Yes, but that's a losing game - the manufacturers will continually tighten security until it's infeasible - see how difficult it is to jailbreak current-generation iPhones and game consoles, for instance. The only ways out are soc

This is very, very bad. Music and TV subscriptions? Not great (I want to buy something once and own it), but at least those are luxury purchases. Cars? Not ok - that's critical for me (and many others) to get to my job (bad public tr

As many other comments have mentioned here, the mechanical community keyboard is mostly focused on aesthetics (visual, audio, and tactile) over functionality. Regardless, I've been able to build far more functional keyboards because

Emacs has had TRAMP[1] (transparently allows you to edit remote files in your local editor using an SSH client) for literally decades now, while SSHFS has been around for nearly as long, and even zeitgeist tools like Visual Studio Code have

As a vim and emacs user, I don't give nano any hate. I'm surprised when programmers use it, sure, but that's because if my profession was going to require editing text files for hours a day (which it does), I would be happy

Details in a video[1] indicate that major players (Paramount, Funimation, Microsoft (?)) are involved in the effort - it doesn't appear to be "just another streaming service". [1] https://youtu.be/uFjUh92geEc

Is there a coherent argument for not making collectors of data (in this case, the Broward school district, but it could be Facebook, Equifax, whatever) liable for damage incurred due to data in their possession being stolen?
