Apples and oranges.
A person's expectations and rights relating to a discussion on a public forum are nothing like those relating to a device you own.
GP's "pretty hot take" is correct.
- bigyikes 5y agoWhat if I’m aware of the image scanning wasting my CPU cycles, just like I’m aware of comments wasting my brain cycles? I don’t think my “rights” related to accessing my OS software is much different than my rights related to accessing discussion forum software. Seems pretty apples to apples to me. (I don’t like image scanning, and I don’t like wasted brain cycles, if that matters)
- hda2 5y ago> What if I’m aware of the image scanning wasting my CPU cycles, just like I’m aware of comments wasting my brain cycles? Before buying the device? Sure, if you want. You would be aware that those wasted cycles and wasted network traffic are part of the price. But what about the rest of us who aren't like you, who bought the device without knowing before hand that this theft would take place?
