Does this have anything to do with transistors and computation? Or are they only talking about harddrives? A huge increase in density would be cool, but I'm not really convinced they would get much faster because most of the slowness comes from physically moving a reader arm and lining it up with insane accuracy. It may be able to complete with an SSD for density, but speed is debatable.
Hopefully original quality versions of things will stay available. I was pretty hyped to rewatch Westworld when the 4K HDR bluray seasons came out. Soooo much better quality than streaming.
Funny that the DRM didn't even really prevent ripping the disks... A few different players were hacked to leak decryption keys and mess with the firmware to allow backing up to a PC (or piracy if that's your thing).
I have all my media stored locally because I can't stand having shows being removed from streaming services.
I've met some good friends online that I later met up with in person. Though this was only after chatting and gaming with them for years. Meeting in a public place reduces a lot of the risk. I wouldn't want to give out my address or meet at someone's house.
This is a bit different than MTBF like on harddrives. Batteries are usually warrantied to 80% capacity because it's a wear thing, not a random chance of complete failure.
A battery isn't going to last twice as long as another one by chance, this is all about determining the average or worst-case operating range the battery will be in and using that to figure out a warranty period where they think all cars will fall within.
Somehow I feel like the cloudflare one is not in the same category. This is the first I heard about it, and end users don't care about logs at all. I doubt there's many businesses that even noticed or cared that they lost 4 hours of logs.
Why the fuck does an oven have a touch screen? That's a horrible idea. Good luck cleaning your kitchen without accidentally hitting "buttons" on the oven! And heaven forbid food splatter turns on your oven broiler.
If you are the CA, you can sign a new certificate yourself for google.com and the browser will accept it. It's effectively allows MITM for any certificate. Worse, it's not even limited to certificates under that CA. The browser has no way of knowing there's 2 "valid" certs at once, and in fact that is allowed regardless (multiple servers with different instances of the SSL cert is a possibility).
Certificate pinning might save things, since that will force the same certificate as was previously used, but I'm not sure this is a common default.
Well, it's difficult, as it should be, because if you control a certificate in the active chain of trust of browsers, you can hack pretty much anything you want.
Oh man, I forgot about startssl until just now. I definitely had a few of those certs. If you wanted something fancy like a wildcard cert back then, you were paying $$$
You bring up heated water as a method of storage, and it reminds me of a neighborhood in Alberta, Canada that uses geothermal + solar heated water storage for 52 homes. They've been able to successfully heat the entire neighborhood with only solar over the winter in 2015-2016 and have gotten > 90% solar heating in other years.
There's a huge number of new storage technologies being developed, and the fact that some even work on a seasonal basis for long term storage is amazing.
