that's so dumb on so many levels... should we strip cars from active safety measures and let drivers who are not super good at driving just kill themselves on the road?
- myaccountonhn 10d agoMaybe a drivers license should be needed to have a phone.
- diegolas 9d agomaybe there should be alternatives to using the smartphone for everything, personal finances included. my bank stopped offering a home banking service for example (yes, of course the mobile app still sucks), and it's a trend.
- preg_match 10d agoWell cars kill people, granny using the password “password” does not. We can’t prevent all levels of stupidity and carelessness. If people want to have dumb passwords and download malware, then so be it. You think they can’t do that today with the google play store? Of course they can. Most malware on android comes from the Google play store.
- fauigerzigerk 10d agoI agree, but what I disagree with is the idea that everyone must be prevented from freely installing software on their own devices to make sure unskilled people cannot be tricked into doing it. I don't really understand why a well designed sandbox and permissions system doesn't solve the problem.
- osmukka 6d agoParent commenter's argument wasn't that people don't know to use good passwords, instead they just don't care. I think in that case getting hacked is completely one's own fault. If we're comparing this to cars, a closer analogy would be dying in a car crash because of an unfastened seatbelt.
