The US is not a democracy. Trump has very little support.
- Comment on Logitech to ship mice with replaceable batteries in Europe only, following Nintendo 1 day ago:
Sounds like you have a bias. Most people aren’t like that, only 20-30%
- Comment on Logitech to ship mice with replaceable batteries in Europe only, following Nintendo 1 day ago:
Uh, no. There’s some small minority of companies that complain that regulations hurt businesses.
But the vast majority of people want regulations.

- Comment on Activist charged with felony after giving border agent "duress code" that wiped his phone 4 days ago:
I’m her excited, personally. It’s the best case to establish a good precedent… Especially since the officer wiped it.
- Comment on Activist charged with felony after giving border agent "duress code" that wiped his phone 4 days ago:
What’s different here is that the officer wiped the device. It’s going to be interesting if they go to prison, and how much compensated will be paid to the victim

When I was in Uni 10 years after you, we all got our textbooks from our peers on a Dropbox that just got passed down from student to student.
Took me a few years to figure this out, and saved me a tooon of $$ by not having to buy textbooks.
And I always preferred the digital version. So much faster to Ctrl+f or flip back between the appendix and the chapter.

Parental controls are an excellent tool to teach kids how to bypass parental controls.
I support this, so long as there’s no rules against kids learning how to bypass parental controls. It’s basically a CTF. All kids should learn how to mitigate internet censorship.

Before I got a smartphone, I didn’t read books.
Now I listen to maybe 6 books per year, and read the equivalent of probably >20 books per year from news articles and Wikipedia.

Eh, I’m pretty sure anything that is super intelligent will kill itself shortly after learning about Earth and the people that created it

I think a lot of companies use EDR to software disable USB ports. But I wouldn’t recommend it.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
This requires physical access. I don’t get it, why is this bad?
Someone with physical access can already pull out the disk, clone it, and put in a different disk that boots to an identical looking login, but which actually relays the password back to the attacker.
What more would this exploit allow an attcker with phsycal access thay wouldn’t already have before this exploit?

- Comment on Meta data center water discharges suspended after contaminating the city's reclamation water supply with bacterium 3 weeks ago:
Mercury from fluorescent bulbs isn’t normal trash and can’t be cleaned. We’re talking about bacteria.
Your analogy would be better if they were dumping CFCs or viruses.
- Comment on Meta data center water discharges suspended after contaminating the city's reclamation water supply with bacterium 3 weeks ago:
Goat Systems routed that flush water, which contained Cupriavidus gilardii, into Cheyenne’s sanitary sewer
Wait, wut. So they didn’t dump it into the watershed. They sent it to the water treatment center.
Isn’t the sanitary sewer’s job to clean black water? Like they already get water with poop in it (and all the bacterium that comes with literal feces). Why is this a problem?

- Comment on Wide-ranging 7-zip vulnerability with 8.8 CVE rating allows for code execution — hundreds of millions of machines potentially at risk 2 months ago:
That actually doesn’t seem to be so severe.
How many people download some random archive and then, after extracting it, they double click on the files inside it?
It says the risk of this vuln is arbitrary code execution of a maliciously crafted archive.
After fixing this bug, most 7zip users will still be vulnerable to arbitrary code execution due to maliciously crafted archives.
