AES-GCM is also used in the Bluetooth Low Energy protocol, which is commonly used for IoT-purposes. As a result it’s more often than not available as a hardware-accelerated peripheral, saving both time and power. There’s also hardware-RNG available in those cases.
I think one reason nonce-reuse is a problem in IoT is lack of experience and awareness. Up until relatively recently a lot of embedded development was constrained to just offline devices, so cryptography wasn’t really required.
Black Mesa is a modernised version, so it plays different, more like a modern shooter. The original has aged well compared to many other games from its era.
I don't think it's valid to write off all unions based on anecdotal evidence. For every example of bad unionisation one can probably provide one or more counter-examples of good unionisation (e.g. the Scandinavian countries).
Well, yes, but if there's a one-to-one correspondence between good unions and bad unions,that pretty much implies that the expected value of a union vote is zero. It's just the same as not unionizing.
In my personal anecdotal experience, the unions at the places I've worked have been mired in factions. They supported some workers but not others because they picked sides. They weren't just neutral, they undermined some workers to benefit others. It really soured me on them.
I'm surprised the De'Longhi BLE protocol doesn't have _any_ replay attack protection. I get that making coffee isn't a safety-critical operation, but you could do some hilariously annoying denial-of-service on the communal coffee machines.
+1 for Le Monde Diplomatique. They also have localised variations with region-specific articles in addition to the translated main articles. The political orientation is to the left, but IMO it doesn't get in the way of the content.
The latest Electronic Design to Delivery Index (EDDI) report for September (available here [1], but behind a free subscription) indicates this as well, with a general increase in component supply. IC's are still low, but have been increasing since the seemingly largest recent dip in supply in May 2021.
It's going to be interesting to see the report for October to see if the trend is continued.
