Yes they are. You can easily see it as the sponge keeps its form, whereas the melamine one shrinks on every use.

That would be so much worse. Code written that doesn't work, SQL that couldn't be parsed, ...

Yes it does, it matters a lot. With smaller dimensions, tip speeds remain manageable. As soon as parts of the thing get supersonic, everything gets much more complicated.

Seems to me like a migration that should have been done 15 years ago.

Maybe but still a little better than closed source like Windows. Everytime whem someone asked me if I could hack my way into his Windows PC I always told "After all it's Windows, how bad can it be?" Doing that since 25 years still waiting for a Windows machine that doesn't open... On the other hand I failed to open about 50% of Apple Devices I was asked to open and about 10% of Linux machines. (Not because Linux is insecure by itself but because most Linux distros install with insecure defaults and users don't care.)

I think RPKI is good enough. As we have TLS on top it doesn't need to be perfect.

Since revocation is also a big pain.

No I would not. They posed no immediate danger to anyone of us until that attack.

At least it's more interesting than all those AI stuff.

That also changed somehow... LTO-10 drives are not backward compatible and can only read/write LTO-10 media.

That is a critical observation. Last time I had to root an Android device it hat pretty robust defenses like dm-verity and strict SELinux policies (correctly configured) and then everything collapsed because the system loaded a exfat kernel module from an unverified filesystem.

Permitting user-loaded kernel modules effectively invalidates all other security measures.

What’s the alternative—locking down all legitimate users and still losing the data anyway?

Network controls alone don’t stop exfiltration. HDMI/DP can move data faster than most consumer NICs. Does the system account for that scenario?

What is not only true for police but for every sufficiently big group of people.

Could you please stop that? First it is not true. "Open Source" has nothing to do with the "Open Source Initiative" it existed long before. Second you are making people keep their source closed (not available) which is not a good thing.

I think mandatory S/MIME without user-friendly key management would either be reverted pretty soon or it would kill Gmail.
