That's actually better than what I'm getting (two working videos). Dear Shitdot - stop trying to GENERATE news. You're a fucking aggregator, nothing more. The people who are still on this site are:

A: Too cynical (for good reason) to trust anything originating from the usual circus of Shitdot admins who post manufactured crap at the behest of your Dice masters,
B: Too smart to fall for the bullshit, soft news, and non news.
C: Both A and B.

Normally I'd use this space to troll and shit on the subject for no reason (O'Reilly in this case, whom I have nothing against but would otherwise not hesitate to troll), but in this case I'd rather let my pertinent point stand on its own: Shitdot needs to stop trying to make its own content, from "Ask Shitdot" "articles", to these video "articles", to that hilariously bad "ask me anything" ripoff a few weeks back. This site will never be profitable in the way you want it to be, so please stop trying. By the way - how much money was wasted on the beta revamp?

And if you think I'm trolling now, please note that I did not troll (or post at all) in other of the other "articles" in this series. Anyone who legitimately cares about this content (ha!) or is sufficiently bored to read/watch it will only see my ravings on the matter once. I'm crass, vulgar, and rude, but I'm not trolling. Shitdot needs to stop gaming their own system and just let users submit and frontpage stories as intended. The backdoor moderation, censorship, and promotion/demotion of articles to/from the front page isn't just annoying and dishonest, it delegitimizes the site as a whole.

If you have the device in hand you can just rewrite the key with one you know.
If you're the manufacturer you can do this easily.

If you can initially set the key, then the key is capable of being reset or even read.
If you cannot initially set the key, then the key is set before hand, and is thus known to other parties.

If you use e-fuses or something similar in order to prevent resetting of the key, it just means you have to deal with shit at the hardware level to reset or read the key.

The manufacturer of a phone will always be able to fuck ur shit, though GP is incorrect in asserting that they'd be able to do it over the web as easily as the end user. (If it's designed properly. In reality, we all know they'll have back doors.)

Someone leaks sensitive information to the media. Government tracks phone. Government dispatches goon. Government bricks phone to prevent victim from alerting the medial, recording the incident, calling for help, etc. Victim is disappeared.

I love paper! The look of it! The smell of it! The taste of it! The texture! I love paper so much that I lost my genitalia in an unfortunate pulping accident. Hence the name... Papermember.

You can only fork things with a fork.

When a crime is involved (such as unlawful arrest, harassment, theft of property, etc. the cops engaged in), the public has a right to know.
When one of the parties IS the state or one of its many agencies, the public has a right to know.
When the public courts handle a case on the matter, criminal or not, for however long, the public has a right to know regardless of whether the case is settled by the court of by the parties outside of the court.

Cats on Dogs: Dogs are the problem.

You're an idiot.
The solution is to have everyone else driving at a faster speed so the idiots end up juking and jiving between them less frequently.
You can't control the behavior of the idiots, so you're not letting them drive faster. You're telling everyone else that they should be traveling at a reasonable speed.

Lower speed limits cause more congestion.
Congestion causes all sorts of problems, from making lane changes more difficult (as there is less space between cars) to increasing collisions on the freeways and on the surface streets connecting to them.
You'd cause more shit by setting a speed limit of 45 on the freeway than you would by setting a speed limit of 85.

Because I point out the hilarious holes and hypocrisy in your posts?
Please respond to my actual points about you dismissing someone's opinions/views and experiences on the basis of their race, sexuality, and gender. I could use a good laugh. Or continue to tell me more about how I've been "killfiled". Either way works.

Why are you ignoring the performance piece where AMD wins (anything done on the GPU) and ignoring a major piece of the cost difference (motherboard and chipset cost)?

No one will read the warranty.
When they send it in they'll be denied with an explanation of "You wrote too much to this drive, see? This hidden, unreliable, untrustworthy counter in the firmware says so.".

They compete on performance / $.
They win at cores / $.
They lose at performance.
They lose at TDP.

Look up "drawn and quartered".
Or look up "wishbone".
