TOTP has the huge disadvantage of being a pain for non tech folk to understand and use. The selfie-video is less secure than TOTP, but more secure than SMS texts. Passwords are reused between different sites.

If you are happy with your security, keep using it. And if you have a friend or relative who use ones password for every site, switch them to the video.

I think where it breaks down is when LG involves a unrelated third party in this case McAfee.

Socialize the losses, privatize the profits.

They could just hire people to do it and then the fruits of that labor could be available to everyone as open source. As an added bonus we wouldn't be constantly paying for the profitability of private companies for no particularly good reason. And we wouldn't be creating billionaires that are going to undermine our democracy.

But something something socialism so here we are... All of us stuck with shit software that constantly spies on us

But from what I understand they don't allow you to do what LG did. It's explicitly forbidden in the guidelines for a Windows certified driver.

I don't know what made LG think they could get away with this nonsense. Every single tech YouTuber on the planet has gone crazy reporting this.

These are the same lazy dolts that call them selves "Software Engineer" yet don't know shit on how software actual works beyond an ID, don't understand software developer ethics, and think the can be sloppy because "computers have a lot of RAM" completely blind to the idea there janky ass software isn't the only thing running on a computer.

Modern IDEs have lead to this industry being full undisciplined half wits.

I literally do. Stop being bad at your job.

"I know it is counter to modern coding practices"
it is not. It's literally best practice. Coders not doing this are bad at their job, and should be fired.

*sigh*

Just the joke I was expecting to see. Still basically low-hanging fruit.

I'm only somewhat concerned about the public AI models. It's the secret ones that concern me greatly. And I think the fatal unleashing is rather more likely to come from an individual than from a government. However if a government does it, you know they are going to claim "self defense", whereas an individual does it, he is more likely to do it for PROFIT!

And fuck, even fish have better healthcare than I do.

Yes there is a command structure but the command structure goes up to and includes democratically elected civilians. Our army is managed and overseen by civilians democratically elected to prevent exactly what you're describing. There is a complex series of committees and oversight that most Americans are blissfully unaware of. Senator Warren will be happy to talk your ear off about it because she serves on all of those committees.

Also remember if you are given an unlawful order you have a duty to disobey that order. That is not fascism. Fascism is a duty to a single individual. The US military has no such duty. Your duty is to the US Constitution and the United States and its democracy.

Now one more election with the fascists winning and yeah the army will be fascist because the civilian infrastructure that controls and oversees it will be fascist. But that's because the entire country is fascist.

We have a shitload of systems designed to prevent fascism and they are gradually being broken down. They have not completely broken down but the fascists have been working on this since newt Gingrich came up with the contract with America. So we are pretty far along in the process. It's a classic chesterton's fence where we kept tearing down a fence without knowing why it was put there

Marketing? Because companies famously want to use models in their networks that just run off and commit major crimes? *eyeroll*

No, I spoke the truth. You not liking reality doesn't change that.

I do find it funny you went to the trouble of modding me down with one of your alts though. Some real dedication there. Assuming your not just usually a bot.
