It would be great to have this as a bracer/half sleeve that could be worn independently of a whole shirt, sort of like a soft Pip-Boy.

Thomas Midgley, Jr. must have been a fascinating person. It's too bad rather than being known as president of the American Chemical Society he'll forever be remembered for both leaded gasoline and R12 refrigerant.

So has tech replaced oil and natural gas as the new tobacco, or do we have two new tobaccos right now? Oh, what about fast fashion? Recyclable plastics that aren't actually recyclable? Dodgy financial products remixed and hidden in your mutual funds? Unsafe tap water that passes all the city's tests but not at-home tests for the same contaminates? The Texas government being run by Republicans for decades who campaign on fixing the broken schools, roads, and taxes in Texas?

It's ICMP, so any network that doesn't filter ICMP and would allow malformed packets through could be a target. You'd have no idea when something was PXE booting, so you'd have to keep sending the packets and wait.

A bigger question I think is why you'd assign a public IP to a machine for PXE boot rather than booting it from a private IP space then assigning any publics once the OS is booted.

Some networks carry ICMP through untouched. Why you'd be using public addresses for your systems between DHCP and PXE boot is beyond me, but it's possible. However, someone would need to spray and pray because they wouldn't have visibility within the network to know about the DHCP and PXE traffic actually happening at that time.

Fair enough. The two other words are fascism and Nazism.

There's a shorter phrase for corporations and other large organizations colluding with or controlling an authoritarian government for the organizations' own ends at the expense of at least some subset of the people. It's actually only one word, and there are three options. Mussolini had corporatism on the mind. You probably know the other two, and one is a proper noun.

48V DC is also common in the telecommunications world and available in the data center world.

Isolation via a transfer switch or breaker lockouts is the right solution. If the grid fails and your power inverter shuts down, your house is without AC power.

Abbott and Paxton are comical frauds. Anyone who believes the schtick of either one after all this time maybe shouldn't make financial or healthcare decisions without help from a competent adult.

I would say I'm excited to know how you imagine that parallel, but I'm afraid you'd miss the sarcasm.

Especially considering who's in charge of the FBI at the moment.

Even if it's a scummy business model, there's a line between being a negotiator after the fact recruited by the victim and an accessory to the crime.

Not separate enough, it seems.
