iCloud Private Relay can also just randomly turn off because of connection issues, you can not configure it to fail in a safe manner.

Yes, it can. You can find Apple's lawyers explanation in the complaint under the "JURISDICTION AND VENUE" heading https://www.apple.com/newsroom/pdfs/Apple_v_NSO_Complaint_11...

This is not correct, civil suits over CFAA violations are common.

I have no idea why people are speculating about this. Unsurprisingly the publicly available complaint explains exactly what the Apple IDs were used for. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/pdfs/Apple_v_NSO_Complaint_11

When did anyone mention code signing or developer accounts?

It's much easier, and much likely to be worth spending time on, to fight a bigco than the tiny business that doesn't care.

FWIW there are not many HN users for whom it would be cheaper to personally write 1000 emails than hire a lawyer to write one or two letters.

Ah, so you can't actually name any specific slimy practice relevant to this conversation? Thought so.

Amazon support is great. With Uber drivers you get what you pay for, all Uber Lux drivers I've interacted with have been at the level you'd expect from a professional chauffeur company (which they usually work for).

I suppose most users here didn't actually bother to read your screed, because it really doesn't seem to describe any real issues. What's supposed to be the problem here? Amazon just cancelled some orders that they couldn&#x27

What's the slimy practice? Amazon refunded orders that they weren't able to deliver. OP is upset because there's a display bug involving the cancellation reason.

How exactly does this affect you? As far as I can tell, your complaining seems entirely unreasonable.

I guess it's easy for you to sit in your ivory tower and tell poor people what kind of loans they should use to replace their broken refrigerator. Your argument is essentially "poor people will find these loans useful, but I know

What they did with IE might actually have been illegal, this is not.

Not everyone here is rich, but the demographics certainly skew in that direction. The deeply out of touch comments here demonstrate that, even if this feature isn't appealing to HN users, it is appealing to a very wide range of people

That is a solved problem. There's nothing new here, 'Buy now, pay later' stuff has existed for ages .

This comment reads super out of touch to me. I think you are hugely underestimating the audience for this kind of thing. This can be worth far far more than a few millions. But yeah, of course for the rich HN audience this is an anti-featur

At least I have more than empty words to support my claim.

>You misunderstand. Those who don't pay still have the problem. They will invest in solutions. Some (like good well tested backups) only affect them, but others like hardening software make it harder for ransomeware to get anyone in

> Maybe, but even if just a few don't pay, they will do other things You're joking. There are already many who don't pay, payment rates could fall by 90% and it wouldn't slow them down a bit. You clearly have no idea

Companies would still pay even if making ransomware payments was a felony. The ransomware gangs would not go away, companies would just have a bigger incentive to hide ransomware attacks. These groups aren't going to go away even if 95

Yeah, but this just completely detached from real life. Companies will always pay, even if you make it illegal, companies will still pay. Will fewer companies pay? Sure. Does it matter? No. Ransomware gangs wouldn't go anywhere even if

Paying can't be a dumb move when your business continuity depends on an attacker returning your encrypted files. I agree that with DDoS extortion the situation is way more complicated, and the attacker will eventually move on if you do

>if everyone refused to pay there would be no profit in it Of course it's very saintly of you to refuse to pay, but often not paying is a very bad business decision. You can be sure that enough people will pay for your refusal to no
