  • It certainly is. ISO 27001 is a framework, not very prescriptive at all. Basically an auditor will ask “how do you ensure data isn’t leaving your facility in the form of discarded hardware?” If you say “here’s a link to our media destruction policy. It says all drives are wiped according to NIST 800-88 cryptographic erasure. If that is not possible or not applicable, the drive is destroyed. Here’s our log of decomissioned equipment” chances are very good they’ll say “OK great let’s move on to the next one” with only minor followup questions.







  • You sure did. It’s a clause that describes one reason to support the idea that the right to bear arms shall not be infringed. It’s not a limiting statement on the right to bear arms and how it should be infringed.

    The intent of the amendment is and always has been that of self protection - the government is not responsible for protecting your person, you are. The tools you use to protect yourself are called arms. The right to have, carry, and use those tools isn’t granted to us by the government, it’s an inalienable right inherent to being human.

    There are already massive restrictions within the state of California on who can carry a firearm either concealed or open, where firearms can be carried, and how they can be carried. These new regulations are not intended to improve the public safety, they’re intended to prevent those who have already jumped through countless hoops registering, proving themselves, and gaining explicit authorization to carry weapons, from exercising their right to self defense and from being able to choose how they can protect themselves. It’s intended to make us more dependent on a police force that continues to prove itself ineffective and largely corrupt.

    No children are being saved by this law.








  • Driving two 4k monitors at 10b120hz is pretty overkill to use thunderbolt for, is kind of my point. Is anyone actually being limited by that?

    Even with cameras, the storage generally isn’t that fast. CFexpress cards cant generally break 2GB/s, and even 8+k cameras generally record to that or maybe USB-C (and if you’re recording to a USBC device you’re probably just gonna use USBC instead of thunderbolt).

    NVMe that can do sustained write speeds like that will be full in a few minutes, unless you’re offloading to a massive high speed array over 10+gbit networking it just kind of seems like why bother?

    Don’t get me wrong, I like the idea of going to faster interfaces for the sake of speed, but I have experienced almost zero real use of thunderbolt in real life, and I usually keep a pretty good eye out. My real question was mostly focused on whether there are people actually using thunderbolt and if they’re actually limited by 40gbps and I’m kinda just bitching at this point





  • Anything besides parts and manuals.

    Requirements for devices to be feasibly repairable in the first place. A phone that’s effectively a brick of glue is still unrepairable regardless of whether you can buy overpriced parts for it.

    If the enforcement mechanism for “fair” pricing is for the general public to file a lawsuit, I can guarantee that pricing isn’t going to be very reasonable.

    Apple devices are notoriously hard to repair not just because they don’t provide a $50,000 diagnostic kit and overpriced parts, they’re hard to repair because they’re designed to be disposable. This bill does absolutely nothing to change that, which is probably why Apple supported it. Good PR with completely avoidable consequences for them
