  • EU demands UK pay into budget as part of relationship ‘reset’

  • And once more, the UK's political caste will learn in a very entertaining way that the EU is neither a giant free-for-all, nor that they hold all the cards.

    Bre-entry is going to be just as entertaining a political comedy as Brexit was.

  • The remote access devices can be a good thing. The issue is one of control.

    It can be a good thing, but is it really necessary everywhere?

    What went wrong with the world so a bus has an onboard computer for anything else than displaying scheduling information that can be updated and accessed remotely these days? I grew up riding on buses that had exactly zero computers, and guess what? Those things were reliable and robust, they would run for decades despite pretty much non stop rolling all day every day all year long. They had millions of kilometers on the clock. All without a single computer. If you wanted, you could retrofit one of those old things with a computerised scheduling display quite easily (all you need is a suitable computer/display unit that runs on 24V DC), but that wouldn't interfere with the basic function of the bus.

    There are many more examples of machinery that has a shitload of remotely accessible computers built into it, but would work just fine without.

    Remote access and updating brings convenience, but automatically also brings insecurity, because where someone authorised can remotely access something, there is also a way in for someone unauthorised if they're just trying hard enough. And "trying hard enough" doesn't necessarily mean defeating some technical security mechanism, but can simply consist of fooling some poor idiot to give away their credentials. And with that intrinsic vulnerability, we need to decide where we want that and where not.

  • Für die gutbetuchten Schreiberlinge und Leser der Zeit ist halt die FDP mit Gendersternchen linker und "progressiver", als tatsächlich soziale Politik.

  • Yes, that's one of the reasons why I made my other comment about spineless corrupt governments cowering before their corporate overlords.

    There are other problems with buying infrastructure and other important equipment from China, but back doors for remote bricking are universal and not specific to Chinese equipment. And as long as producing such equipment is allowed and the practice of remotely bricking it is legal, or even worse, you can drag those who try to prevent it to court, we'll be seeing more of it.

  • Meanwhile pretty much every manufacturer of "modern" machinery. Enshittification is universal.

  • Oh yes the stupidity of "cheapest bidder wins the contract" is monumental. And comes with a whole bunch of follow-up costs, both literally and figuratively.

  • Norway’s Hidden Bus Backdoor: China’s Remote Control Sparks Cybersecurity Crisis

    Jump

  • As long as we're having a bunch of corrupt, spineless governments cowering before their corporate overlords, it doesn't matter a bit whether the perpetrators of such bricking are located right next door or in China. Because nothing will be done to stop them.

  • The problem isn't Chinese back doors as such, but the enshittification of infrastructure with remote access that alows manufacturers to brick shit whenever they like. Remember those trains in Poland that were remotely shut down whenever their manufacturer saw that they were maintained by a third party?

  • The Poblem isn't Chinese backdoors as such, but remote access for manufacturers in general. Enshittification of infrastructure via manufacturers bricking shit through remote access needs to stop. Remember when a train manufacturer from Poland was repeatedly bricking trains whenever they were maintained by an independent workshop?

  • Und genau deswegen ist es höchste Zeit, dass der Verein endlich verboten wird. Es ist ja schon schlimm genug, dass es Nazis gibt, aber dass man denen auch noch mit Steuergeldern den Urlaub in feindlichen Ländern bezahlt, muss echt nicht sein.

  • Ist die Frage, ob man das will. Hab gehört, die russische Flugabwehr wäre etwas nervös und reizbar wegen ständiger ukrainischer Drohnenangriffe. Aber Nazis sind ja oft dumm, man kann also hoffen.
