Turbos! The future is turbos! :D

That seems like a sound strategy. In fairness, I bet that they could make it up the Peak with their power unit.

Just kidding!

Hey now, you can’t talk shit about LS motors being bellybuttons and have a SBF powered Fox, they made (however many LS motors GM made) x 5 Fox body cars!

GM did make a billion of those engines. I would counter that 1000 HP in anything is not in fact, boring. The ironic thing is that people who complain about LS motors being “me too” motors, are just being “me too” by complaining about it. The cycle continues.

I’m just stirring the shit here, don’t take this stuff too…

They’d have succeeded against Russia if only he had that sweet, sweet V8 torque curve and you know it.

Eh. I built a 1000 HP turbo LS1 RX7. I don’t think a 500 HP rotary is any cooler. Guess I’m not hip, oh well. I like fast cars, I don’t really give two flying fornications what powers them. My issues with the rotary have more to do with its reliability with forced induction. 4 rotor race cars? Hell yeah. Turbo…

Calm down dude, just a joke. He can have all the dorito in a peanut motors he wants.

That’s what you get for un-LS-ing your RX7. Pain. Lots of pain.

Negative.

All of my research says the above is correct. I have a drone that I just like to play around with. I keep it relatively low (less then 150-200' generally) and mostly just fly around my yard/parks/etc. It’s just a toy like my radio control helicopters and I try to be responsible with it. I live 5.8 miles from the…

I’d buy it for around half that price. It’d be a fun daily driver. At 13,500 though? Crack pipe, and hard.

No argument from me. Network segmentation and layer 4-7 security and controls are how you prevent and/or contain things like this. Just remember that many (most) companies either don’t have that at all, or don’t have it implemented in a way that works effectively. I have spent the past 12 years in medical and…

I don’t disagree with anything you said. My point was about patching and it’s complexity. There is a lot of complexity to doing what you’re discussing, but I would agree that’s the path people should be on. That’s why I noted the “Myriad clear issues” bit. There were failings that allowed this, but calling…

The catch is, many backup solutions can also end up crypto-locked if they’re not well segmented from the network this is on, regardless of patch level. Ain’t that sucky? Cold backups or agent based backups that don’t expose the filesystem should be safe(ish) though.

And I, in turn, shall de-gray you. Well, for this post at least. ;)

And to be clear here, I don’t work for ANY of the affected companies and I have Mac, Windows and Linux systems I use daily. I like all of them, they just all have their pros/cons.

Hi all, network and security architect here. A few things about this article, its assumptions and some of the comments below...

1. Saying IT should have patched these things a while back is a great statement to make it sound like their IT is incompetent in an article, but it’s disingenuous at best. Microsoft often…

I did not. I swear. Google Maps “Andreas, PA”, drive down Lizard Creek Road and look for an old barn by the post office on the right. You can JUST see the Mustang in the barn if you get the right angle. I think the floorboard is the box on the road.

I purchased a ‘65 Mustang based on an eBay ad, from a chap out near Allentown, PA. I live in Fort Wayne, IN, so about 9 hours each way to pick it up/bring it home. Not optimal, but doable.

The last crash I was in, I hit a Toyota Corolla in the rear with my Impreza at about 30-35 mph. It was less of a hit and more of a punt kicking of the poor Toyota, which had a crease in the roof, laterally, where the chassis bent in half. The Subaru was fine (airbags didn’t even deploy) though it needed a new…
