As long as you have room in memory, you can add functionality.

Oh yes you can patch it - that's how I got the 20 year old laminator working where I work. If the hardware is still good you can absolutely change firmware if you have the PLC control software (like RockWell ControlFlash) or know how to manipulate the ladder logic directly.

Until about the top-end of the 3000 RTX series released, the GTX 1080 was still king of raster performance.

I'm playing modern games like Marvel Rivals at 1440p no problem. Risk of Rain 2 4k no problem. STALKER 2 1080p no problem. It even runs most of my VR games perfectly fine, with me only needing to switch to my RTX 5060 machine for Into the Radius 2.

Even today, it is a very capable card, despite the power draw.

All of this remote crap is meant to try to eliminate a physical presence on-site, which is stupid because when things eventually break, a physical presence is required on-site anyways.

One of my jobs in aerospace is systems reliability - an unstaffed system is not a reliable one.

Man can make it, man can break it.

And as this workaround leaves the original Secure Element intact, good luck detecting the supply chain attack.

You must have a hardware problem, as I'm playing 4K videos on a 1st-gen Ryzen and GTX 1080 using Firefox and I've never had a single issue since I got the machine, around the 4th week the processor was available to purchase.

To boot, refrigeration has been wholly automatic for decades. It literally runs itself. It doesn't need any network connectivity other than to say "I work" and "I'm broken" and that's it. Allowing control commands to be sent over the network is, yet again, just asking for trouble.

30 years of WASD gaming will do that.

In many cases this is simply because we did not sign and ratify parts of the convention updates, thus we are not a signatory to those statutes. No way to truly punish those that aren't willing participants, except to make them unwilling participants.

Please, any competent software dev business has eyes on this page on an hourly basis.

I'm in aerospace and we're crawling on this site, all the way at the top levels.

Again, tell me you don't actually handle quality without directly saying so.

Tell me you don't run AS9100D quality inspections without saying so directly.

Both parties fucked up.

Lockheed's job is to follow the customer's specifications.

NASA's job is to check to make sure what they paid for is what they received.

I do this every single day as a quality inspector here. I don't know why a bunch of highly-degreed engineers can't do a simple job that a person with oonly a GED does without fail.

I'd counter and suggest it is expensive because almost nobody gives a damn about the first 3 layers in the OSI model, and have pushed most security responsibility up to layers 4-7. That's roughly half of your attack surface still exposed.

And they're never installed in config chains that high voltage - cell spacing between cells is typically very low and only capable of withstanding ~5kV before internal arcing occurs.

Also, your typical 72-cell solar panel is only 32V.
