I don't think you ever saw the cars my grandmother drove when my dad was a kid. It was not a "light truck" or anything of the type. It was a 'car' and it was actually bigger, by quite a large margin.

The post is nothing more than "but what about security" meant to deflect away from the discussion at hand and towards OpenWRT

TLS and SSH obscure the exact data, not the usage pattern.

0.0.0.0 / 0 ?

You're telling me you were targeted by Multiple Zero Days in 1 single attack?

Usually the most advanced attacks are a few chained zero days or a zero day on top of a configuration /patching error. The worst attacks are when a zero day for wordpress or outlook comes out.

Google was.

OK so when you say "hacked into Gmail" you actually mean someone breached the infra of email. Not that they did some credential stuffing / password reset attack & got into one person's Gmail account?

That's generally how actual APT attacks go, yes.

The virtual keyword in c++ is more of a compiler optimization and less of a design decision. C++ doesn't want everyone paying the overhead of virtual function calls like other languages

It still funcions as a design optimization even though that isn't the reason for it.

I think that's an over-simplification. There was pressure on the language to ensure that data structures were compatible with C structs, so avoiding the vtable with simple classes was a win for moving data between these languages.

Of course these days with LTO the whole performance space is somewhat blurred since de-virtualisation can happen across whole applications at link time, and so the presumed performance cost can disappear (even if it wasn't actually a performance issue in reality). It's tough to create hard and fast rules in this case.

Once I looked at the price tag I quickly arrived at the same conclusion. It's a neat product, but I can get so much more computer for less money.

I have the BD795M with an RTX 3090. It's a good desktop and gaming machine if you're looking for a compact build.

Support is abysmal

I have the BD795M, the support is non existent and the BIOS updates are questionable. There exists a BIOS update but I've read it breaks more than it fixes. At current the temperature control of the fans is just abysmal. I can live with that for now.

No he's stating that getting the executable is the easy part.
