Sorry, I didn’t receive all the punctuation I ordered in that comment, but I shipped it anyway. I’ll fix it in post.

Props, makeup, stunts, costumes, repetitive stress injuries, simply being asked to destroy your vocal cords letting out blood-curdling screams for 10 hours straight because the director is picky and it’s crunch time you don’t have to be doing hot work in a refinery to worry about your health and safety.

“Alexa, check if Amazon sells individual cyanide capsules in any of my favorite flavors.”

Be intellectually honest. The handful of mechanisms that make human fallibility riskiest in computer security are not even debatably ambiguous.

What do they know with their well-reasoned conclusions based on years of research⦠people who have formed identities around being memory management wizards that have huge egos and refuse to believe that human fallibility is a real factor in large complex systems rather than a matter of personal accountability deeply feel otherwise.

Every time anyone mentions anything about an Apple vulnerability the entire comment section turns into a huge pool of cringe Dunning-Krueger-fueled, smug but provably wrong, snort-laughing neckbeard idiocy. Go to any Apple forum and look to see what they say about Android or PCs when any of the trillion monthly CVEs make waves: youâ(TM)ll be looking for a good long time because nobody cares. Youâ(TM)re fighting a war with a million people that exist only in your mind based on the .05% of Apple fans that even think for a millisecond about other ecosystems. So WHO is in a tech religion? Get the fuck over it. Jesus.

In what apartment complex does everyone share the same open WiFi network?

Most AirPlay devices donâ(TM)t have authentication anyway, so hooking your streaming audio/video device like a Apple TV up to an open network is a pretty smooth-brained move anyway.

Yeah. It couldnâ(TM)t possibly be that people use it because it generally works well and has been readily available for 15 years on products many people already have and enjoy. If you think security vulnerabilities are somehow unique to Apple, you should get a refund for your defective brain.

AirPlay != Bluetooth. Itâ(TM)s a protocol that runs on IP that lets users push video and/or audio to devices like TVs or speakers. You canâ(TM)t push audio and video to mobile devices, let alone arbitrary peripherals attached to them. It essentially works the way Bluetooth speakers and screen mirroring works, meaning the protocol has no authentication. It is intended for small home networks with standard consumer-level authentication. Connecting an Apple TV or HomePod to an open network, or not using authentication on your home WiFi network yields the expected results. That doesnâ(TM)t mean vulnerabilities should be ignored, but itâ(TM)s not like this kicks open every iPhone to unauthorized streaming audio.

Appleâ(TM)s design is done in the US. Iâ(TM)m a designer. I know people have have done design work for them. They design their stuff in the US because US industrial design is just excellentâ" we have a pipeline that makes a lot of high quality people on the border of technical and creative that are actually good at being creative. Itâ(TM)s the same reason so much entertainment is made in the US. Itâ(TM)s not immutable, but itâ(TM)s the case right now., and has been for decades.

You do realize that these tariffs affect things other than phones right? You donâ(TM)t see how these rules applied broadly could possibly affect anything other than corporate profits? Beyond that, do you REALLY think corporations, rather than the people they patronize corporations, are going to be losing most here?

For the same reason theyâ(TM)re designed in the US and most Chinese-designed phones are terrible knockoffs. Workforce specialization isnâ(TM)t a bad thing. US manufacturing being so good is pure survivorship bias. If a company was good enough at doing their thing to keep making money here, then their product must be pretty great and/or require some specialized knowledge os skill American workers have. The assumption thatâ" economics asideâ" weâ(TM)re somehow fundamentally more competent than Chinese industry is pure hubris. Thinking we can somehow use economic incentive to create anything close to what the Chinese manufacture for us rather than the tariffs just siphoning more money from US consumers straight into government pockets is magical thinking. Itâ(TM)s not like nobody ever thought of doing this before â" we just learned through astonishingly painful experience that itâ(TM)s a stupid fucking idea.

Well that depends on what problem you're trying to solve. If your infrastructure needs to catch up with your usage needs, you can't just snap your fingers and make that happen, and decreasing reliability while that happens because you want to be the cool dad is fucking stupid.
