Not only that. They also want to make sure everything phones home so they can sell your privacy to the highest bidder. When the device should be reporting to a local server installed on a PC in the home, they make sure that instead it reports to their server and the 'owner' of the device logs in to a crappy web app. Eventually, they will push the world's crappiest firmware as an 'upgrade'.
Alas, it tends to be all Ajaxy and stuff. Not that Ajax is intrinsically bad (It can be great), but it tends to be written by web designers who picked up a little code rather than by actual software developers (meaning it isn't actually a proper API using http for RPC). They figure they can implement security in version 2 (which won't happen).
What fantasy land are you living in? The guy working 2 jobs to barely afford the crappy neighborhood he is in doesn't have the resources to move and isn't likely to have relatives living in a better neighborhood.
As to your presumptive assertion that I can't possibly understand the situation, I moved my family from a place with no good job prospects to someplace better, and made sure my daughter got into a decent public school.
It's good that you had that option. How would you feel if you didn't and had to send your daughter to a school where the best outcome you could see is that she manages to not join a gang?
I'm fortunate that I didn't have to go to that sort of school either but I have enough empathy to understand that others get genuinely stuck in that situation.
I see very well how you tell yourself little stereotypical stories about how it must be that the poor people are making bad decisions so you don't have to consider the possibility that perhaps you got out of it through lucky breaks and that they are working just as hard as you did.
And actually, I didn't suspect that you are in the 1% (which is actually more like the 0.1%), I presumed you are one of the many who believe themselves to be a temporarily embarrassed millionaire and drank the cool aid.
It's interesting that while I have been suggesting that people should have a hand up and an opportunity to better themselves, all you can hear (read) is tearing others down. The funny thing is, we wouldn't even have to raise taxes to improve education. Just quit spending so much on subsidizing the 0.1%.
Police drone scans every home in the neighborhood. Oh, look! This one looks interesting. Send a patyrol car to snoop around. Perhaps he can hear some screaming and do a welfare check.
Now, prove they DIDN'T just happen to be patrolling there and think they heard screaming.
Note trhat the DEA has been doing this with NSA tips for a while now. The cat is out of the bag now, and the courts have done absolutely NOTHING about it. They haven't even given DEA and NSA an order to tell them which trials involved 'parallel construction'.
But given that in the US, even use of commonly-available infrared-scanning equipment by law enforcement requires a warrant, I doubt very much that even more intrusive scanning would be ruled legal for LEO without a warrant.
So they'll use it anyway and then use 'parallel construction' to convict you.
It will take far more than a post here to educate you, but here's a question, if someone is working 2 jobs and as a result, just manages to feed, cloth and shelter his/her child, what really great decision is he/she supposed to make to avoid their child going to a school that looks like a bomb hit it where he'll get a sub-standard education? Why do you believe that's perfectly fair for the child?
Why is it so horrible to suggest that the child deserves a good education just like the kid who happened to be born to the leisure class?
Yes, technically they could go v6 only and then listen to the crickets chirping because way too many potential users are v4 only, but that's not an especially good answer.
All file systems trust what's in memory (they have to, anything that would test it lives in memory too!). So the point about ECC RAM and ZFS is that since it is doing it's part to prevent bitrot (unlike most file systems), adding ECC RAM to the picture makes bitrot practically non-existent.
If a block has just been fetched from disk and the checksum fails, it will not write that back to disk, since it knows the data is bad. If the buffer for a write is corrupt, no filesystem can know that.
The heat comes from the reason it isn't certified. Due to the costs involved, nobody has tried it. Same deal for *BSD.
When most people ask if it is Unix, they mean would a person familiar with Unix have any problems with tricks and traps or not. That is a much more subtle question, but also a much more important one.
I have used and admined several and find that in spite of certification, each has it's own quirks. Linux and BSD don't seem to have any more than the others. So while calling Linux or *BSD Unix might violate a trademark, they are, for practical purposes, Unix systems in all but name.
I'm not at all concerned with the parents. I am concerned with the CHILDREN who have not yet had the opportunity to work at all. They should all start at the same position of wealth as the parents who by whatever means were more successful. What has the child of poor parents done wrong in your opinion?
