Surely one could use the same exploit to restore the original boot code as the malware used to corrupt it

That says you cannot replace individual broken cells in a Tesla pack. That doesn’t say you can’t replace the pack

Aren’t all the cells worn in a ten year old battery?

My car wouldn’t have done that. Had I fallen unconscious it would either follow the road or stop

But that’s also not because it’s electric.

Get custom tips

This might even provide cover for those with real nude photos circulating

However, I would say when talking about Linux specifically, there is a high chance that people talking about stuff being broken are people breaking stuff.

I’m sure you’re right. It used to be complicated to set up printers, bluetooth, audio, but even then once set up they were fine. Now all those and just about anything else you need to manage on the machine has an easy GUI

My wife’s computer runs Linux and she’s never had to use a terminal (she’s not a techie type)

For the UDP broadcast, you should be able to catch and change them with simple firewall rules, you’d catch packets with a destination address of the broadcast address and send them to a chain that rewrites the destination

Alt+F4

There is nothing you can’t uninstall on Linux. Linux distros, let alone desktop environments, really can’t qualify as bloat

There are even enough mainstream distros to let you choose one that meets your needs with little or nothing you need to trim

Lots of people will spend a few hours then several tens of minutes monthly or so finding out how and then disabling the ads after each update

Win+L to immediately lock a windows machine. You can get the logout dialogue with alt+F4

Now that Linux can run pretty much all the games I play on the PC I don’t think I’m going to have much use for windows at home anymore

So throw an error at runtime on that macro, most workbooks aren’t the target of a macro

They said ~/

I don’t think there’s any protection for the current user’s home directory

That’s a bit much, perhaps though they should use a real mode OS

Yeah, there’s a Debian implementation of GNU/hurd. Debian recommend you run it in a VM

The Linux kernel (the part that gives Linux the name) is antithetical to Linux philosophy? I could understand it being contrary to GNU philosophy

That’s not the case yet for fighters, just things like predator drones and global hawk

So really just surveillance and delivery of a couple of light air to surface missiles, most reported on for assassinations

It has nothing to do with the post. I believe the post inspired dkarma to work out that brand new argument that there are no alien bodies (at area 51 probably) because the aliens would use drones

Yes they can. Before AI the US was expecting to move to remote piloted jets
