Comment Re:MICROS~1: making clicking dangerous since 1984 (Score 1) 62

We should really be building operating systems with more process isolation and clear permissions systems for which apps can interact with which other apps in which ways. There's elements of this in Android, and in capabilities systems like selinux, but the more powerful they get the harder they are to use. This is inevitable, but a lot more can still be done to make this kind of functionality accessible to users.

Would you buy from a company called Plantations Inc which proudly advertises that all of its products are made by daily-whipped slaves? Are there no limits to how self-focused you are in your consumption?

It's one thing to say "this particular issue isn't mine, so I'm only going to think amount myself". It's an entirely different issue to have no moral bounds.

There are dumb TVs still being made.

There are precisely zero dumb TVs on the market with the format support and visual quality of a high end TV from the majors. That you don't even know that shows you're not a serious customer of TVs and are just parroting whatever AI spat out at you from a quick Google search.

You can just click "Skip" when it asks you to connect to the Internet.

No you can't. That doesn't guarantee that your TV doesn't seek out a network connection. We have evidence of that, actual evidence of network traffic despite the user "skipping" the network setup. That you don't even know this shows you're not serious about security or have any idea about what is going on in the TV world at all.

So being paid to perform a service has now graduated from "handout" to "bribe" in clown world?

In child rapist island world, bad people made deals to grift and graft in between bouts of raping children. One of those people is sitting in the big chair, deciding who gets paid instead of the people the constitution says are supposed to do it. You want to act surprised that people believe the funds are being misappropriated?

The only contractors in the US which have a chance to get anything to the moon are SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Boing. All are hugely problematic for a variety of reasons, and asserting that noticing that is clown shit is itself cuck shit.

How about we stop accepting sub optimal solutions made of bodged together diverse components like some cyberpunk dystopia and actually demand better products that work the way we want?

You shouldn't need to "not connect your TV to the internet". It should work the way you want.

No one knows how many offspring Musk has. No one knows if has interacted with them all. It seems he has paid surrogates and IVF so he may have not even met some mothers or children.

Palmer Luckey is a creep just like Musk. It seems at least possible that some of his personal genetic material would make it into his uber-hound. And Kash Patel is good with FBI agents that may have involvement with bestiality.

I started thinking of this as a horrible joke, but I'm so weirded out now I'm wondering if it could end up being true.

He's asking you to demonstrate your credentials. You claim you modified proprietary OSes, bypasses secure bootloaders with blown e-fuses, unpotted CPUs to access debug connections, bypassed subscription requirements on services, and hacked mandatory network connections to work offline? Demonstrate it. That's the kind of thing that people who are capable of post all over the internet proudly with evidence of how it was done.

The manufacturers won't stand for it, because they lose the potential revenue.

The manufacturers really don't care if 5 of their customers modify their TV. Consumer ambivalence will mean manufacturers won't change, largely because sheeple have come to accept the current experience as the norm.

99.9% of normal customers wouldn't make it past the first 4 words of this Slashdot headline without scrolling on to the next article.
