The cleaning cycle doesn't complete during the night, usually because the hopper is too full, and when they come in the next day they just run the 4 hour cleaning cycle multiple times until the cryptic error goes away.
As the video showed, when someone invented an add-on for the machines to display human readable error messages, they got attacked with a lawsuit.
His personality really comes out in this statement:
and will drop by the office occasionally, saying he plans to be in the Bay Area "on a regular basis" as travel restrictions ease.
Anyone who thinks they can jump this many time zones 'regularly' and be just as productive, either doesn't travel often, is deluding themselves, or is trying to paint a false picture of themselves to the public.
What I don't get is why are people directly connecting these devices to the internet?
The logs in the article show these devices being accessed from the internet.
There have been many people in this forum mentioning how their data is gone, and I'm doubting most of the people here are directly connecting their devices to the internet .. which makes me feel like there is something more going on.
They likely could have kept running the pipeline without incident.
I imagine when the government stepped in they decided to dial their procedures up to 10 and they plan on making an example out of this incident and the perpetrators.
the ad-fraud accusation is my biggest concern as well.
they provide no information or clues leaving the author to guess.
the author guesses that somehow someone extracted their identifiers from the apk.
google comes back and says more clearly that it's something to do with how the ads are positioned, essentially accusing them of trying to trick people to accidentally click.
this information should have been provided before the appeal, and google gains literally nothing from hiding this information from the author.
the malware claims have more validity, but the way they handled the ad-fraud claim is inexcusable.
It's actually much more interesting than this person describes.
It turns out this company makes machines for lots of other fast food chains but McDonald's is the only one with this problem, and it seems to be intentional to allow Taylor to milk mcds franchisees.
It gets stranger when you realize that the majority of the problems seem to stem from the manufacturer purposely designing their machines to prevent their customers from operating them properly to inflate the need for maintenance .. even going so far as to silence an invention that allowed the machine to display human readable error messages to allow the operator to know things like if the hopper was too full to run the cleaning cycle.
I lost many bitcoin early and predicted them to be valuable.
The issue with someone security conscious like me is that, although you can make many backups, you have to secure each of those backups. The more copies you have the more opportunities for someone to attack, so every backup needs to be fully secure.
Eventually I did such a good job of securing them that I locked myself out.
