I guess the increased bandwidth should at least show up on the ISP bill since that's the only place anyone would notice.
But we're pretty far from having a system that isn't perfect for botnets and malicious proxies hiding on your network.
Kinda crazy how my ISP doesn't even show me my usage on the bill. But then again every time I call them for something, they try to convince me I need something more than the minimum plan, and they're BS depends on me not knowing which tier I need.

Not sure about other places, but where I live ISPs don't have bandwidth limits over which they make you pay an extra. In extreme cases they might suspend service if your usage is deemed abusive though, but I never heard of this happening to people I know IRL.
Sure. And that's yet another enabler of the status quo where malicious actors have infinite resources: every compromised computer or internet of shit product has unmetered high quality residential bandwidth.
advanced users can segregate all their iot crap into separate network which allows keeping an eye on what goes on in there. but you need to know what your normal safe baseline looks like to be able to identify something weird happening.
of course there is lot of fancy tools built around this topic too, stuff like zeek and suricata almost certainly could be used to identify possible compromises. especially in a separate iot network, which should have otherwise fairly regular traffic patterns. but realistically, idk if anyone has been very successful in implementing such detection.
Thanks for sharing. I haven't noticed anything on the Firefox extension under the same name. ublock may be stopping it. I can investigate and post what I find here in a few hours.
I remember hearing a lot of sentiment mid-2010s about how since he was a successful businessman that he will make good decisions in the White House. America was longing for someone that wasn't 'status quo', so to say.
I agree with you on the personality side, but I also think his overall fame from TV, real estate, etc. is just as big a factor to his political success.
Yeah the whole "successful businessman" schtick is pretty much a trope in US elections. Before Trump it was Ross Perot, before Perot it was others like Wendell Wilkie. Trump had that going for him AND the celebrity status like Reagan. These things are basically status buffs for elections in the US.
Very useful when you need to do logic on Iterables. Feels almost like python.
For example, in a game you may have a situation where you maintain a runtime list of objects with a certain property but you want to filter by some other property
Interesting. I remember a gripe being the performance of LINQ wasn't great even for a webapp years back. I'm assuming its negligible nowadays or did you notice less frames when the LINQ runs?
I don't know why LINQ would have any better or worse performance than a standard loop for most tasks.
Abusing LINQs will of course lead to degraded performance. I've found if you want to insert more logic into your loop, sometimes you have to switch batch to good 'ol loops. I'm sure folks abuse the convenience factor to write more loops rather than modify existing ones which can lead to degraded performance.
For my game it's irrelevant because most linq loops are only triggered by events so there's no loops running on every frame.
For example, lets say you have state machine based AI, and a scripted event triggers tells an enemy starship to change allegiance. The enemy starship then scans a runtime set of enemy factions using LINQ that are within 3 km to identify new targets to attack.
i think his point was that the actual LINQ (language integrated query) is already superior to transposing it back to the functional fluent version. i largely agree, especially when you're doing joins and group by.
i've worked with people in the past who refused to allow any actual LINQ in the codebase (use resharper to convert it to fluent!) even though it essentially became obfuscated.
Agreed. That's how I would write it in a professional codebase. I added it to show the transformation from separate functions -> LINQ one-liner. Cheers!
Having things on one line is not an upside. Just think of all the Bash one-liners that are write once edit never. Doubly so in what's essentially a tutorial.
How can regular users of Android, smart TV's, etc. identify these IoT devices that have been compromised?