Why should some children who have not themselves done anything to earn anything (since pre-schoolers can't have a job) get the best education has to offer while others (who have done just as much to better their situation, that is, nothing) go to schools that look like Bosnia after the war and have barely literate teachers? How is that fair?
If the same kids were in a race, would it be fair if the kids of wealthy parents had dirt bikes and the rest were running? Gee, I wonder who will win!
You also seem to be blissfully unaware of a great many factors that limit a person's ability to be rich. A great many low income people work very long and hard for little reward. They might well consider going to school if their two jobs left them with any time or money to devote to it.
Starting with differing opportunity is practically the definition of unfair.
Most of the guys in the Fortune 500 started in the upper-most reaches of the working class. They all like to tell a rags to riches story, but for most, the rags were Gucci.
None of that changes the fact that the kid's greatest accomplishment by the time they go to school was being born to the right parents.
I REALLY wish the phone calls permission was split up. I don't mind apps being notified of ringing, off hook and on hook. In most cases, that is all that is needed (or justifiable) for the app to operate as desired. I do mind handing every other app the ability to make calls, or to know who is calling and who I call. The vast majority of all apps that require access to phone calls only need it to save off as you said or to pause/duck audio output when a call is incoming. They don't need to know who is calling.
Actually, the early warnings were perfectly valid due to the large number of things that had to happen. For example, OSes needed to support it, then bind and friends needed to support AAAA RRs and support v6 themselves. We needed routers and those routers needed testing in a more real world environment. Firewallls needed to be developed, cable modems, APs and home routers needed to support it, and on and on.
All of that has to not only happen, but preferably happen early enough that the natural upgrade/replacement cycle will have them in place before absolutely needed.
If you read past the headlines, the last big out of IPs notice was talking about the last of the free pool being allocated to the regional. Now the regionals are one by one implementing rationing as their pools empty.
Case in point - everything will again have their own IP address and you don't have to use stuff like STUN or other things because end-to-end connectivity is guaranteed. False, since firewalls are still around, and just because both ends can see each other doesn't mean they can talk to each other.
So open the needed port in the firewall. No more STUN.
Then there's the "guilty PC" problem that the content creators oh-so-love. It's hard to identify people from PCs now because so many devices share a single IP address. But when that single IP means a single device, it's a heck of a lot easier.
So pick another address at random. You have 256 IPv4 internet's worth to choose from within your prefix.
Well, with IPv6 right now, if your ISP changes your prefix, have fun resetting the configuration of everything to use that new prefix. Hope the auto-discovery picks everything up and maybe things will work. If not, have fun debugging. And while NATv6 is defined, many places (e.g., Linux) refuse to accept it. I mean, is it so bad that my internal network... works? And if my ISP gives me a new prefix I do diddly squat like right now? Or that I don't have to remember what the IP is of the PC next to me is after it's prefix changes?
Use the local prefix to talk to local machines. Use autoconfig to handle the ISP assigned prefix. It actually does work. There you go, zero work.

They have gotten a lot sneakier now. That's how the DEA acts on NSA tips that come from illegal surveillance.
They take the info and then set a trap where they have the 'astounding luck' to stumble upon the evidence.
Or, of course, he might have run from the cab to the security checkpoint because he's running late...
But given that in the US, even use of commonly-available infrared-scanning equipment by law enforcement requires a warrant, I doubt very much that even more intrusive scanning would be ruled legal for LEO without a warrant.

You are either trolling or desperately trying not to get the point.
And, of course, none of those sort of people would ever fib, right?
OTOH, anyone who says anything online has a good reason not to tell every kook and killer in the world where they live.
Go ahead, post your complete and accurate contact info right here. Do include phone number.

Most of those sunk costs have been paid back a bazillion times over by now.
A good shortcut is to just total up the BOM. All of the development costs for those components will have been amortized into that.

Push the eject HOLE with your finger and see what (doesn't) happen.
That is not a button, it's a HOLE. It says so right in the picture.

Page 2 of TFA says they already have a team working on it.
It is thought that it can take several decades to become symptomatic in some cases.

That's not my test, it's Turing's. I get the impression that it's being taken way more seriously than he intended it.
The risk of forged checks is there even if you never use them yourself.
