BRN Discussion Ongoing

Pretty sure there are retirees, investors, and possibly you and me (via passive funds) invested in Plato. Look up PL8 on ASX.

I know everyone gets really emotive when it comes to shorting, especially when our SP is in the dumps, but I will say this again - they will go away when/if company performs (No, immaterial Anns are not considered 'performance' by market, because market doesn't have time to check the twitter feed of 2720 companies on ASX, it relies on what's informed on market predominantly, unless someone like Merc does a Merc).

Shorts don't dictate company performance, the whole market does based on what company says it does, when and if there are positive steps taken in the company's life, these shorts become longs and we are all happy.
Well, I don't even know what to say. DEFINITELY not me. I don't know why on earth anyone would be invested in BRN *as well as* Plato when Dave Allen has come straight out and told us that Plato's success is contingent on BRN's failure???

Side-channel attack on Cortex-M based systems not indicative of architectural flaws, Arm says

Side-channel attack on Cortex-M based systems not indicative of architectural flaws, Arm says

Researchers managed to attack MCUs commonly used in IoT devices, but this would work with any code with secret-dependent control flow, chip designer says​

Chip designer Arm has said that a successful side-channel attack on its TrustZone-enabled Cortex-M based systems cannot be considered a failure of the protection provided by the architecture.
Following a presentation at the recent Black Hat Asia infosec conference, Arm released the statement in response to allegations that their microcontrollers are vulnerable to side-channel attacks.
During their presentation titled Hand me your secret, MCU! Microarchitectural timing attacks on microcontrollers are practical, researchers from Portugal's Universidade do Minho (UdM) showcased the first functional micro-architectural timing side-channel attack on TrustZone-enabled Cortex-M based systems.
Contrary to the findings presented by the researchers, Arm contended that the micro-architectural timing side-channel attack does not signify a failure in the protective measures provided by the architecture.
"TrustZone technology for Armv8-M processors or the Security Extension in the Armv8-M architecture is designed to provide hardware enforced isolation between software environments. This arrangement protects against most software attacks and covers the security needs for many applications," Arm said.
A side-channel attack is a type of security exploit that focuses on gathering information or influencing the execution of a system using indirect effects or characteristics of the system or its hardware, rather than directly targeting the programme or its code.

These attacks often involve measuring coincidental hardware emissions to extract sensitive information, such as cryptographic keys.
While side-channel attacks were historically challenging to carry out, their prevalence has increased due to a number of factors.
Advances in measuring equipment has significantly enhanced its sensitivity, allowing for the collection of highly detailed data about a system during its operation.
Moreover, the increased computing power and the application of machine learning techniques empower attackers to gain a better understanding of the extracted raw data.
This deeper comprehension of targeted systems enables attackers to effectively exploit subtle variations within a system.
Microcontrollers (MCUs), such as Arm's Cortex-M, were previously considered unlikely targets due to their simplicity.
But following the successful side-channel attack against Cortex-M, researchers are now warning that such attacks could have far-reaching consequences, since MCUs are extensively used in almost every IoT device.
"We can basically break all security isolation guarantees in Arm MCUs, including the state-of-art ones with the TEE TrustZone-M technology," Pinto said.
According to Arm, the security extensions implemented in the Armv8-M architecture do not explicitly assert protection against side-channel attacks arising from control flow or memory access patterns.
"Indeed, such attacks are not specific to the Armv8-M architecture; they may apply to any code with secret-dependent control flow or memory access patterns. This type of attack can be mitigated by ensuring that the control flow and memory accesses patterns created by the program do not depend on secret state. This is already a common feature in security critical code like cryptography libraries," it added.
Arm has affirmed its commitment to enhancing security measures and facilitating the creation of more secure solutions within its ecosystem.
The firm highlighted the introduction of the "Data Independent Timing" feature in the Armv8.1-M architecture as an example of their efforts to mitigate data dependent timing side-channel attacks.
This feature aims to provide protection against such attacks by eliminating timing variations that could be exploited.

I'm Spartacus!
Hi Hopalong, thanks for the polite and civil response. Not sure what the other poster's issue is, but I do understand your point because it's exhausting over there fighting the good fight.

If we all bowed out, though, we'd effectively be participating in the running down of the sp by allowing the dissemination of unchallenged commentary bagging out the company and the tech.

