Based on a quick glance, the law isn't a bad idea. FOSS is a boone to the economy, FOSS is the critical core that everything else is built on. The law just needs exemptions that state if the full product (including client, server, the full stack) is free to download, modify, compile, and run, then the project's exempt.

Even though costs will be passed to the customer, this is still beneficial, as it creates pressure to move away from centralized tech.

    Patrick Lamplmair, CTO at the Austria-based cybersecurity firm Tributech, demonstrates the Peter Principle by not understanding what a process controller is, says a simple cut-in/cut-out w/ deadband logic should've known better, and probably thinks this could have been prevented by removing the image of a flame from the UI of the controller.

    ... and suddenly, overnight, claude or whatever will have very detailed, intricate knowledge around Cisco's hardware, almost like it's regurgitating internal documentation. Hm.

    Yes, with Möbius Sync. You'll have to copy the photos on the iPhone to a directory where Files can see them because of a security thing on Apple's side, then connect Möbius to the Linux desktop running syncthing, and point Möbius to the photos location in Files to make the share.

    I'm usually arachnophobic, but once I had an orb weaver decide to live on the back of my work truck. Freaked me out at first, but I let it be. It would come out of it's hiding spot at night to make its web across the truck, and I would watch it clean up in the morning before I left. Almost got it on my face a few times while doing overnight work. It stayed with me all summer, I could always find it hidden under a door seal or up on the ladder rack, tucked away.

    It was nice almost having a pet. Then, one morning, I get ready to leave for work. The web was still up, tattered, and spider bro was nowhere to be seen...

    I work with these controllers. Remote access is a lifesaver, makes remote diagnosis much easier, and lets us tell the client to move product before it spoils. Similar refrigeration controllera have had remote capability since the dial-up era, this isn't a new trend.

    With that said, these things need to be behind a VPN. I don't care if the manufacturer promises their controller is safe for direct access from the internet.

    It's kinda like a factory assembly line, once these things get installed and the system is stable, the client gets allergic to any changes. I come across old control systems that have been running for 30+ years, once it's in it's in.
