Despite that petition being denied, Part 47 97.309[1] is pretty clear that as long as the mode's "technical characteristics have been documented publicly" it's fair game, subject to 97.307(f) [2].
The Microsoft Precision Touchpad[1] devices are interfaced over I2C or USB. Bandwidth for I2C depends on implementation AFAIK, but should be plenty for a responsive touchpad.
If it's an issue in an early stage of the production pipeline and the same chemical contamination is in place for more than one lot, you eat up to an entire pipeline full of product.
I heartily recommend this talk. It and the corresponding proof-of-concept Intel userland packet processing driver[1] went a long way for me in removing a lot of the magic from low-level network packet handling and device management in Linux.
The submission title is taken from the post, but isn't a good description of what this is addressing. This is Trustico's response to DigiCert's revocation of certificates and emails to certificate recipients.
I have not been able to trigger this with ssh, but certainly have been able to with Screen Sharing, even after explicitly re-disabling the root account.
I think the standard approach for crates to work around problems like this is to patch the vendor's XML. Terrible that it's necessary, but workable. The "STM32F103xx.patch" in japaric's stm32f103 support crate [1] seems a decent example of the sort of hacks that are standard.

From my own experience and what I've seen from major US universities, this does not seem to be the case.
For intro (1st year-ish) CS, it looks like most places are teaching Python and C++, with some institutions (such as my own) using Java. An ACM article from 2014 actually has some numbers here. [0]
I graduated relatively recently with a bachelors degree, majoring in CS and Computer Engineering. I had only one course which actually used C, and that wasn't for my CS major. I've spent a fair amount of time since then doing low-level work on ARM micros, but definitely wasn't taught this in school.
Perhaps I'm overvaluing things, but $20k seems a bit low for this. It seems to me that Nintendo stands to lose a disproportionately larger amount of money to game piracy.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's great that they're incentivizing security research - it's just that given the history of piracy on their portable platforms, I'd expect a larger reward cap.
The surrounding paragraph gives a bit more helpful context.
"A typical startup is built around a single product, and some theory that people will pay money for that product. This theory eventually become false, and the company goes away."
The link to towerrecordsmovie.com is suggesting that many single-product companies outlive their product's usefulness, such as Tower Records. Tower Records was a large seller of physical music media (CDs, Casettes, Vinyl) which went out of business in the mid-2000s.
The author is suggesting that since Fog Creek is not a single-product company that this does not apply to them.
Incidentally, Tower Records didn't 'go away', it's still doing roaring business in Japan, specifically because Japanese like the tactile feel of CDs, and because Japan's anti-crime culture generally meant that file-sharing never became a thing [https://medium.com/cuepoint/the-tower-records-stuck-in-time-...].
A lot of the time when a product or service appears to have 'gone away' it's actually moved on to serving a different audience with different needs.
I'm glad to hear this. I'll never forget the hour or so I spent at the Tower Records store in Shibuya in the mid-90s. That store was gigantic! As a twelve year old with limited pocket money i had a tough time choosing the 3rd, 4th and 5th CDs I'd ever owned. Good times!
It's still a huge store, I was there last year. I thought it's a Japanese company in the first place, but apparently it wasn't? One of the biggest Japanese convenience store chains, Lawson, also used to be an American chain.
I don't know what amount of revenue they run, but tower.com is I believe the same company. They closed the brick and mortar stores in markets where those weren't competitive. It's good to be flexible. You can choose to follow a market and live or die with it, or you can choose to follow the customers to the new market. In the US, most of the market for certain items is via online orders.