How's that benefiting any of us?
Hi again Kiki.
Many of us spent years over there, fighting the good fight as we saw it at the time, and some who enjoy conflict continue the battle.
Personally I eventually saw it as a nil sum game where arguing with the nay sayers merely gave them oxygen and fed either their 30 cents a click livelihood or their unbalanced troll like psychology. In an effort to continue there I eventually wound up with so many on ignore that the threads I were reading became virtually unintelligible.
I don't control the internet or its content and will not lose any sleep over disingenuous manipulators plying their filthy trade.
Good luck to you in your crusade cleaning up the muck.
For mine, I find it too corrupt and unedifying to waste any more time there.

I said ''passive'' investment too, so in your Super we all could be a part of it if we have invested in index funds etc.

Also, their performance has been steady, so normal for investors to put money on it in these trying times.
Ok, understood. Well sorry, not sorry, to anyone invested in Plato, though, because that ill-advised marketing campaign on the part of Dave Allen has surely just gotten them into a world of legal hurt.

All i want to know is who is their legal representation and is that firm publicly listed because I'm going to invest in them with what practically feels like insider knowledge right now as I suspect Plato might end up responsible for a significant revenue boost for that firm over the coming year or so! 😵‍💫🤨

Seriously, I'm writing to BRN & WBT and sending them the published content and asking them to have their own legal representation review it, advise the Board and, hopefully, challenge Plato forthwith on the manner in which they've chosen to present this, specifically naming BRN & WBT and yet being vague af on the metrics by which they've assessed them - they've practically alleged corporate fraud, or at least that's how it's certainly coming across. The "Clayton's" type!

If those invested in BRN are not absolutely ropeable about this then I don't even know what to say. This absolutely cannot be left unchallenged.

The Plato fund that WANCA is involved in shorting BRN is the Plato global alpha fund (formerly called the plato global net zero hedge fund ) This fund is not listed on the asx, its a unlisted managed fund that is struggling for investors (22million dollar fund atm).
This has nothing to do with the plato income maximiser (PL8) listed managed fund. Completly different.

Same company, different fund.

The tech in the new E-Class is illuminating – literally!

One of my favourite features is the optional DIGITAL LIGHT*. This innovative headlamp technology by #MercedesBenz has a light module with extremely powerful LEDs whose light is refracted and directed by 1.3 million micro-mirrors. The resolution of more than 2.6 million pixels per vehicle delivers incredibly precise light distribution.

Here are a few “highlights”:

▶️ Projection function: This can assist drivers by projecting symbols onto the road ahead. In roadworks, for example, projected guidelines help navigate through narrow lanes.

▶️ Pedestrian warning: DIGITAL LIGHT can also highlight pedestrians identified in the danger area on your road lane with a spotlight. It clarifies a pedestrian’s position by projecting directional points onto the road.

▶️ Adaptive High-Beam Assist Plus: This can control the pixels of the headlamps individually and adjusts the range and shape of the light cone to the current traffic situation. It’s extremely accurate when masking out oncoming traffic or highly reflective traffic signs.

▶️ Topographic light: The topographic light uses the vehicle's navigation data and adjusts the light cone accordingly. When driving over a crest, for example, the headlamp doesn’t shine into the sky, but onto the road.

All-in-all a truly enlightening experience.

This.

Many (including myself) don’t use socials - so to rely on this as a primary method of coms is unacceptable. How many have sold because they just aren’t receiving news to build confidence? The stocks primary listing is on the ASX and this should be the mechanism for company progress announcements. Other companies manage this, why cant we?!
It has been noted on several occasions that the company issues the Press Releases on their corporate Web site. I have also seen this particular article appear in the news feed for BRCHF on Fidelity's platform and from Reuters. I consider neither of those sources to be social media.

It has been stated that because they had received a warning from the ASX so they are erring on the side of caution.

A similar anecdote, I once got a ticket for running a red light because I entered the intersection after the traffic light turned yellow. Now when I approach an intersection even when very close, and the light turns yellow, I end up slowing (sometimes rather quickly) and stopping.

Because of my negative experience, I've been conditioned to do this. It torques several drivers behind me and once got me rear-ended because the person tailgating me expected me to run it like many others.

I don't blame BRN for this. I blame the use of officiousness that drove them to be this cautious in the first place.

Surely going to the website of the company you are thinking of investing is not unreasonable.

Don't we want to spread news to people who aren't yet thinking of investing?

