Application and VPN work on totally different OSI layers, so what other comment already pointed out - it's defence in dept that exactly is meant to prevent such cases: when one control fails, other might save the day. IP whitelisting is mostly suitable for centralised command center and fixed locations which might have been sufficient in this case, as I really don't believe that these fridges were individually and manuallly controlled by human users via their phones rather than some server and automation.

There are zero reasons you should not be using VPN or at least IP whitelisting for that. Especially in the industrial settings.

That's a survirvorship bias - we normally only hear of the attacks that succeed, not the ones that have been successfully prevented.

Modern aviation is an amazing engineering feat (all the environmental issues aside). With such numbers it means that "one in a million" failure occurs roughly evey week, but the fact that we have so little major incidents demonstrates how well aicrafts are engineered.

Excuse my likely stupid question, but has anybody had some success using Claude Code with frontier agents (or Junie or anything else) to invoke local LLMs for specific sub-tasks or wrapped as skills? In other words, is there a way to use expensive, frontier models as orchestrators that manage local models to do the specialised coding tasks?

How do you know that they don't train their models or append your prompts to add backdoors, or compromise your supply chain by including evil dependencies? This seems hugely irresponsible.

AWS skills are in quite strong demand, so it totally pays off to know the platform and have some hands-on experience if you work in the related area.

That's a nice theory, but it doesn't work like that in most EU countries where banks are reluctant to give you a loan even for the 2nd property, let alone for tens of it unless you have collaterals to cover the cost.

Of course. Both desktop and mobile version as well with uBlock Origin. Don't have any issues so far except Google Meet not being able to blur the background on the video calls, but I can live with that.

I don't advocate or support such malware instalation. Just saying that "Russian citizens have nothing to do with this war" is false. There are better ways to express your support for Ukraine, for example, make malware targeting only military or govermental institutions that are directly involved.

Majority of average Russian citizens support their goverment actions against Ukraine. So in my book, they are also responsible.

It was proven over and over again, that the more you give to Russia, the more they will take next time. We have to stop them now or never. War is already on going between Russia and the west (Putin himself and his chief of spies already said, that they deem sanctions akin declaration of war), hiding from this fact won't help.

Why Telegram? I see Ukrainians use it a lot in this conflict,but I would really not trust it to be secure against such powerful adversary as Russia. Signal is much better bet under these circumstances.

I wonder, what happens with all that captured equipment? I see a lot of videos of seemingly undamaged anti-air systems, artillery, tanks.. can Ukrainians readily use them or there are some locks etc. that prohibits it?
