I could list some reasons why TFA is a lie, but I'll let right-to-repair guru Louis Rossmann explain what is actually going on here better than I could:

They would do more good in showing the world what's happening in Xinjiang. Not much in the way of video gets out, and what does is horrific, maybe some more exposure would help the situation there?

So, if you are with DarkSide, just find some wannabe hacker you don't like, backdoor them, and plant some stuff. Turn them in for the reward, done.

  They will have a bunch of sketchy stuff on their computer already, so not much of a stretch. Just add some chat logs, change the last modified dates, stuff like that.

As a bonus, you get immunity.

My guess on how this will go: They won't want backdoors for important stuff they care about, so large business and governments will have real encryption.

Regular people, small businesses? You are only allowed to use apps that share keys with gov't. You need an "encryption license" to not have shared keys. Sure, you can do it anyway illegally, but expect to go to prison if you get caught. How would you get caught? Pretty easy if the government is monitoring internet traffic and sees stuff they can't decrypt.

Sad, but that's how I see it playing out.

That's sad to hear. I wonder what the solution for this problem is. I hope there is one.

This kind of talk is disturbing on a board that generally is against government surveillance.

Just happened to listen to this podcast a few days ago:

After a stock shorter did a write up on why they were a bad stock, calling attention to their connection to money laundering for online casinos, he was targeted by Wirecard. They sent guys to his house, emailed fake info about him to poeple in the industry, targeted him with spearphishing, etc. He ended up having to move.

That number assumes everyone will get it, herd immunity will kick in way before that. Newer models are showing herd immunity at 25% due to individual differenced in susceptibility and transmissibility.

Death rate for the flu is 0.1%, but only 0.015% of the population dies from it annually because they don't get infected.

Machinists make things; assembly is done by assemblers, maybe millwrights.

For the /. crowd: It's like saying a programmer does networking. I'm sure some do, but it's not the same thing.

Seems this foldable stuff is just a fad like 3D television before it. It will only get popular if they can make the screen out of something as hard as glass, which is obviously impossible, Maybe once they figure out a nice wat to just have two separate displays come together so closely that you cannot feel or see the split line. This seems at least technically possible.

I know you can setup asterix virtual PBX to have an automated system that makes callers answer some type of prompt to get your phone to ring. I don't think it will work on smartphones, but there must be some sort of thing that can do this.

That way anyone you know who calls you gets through automatically based on their phone number, anyone else will have to use touch tones to answer a basic question (like picking your name out of a 1-9 numbered list) or do some very easy math.

Been since I was in middle school, I'm almost 40 now.

I used to as well. I found a scooter with tires meant for a mini dirt bike worked very well. Scooters are preferred since they are lighter, lower center of gravity, thicker front tire, no gears, and better wind protection. I've got a dual sport too, but keep that just for the summer now. Handle bar heaters, muffs, and an apron/skirt make a big difference. Side skids/skis like some military winter motorcycles have would be nice.

If riding a bicycle gets you all sweaty, maybe you're not in very good shape. Perhaps you should get some exercise by... riding a bicycle.

  I only sweat in the summer when I'm really riding hard.
