When was the last time that replacing a part in your car was blocked by DRM? That's why you need to modify the firmware in these tractors. You keep playing dumb, but are ignoring the basic facts. This is not about tweaking, it's about repair.
So you're not going to reapply to the part above that? There's a lot of similarities on the business model - both profit from service rather than the code itself. That means this new thing is not the first for-pay distro or that neither are.
As you figured out by the release of this distro, which is available on GitHub as open source, what they are selling is the convenience of a compiled system ready for download in the Windows Store.
There's no point playing the semantics game on this. None of it makes a significant difference.
So why is the market failing to produce such an option?
Oligopolies don't have to directly collude to force consumers down this road. They simply copy each other's ideas. And if there's no choice that doesn't have this problem, consumers are still going to need to pick something.
Just look at ISPs for another example of the market not getting what it wants.
Farmers don't care about hacking directly, but anyone that wants to get in the third party repair business would have to by definition. Farmers would certainly like a less extortionate repair option.
Due to NIST budget cuts, they will likely be shutting down WWV and all the other radio time beacons. I find it hard to imagine that GPS set clocks would be more reliable than WiFi - GPS signals don't propagate very well inside. NTP is hardly convoluted and it's been around for decades.
Stop trying to pop all the popcorn. In fact, stop it while it's popping at a pretty brisk pace. Not only will nothing be burnt, but the popped popcorn won't be dried out either.
Passphrases that are obviously not single dictionary words could easily be excluded. And passwords that have spaces in them would already be broken up in the index. It's the lack of a validating dictionary that makes it a problem.
The general argument is that there are prescription drugs that sort of work now. When they don't, you're homeless and wish you had a mental institution to call home.
Laws shouldn't be passed to protect people from stupidity.
Nobody can be an expert on everything. Especially without awareness that there are important things that they need to know. You can't go out and learn what you don't know you need to know.
There's really no reason or defense for the insane defaults we have now. Cars don't default to having the airbags disabled. Refrigerators don't default to temperatures outside of the food safety zone.
Provide funding to startup a commercial product security certification organization, similar to what underwriters laboratory (UL) [wikipedia.org] does for safety.
You know what underwriters do? They back insurance risks. Fires are very expensive. There is no financial incentive behind consumer electronics security like there is for insurance agencies to prevent fires.
Let those that care pay higher premiums reflecting the reduced information available to the insurance company
Nah....it will reflect the worst case scenario because you obviously have something to hide. Just like spoliation of evidence in a court case. You will get the highest possible premiums, not an average.
3 years later...oh, actually eating red meat is good for you now. Here's a refund...just kidding. Just wait until you look at people's egg and butter/margarine consumption histories. Everything bad is good again and vice versa. Good old grains are currently the devil.
Mostly Samsung EVO 850/860 sales. Amazon isn't always cheaper, though. They have consistent low prices, but the only "sales" they have is sometimes silently matching other people's sale prices.
The last step of checkout has been glitchy for over a year. Though I have been using a card on file and only had to enter my CVV code multiple times or gave up and used PayPal.

The other option is to play games on your desktop while your laptop is at work. This requires a somewhat larger desk.
People keep buying and using Windows, so they can't be that outraged
I get outraged at bad drivers all the time. I still drive my car. There are no alternatives that work for me.

Red Hat only releases their source, not CentOS.

First Linux distro you have to buy
Wouldn't that be Red Hat? They also release their source, but they sure aren't the ones offering CentOS.

The firmware blocks third-party parts using DRM. Any talk about the hardware is inextricable from the talk about software.
I should have said that as passphrases (with dictionary words).
No.

main software developers all building a single OS for IoT with security built in
A software monoculture is great for security. Much more efficient to take down the entire globe at once when a flaw is discovered.
They're way more likely to pay the claim and drop you
Yeah...that won't work for the life insurance ones. Everyone gets dropped after the first claim.

It's effectively acting as an indexing keylogger too, though. Not just the contents of documents.

Nothing worse than broken validation that doesn't expect you to copy/paste, insert in the middle of existing text, or hit backspace (or tab).
