You are confusing de jure power with de facto power. Government has shown, again and again, that they will abuse and overstep without any legal right to do so. In the meantime until the courts catch up, that coercive power imbalance still e

The operators, as corporate entities (that only exist at the government's permission in the first place) rather than human beings, do not have all the same freedoms. Their behavior can be coerced or restricted in many different ways.

Disagreeing on being good enough. The problem is that many of these devices regularly poll their mothership for commands and updates. We are one (feasibly, already done but unknown) server compromise away from millions of light bulbs or out

Maybe to register, but in my experience (trying to set up an official account for a project) they are quickly locked the moment you try to actually do anything with them, requiring a email link followed by a unique multi-step captcha.

Openly opining on the (harmless) ways other people choose to spend their free time is generally seen as gauche.

This is my primary gripe with what is otherwise a solid company with solid products: glacial pace of improvements and bug fixes. They are spending tons of developer time on a GUI rework nobody asked for while actual usability warts like: h

From the second link: As per the company, a Tesla with FSD Beta engaged experienced an airbag-deployed crash about every 3.2 million miles in the last 12 months. This makes the system about five times safer than the most recently available

Because testing this stuff in the real world is the only way. The human in the loop did exactly what they were supposed to do.

I see it as similar to what happens when your credit card gets messed up or won't read anymore. It's a similar level of inconvenience. That said, I have found it easier to replace a phone on short notice than a card. Banks seem to

Be careful, that is a decade plus old expired draft of a proposed update to RFC 2606. The current version of the standard, including 6761 which updates it, does not reserve most of those. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc&#x2

Disk space is comparatively cheap. While it's a silly requirement, it's more usable than most Linux distros that burn every byte of free memory on caching and then turn the OOM killer loose to wreak havoc rather than release some

That comparison to employee median salary, and not including in the headline the fact that this is from stock sales scheduled in advance, is a blatant attempt to sow outrage (clickbait) rather than honestly inform.

Checked exceptions always seemed to me to be an exercise of self-flagellation and enumerating badness; when most of the time there are a handful of specific errors that require special handling, with everything else logged/return error

… Taking an upstream project, and then applying your own patches to it, along with a commitment to not ship anti-user changes (like manifest V3) is a fork by any objective definition.

Unfortunately their pricing is per socket, so that would be about €500 up front for me just for the ability to access a different repository and no support. (Not really useful) If I wanted the ability to submit 3 support tickets per year wi
