"The maximum potential fine is about $21 trillion"

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-05/medibank-taken-to-federal-court-over-cyber-attack/103936664

That's 21 million million. 21,000,000,000,000.

Much dollar. Very expense.

I wonder how that's gonna work out.

If the OR is not performing tele-operations (and even then), I simply cannot comprehend why hospitals risk connectivity. There MUST be some way maintenance / updates can be applied offline.

The "Recall can't record DRMed video content" thing is because DRMed video content is entirely invisible to the OS. The OS passes the encrypted content to your GPU and tells it where to draw it, and the GPU decrypts it and displays it there. It's not a policy decision on the Recall side, it's just how computers work.

Welp, I knew Microsoft's CoPilot+ Recall was going to be a privacy disaster but I didn't expect it to turn into an enterprise computing catastrophe for Microsoft quite this fast!

But this can't be a one-off. Any large enterprise that has to comply with a regulated privacy environment—HIPAA in the USA, GDPR in the EU, banking/insurance/finance globally—must be considering a ban on Microsoft installations on laptop/desktop computers right now or be breaking the law.

TIL: apparent;y SQLite has a fundamentally Christian "Code of Ethics" by which all current developers pledge to e.g.,

10. Deny oneself in order to follow Christ.
11. Chastise the body.
12. Do not become attached to pleasures.
13. Prefer nothing more than the love of Christ.
14. Fear the Day of Judgment.
15. Devote yourself frequently to prayer.

etc. :-O

I've been suffering from a bit of an unpleasant bout of dizzyness for several days, possibly a delayed reaction from my surgery, at least I hope that's all.

Very grateful to @cstrotm for agreeing to take my scheduled DNS training which begins in 10 minutes.

Thank you, Carsten!

Saw a headline on HN "Build a side project using your data"

Isn't that what all companies are trying to do? Build projects with my data?

(Not quite sure what he's actually saying, and I might actually be a wee bit scared; the last time 'round, k8s/openshift was forced upon us.)
