Inconvenient like a 737 Max deciding to self-correct pitch for a few seconds? Turkey - without the F-35 JSF - is probably more dangerous than with it! And the most dangerous next-level fighters will have their targets selected by APster. Cryptoanarchy One - not " Die Hard Four ". NOAM “There are things that we want to keep secret like the characteristics of your latest fighter plane or something like that ” CHOMSKY

[spam][crazy] Eventually Changing Censorship
by Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many 19 Apr '22

19 Apr '22

Censorship is really blatant in my life, and very hard for me to grapple with due to my amnesia. When I'm aware of it, it's not clear where it comes from. It looks a little like it's some combination of human behavior, system compromise, government activity, criminal activity, error, funded political influence, ISP filtering, etc etc. I can't tell. It looks like some of it is clearly illegal. It looks like some of it is clearly unwanted by people who would have authority around it. One of my tentative fears is that if it were pressured a lot it could "go back into hiding" and assert strong harmful powers invisibly. It would seem good to address it in a way that prevents this. Today, I got a "meetup" notice for a cool event, and visited the description. I went to search for similar events and none came up. Not even that one! I don't see any way to find it again, now that the notice has gone away. This seems to be censorship of my search results. It would be quite reasonable to prove that, but _why_ is it happening? How do we protect people from things like this happening in harmful ways? Part of me considers such protection would relate to where-ever it comes from and how and why it happens.

Computing: Harmful chips hidden on circuit boards revealed by their power use | New Scientist
by jim bell 19 Apr '22

https://www.newscientist.com/article/2315672-harmful-chips-hidden-on-circui… Harmful chips hidden on circuit boards revealed by their power use Careful observation of the power consumption of a circuit board can reveal telltale signs that an attacker has tampered with it and installed a malicious device designed to steal sensitive information or cause crashes, say researchers. TECHNOLOGY April 18, 2022 07:00 By Matthew Sparkesanufacturers often design printed circuit boards for their products but lack manufacturing capability, so they outsource production. Experts warn that these factories are a point of vulnerability where an attacker could insert malicious features, known as Trojan attacks. These Trojan attacks could steal sensitive data or crash a device when triggered. Only one such attack has ever been reported in the wild, detailed in a Bloomberg article in 2018, but later denied by all companies mentioned. Theodore Markettos at the University of Cambridge says that no firm …
