It's not even the most insane suggestion in the thread. That would be the proposal to require ACME for all certificates. So all your appliances with manual cert installation and devices without direct connection to the internet would b

> The outcome of this idea is Google & Microsoft can MITM all internet traffic. Google, MS, and Apple already handle their own CA trust. So this conspiracy theory would already be true.

To put things into perspective, the people behind the browser with < 2.5% market share are acting like they have the biggest swinging dick in the room, and proposing policies with authority, that could potentially screw over 100% of the

Sorry my post was sarcasm. If English is a second language I can see where that could be lost in translation. I don't expect any of these vendors, especially Amazon 3rd party, to check.

I'm sure Amazon - whose store is mostly generic Chinese schlock nowadays - will check. Not that it matters, posters on this very site who claim to care will continue buying stuff off AliExpress, proud they got it for pennies on the dol

If they can't secure it, then the entire project should be scrapped. But GM already has this capability with OnStar. Stolen vehicles can be slowed down then stopped and and disabled remotely.

I didn't say pull the hand brake at 60mph. There should be an emergency "pull over and stop gracefully" button.

Realistically, how much can she do from a cubicle in the Philippines? Maybe driverless cars should have remained a relic of 80s Schwarzenegger movies.

Maybe we can carve our computer keyboards out of bone and tusks like the cavemen did. The irony of making phones out of glass is they are terribly fragile and often become e-waste after so much as being knocked off a table. 20th century pla

I'm more concerned that I own an iPhone whose vibrate function - something mastered over 30 years ago in pagers - is now so pathetic I've missed phone calls with the phone literally right next to me. Older models you could hear fr

People are allowed to have preferences and dislike software. Similarly, if your mechanic forgets to tighten the lug nuts or leaves the oil cap off, and nearly kills you or destroys the engine, you are allowed to find a new mechanic without

The FSF has turned into the crazy old aunt that insists you unplug the coffee pot after use in case it's bugged. It's taken me a long time to come around to the reality that they are holding Linux back at every juncture, probably

Well, authorities are investigating it as a possible terror attack, and apparently it had "fireworks-style mortars" inside so I suspect this wasn't a garden-variety Cybertruck malfunction. https://www.wsoctv.com&#x

Mozilla is like the legit side business the Mafia uses for taxes, group health benefits, etc. and to give an air of legitimacy to their operation. Google needs Mozilla to exist to prove on paper they don't hold a monopoly with Chrome.
