Episode Description: Troubles for Intel and the Future of Chip Manufacturing

Welcome to this episode where the hosts delve into the recent challenges faced by Intel, one of the leading chip manufacturers in the industry. They shed light on the delays encountered by Intel's seven nanometer chips and explore the company's potential reliance on other fabs for manufacturing. Additionally, the hosts examine the possibility of a shift from x86 to ARM architecture and the performance disparities between these two technologies.

Next, the hosts turn their attention to a recent news story regarding Windows 10. They discuss how certain IPs in the host file are being marked as malware and subsequently deleted by the operating system. To counteract this issue, the hosts propose alternative methods for blocking unwanted connections, such as utilizing a DNS server or employing browser-based ad blockers.

In this episode, the hosts also highlight Mozilla's new WireGuard-based VPN service. They delve into the security considerations surrounding automating SSH (Secure Shell) between remote hosts for backups. Emphasizing the importance of safeguarding the private key and implementing proper SSH hygiene and directionality, they provide insights on minimizing the risk of island hopping attacks.

To further explore the topic of SSH security, the hosts recommend the book "SSH Mastery" by Michael W. Lucas as a valuable resource.
