A standard splash screen on load that pops up for 10 seconds and says "this program has known active vulnerabilities that are unpatched". If people choose to ignore it, that's on them. Cheap and easy, no?
- adrianN 9y agoThat still requires that a third party is allowed to flash things on my screen without my explicit consent.
- DanielBMarkham 9y agoDoes it? We already have a solution to this, which I hate: walled gardens. I'm exploring options that preserve the peace while not letting companies effectively own their users. Maybe there is no answer that makes everybody happy. That's why it's worth asking questions. Just so I understand this, you're saying that if you have a piece of hardware that's say, taking down the local ISP because you're running compromised software on it, you don't want to even be notified before your box is compromised or that there might be a problem. Well, dang. Something's going to happen. That much is sure. What's the first notification you'd like that you're destroying the internet experience for others and perhaps ruining a local business? SWAT team at the door? I hear your complaint. I'm just not able to figure out how it makes sense.
- adrianN 9y agoI don't want other people to be able to change things on my computer. If my setup is causing problems on their end, they have my contact information and can tell me over traditional routes. An ISP can cut off my internet connection if they detect suspicious traffic.
