                    Damnit. Might be a sound business decision(I don’t know), but I liked Cray.

                          Being a Huawei phone fan (well my current and last 2 have been them) not sure how to take this.

                          I know it won't take long to get a Modded version that will work on them.

                              Apparently they backed off that today or yesterday.

                                    Would you pay $1m for a laptop full of malware?

                                    A laptop deliberately infected with six notorious strains of malware, including WannaCry and ILoveYou, is being auctioned in the US as an art project.

                                    At time of writing, the highest bid for the device was $1.1m (£800,000).
                                    The auction states that the Samsung laptop's internet connectivity will be disabled when the device is shipped to the auction winner.
                                    The 11-year-old Notebook has been air-gapped - a security measure to isolate it from other networks.

                                      Layer 8 failure. How is this a good idea?

                                        Android at I/O 2019: The Project Mainline update system and other highlights

                                        Get ready for a dual-booting, even more modularized Android system.
                                        Google I/O 2019 wrapped up on May 9th, but we're still picking through the incredible flood of information that came out of the show.

                                          Something can only be air gapped if it is powered on and connected to something. Why is it on OR connected to ANYTHING?

                                            Bunch of dumb asses, wasting over $1million on a 11 year old laptop. What's the point?

                                            I could do that with any old piece of hardware I have here.
