras have always been awful, this is not news.

> Distribution is a low margin business.

Hard disagree. It's low margin if you're doing it wrong.

Hank's Trucking exists. It's called FedEx Expedite, among many other expediting companies. You should check things out before your fingers type a check that facts can't cash.

The owner/creator of Nexus Mods is an abusive one toward his users.

Years back, there existed a simple Nexus Mod Manager for well... managing your mods for installed games. It was a simple tool that did the job well.

At some point the owner of Nexus Mods decided/needed to monetize, so he started jamming ads and slow connections to non-premium customers.

Soon after, he deprecated Nexus Mod Manager for Vortex. Go search their own forums if you want to see the nightmare, but "installing" a mod via Vortex takes around 9 clicks, doesn't always install the mod properly, and generally is slower than molasses. It's essentially an app wrapper over a poorly written website.

No shock at all they're making yet another anti-user, anti-creator move. They generally seem to have a grudge against their own community.

The entire "mod" community around gaming is like this as well. ModDrop was created as a response to the onslaught of ads/premium/bad stewardship and became the very thing it hated.

I don't code professionally because I know I can't hack it at that level. I wouldn't want to code for 40+ hours/week, it would drive me mad.

I program insofar to make things on Raspberry Pi, manage my home automation tasks in Linux, although I'm sure professionals would label what I'm doing "scripting" in some instances.

Oof. You can confirm it pretty much everywhere. Qualifying just ended for the Austrian Grand Prix, and many people will/would be paying attention to their phones for news relating to that.

Someone at FOM/Liberty Media (holder of the commercial rights for Formula 1, thus the responsible parties for the app)[1] is not having a pleasant Saturday evening in Austria.

A head or two should roll up the IT chain, but who knows ... might be a credential leak. An event was held at this same track last weekend, an oddity of the COVID-affected race schedule for the sport. Perhaps they re-used some credentials from last week, that were leaked/identified in the layover between race weekends.

> The so-called compiler implemented uses the dumbest possible implementation

I love remarkably blunt comments in code. The Quake III code that caused the uproar recently with Copilot probably being the most famous example.

Interesting to apply this to the logistics industry, specifically with freight movement costs. A company might use Joe's Trucking for 80% of their shipping needs, but Joe doesn't have trucks that can take a last second shipment to an important customer. So the company calls Hank's Trucking, who specializes in those last second fulfillment.

Both Joe and Hank enjoy the account because both fall into the upper-right quadrant in the article: they're tuned to keep the company's account high margin, and the "drop size" (volume of shipments in this instance) works fine for both outfits. Joe wouldn't want to only do two moves a week for the company, and Hank wouldn't want to do 50.
