1) Ask boss to make sure the backup password is recorded. Boss complies. 2) Kill boss, hide evidence, get away with it. 3) Find out the "backup password" he put down was a decoy. Woops, I guess he didn't trust you after all. 4) Panic!
Well, it could have been worse. The money could all have been stolen. At least this way they know where it is. In a sense, it is still perfectly secure, too...
That's more along the lines of how I feel. But there's still plenty of blame to go around. Google/Nest owes at the very least an apology to the public for misrepresenting their ability to enforce any security for these devices they sell.
Even more curious how it was magically fixed moments after my post called it suspicious. And now somehow, anonymous cowards are angry about it. Coincidence? Perhaps not...
Just yesterday there was a post asking about what global technical disasters had not yet come to pass, suspiciously like they were plumbing the Slashdot crowd for ideas on how to finish ruining civilization. And now, here we are.
+1 underrated. GameStop's downward slide has been depressing to watch, but every single time in the last 4 years that I've tried to prop them up with my own money, neither the staff on hand nor the stock room were prepared to do their part of the bargain. I really hate having to walk next door to Target or Best Buy. Why do they do a better job at actually stocking the games?
Possible, but most companies usually spin that situation like "never fear, we found the evildoers hacking our servers and we've taken steps to address the security problem" even if they don't actually take any steps whatsoever.
Yea, or Apple could have just designed it with different screws. Oh, does that impinge on their creative freedom though? Oh well, then I guess the world has to burn.
If that had been what happened, there would be a press release, followed by a police investigation and report. The silent correction with no explanation suggests it was an inside job. Likely they caught their own staff doing this, and are embarrassed to publicly admit it.
It's just some fucking astro-turfer. The entire Republican manifesto requires the largest portion of their voting base to believe the subtext that "Christianity is under fire from all directions" in order to maintain their single-issue-voters mindset.
He's not actually in the US. He's technically not a traitor, either. He's a loyal and patriotic Russian citizen. He's also a liar, mind you, but only a fool would take comments on this site for fact.
Yea, maybe you're right. Or, maybe I'm just bored and lonely, and by feeding me more attention you're playing right into my nefarious plot. But then, you wouldn't mind being my pawn. You like being a pawn of just any random person who comes walking by, don't you? So in this way we are actually helping each other out, comrade.
Slashdot Mirror
It screams "make it look like an accident" to me.
If you register and attain a decent Karma rating, you get to disable the ads.
The only real mystery is how he survived this long with such a huge target hanging around his neck.
Ready for a good conspiracy theory?

And will any of us be as sorely missed as he? Probably not.
Some combination of convenience and money. Strike the wrong balance between the two though, and it can be worse than no security at all.
... requires sacrifice.
People who actually know how marketing lies work.
The fact there's no way to disable charging while docked encourages a lot of battery conservationists to use it mobile just to not waste it.
That Nintendo Switch Pro controller is so nice, Valve even added support for it to Steam.

Oh yea, and some of the people in charge are secretly evil.
If you spend your whole life blaming everyone else for your problems it becomes difficult to accurately trace cause to effect.
True that. My mom wouldn't have been able to get a license for either one.

Oh, I'm a genius alright, but nothing even approaching stable. You'd best BTFO.
