I don’t work directly with PLCs but we do have them at my work. The main thing that makes these different from any other devices is that they typically control physical machines. Which means there is a real danger that them becoming compromised could lead to damaged equipment or even death.

Additionally, many PLCs use older OS versions like xp because their software is notoriously out of date (if it’s working why rewrite it when that could introduce safety concerns)

This “urgent” message from CISA does not prove that any of these devices are internet accessible just that if they are then they should be removed. If CISA wanted to require this then they would have released a binding operational directive (BOD) or an emergency directive (ED). Both of which are publicly viewable on their site.

Gay, straight, and lesbian are just convenient labels that we use to classify one type of attraction. Tbh I find it a bit silly that people are concerned about “would that make me gay?”

If you are still attracted to them then who cares. That attraction could be physical or it could be romantic but either way it depends on how you feel about that person.

This whole situation is making me strongly consider bringing a burner phone on my next vacation. That way I can wipe it before going through customs.

Any particular news sites you like or just a general app with music categories selected?

How do you discover new artists? That is the main thing keeping me from doing this.
