>Am I vulnerable to this on a Linux System?

Probably, but there's not much info out yet so it's rather difficult to comment on exploitability.
> someone has to fight the good fight

That's a noble, if politically naïve, attitude. Societies, like Congress, have a limited bandwidth for problem solving. The way we prioritize what gets solved and what doesn't, as well as how to solve it, is "politics". (This is more a matter of definition than quibbling.)

There are various political institutions, and individuals have varying degrees of influence over them, depending on how one's society is structured. But unvaryingly, attracting people with political capital to your cause is paramount. This is often done by showing such people an agglomeration of individuals supporting your cause, individually with less political value than them but collectively something interesting.

Even the people at the bottom of the chain have limited bandwidth. This is why most systems default to delegation, particularly at scale. Single-handedly refusing to support something you think is important without patching that into a political system is fine from a personal or moral perspective, but it shouldn't be expected to actually do anything. As such, it's less a good fight than good fussing about.
One still stay away from stuff that is patented in the US as a European company though, most European companies want to go to market in the US sooner or later.
With your ideas about patents someone should do it out of the kindness of their heart I guess. Is that what has driven most technological advancements of the human race?

In your software-patentless world, why would a genius choose to work in software as opposed to another field inventing patentable tangible objects where he or she will be monetarily rewarded for it and able to make a living? Don't say you are already paid by your employer to program. Someone inventing physical objects would probably also be already paid by their employer to work. This brings us back to why would a genius choose to work in a field that won't reward them for their genius?
You could do automatic differentiation. Take each input, race, sex, age, ... and see how the output changes. If one field has a huge swing it might be a good basis for claiming variable X based discrimination.

Funny, I just realized my error and came here to correct it and saw you'd already done it. Hah, thanks. And I sympathize with the point about jobs paying more in the past without a degree, but I believe that the premise of the article is also wrong - that college degree confer no benefit to the company other than proving individuals can grind through boring tasks. Although to be fair, I got a CS/Math degree in 2.5 years, and I don't know that I've held a job where I couldn't have learned most of the programming required in a few months on the job. And I've never needed a lick of the math I so painfully learned. So maybe jobs actually requiring degrees are fewer and farer between than I realized.
Many Xeon SKUs include the Management Engine, which at times has seemed to share many of the features of AMT/SBT/etc, but its unclear on the exact attack vector for this vulnerability.

Having said that, the ME is so opaque, the same type of vulnerability could easily exist.
Location: Asia

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Backend (Go, Python), Frontend (HTML5, CSS3, JS), Unity3D (C#). Willing to work with any language, developing anything (although prefer full-stack/mobile development)

Email: fnx@tuta.io

Salary expectations: $3000/month (preferably with first month paid in advance so I can upgrade my laptop)
How about this: today everyone has a computer capable of building things on their own indistinguishable from commercial software. But one can't without running into problems with some ass hole lawyer renting a mailbox in the burbs of Texas.

Assholes hold developers and would be inventors hostage are why software patents should die.

Im beyond caring about the business arguments for them. It results in a rigged game and barrier to entry. If Oracle and MS can't compete without special, expensive protection they should die off.

But it's yet again the elite paying for things to protect their walled garden
I think this is the preferred method for people in my area who wish to have a pristine, bug-free yard.

In my case, I don't think it's worth it. I wouldn't feel right spraying that over everything for a few reasons. The affect on my (downhill) neighbors' property, the killing-off of beneficial insects, etc.

I'm not against chemical use, I just don't think it fits for this. I'll keep my muck boots on.
It's not entirely clear if this'll be exploitable except in the rather rare scenario where someone has actually set up AMT.

> New Experian survey explores consumer satisfaction with AirPods and other voice-first hardware

> Conversational user interfaces are now mainstream.

I really like my AirPods, but... this is a strange comment to make about them. The Siri integration / audio controls is the most awkward part of using AirPods. Honestly really hoping they revisit in v2.
Or, maybe they just really work well? I adore mine, and I have no idea what they cost when my wife ordered two sets.
He got the affected version numbers exactly right, but according to Intel he got the affected hardware wrong (consumer hardware unaffected).

That tells me he got the information from an unmentioned source. If he had the details himself he would be able to confirm what hardware it is present on by testing it.

The explanation for that error code be that the source have been vague about it or not tested it on a lot of hardware, or isn't even a firsthand source, or that the journalist misunderstood it.

It's not that clear even in Europe (which kinda forbids them, but sorta allows them). And it differs by jurisdiction too (e.g. in the US).

It's rather unclear whether this exploit is related to the one the SA thinks they have found, and at the time SA published their article it was unknown whether any actual exploit existed--the only real public information that SA had in their article was that Intel had distributed a new firmware.
Do the comments on this seem a bit weird?

I'm very satisfied could mean "I have the latest apple product and they look good on me".

Source: met a guy at airport who tried to convince me buy a pair. I explained they were not loud enough for the noisy plane environment. Had a long eye-opening discussion about gadgets all the way to the taxi.
I knew it! I've hated the camelCase style with a passion from the day I first saw it. I'd be very curious to know if there's any developer who didn't grow up on windows actually likes camel case style.
I'm glad that credible sources are now available. It's unfortunate that it took so long to confirm, but congrats to SemiAccurate on a massive scoop.

