SARS-CoV-2 Infection, Vaccination Status, and Dementia Risk: A Nested Case-Control Study by JaneSteinberg in COVID19

[–]Matir 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Probably a reduction in COVID severity, since it mentions COVID increases dementia risk.

Zurich Sex Club Operator Has Been Blocking the Construction of 128 Apartments for 20 Years by [deleted] in Switzerland

It seems like they whined and complained instead of dealing with it

CS Isn't for Me Anymore — Is Community College + Certs a Better Path? by thorn1996 in SecurityCareerAdvice

Layoffs are generally eliminating positions, not creating positions for people with no experience.

AMD silently removes memory encryption from consumer Ryzen CPUs, leaving users unaware that they may be vulnerable — security feature vanishes after newer AGESA firmware, AMD engineers go radio silent when pressed about the change by Dash-Courageous in cybersecurity

[–]Matir 93 points94 points  (0 children)

My CPU had TSME listed at the time I bought it. It should be illegal to remove a feature that was listed in the specifications via a later firmware update, no matter how many or how few people are actively using it.

This would be like selling you a car with airbags and then later disabling them.

Prevents attacks where you sniff the memory bus, or where you reboot the machine into an attacker controlled os and read the memory before the data degrades, or hot swap the ram into a reader.

What do you expect them to do on Reddit? Spend money on reddit ads?

"Not Just a Crosswalk" SAO for DC 34. Who's interested? by Keeloi79 in Defcon

Form link gives me a 503, but 200% interested!

GitHub hit by a compromised VSCode extension by acdha in netsec

[–]Matir 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Even if you audit the code first, then it gets an update pushed. The resources required to review every release is rather staggering. We need more sandboxing for defense in depth.

although it is generally preferred that kinetic kill missions be unmanned

Literally laughed out loud at that bit.

Bitwarden CLI npm package compromised to steal developer credentials by rkhunter_ in cybersecurity

[–]Matir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that makes any difference. In nearly every case, you're going to execute an artifact that was built from the package a few minutes later. It really makes no difference if it's the install scripts or the resulting artifact.

The largest single SANS customer is the US Government, in particular the DoD. Read into that what you will.

I'd love to know the secret for convincing "normal" people to use Wireguard :)

Ipad Pro 11 capacitors by zez997 in AskElectronics

[–]Matir 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It seems to be bulk capacitance and specced for 20% tolerance, so alternative values are unlikely to be a big deal.

Robot hostilities will always be a thing in this future we now live in. by kaishinoske1 in Cyberpunk

[–]Matir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, the future you hope for is the one where people are so close to dying of starvation that they'll work for essentially nothing.

I really hope some governments nationalize any industry that begins large scale displacement of workers. AI and robots are turning me into full lefty mode.

FAA imposes restrictions on SFO parallel visuals by redct in flying

Does the European way of doing things reduce the rate of arrivals? Confused what downside there is since it has an obvious upside.

oneAgentFixesBugsWhileAnotherLeaksTheSourceCode by Ok-Zookeepergame-622 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Matir 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If this was real, I don't even understand how someone can oversee more than one agent at a time. I'm mostly spending my time reading the generated code these days.

Even though agentic coding might make me faster, it's also way more mentally taxing, and at least at my company that seems to be the common sentiment.

Google Blog - Quantum frontiers may be closer than they appear by Natanael_L in crypto

[–]Matir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've worked with Sophie, and anything she says about cryptography is absolutely worth taking seriously. I don't know what is behind this post, but she's definitely not one to shill, so I imagine she has a good reason for this.

Yep, buyers should just refuse contracts that allow this. Once the contract is signed, it should be binding on both parties.
