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Additionally, many PLCs use older OS versions like xp because their software is notoriously out of date (if it's working why rewrite it when that could introduce safety concerns)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

If they want to do business in the US then it follows that they would need to follow us law when conducting that business. It is the same reason that valve has to follow California law despite not being headquartered in California.

If that weren't the case then businesses would just move to international waters and claim to only need to follow maritime law.

I would highly recommend actually reading the full text of the bill. It is a lot more than what is in the body of the post.

It is not clear to me whether a site would need to be hosted in the US to fall under this law or if they would just need to be accessible in the US.

I would post the definitions but there are 7 titles under this law and 5 of them each have their own definition.

Edit: just to be clear. I hate this law too. ID requirements will kill many platforms or people will use vpns to circumvent.

Highly recommend against relying on your doctor to answer this. Ask your pharmacist. They will likely have a much better idea on the reason for the suggested limit.

git commit --amend --no-edit and git push --force-with-lease

No-edit skips opening an editor for the commit message and just reuses the same message.

Force-with-lease will force push but only if your local is not missing commits that remote has. Ie other people haven't pushed anything since you last pulled.

I have used linux the better part of a decade but have never really followed kernel development.

What does it mean for the kernel to be "monolithic"? What would need to change in the kernel for it to no longer be considered "monolithic"?

This might be controversial but one of the main cons for me is actually the wide selection of tools that do the same basic function. It is also a pro. But when I don't know how to do something, say for instance partitioning a disk, I might Google it and Google could give me one of a few different valid options but it doesn't know that my distro shipped with a gui partition manager.

I just feel that it can make things a bit more confusing. Not even to mention when an app goes EOL but does not list a disclaimer on their page to say as such. Please, just say "X is deprecated, consider using Y instead".
