It appears that only cameras that take close up images of the sensor are affected (from the article). Traffic cams and dash cams are too far away to be affected (you can see this in the posted video itself). The self-driving cameras are wid

Thank you for your kind words and solidarity! Those who understand this should definitely take a public stance, because we're far too apathetic towards such exploitation. It's even more disturbing to see some people supporting mea

I assume that they weren't attempting to track him. They were trying to prevent the communication between the conspirators so that they can't coordinate his escape or organize an uprising to aid his escape. Suffice to say, the tel

Yes. That thought did cross my mind. However, the RF baseband is an independent opaque blackbox already. As far as I know, it even includes an entire hidden operating system. But opening up the rest of the system, leaving the BB as it is, w

I see! Thanks for pointing out this very interesting correlation. So we got something better only because someone else equally influential forced their hand. Otherwise the users be damned, for all they care, it seems.

That was Mozilla's stance. Google was thoroughly hostile towards it. They closed the original issue citing a lack of interest among users, despite the users themselves complaining loudly against it. The only thing I'm not sure abo

As concerning as it is, this is just another addition to the pile of malware that a modern smartphone is. Everyone including SoC manufacturer, RF baseband manufacturer, OEM, OS developer, browser developer and app developers add their own o

Most people don't care about the AI being trained on their FOSS repos. If they did, they would have mass migrated when Microsoft announced it. The timing suggests that the downtime and the performance issues are definitely the irritant

Fair enough. And yes, it's such a shame that there aren't more public, especially FOSS, projects in Ada.

That can be generalized a bit more. Whenever an executive with a designation starting with 'chief' gives some sort of advice to ordinary laborers, be very very skeptical and suspicious. There are exceptions to this rule - especial

> I know the answer is money but I would assume that, at a certain point, you have more than enough money to do literally anything you want in the little bit of time you leave yourself to not be working. Technically, you're correct.

Do you have any specific restrictions on what a 'project' means here? I have seen Ada used on an extensive scale in aerospace and defense projects, including a simple realtime OS.

To be very honest, I'm not surprised. This has been a growing tendency recently. I have also noticed a few brand new accounts whose entire comments are praises for certain controversial actions by some corporations.

The area where I see IQ failing miserably is in accounting for different types of intelligences. Like the parent commenter said, people solve the same problem differently. I'm keenly aware of this because I'm neurodivergent and I

Yes. The big red flag here is that these are people who should know better. Not like the ordinary folks who may be ignorant about it to some extend.

Practically every platform has multiple software stores these days and many FOSS stores make their build logs available. Some take it a step further and provide reproducible builds, which is more or less there as far as source to binary tra

And how exactly does that analogy apply here? The current situation is more like the government banning vegan pasta.

No thanks! It makes sense for them, not for us. Their rent seeking behavior, locking down of the OS and hardware and their hostility towards the FOSS mod community and users have all worsened lately. The only reason why they ever revisit su

It's likely that DOGE was just a facade for a clandestine infiltration plan. They let that facade crumble when they finally had the deep data compromise that they craved. But they still invoke that name whenever they want to do somethi
