Automatic configuration buttons are part of the issue with IoT and are not really going to be a solution. Education seems to be the only way we're going to get any traction on securing those device, people need to understand what their devices are doing, with whom they are communicating, and what the risks are. It will take a lot more incidents before the general public is willing to invest any interest in the security or their connected devices.
Regardless of how they get there I'll certainly never buy one. The technology if of course interesting and in some parts very advanced but even so this seems like an awful lot of effort to remove a steering wheel.
does 'certified for iDevice' even matter anymore? I could see it being a concern for the average consumer about a decade ago but so many products, uncertified mind you, exist for the apple to channel audio from soundcard to headbone that the logo itself seems of little merit.
I only really worry about not using knock off cables/adapters when it's connected to 110 volt power or higher, cheaply made cables that break easily are also easily replaced; cheaply made power adapters without proper insulation and air gaps can cause fires and electrocutions. That being said I use Apple EarPods because I find them comfortable.
Are you implying that ALL US intelligence is "ill-gotten"?
I don't think it matters what percentage of the intelligence is tainted, we won't be able to tell the difference; so from the public perspective all intelligence can be viewed as tainted.
Absolutely. Contactless is pointless and expensive as fuck for merchants. I can't imagine many businesses where the "neat-o" factor from a few phone enthusiasts to be able to pay with their phones is going to outweigh the costs.
Sometimes it comes down to offering convenience to your customers, there are 2 'corner' stores near my place, store a is a five minute walk, store b is a seven minute walk. I walk and drive to store b more often because I can use tap on my credit card to pay, store a requires chip and pin.
The person in question is a Canadian citizen and cannot be denied reentry into Canada or sent back.
I think it's the term 'Quebecker' (someone from Quebec) that is confusing people.
Five centuries of work before that never perfected heavier-than-air flying machines either, until one year, presto, all the necessary preconditions were finally met and airplanes became a reality. There's nothing linear about progress.
The most intelligent comment I have read on Slashdot in years (possibly ever), if only I had any mod points.
Automating simple/repetitive tasks represents most of my self assigned projects (in between larger/outside funded development projects which are assigned) the most important thing is to always be working on something... or at the very least always appear to be working on something.
Our food trucks have the same dine safe (colour coded sign with date and any inspection warnings issued) display requirements that our non-portable eating spaces have.

Let me guess, hetried to throw you, but you were caught?
I take exception to that.
At least it wasn't fatal
Clearly we should just give up on the human race and let the machines think for us now.
Where have you been, I gave up on the human race years ago, I for one welcome our new autonomous overlords.

Nuke it from orbit!
I use whichever hand is closer the the pad (most are set up for right hand use); however, unlike a keyboard I touch type on a pin pad.

You must not hate driving like I hate driving.
MSVS and MS SQL Server on Linux and OS X would be sweet.

I think you missed all the subtly in my comment.
subtly... This is slashdot, we don't do subtly here.

I mean, the fuck happened that people need to willingly give up the right to control their own data to be able to work??

Then what's the point; I want to sleep!

Well, 256GB SSD ought to be enough for anybody, and is relatively affordable.
enough is never enough.
15 years ago they were grumbling these kids couldn't run nor catch a ball. Horrors, what will they be saying in 2025?
That use of a direct neural interface has rendered children unable to swipe to unlock.
a google app is just going to tell people things that they already know about themselves.
That app will do well, anything to parrots ourselves back to us will have mass appeal.

The only people who "win" law suits are the lawyers; nothing to see here, move along.
