I would like to learn more about the “hack”. Although I doubt a CVE will be issued.
I can only assume it’s a simple serial console port left open, and a service technician toolset was leaked with the commands to open the cash dispenser.
I had a professor in undergrad who scheduled his classes as early as possible, around 7:30am, because he was an early riser.
Notoriously known for difficult assignments and exams, he would allow extra time for tests, if we showed up an extra half hour early. Who wants to take an exam at 7am?! There was a massive curve to everyone’s grades.
I’m somewhat surprised there aren’t more EV (DC) charging companies around.
There are dozens of various oil companies who have their own gas stations (subsidized by the oil industry?). Why don’t we see more electric companies building their own charging networks as well?
For those who are able, a pihole is a must when connecting a smart TV (or any other “smart” device for that matter) to the internet.
It’s shockingly disturbing the amount of traffic my Samsung TV produces, even when watching OTA stations. It easily queries Samsung cloud domains more than any other device on my network. Thankfully I am able to sinkhole all those requests without totally breaking tv functionality, but after paying hundreds of dollars for a television, I don’t need to give them any more of my data for financial gain.
I run a pihole on my network for exactly this reason. The amount of network traffic the TV attempts, even when on standby or watching over-the-air broadcast is astonishing.
I read this book a couple years ago, it’s great. In fact, I picked up the book 2nd hand with a note from the author inscribed on a cover page. Neat.
This book is especially interesting to anyone building systems where humans are required to interface with a computer on a “mission-critical” level.
It goes in-depth about the new type of electrical component-integrated circuits used in the guidance system. And more about other aspects of the navigation systems used on Apollo.
