This is very near my hometown (Nebbiuno; I am from Verbania).
Lots of very old people here. The world's oldest lady used to be from Verbania, she died at 117.
Northern Italy is less loud than southern Italy but it has a quiet beauty.

I had this problem on my Oculus Rift box (remember those? it still runs beat saber just fine) and the solution was to solder some beefy capacitors on the end of unused power cables coming out of the power supply. If I recall correctly it was the 12V line that did it, which I didn't expect.
The buzz isn't completely gone but now I can't hear it unless I'm paying attention to it, which if I am playing beat saber, I'm not.

I think if someone yoinks your phone and installs stuff on it the basic options are "call the cops" or "make them call the cops".
Can we please keep calling the DoD with its actual name and not humor the stupids? Thanks.

I like this... right now I'm using a ras pi 3 or 4 as a file server and it seems to mostly work?

At Snyk, we've been working on this for a while. Here's our flagship open source project consolidating a lot of the MCP risk factors we've discovered over the last year or so into actionable info: https://github.com/invariantlabs-ai/mcp-scan
Missed opportunity to call it TRON.
ALAN
It's called Tron. It's a security
program itself, actually. Monitors
all the contacts between our system
and other systems... If it finds
anything going on that's not scheduled,
it shuts it down. I sent you a memo
on it.
DILLINGER
Mmm. Part of the Master Control Program?
ALAN
No, it'll run independently.
It can watchdog the MCP as well.
DILLINGER
Ah. Sounds good. Well, we should have
you running again in a couple of days,
I hope.
Those probably aren't STEM PhD students, whose tuition (especially at Ivies!) is normally paid for out of research grants or teaching funds.
For a final project, we built a cool autopilot, and demoed it on several vehicles, including a precision dropper airplane, and a sailboat.
The airplane happened to be slightly better than what the USAF admitted to having at the time.
There were 5 of us working on that project, including 1 US citizen.
The citizen got a NASA internship out of it. The rest of us were put on a list and I for one had a very tough time getting a green card later on even with a NIW.
I shudder to think what this maladministration is doing to foreign STEM students now!
