By adding the element of a mobile device to verify the transaction it changes the dynamic here. There are protections and precautions to verify against fraudulent currency performed within the machine. The implied here is that there is no verification or protection (by means of storing values local rather then remote). In a system where there is transactional data / values stored, the default should be to have the data stored and housed within a protected system. IE central server that a simple app queries with API calls vs a database walled on a phone.

The same principles often come into play with online games and cheating, yet constantly developers make the same mistakes.

No, but a gag order can prohibit you from saying something specifically with regard to national security issues.

So downvote away, but these documents do exist and these circumstances can and will happen.

In fact, everyone impacted by Aurora, were strictly under gag orders during the onset of that investigation too.

My guess is Gag order for the US govt.

It's actually possible they have a National Security Gag order. If that's the case they could only deny anyway.

It's actually suprising that people think they're not "normal" computers. I provisioned a few of them and they're little beasts. Most in use are I7, 16-32gb ram, Dual NVME. The Skulltrail nucs are extremely powerfull and on the lower end the atom based units are solid too. I also ran a nuc in my car for a while, mostly stumbling radio / wifi spectrum as I drove around, but it was perfect with its relatively low power requirements.

So much this, yes i'm sure people were attempting to scan it up but I guarantee you could show the same for almost every network out there. I understand the fear mongering to a degree but its projecting things in the wrong place and it's almost like crying wolf.

The even shittier thing is, assuming your muni get the efforts going, it's not uncommon for comcast to all of a sudden have a competing product at a cheaper rate. Where the didn't have bandwidth they suddenly can support the increased rates due to competition. It's just nuts.

Military, Federal, State govt. and even corporations all have dreaded over runs. It's bad all around.

This is repeated a lot, but I don't know many that are interested in buying a used card these days due to mining and wear on them. I don't think the resale value is nearly as great as is implied. I could be wrong though. If we get to the point where resale starts to happen in mass, it'll be an interesting item to watch.

I too very much appreciate this, as soon as I saw it I shared it with a couple students I mentor. Interestingly we're talking about synthesizers as an instrument and this is a great visual tool! Keep it up! I'd be happy to send a small donation for continued write-ups.

I've never seen a property reduce rents on a lease before even if the markets bare it. Did you move units to start a new lease?
