That’s one case study. He lists many more where throwing an epsilon at a floating point problem is the wrong solution.
I’ll try an analogy to explain better. The firewall is a lock on the door to your house. Vlans are a rule that to go from one room to another, you must go back out the locked door and back in.
So an attacker tries to come in and can’t pick the lock. You are safe.
Another attacker can pick the lock and get into a room. But if they can pick the lock for one room, they can pick the same lock again and get into any other rooms because it’s the same lock protecting every room in the house.
if you allowed that to happen you either did not set firewall rules strict enough
The argument was that the vlans force a device through the firewall so that the firewall can protect it. But for that to happen, like you said the firewall wasn’t strick enough or didn’t have a defense against a 0 day.
So the vlan doesn’t do anything either way. Either the firewall works in which case you don’t need vlans to force local traffic through them a second time or they don’t work in which case again the vlan did nothing.
To compromise a device on a vlan it had to get through the firewall. If your firewall couldn’t stop it then it can attack any other device by going through the firewall because again the firewall didn’t stop the device from being compromised in the first place.
You can do that at the router. You don’t need vlans to block Mac addresses.
haven’t really found any personal need for VLAN segregation
I feel like many setup vlans “because it exists”, not for actual need. The security reason generally doesn’t exist for home labs because most need to setup bridging or you can’t access the devices on the secure vlan at all.
I noped out of arch during setup. It expected me to partition the drive for swap/os/usr. It’s not 1996, I’m not doing that today.
It would have blown Orwell’s mind that people would excitedly pay for spying devices and carefully place them in every room for maximum effectiveness.
Who screwed in vga carefully every time? Without the screws vga was worse.
You can get HDMI with a lock tab . I hate that too. Nothing worse than trying to reach behind a wall mount to squeeze the lock tab.
I have no idea what the admins are doing with lemmy.world but every day the ai_reddit community posts are near the top despite only 1 upvote on posts and I’m not subscribed to that community.
He didn’t need the job, they needed him.


Only on some and name brand PC’s which used it for compatibility. For home built or local store, the turbo would overclock. I remember telling a friend, that although their 16mhz could run at 20, to not do it because it would compromise longevity! Ha! Mind you the cpu’s in those days didn’t have heat sinks but still- Oh no your 386 might not work in 20 years from running too hot!
but we’re literally talking about a potential currency alternative so the process/method is extremely relevant.
You are holding up an imaginary system (crypto with all the safety of a credit card) against the existing credit card. We weren’t discussing potential ways crypto could be fixed. As crypto exists today it is not immune to fraud as you claimed.
yes it’s actually important to understand how money moves
I claimed credit cards protect consumers. You countered with "For example we know things like card skimmers " Once I explained that consumers are still protected you tried to make it about the process of a credit card company recovering their money which has fuck all to do with consumer protection. You invented a personal definition for fraud not because you don’t speak English but because your claim that crypto protects against fraud was bad.
You are not arguing in good faith.
I wish it was that way. Soo many ads are completely irrelevant. The only platform where I get good ads is google news (the swipe left on Pixel). It’s filled with Adafruit ads. I’m cool with that.
I’m not questioning the end user impact lmao
Their internal mechanisms and work with police work is irrelevant to me as a consumer. It is therefore irrelevant for you to bring it up.
You are arguing that a new car warranty doesn’t exist because a dealership has to pay a mechanic to fix the defective car they sold. You are ridiculous.
I’m from Texas, I am a licensed financial professional
Then you god damn know the actual definition of fraud not your silly redefinition.
Gtfo.
You must know that’s not actually how it works,
That is exactly how it works. A credit card isn’t a debit card. I have had my card number stolen. I saw weird charges on my card, called my credit card company and they reversed those charges immediately. No arguing was necessary because credit card companies work for you. Again this is a credit card, not a bank debit card.
That is something that could be done with crypto as well.
It can’t be done with crypto because you are transferring direct. You would need someone in between in which case you have reinvented banking.
Your edit isn’t fraud, it’s scamming lol
I’m getting the impression you aren’t in the US or British and don’t speak English natively. This could be why we are having problems communicating.
Would the taxi companies that owned all the medallions have allowed this to happen if their existence wasn’t threatened? Or would they lobby to stop this at all cost because it doesn’t benefit them?
No taxi lobby stopped Uber.
So hundreds are dying due to Uber?
There is a sexual assault every 8 minutes caused by an Uber driver.
Googling says for example Uber has 400 assaults in San Francisco and the taxi industry had 14.
I can’t find any examples of taxi drivers murdering their passengers. All news is about taxi drivers being murdered by their customers.
I was all about grill marks until just last month when I watched an Alton Brown and Guga video. Apparently grill marks are a sign that the meat wasn’t flipped enough for even cooking and browning.
