Thanks!

Is there a location for the actual order? The linked article doesn't have a link to the order (SHAME Reuters) and the details on the actual order are sparse.

> what limits exactly does this place on Mozilla?

Mozilla is bound to only use the content to help the use navigate, experience and interact with online content as the user has indicated.

> One thing they could do with your financial data is show it to you (least harm).

Yes - this is what the user indicated.

> Another thing is to aggregate it with other's data (medium harm).

And the user has not indicated that this would be a permitted use of the data - thereby revoking the license of the first clause. If the data is used outside of the final clause of the license, that is unlicensed use of data. This would be a material breach of the contract by the corporation. This could open them up to massive legal penalties.

If you used SameTime with Pidgin, SameTime didn't suck. But maybe that's because Pidgin is awesome, and not because of SameTime.

Looks like it's back. False alarm. Sorry.

Saw that after posting this. I feel like a dumb.

When you say “made to order” - you’re talking about desktops, ya? Not laptops? If there are made to order laptops, I need to see that.

I’m planning on using Central for a PC build in a month or so - definitely going to try to stretch my dollars.

I have family in Virginia, and yearly inspections take into account frame damage, brake wear, and other critical components.

California (where I live) has every-other-year emissions tests, and that's it.

EDIT: There's a pretty comprehensive list on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_inspection_in_the_Unit...

EDIT 2: A summary:

Passenger vehicle inspection timeframe:

Annually: Delaware, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Vermont, Virginia

Biennially: Missouri, Rhode Island, West Virginia

On transfer (sale or import from other jurisdiction): Kentucky, Maryland, Nebraska

I don't know that this CVE would be trivial to knock out.

My CVSS score for this is as follows:

CVSSv3.1:AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L (I said "Low" integrity issues, and "Low" availability issues, since I don't know if the DOS issue is real)

That reads out to a "Medium" CVE.

I have, in the past, worked with some banks, and they want all 4+ CVSSv3 CVEs enumerated and either remediated or for a plan to be in place to remediate them.

Maybe you're significantly better than I am at this, but I am hesitant to look at any CVE and say it's not a problem with how I have configured my software. Unless I have really deeply looked into the issue, I get really nervous saying a CVE is not going to affect my software.

I don't think they're criticizing - I think it's observation.

It makes a lot of sense, and we're early-ish to the tech cycle. Reading the Manual/Google/ChatGPT are all just tools in the toolbelt. If you (an expert) is giving this advice, it should become mainstream soon-ish.

Fermi is a treat for the architecture alone.
