> This man refused to provide fingerprints. What was the point of that?
Because the law allows him to do that. Much like the law has clearly written that you are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law and that you are eligible for compensation when you are profiled incorrectly by the police.

Perhaps you'd like to live in China or North Korea where you can be randomly apprehended and harassed by the police just "because you look a bit sus".

I know /. is full of people who think coding is the next religion but it's not. Majority, and I do mean majority, of people have zero use for coding skills. They add nothing to their lives and future.

> If a certificate's private key is compromised, that compromise can't last as long.
If your key is compromised, it doesn't matter if it's 6 days, 60 days or 600 days because by the time your certificate is renewed, the baddie has already either installed C2, backdoor, new key or exfiltrated any data they wanted.

Another useless "feature" that adds more work to already overburdened admins. This whole thing sounds like it was decide by people who live in their little echo chambers, do everything in "in the cloud" and have _zero_ understanding of what a lot of admins have to deal with every day.

Also what happens if LE is down for a week or two?

They're not offering money to affected customers, they're giving discounts on phones that aren't discounted currently - which you would have known if actually, you know, read the article:

"Choosing the $100 Google Store credit might seem the better option, but there is a caveat there, too. The discount applies only to Pixel phones and only to devices that are not otherwise on sale."

So you're defending Google who apparently released;
- Some engineers home built kernel which could literally contain whatever the hell problems.
- Halved the battery size ( "LSN-tagged batteries assigned the "debug" profile can see capacity reduced from 3,080 milliamp hours (mAh) to 1,539 mAh.")

Maybe you should stop defending Google when they've obviously fucked up.
