Every notable discovery has disproved something that everyone else thought was true. Naivety can be a superpower when inventing.

Microcontrollers. Pick an interesting project (google Arduino for beginners) and try making it work on an Arduino Uno. Once you get a full understanding of how hardware works it makes you a much better software engineer by far.

This is terrifying. The article is implying that the sailors knew not to use the internal systems for anything personally sensitive but continued to use it for government business. Cyber in the government is horribly broken.

These were commercial vessels, not government ones. The government, in this case, is the party raising the alarm.

This needs to exist. Congrats on building something awesome!

Thank you!
