Sure but that means a workaround for machines affected, but not needing correct dates could be to set their clocks to midnight Jan 1 1970 and have another 65 years to sort it out

Anyway, the biggest problem will be embedded systems, including many household and business smart devices. Several I have are definitely 32 bit machines and might use 32 bit time precise to the second. Some I don’t know. I have no idea what processor my TV uses

And as long as they get updated, it’ll be fine. Probably cheaper than Y2K. Note that medical and industrial control stuff generally doesn’t care about the date

On 32 bit computers

Do you have any 32 bit computers anymore? Any running important stuff that needs good dates?

Surely one could use the same exploit to restore the original boot code as the malware used to corrupt it

That says you cannot replace individual broken cells in a Tesla pack. That doesn’t say you can’t replace the pack

Aren’t all the cells worn in a ten year old battery?

My car wouldn’t have done that. Had I fallen unconscious it would either follow the road or stop

But that’s also not because it’s electric.

That sounds more racist than true

Chronic flow in an engaging project. Start on a Saturday morning, feel like a coffee since you’re a bit sleepy, notice it’s Sunday

I had a team of contractors working on some code. They had learnt in their previous jobs to document everything in the work wiki (aside from the design documents which have their own repository)

And it was good they did, since the project was put on hold due to too much mismatch between backend and front, and all the contractors were fired (a day before Xmas) leaving the useless doco as the best reference for whoever needs to resurrect our code

“republic” is opposite to “monarchy”. It is unrelated to democracy or authoritarianism. Nazi Germany was a republic. France is a republic.

Your republic is flawed by design. Your founders didn’t trust democracy so they weakened it, the country hasn’t managed to improve the democracy since.

Australia is also a Federation, but a monarchy not a republic. Australia is quite a bit more democratic than America

Luckily we don’t build clocks for n-dimensional time

My grandfather clock is correct* about once a week when I wind and correct it

*It must be correct as it’s very slightly fast (less so than can be fixed with a quarter turn off the pendulum screw) and I set it slightly in the past

In Rome they tell you the fountain water is fine. Though I suspect some is fed through lead pipes

Adelaide water is fine now

Australian here, yes. Our tap water is pretty good

Ctrl+shift+k and u? I’m pretty sure it’s Ctrl+k and +u

Admin or physical access.

It’s also a new way to compromise a machine you have physical access to

I care, I don’t like him and like the chance to cheer for the cancer
