> Starlink is already a small data center! It has power, radiators, and compute!
It is not. This is like saying your phone is already a small data centre. While technically true, we're not talking about the same scale here. StarLink's compute power is a tiny fraction of a modern data centre GPU/TPU. Most of the power budget goes into communication (i.e. its purpose!).
And if you read the story, it's because he ignored the fact that the password manager didn't prompt auto-fill.
"I went to the link which is on mailchimp-sso.com and entered my credentials which - crucially - did not auto-complete from 1Password. I then entered the OTP and the page hung.

DMA cheats are only usable as many games aren't willing to pull-up their minimum requirements to play. IOMMU defeats DMA attacks. Secureboot (largely) solves pre-boot EFI related concerns.
I believe NK soldiers are there, by I'd trust even Putin more than US sources. After all, they only state what is in their interest. Exactly like Putin.

There are bad people on both side of the border - don't be fooled that they are more on the "other" side of the border because there might be ones that you are not seeing (yet). Blocking the whole "other side" is simply the "path of least resistance" or the "low hanging fruit". Creation and all other good things ALWAYS require more energy than destruction and other bad things. But creation/invention is the only activity that leads to progress and evolution - everything else is stalling, regression, devolution ...
Internet was created BY military FOR military - but it evolved into THE only thing in the world that connects people. ALL people.

The most general problem in Internet are not the malicious people - botnets can infect insecure devices ANYWHERE in the world.
The main problem is that some (many) of the ISPs at the last mile allow outgoing IP packets with source IP address which is outside of the IP range(s) these ISPs operate/own. Larger ISPs on the upper layer can not prevent this because otherwise IP routing will break. So it all depends on the "last mile" ISPs. And it is quite possible for the "status quo" to live for many years ....
The source for this article is SensorTower Store Intelligence, which claims to have "download and revenue data for nearly all mobile apps available in the App Store and GooglePlay". How are they getting revenue data when it's not publicly available (to my knowledge)?
