I am happy to pay for the implementation and ongoing maintenance of what these systems accomplish. Why should corporations give things away for free simply because they relate to security?

> we shouldn't moderate anything at all Moderation is absolutely necessary. What bothers me is that we are 4 or 5 comments deep, and you still seem to not understand why I spoke up in the first place. The comment you initially repli

Odd comparison, I wasn't basing this off of my experience as a young adult.

Can you provide a counter-example or is this all anecdotes?

Using George Hotz as an example is pretty disingenuous. He is clearly not your average young adult, even for the average of HN.

Young adults aren't breaking into streaming devices to extract the CDM keys. They also aren't running trackers like Orpheus and Redacted. Those are small examples, but I'm not sure I understand how young adults would ever hav

> garden-variety internet comments and cheap personal attacks That is how you took the comment. I took the comment to be a refreshing dose of reality. Perspective matters a lot.

Are you implying that young adults are more responsible for the state of piracy today than adults? I don't see that at all.

Build systems that break, the tests come naturally after that.

Everything about it is fascinating. These people all have day jobs yet they provide a better experience than the multi-trillion dollar corporations that are releasing the product in the first place.

I respectfully, and vehemently disagree. Informing someone that they may be drinking too much of their company's Kool-Aid, without knowing what is in it, is a moral obligation. Despicable that you present this as a bannable offense.

When I got to RX-8 I laughed heartily. Nice car != success but the RX-8 isn't even that nice. It's quirky and enthusiasts like it, that's it.

It's technology. If people want to use it as a cash grab. So be it. If people want to do more with it, they can do that too.

You get it. Everyone who says this is "dumb" said the internet, Facebook, Instagram, or Tik-tok was dumb too. Yet here they are. Kinks need to be worked out, sure, but in ten to fifteen years artists will not be beholden to corpor

It works well for some use cases, I used it when I just had a windows desktop with 4TB acting as NAS, now I have a more mature backup strategy because I have nearly 200TB of disks.

If you've never tried a prosumer router, TP-Link is a great intro. I recommend a standalone router with a standalone access point, rather than a combo like we see so often on the consumer side. I'm so glad I got an ER605 to tinker

Because we still have DRM in 2021. It's disgraceful.

How is it alarming that a battery powered device failed in 2021? Widespread issues would be alarming. This is an anomaly. I feel bad for OP, but this is just a "luck-of-the-draw" thing. Trying to make it into anything else is disi

As stated earlier, AWS has financial incentive to not update the status page. Nobody is willing to call them on the conflict of interest in a meaningful, market-changing way.

Status page looks like it was updated. Seems more like we have a lot of impatience on this board.

Neither. I believe they are doing it to make money. Which is perfectly alright. Isn't the government supposed to _evaluate_ and _regulate_ the market in order to account for the externalities created by X, Y, and Z corporations? If the

I don't think that spreading the externalities of climate change onto ordinary citizens socialistically is the right approach. For you, the buck stops at whatever citizens currently exist on the planet/continent/country/

Oh look, another article asking ordinary citizens to shoulder responsibility for something that is almost entirely perpetrated by corporations. Yawn.
