"On one hand one should not count the sunk cost when thinking of what is the best strategy "
This maxim certainly applies to private enterprise with your own capital on the line. Im not so sure it should be so readily applied when you are spending someone else's money.
Those things all work because the internet is open. An 'IoT' device is still a computer that has a right to be on the net like any other. Look, you cant grow anything good without getting some weeds, its the NATURE OF FERTILE GROUND. You have to be very careful how you deal with the weeds or you risk making the ground worthless.
No, its not. What you are suggesting is a Pyrrhic Victory. You would salt the ground to 'win'? You wouldnt be left with the internet, it would be something else, something ugly.
"the only way I can see to stop it is to permanently dismantle the IoT"
How do you do that without breaking the internet? How do you do that without onerous registration or whitelisted hardware? How do you get your way without destroying the network?
There is nothing special about 'the IoT', they are computers on the internet, like any others. Why dont we start with educating people on how to administer and secure their networks before you start taking out your ass again.

More power doesnt have to mean more realism. More power means that you have more options on tap, and have to make less compromises. More particles, more dynamic lighting, larger maps, more enemies are all what comes with more power, not just more detail. Until we can simulate reality down the particle, more power will continue to add fidelity and depth to the experience. Saying its 'good enough' only shows that you have stopped trying to imagine more.
I think this is what frustrates me the most. I had a.exe that Win 10 refused to run under any circumstances. Windows 10 pretty much said 'Im sorry, i cant let you do that'
Thats why i used the word shrinking, not dying. We will always have real-time voice, but it is already overshadowed by everything else. Texts are the dominant form of communication, by far.
Keep in mind some neighbors have no compunction about acting extra-judiciously to curb your behavior. First few times you might get the cops called, after that its rocks through your windows.
How in the hell do you know what my network is doing? More than anything else i take exception with the idea that only defined realtime services are given priority. What is to stop everyone from making their traffic look like VOIP? Again, your bits are no more important than my bits.

Sony has my PS3 login proof, and this post should serve as proof i had Linux installed.

"Driving is an integral freedom of society"
Citation please.
We long ago decided that the Freedom of Travel clause in no way applies to how we regulate roads. What you are missing is there will come an inflection point where people with automated cars will demand we stop letting human drivers on the road with them for the inevitable accidents they cause. Every rage driver, or hot rodder is going to stick out like a sore thumb. What you fail to understand that at some point the ROAD will control your car, not itself. The Roadmaster computer will decided how fast you go, what turns you make to get where you want to go. It will intelligently route cars to avoid congestion. IT will take routes humans never would and still be faster. Its coming, much faster than you would ever imagine.
Driving is not a right, it is not a leisure activity. Its a means of conveyance from point A to point B. You will still be able to human-drive a car, but your insurance will be prohibitively expensive. This isnt even conjecture, its inevitable fact. Once robot cars take over, the insurance actuarial tables will force them to charge exorbitant rates due to the unnecessary risk of allowing a human to operate the vehicle. Make no mistake, the days of humans driving vehicles are numbered.
Truly a well-reasoned and impassioned response to the 30,000 people killed every year, the vast majority of which were caused by direct human inattention to detail. People are the worst drivers imaginable, robots cannot possibly EVER be worse.
Time is a critical element to documents, just like everything else. You are being dismissive of the FBI's outright malfeasance here. IF the FBI has nothing to hide, it would not take so long.
No, its way late. Its time to radically rethink our vehicle infrastructure NOW. Self-driving should be flat out outlawed within 20 years. 30,000 souls a year screaming for us to change is a powerful motivator. Keep up or get out of the way.
No, I want her to pay a professional to help her with it, just like if she wanted a new electrical socket installed to plug it in, or a needed a water line for the automatic ice maker.

I bought a $75 Guess Waterpro (100m) with a nice all-metal silver band in 2002. Still works to this day 14 years later.

If Apple was truly concerned they would issue a spec for free.

You are arguing 'security through obscurity'. I thought we killed that line of thought years ago...

I forgot to add that synchronous voice comm is a shrinking tech, so giving so much priority to it is a bit short-sighted anyways.

What an enlightened and well-reasoned response. I am in awe of your eloquence and articulation on the subject matter at hand.
