Almost assuredly none, or maybe in the context of Ed saying “the only time I pray is before the judge” but that is an actual joke so it couldn’t possibly exist in Dustin.

I think the implication is that each device has its own password.

Which you can't really do with IoT appliances because they lack the necessary components for password protection.

The worst part is that I'm pretty sure their first or second date had them cosplaying as Star Trek officers and going to a con, so it's literally impossible for Gunther to not know that Bets is active in the cosplay scene.

My impression is that she's only just started and she already has fans because the Evanses only exposure to internet celebrities is when they suddenly show up on the Ellen show. So as far as the Evanses can tell, this completely unknown person just appeared out of nowhere with millions of subscribers and they assume that's just how it works. You start "streaming" (whatever that means) and then you're famous.

In today's Corto Maltese: Germany's campaign in WW1 is a fascinating tale of strategy and intrigue, with General Vorbeck being arguably one of the most successful on-field commanders in the entire affair, even though he knew he would always be fighting a losing battle. If you get a chance to read up about it, you should - it's one of the lesser known conflicts, up there with the Russian Civil war of the '20s or the Korean War in the 50's, or Corto is feeling his own mortality, or It's a shame Pratt didn't detail these masks as beautifully as in his earlier works.

It's not a loving show and tell session or verbal exam, it's a loving master's thesis (even though Holbrook calls it a dissertation but you know, loving Holbrook).

For those not in academia (lucky you), a master's thesis is basically your first proper scientific publication*. It's not the academic version of Dragon's Den where you have to convince some loving "dissertation board" of your ability to secure IoT devices or program FPGA chips or whatever. It's a loving 20-100 page academic publication that explains the problem, explains the existing research on the topic to give it context, explains what you did, why you did it, what you think you accomplished by doing it, and what future avenues of research you identified in the process.

gently caress you Holbrook.

* not really because it's not peer reviewed, but your thesis supervisors kind of help you in writing a proper publication that COULD be peer reviewed and follows the guidelines and standards expected of academic works. It is supposed to demonstrate your ability and expertise in your chosen field, but more importantly your ability to conduct scientific research. A master's thesis isn't expected to have major scientific contributions, although of course it will have some original content. I wrote my master's thesis on applying traditional requirements engineering methods in game development and if someone really wants to read it I can send you a link to the PDF on my school's library page.

For content, Jäätävä Spede is Pertti Jarla's autobiographical comic strip that runs weekly alongside his Fingerpori. This time he discusses Finnish mentality.

But not in the Holbrook sense, I would imagine, because this is literally some show and tell science fair bullshit. "Dear disseration committee, I have secured my IoT fridge against cyber attacks, try to hack it or give master's degree please".

I know disseration defenses are a thing (and my thesis writing seminar included presentations and semi-public defenses as well), but to the best of my understanding they're mostly formality and tradition at this point, or part of the maturity test, to gauge how well you generally understand the topic. Even doctoral dissertation defenses are mostly tradition and theater at this point; your dissertation opponent or the Custos aren't going to fail you because they weren't wowed by your ability to secure your talking toaster or whatever the gently caress this bullshit is. The merits of your work have been evaluated already, and those merits are in the level of your scientific work.

E: I can't stop thinking about how and why this bothers me so much, so here I go again:

Holbrook's idea of a master's thesis seems to be that it's the equivalent of the final practical exam in some single course, where you have to hack a website or something, like he thinks the master's thesis for a Master of Archeology would be digging up a bone the committee buried in their backyard and if you can find it, you're a Master of Archeology. The point of a thesis defense isn't to prove you can dig a hole or install Apache2 on a web server because those things are academically meaningless; the point is for you to demonstrate you have a thorough understanding of your chosen field of science, the ability to conduct research in that field, and to place that research in the appropriate context. This isn't a degree from a vocational school or something.

My thesis defense involved several hours of scrutiny. It was by no means theater - students in my department have failed the defense in the recent past. If my thesis had involved an external physical object as an example, it is indeed possible the committee would have examined it directly. Different departments do things differently. Holbrook's work is full of bullshit, but the basic idea of the defense procedure isn't a case of bullshit.
