Where's the results of the ABX test you took to prove your claims? Numerous ABX tests over decades have backed up what the GP says.
Not enough audiophile rubes.
Since when has security ever been anything but an afterthought when it comes to *groan* IoT *groan* devices?
In hindsight, it's now obvious that Linus should have used his position of leadership and influence to put an end to systemd earlier, for the sake of the Linux community. It's also obvious that a major distro like Debian should not have switched to systemd, as the process of doing this fractured its community beyond repair.
Why would he have done that? He may have issues with the way the developers work and a few things that systemd has done, but is overall not against systemd. As he stated in the interview responses:
Yeah, I've had some personality issues with some of the maintainers, but that's about how you handle bug reports and accept blame (or not) for when things go wrong. If people thought that meant that I dislike systemd, I will have to disappoint you guys.
So it doesn't seem "obvious" at all that he should have done that based on his own statements.
Just ten or twenty years ago a sitting politician saying this in a "democracy" and expecting to keep his job would be unthinkable.
Oh really? CALEA is 21 years old in the US and yet neither Bill Clinton nor anyone in Congress lost their jobs over it.
Except that we already have massive data breaches via security holes that weren't intentionally-created government backdoors. Why would anyone but an idiot believe that the same group of criminals won't also be able to discover and exploit the ones put in intentionally?
There's also no need for the rich to share the output of their robots with the plebes.
The hair blurs a bit when it is in motion,
Yeah, due to the video compression.
If someone can get access to your account, they can download and decrypt your iCloud backups.
So I can roll my own encryption to replace that which is used by Google Play services? Ohh, wait...
Did you install the version of OpenSSL that introduced the bug?
If you read the available information about this, there seems to be many procedures in place to avoid social engineering.
Except those same procedures have been worked around in past social engineering attacks. Unless Apple's CSRs are magically immune to social engineering then there's no reason to expect that anyone determined enough won't get around them.
lso, there is nothing here about anyone having access to any ones files or data (encrypted or otherwise). Just procedures which would allow one access to there own account, this would be akin to an automated password reset.
Having access to someone's account means one can download an decrypt iCloud device backups.
Why? Because you said so? That's hardly a compelling argument.
But who is certifying that my engagements are organic?
