No, they don't know why it's broken.

The cleaning cycle doesn't complete during the night, usually because the hopper is too full, and when they come in the next day they just run the 4 hour cleaning cycle multiple times until the cryptic error goes away.

As the video showed, when someone invented an add-on for the machines to display human readable error messages, they got attacked with a lawsuit.

His personality really comes out in this statement:

and will drop by the office occasionally, saying he plans to be in the Bay Area "on a regular basis" as travel restrictions ease.

Anyone who thinks they can jump this many time zones 'regularly' and be just as productive, either doesn't travel often, is deluding themselves, or is trying to paint a false picture of themselves to the public.

You have more wiggle room when you don't admit your crimes out loud on video.

To avoid discipline, this guy could have said "I just like Taylor Swift" instead of detailing his intent to break the law.

I feel like the author started with their conclusion and worked backwards until they had enough content to meet their quota for the article.

There is a link called guidelines at the bottom of the page.

You don't have a pretty new PC, you have parts from a new PC mixed with parts from an older PC.

No manufacturer has shipped an mbr formatted drive in the last 5 years.

What I don't get is why are people directly connecting these devices to the internet?

The logs in the article show these devices being accessed from the internet.

There have been many people in this forum mentioning how their data is gone, and I'm doubting most of the people here are directly connecting their devices to the internet .. which makes me feel like there is something more going on.

You are likely getting stuck behind Cloudflare prompts because you are attempting to 'hide your identity' via tor or VPN service.

You're likely attempting to use the same channels as attackers, but want to be treated differently 'just because'

Kind of hard to write rules for criteria like that.

I'm amazed at the length of this article.

Never expected MSN to put this much effort into such a random topic.

The better place to get reception would be through the charging or audio port.

It's an easy way to extend the phone antenna to the whole vehicle.
