This comment doesn't seem too related to the article except for the words "Jason Snell" and "Realtek", and both of those appear misused. So I don't mean to be rude, but I'm guessing this is a chatbot? Skimmed for proper-nouns, then generic shrills about how the author and article are great and how technology's too complicated?

Good catch. I must say I concur with your assessment.

  You're wrong, go see my reply to the other guy. What a miserable lot you two make.

Here, would a chat bot pick apart your miserable comment like this? https://twitter.com/jsnell https://twitter.com/jsnell Oh no I mixed up social media handles I must be a chat bot > Skimmed for proper-nouns Oh no I mixed up social media handles I must be a chat bot > then generic shrills Huh? I'm complaining about the very real technology present in the Realtek chips that enables any moron with access to a web browser to send firmware-level commands anywhere in the world. Did you even read the article? > about how the author and article are great Are you a chatbot? I didn't even sing about the article being great, I asked if anyone had a real consumer application for the tech presented as an attack vector in the article. Go outside. Talk to a human being. I'm betting it's been a couple years for you if you're this bad at not only misjudging intention but going straight to "this must not be a human being, only a bot would respond with something I do not wholly understand". Again, what a miserable comment.

  Hah, okay, that sounds human enough. Sorry for the misunderstanding; I truly meant no offense. Thanks for clarifying! =)

      He said "I don't mean to be rude", meanwhile you're the one that's actually being rude.

  Chatbot detection protection? Throws some whataboutism and a human written paragraph attacking the comment to disguise things.
