My security briefing was that Specter includes both Intel and AMD and that Meltdown is just Intel. ARM processors were not clean cut on which specific ones were impacted, some were, others weren’t but it wasn’t easy to categorized at that point.

To be clear, AMD is impacted by Specter in the same vulnerability issue. Less easily exploited thankfully, but still an issue.

I’ve gotta wonder if there will be an aftermarket front bumper conversion that uses the updated headlight assembly. As a 2016 owner, I’d be tempted.... I was already tempted by the Rocky Road steel bumper just to change the front looks a bit even though I don’t really want a permanently installed winch on my daily

No issues after 40,000 miles on my ‘16 (trailhawk with 6 cyl) but I know others weren’t so lucky. It’s been an absolute gem to drive actually.

Correct, Flic does not talk to SmartThings. You can work around it by having the Flic do an activity that SmartThings can see, such as having the ST app notice a notification or text message on your phone but it’s kludgey.

It’s been done. The SmartThings forum has instructions on hooking it up to an ST Arduino. :)

Wife: “Honey, so for the lamp, was it one click, two clicks, a triple click?”

It was happening before they removed the protections, so I can’t imagine that it’ll take long. (For a recent reference that is well known refer to the time an ISP intentionally slowed down all Netflix traffic to extort “fast lane” fees)

Gotta say that most of the posters here are spot on.

For the folks criticising my response:

I’m in 2-4 cities per week during the busy season at work and am frequently in Houston. My best tips are all around avoiding the things that make Houston a terrible place to visit....

Just adding that some of my colleagues travel with pre-check but due to their choice of shoes or belts, still have to do the usual partial strip tease to get through the metal detectors. Apparently quite a few heels as well as men’s shoes have just enough metal in the soles to set it off.

I’ve owned two of those before, trust me, that’s just a temporary condition.

First, if you just want a place to chuck your bags for the day, nearly any hotel will stow baggage for free. I do it all the time, just walk up to reception and ask if you can drop off your bags for the day. I’ve never once been asked any further questions. I don’t feel bad at all about this since I always use hotels

Just keep in mind that he intentionally exposed much less data than pretty much all of us have had leaked and was completely compromised. He posted his SSN only, but not DOB, complete address history, complete loan history, and complete phone number history which are all in this leak.

You should look up the wiki for LifeLock and what happened to the guy that owns it. It is certainly not failsafe and the guy practically had his life ruined. It can be useful, but it’s limitations should be understood.

For those suggesting the insurance company would have had to inspect it and such, just ask yourself, what’s the chances that someone with an old Prelude with a blown transmission has flood damage insurance on their car. If the due is liability only (possible) that’s gonna suck no matter what. Calling it a “total loss”

They spent money to perform a validation on a hypothesis. Com’on, it’s basic scientific principals, let’s be better than those who are anti-science. I’d personally have loved to have my misconceptions about this group proven wrong and instead have highlighted other possible motives.

As a a person who can both easily pick most commercial locks, and can spoof smartlocks, I have smartlocks on my house.
