  Ooh, wow, warning labels.

  Wasting more tax dollars

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨D-Link refuses to patch a security flaw on over 60,000 NAS devices — the company instead recommends replacing legacy NAS with newer models⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly!

  If you need external access, use an external access infrastructure that’s designed for that purpose, with controls and monitoring.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨D-Link refuses to patch a security flaw on over 60,000 NAS devices — the company instead recommends replacing legacy NAS with newer models⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So what you’re saying is I should be able to pickup one of these used for a song?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Director Claims "Non-Decent Humans" Are Wishing For Company's Demise⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  🖕

  I hope the company goes down in flames, with upper management losing their asses and getting sued into oblivion, with the staff below Director level getting control and all the proceeds.

  (I know, not gonna happen, but I can wish, right?).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Director Claims "Non-Decent Humans" Are Wishing For Company's Demise⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, good point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Director Claims "Non-Decent Humans" Are Wishing For Company's Demise⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea, I have no issue with wanting to end a company.

  A company isn’t a person.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Director Claims "Non-Decent Humans" Are Wishing For Company's Demise⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone below VP level is probably OK. Some directors and senior management may suck, but holy shit nothing like a VP. They’re the most useless person in a company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Software fixes now account for over 20% of car recalls⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Even the ones built before can have some bullshit. But I’m with you.

  Had to replace a totalled, paid off car in 2019…best value was a 2016. Fortunately (to quote Monty Python) “it’s not got much spam in it!”. It already has a couple minor glitches with the “cool” features, like the stupid keyless system.

  I will happily pay thousands to fix what’s wrong on my early 2000’s vehicle, just so I don’t have to get all that BS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google accuses Microsoft of antitrust violations over Azure cloud platform⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hahaha, oh boy, that’s rich!

  Another ATT/VMware type fight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨German investigators successfully tracked suspects inside the Tor network⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And it was created without encryption be default (which was discussed at the time).

  The argument was hardware couldn’t handle the load of encryption at the time. Hahahaha, riiiight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft releases a new Windows app called Windows App for running Windows apps⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just another way MS is working to pull you completely into their system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australia Threatens to Force Companies to Break Encryption⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What country is encryption-friendly, with a commitment to it?

  Seems like a great way to attract businesses today.

  I mean first rule of any company I’ve worked for is encrypted at rest, and even our dialup in the 90’s used encryption via SecureID (well, verification anyway, since dialup is Point-to-point).

  And business traffic in transit is encrypted today - including on our own networks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stadiums Are Embracing Face Recognition. Privacy Advocates Say They Should Stick to Sports⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, that’s all I can do too.

  I had streaking streaming services. I now have one, and would like to be rid of even that, so am working on a home media/everything server, and building up my library. Even with stuff I’m not particularly interested in, because I can.

  Just disappointing that people continue to support these organizations that have made their attitude towards us plebians abundantly clear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stadiums Are Embracing Face Recognition. Privacy Advocates Say They Should Stick to Sports⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, people need to stop going. Problem solved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The banks that loaned Musk $13B to buy Twitter might be having regrets⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m just loving watching it though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sonos CEO says the old app can’t be rereleased⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Indeed.

  Screw this nonsense. Hopefully this enlightens Sonos users to the issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sonos CEO says the old app can’t be rereleased⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Apkmirror?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ex-Google CEO says successful AI startups can steal IP and hire lawyers to ‘clean up the mess’⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is what their lawyers have been advising from the start.

  Easier More profitable to seek forgiveness than ask permission.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Portable CD players are back and now work with wireless headphones⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pulled from the grave, just like portable CD players?

  (Boo! OK, I’ll see myself out. MV is a tragic story)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Try the demo for Pest Apocalypse a horde survival game where you deliver pizza in a van⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hahaha, dammit that’s an entertaining idea!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox added [ad tracking] and has already turned it on without asking you⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They did it behind the scenes, not announcing it.

  If it’s such a good thing, why didn’t they come out and say so?

  Oh, because it’s not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No one should have to “grow a thicker skin”: Valorant studio commit to harsh penalties for harassment⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re a dick. Ban.

  See the problem?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Interview] Signal's Meredith Whittaker on the Telegram security clash and the 'edge lords' at OpenAI⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Trump regime with more authoritarian-style controls”

  Has sheen been asleep for the last 4 years?

  I guess destroying 40% of black-owned businesses in addition to shut g down all sorts of things without actual authority isn’t authoritarianism?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA are thinking about inserting adverts into games - but don’t worry, it’ll be “very thoughtful”⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not in my games, because I ain’t buying such garbage

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA want to put adverts in your video games to squeeze you for every penny⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not in my games… Because I don’t have any of their games.

  Problem solved.
