>"The design appears safer than simply handing passwords to an AI model, but it does not remove every risk"
Um, it sounds like you would be giving your credentials to "1Password" and THEY CAN apparently decrypt them to inject them. So do you trust "1Password"? I wouldn't.
If you didn't try to steal copper, your brain wouldn't be fried and there'd have been one less power outage.
...You're sitting here comparing an Iroquois village with a larger landmass and a tenth of the population to a country, and then being aghast at the difference in scale. Besides, since when does your igloo need electricity?
Merit should always consider strictly value.
>"Unifi has had several CVSS 10.0 vulnerabilities lately. Quite a lot of those devices are unfortunately still ending up part of botnets. "
All platforms have vulnerabilities, unfortunately. But from what I can tell, all of those are from the inside. Not from the outside. Every one of them is "with access to the network." So these are not things that are going to give outside attackers the direct ability to break into a Unifi controller on the outside of its firewall.
I am glad I finally retired my older Asus router last year, even though it was running a reflash, and installed a Unifi gateway at home. They seem to be very good with updates. I even turned on the Threat Detection and Blocking (Intrusion Prevention). Then also GeoBlocking (yes, I know they can work around that, but why make it easy?) The nice thing is this little box does everything I had before and TONS more, including running cameras, with no cloud-dependencies and no recurring fees.
Alas, my contribution to security will be fairly meaningless when there are countless other non-secured routers out there.
That is not a loan.
As someone who lives in Los Angeles, I've witnessed exactly this. What's really stupid is you guys think this is just a conservative thing. I've seen this happen in both tech and film (which I don't work in, but I've gotten to know several people who do.) In the film industry, most of that centers around the regulatory regime, a lot of it FilmLA related. What a conservative bunch those filmmakers are, amirite? And that Gavin Newsom warning about this...such a conservative.
One thing you very likely do not realize is how and when economic activity makes geographic shifts. You're living under this strange assumption that California has always been and will always be what it is. Just like Detroit.
I feel like talking to you guys about this subject is like talking to Russians about their special needs military operation. Like them, you only hear what you want to hear. A month ago, I made a post asking them how they're dealing with the fuel rations in Moscow and St Petersburg, they mocked and laughed at me saying there are none. These guys hadn't seen it in their particular neighborhood so they dismissed it as propaganda. Two weeks later, good luck finding any fuel, even in their neighborhoods. Like you, if they don't personally witness it, then it's not happening.
Right now we're very early stage into this. The first thing that needs to happen for a large shift like this infrastructure capex needs to be invested. That's already done. Next is the infrastructure to accommodate it needs to be built. That's what is currently happening.
TPM is one of the most useless tools towards that end. Get a DMA card and find out why. For security -- especially for somebody in my position -- it's incredibly useful. There's no conspiracy to deprive you of your copy of "love, actually" or "mean girls", so you can relax, your bootlegged chick flick collection is safe from TPM. Believe me, I have several terabytes of bootlegged sci-fi movies on my Plex server, and I'm not in the slightest concerned about TCG coming after that
Actually the concern was SGX, which is now gone, and that would have impacted a lot more than just your copy of 50 shades of grey -- it was actually a security nightmare pretending to be your friend. TPM is completely open. SGX was exactly the opposite.

You mean, the people who are willing to ride a piece of driftwood across the freakin' ocean because they'd rather live here than in their communist hellhole? Okay.
To continue being produced long term, games need to succeed, not just be beloved.
Time for some C.S. Lewis.
The game is to have them running about with fire extinguishers whenever there is a flood, and all crowding to that side of the boat which is already nearly gunwale under. {...} Cruel ages are put on their guard against Sentimentality, feckless and idle ones against Respectability, lecherous ones against Puritanism.
The big problem of our civilization and age right now isn't that we are going to get too harsh or guard too much against people who rip off stores.
Sure, and SpaceX is going to cure cancer and let us all live forever for free. The fact that they once did something that somebody somewhere thought they couldn't do doesn't mean they can automatically do anything.
I didn't say that.
Note that SpaceX themselves say they don't really have any idea whether datacentres in space will work.
More than once, too.
Telecom experts were saying there's no way you'd be able to bring down the cost of phased array antennas to a reasonable level. Nobody at SpaceX was certain of that either. Then it happened anyway.

Many others as well, like stainless steel instead of carbon fiber, the booster catch, the sheer scale of starlink, supercooled fueling, space lasers, hot staging (without sacrificing the booster), and full-flow staged combustion (which many had tried and failed.) And those are just the ones I can tell you about. There have been failures too, for example the attempt at landing dragon with thrust instead of parachutes.
I didn't say anything about stopping it.
Then you're just trying to be contrarian.
There are good arguments for proceeding carefully though. A million satellites in one of our most valuable orbits comes with a bunch of problems.
Nobody said otherwise, however, I don't believe you understand the significance of starlink's orbital parameters with regard to safety. You think you do, but you don't.
Elon doesn't have any downside. He's never going to sell his shares unless he absolutely has to.
Did you even pay attention to what I said? I asked how the GP believes there's fraud going on. Who is defrauding whom? Either you've come here just to be contrarian, or you've come to ask about your genital warts. I don't know which, but if there's a point to any of this, I've yet to hear it.
SpaceX made $75 billion dollars off the IPO, possibly at quite an inflated price. He also gets his Twitter investors off his back as they can now cash out their formerly underwater shares at a significant gain.
Who was on his "back" exactly?
Whether any of it is fraud or not is for lawyers to figure out.
And they start with an argument, predicated on a legal theory. I don't see anything resembling either of those. That's exactly what I was asking GP for.
Every company is going to hype their stock before an IPO. SpaceX says, buried deep in the prospectus, that they really have no idea whether datacentres in space are going to work or not, and they have a few very compelling reasons to push highly speculative, AI-related ideas even if they don't think they're going to work.
And what's your point? There's uncertainty in business? You're just now figuring this out?
>"A simple data-entry error, magnified and broadcast nationwide by a growing surveillance network operated through an opaque partnership between a private company and public agencies"
With a large-enough data set (and so many humans involved as well) even the very improbable becomes probable. When you are invading the privacy of drivers many millions of times a day, just the slightest error rate can mean lots of people affected by false positives. And the more they add additional sensors, additional cameras, additional databases and interfaces into other systems, the more dystopian this will become...