Yeah mate, we do. I don't want to bicker about it, but social media, especially twitter is the closest thing to live news. If you want a message to spread to people who aren't already keeping their finger on the pulse; twitter, YT, LinkedIn etc are the way. I'm not saying it's the best way for a company to release ANNs, it's possibly the worst way for SHs, but Im just focused on the spreading to new people bit that you and Rocket mentioned.

Let us be honest who cares what Plato writes today. If they shorted BRN it was a while ago and now goes hard writing so they can cover. I mean it's pretty silly if he just got on a short now after an 80 % correction lol. Does not have much real l to make.

But feel free to write them don't think much time or effort will be spent.

Right, so while some are bickering about Bacon Lover being a bully, which is bullycrap by the way, I'm going to get a little excited by Ant 61 using AKIDA. I can already see the news articles surrounding the satellite robot. Everyone knows about satellites and space junk so the general public will love this, or at least understand it. What's more important though is NASA (and other space agencies) undoubted interest in a technology that can reduce the amount of space junk that is created. Space junk is a huge threat to satellites and manned space missions alike. If NASA is using AKIDA for other purposes then I'm feeling some potential space ubiquity building here. There's also the possibility that AKIDA can be used to enhance the current tracking process of the said 'junk'....did I say ubiquitous?
Right, back to the bullying BL BS 🤣

Is Vodafone a chance to be the telco company Sean has mentioned 🤷🏻‍♂️

Soaring through Spanish skies: Vodafone at MWC 2023​

BY ALAN LU

From remotely piloting drones to detecting forest fires using IoT, Vodafone showed off the powerful potential of its technology at the Mobile World Congress is Spain.​

Mobile World Congress (MWC) is the world’s biggest and most important telecommunications industry conference and trade show, taking place annually in Barcelona.
At the 2023 MWC, Vodafone showed how valuable and useful its network can be in some unusual scenarios, as well as how it’s helping to lead the industry in the development and usage of critical technology.
As the Congress comes to an end, we give you the Vodafone ‘news in brief’ highlights.
  • Pilots in Barcelona flew a drone in Seville….1,000km away. Signals were sent between the drone and the pilot’s controls and VR headset over Vodafone’s network. The headset enabled the pilots to see the airspace around the drone.
  • Vodafone built a miniature 5G base station, using a modified Raspberry Pi mini desktop PC as the foundation. Such units could be used to bring 5G Mobile Private Networks to many more small and medium-sized businesses.
  • Authorities in Sardinia are trialling IoT sensors to see if they can predict forest fires by monitoring temperature, humidity and air pressure.
  • Vodafone and Orange will work together to improve mobile signal in rural areas across Europe, starting with a pilot in Romania using OpenRAN.
  • Vodafone and Intel unveiled a prototype radio unit (a crucial part of every mast) built using OpenRANtechnology.
  • The Lenovo Connect IoT service is now using Vodafone’s network.
  • Vodafone has worked with Orange, Telefonica and Ericsson to develop APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to make it easier for software developers to use 5G network features in their programs and apps.
Many of these MWC showcase developments tie in with work done by Vodafone in the UK, such as:

It’s not managements job to drive 5km under the speed limit or stop prematurely at an intersection, it’s their job to drive professionally and optimally. If they sped and got a ticket, then in future do the limit, don’t drive under it. This is why they earn the big salaries, this is whey they were engaged in the first place. Many other companies on the ASX have zero issues announcing partnerships - there’s literally a mechanism for this… it’s called a non-price sensitive announcement.

As an investor, it isn’t my job to check the website for updates, it’s the companies to ensure I’m made aware of that information. This is done via the ASX, and distributed by my trading platform. The system was designed to work this was and every other company on the ASX runs this way - why are we any different?

You may or may not have noticed that many companies have pulled back their ASX announcements over the last year or so. I have other stocks that used to continually update via ASX non price sensitive announcements. They very rarely have anything through that avenue now, but have taken to sending out newsletters to shareholders.
Your question has been answered a myriad of times, it appears none of the responses are to your satisfaction.
I think your premise has merit, but I strongly believe the company is communicating in the best interests of shareholders, given we are on an ASX watch list for “pumping” announcements thanks to our previous CEO.
It is managements job to drive safely and responsibly. I believe they are! I’m happy in their vehicle.
Please talk to the driver and don’t annoy the other passengers with repetitive complaints.