Edit: On the previously-mentioned scale, this sounds like a solid 8 or 9 out of 10.
Rust? I just don't like the sound of it. Completely irrational.
Agreed. I love my AirPods (they're amazing for when I want quick headphones and care less about sound quality) but they'd be a significantly better product if I could control the volume and go back/forward in songs without Siri.
And yet here we are, unable to properly deactivate "features" such as Intel ME.

I can see that. I have a pair of Bose QuietComfort 30s and they are great - only downside is that they're too big.

I'm worried I would lose the AirPods though.
Having used both for multiple years, I prefer Verilog. I think that for the synthesized subset of RTL, that HDL is typically used for, Verilog is way more productive than VHDL. The endless type conversions that are required for VHDL, just means too much mental burden and is away from actual design effort. VHDL is not practical.

Strong typing is useful when you use the same types for multiple instances, as in SW. However in HW, you construct your data to a set of bits, and then take as many as needed for the particular case. The type you need is a bit vector. Bit slicing checks can be done in the Linter tool, if needed. In DSP designs you can get benefits from VHDL types for signed and unsigned integers, but in my opinion even that does not cover the VHDL related deficiencies.

When you are working with synthesizable subset, you will never have problems with race conditions in simulation. You stick to a strict coding style, and it becomes the second nature. For beginners there are always issues, including this.

I find comparing the merits of SW languages to HW languages a bit silly. Describing SW does not benefit from the same features that describing HW does. For example Functional Programming (aka Haskell people) has nothing to do with HW. In FP you want to separate state from your functions. In HW the intention is to do the exact opposite. You want capture everything as local as possible, in order to enable maximum performance in speed, power, and area. This implies that OOP is pretty close to what HW requires, but not FP.
The exact pattern on the cards would seem to be a copyright issue more than a patent issue.

To the original objection that you can't patent math, I think some countries do disallow software patents, don't know if it's that reason or something else. But if they can disallow because math, shouldn't they disallow all patents because physics?
Now this less-mainstream theory about the precarious state of our communication systems has confirmed to a greater degree, would anyone here know of similar risks that few seem to be aware of right now?

I'm not sure if this would be considered OT, but considering the nature and scope of these vulnerabilities I don't consider it reasonable to exclude the possibility of intent and malice.

For this reason I'd like to ask: what do you consider to be "the next, most likely to surface, conspiracy of this flavor"?

The flavor being: "the struggle for control of any and all data and computational resources".
>Yay more words and concepts to add to my cognitive load. We already have established terms for these things but why use package and repository when you can invent tableturd and puddlecuddle?

Why volunteerily start, develop, and maintain a package manager and its repository, if random people are gonna try to dictate even how you name your packages?
I doubt that very much.

Having owned Jaybirds Bluebuds and Airpods - I can say that without a doubt the number one selling feature is the convenience.

The pairing is seamless. Switching between phone and computer is fast. Most days I forget they're still there until the battery dies and I have to charge them. If it weren't for the price, I would get a second pair.

Airpods are just "well done." The audio quality is not exceptional, but everything else marks the definition of the new standard for bluetooth headphones.
Thank you. I'll make sure to watch it :)
Probably Rockbox? iPods their clickwheel interface and it's software was amazing for the time, but other MP3 players generally had kinda icky interfaces. Rockbox fixed that :)
I'm sad that Beats was the one headphone brand that Apple ended up purchasing when they wanted to expand that space. B&O felt like a natural synergy for them too.

I would love to be able to buy better-sounding AirPods under an Apple/B&O label.
Former employee here: Apply for this! MPR is a pretty decent place to work!
This isn't really a rational discussion. We're complaining about a name.
My office has some really noisy people, so I wear my AirPods under a set of big ugly 3M ear protector 30dB earmuffs. Works great!

Apple customers (and I am one) are, as a class, some of the most perfectionistic, whiny-if-it-isn't-just-right people I can name.

Consider the new MBP with the touchpad. It cost a lot. People—people who own the thing—routinely call it garbage, just because they lost their Fn keys.

I doubt a pair of earbuds is immune from that.
Hundreds of millions of people use the free headphones that come with their devices. The people who spend $200 on headphones usually have some higher requirements for audio quality.
Yes, let's jump to conclusions that are thinly veiled in passive-aggressive commentary.
Doesn't that account for just about all teens?

Question is can they identify the insecurity?
it's called ChromeDriver and I kinda mentioned it originally — "There's probably a proxy or something" — and said that I want native fully integrated support :)
It's 100% an add for Experian services/data.

It is interesting that the product is well-received, but obviously the post is light on details and could be a lot better.

Yeah, I blew that prediction pretty badly. Congrats to SemiAccurate on the huge scoop!
... Here we are, with an exploit that only affects people that enabled a remote management feature. If Intel had made this an optional addon that required a physical switch to enable, approximately the same number of people would be affected today, since it requires provisioning. It's not like every Intel system is silently waiting for an exploit payload.
I remapped mine from triggering Siri to simply be play/pause. I'm happy with it but I agree I'd like options. It would be nice to be able to trigger Siri once in a while or skip songs or modify volume.
