>American president can ask many things. Trump could ask an american citizen he wants to enter his property. The citizen can say "Fuck off you fucking moron" and slam the door in Trump's face since it is the citizen's personal property.

I'm sure that's not how it would go.

The current control system dates from the early 90s. They started rolling a modern system with more redundancies and automatic blocking in 2022 but it's still not fully deployed.

That all is true, and furthermore the AVE train was running way above the 30 kmh limit set when the automatic control systems fails. The only way this accident could happen is if someone violated every existing procedure.

Both accidents involved Iryo, a Italian operator that started running high speed trains on Spain a few years ago. Given how small their fleet is, it's weird that they have been involved in every recent accident, but at least the Adamuz one was clearly the fault of the tracks and not the trains.

It's also a maintenance issue. The automatic control systems were offline and that's why they were manually controlling the trains.

It really sucks but there is no other widely supported standard for in-app purchases. Some services refuse to use credit/debit cards payments for some reason.

My guess is that someone was instructed to generate "random bytes" and just did 'char secret = rand()' or something similar.

You should add the entire JS runtime you have to ship along React to that attack surface.

I'm really surprised VKD3D works out of the box. So many abstraction layers stacked on top of each other feel like a jenga tower on the brink of falling.
