In as I was specifically not talking about that, and even said so, no.. it's not relevant.

I think you're responding to the wrong comment, or missing the nuance above. Having state actors redirecting products after shipping, without telling the company or the client it's happening, and installing backdoors, has nothing

Breaking a calvary would be very powerful. And horses are a larger target.

Breakdowns aren't relevant, as Mythbusters slapped it together over a few days, and are uncertain of the design. The Greeks had years to perfect it, and great knowledge and expertise building with these materials. As another poster me

Indeed. All the blather about Canadian "trade surplus" is actually oil. US companies owning that infra sell that oil under market price, to their US corp divisions. The CEO, upper execs are usually American, and so their large sa

Actually it's entirely relevant how, in the context of this conversation. Here, we're discussing product as shipped, not product intercepted and modified. We're discussing if products are shipped secure or not. The Snowden d

This is very weird. Trump is the ultimate mercurial. At the drop of a hat, he'll change his mind on things. Predicting Trump is a ridiculous proposition, and I'm willing to be most would agree with that. Even Trump doesn't

You responded to this: Paying the fair share for road maintenance isn't a human rights issue. by saying this: Reducing carbon emissions most certainly is a human rights issue. Which was is in a thread where someone complained about

Well, it's a prototype. Any production model would need to watch for fingers too, so it'd have to be gentle. Just as elevator doors won't crush a person due to sensors and such. The cleaning part is an interesting question.

Most states and provinces I think have already applied a flat yearly registration fee surcharge to make up for lost gas tax revenue Indeed. No one is contesting that. So what is your point? In as you are leveling some sort of complaint

The issue is not paying our fair share, the issue is paying more than we would if we drove gas vehicles. Perhaps in Washington State that is your issue, but that is not what we are discussing here. The poster I was replying to lives in Al

You actually can breath in "large cities", unless you have a pre-existing health condition. Otherwise, all the people in those "large cities" would already be dead, and they'd cease being "large cities".

No, they simply don't understand the history of the very thing they report on. If you look at the quoted text, they easily could have said 'Unix" terminal. They also repeatedly talk about a 'half century' of Linux

For more than four decades, typing a password after a sudo prompt in a Linux terminal What?! 2026 minus 46 is 1980. There was no Linux, at all, in 1980. Someone is quite confused.

Controlled? No. It's about security updates being patched before disclosure. That said. it is indeed annoying, and there was a lot of uproar when it happened. For the nuance of it, I'd suggest GrapheneOS docs, you'll get mo

Do you have 'Receive security preview updates' on? Google stopped publishing any info about security updates until (I think) quarterlies come out. GrapheneOS had to sign some sort of non-disclosure for them, in order to roll them

I've noticed with GrapheneOS, that more recent builds are exhibiting weird issues. This isn't their fault, it's upstream ASOP issues. For example, just in the last few weeks: * The date has now gone missing from my lockscre

It's OK. This is the dying, last gasp effort that a company makes when it has no way to innovate, no way to add any real value, no capacity to drive change internally, and has become completely non-user focused. In short, it's wh

Unsure why you jump to "is this a bot" conclusion, seems a little odd. Seemed a little quick, but not odd. Most news comment sections are bots, I'd expext at least 10% of HN to be, etc. As the US midterms arrive, I'd

Good lord, Canada is not "flipping" anywhere. We've always had trade with China, and the US to this day has far more trade with China! We're the same we've always been, it's the US that has gone bananas, and
