My reading of your parent comment was that "no software or hardware was remotely disabled" was intended to mean, "there was nothing even a little bit like dialing hardware or software," not,"no hardware or software was disabled from a distance."

How is that a reasonable reading of their comment? They wrote: > No software or hardware was remotely disabled. How can that not mean: > "no hardware or software was disabled from a distance" "from a distance" and "remote" are, pretty much, the same thing in the context of computer systems.
- aetherson 5y agoBecause there's another meaning of "remotely," as in the phrase "that's not even remotely true." Not having anything to do with physical distance, and referring to metaphorical distance from the facts.
- bryanrasmussen 5y agobut that is not remotely how the phrase remotely disabled is ever used.
