"Grayshift has gone to great lengths to future proof their technology and stated that they have already defeated this security feature in the beta build"
Thanks for a post that's reminiscent of when/. really was for nerds. I didn't know that about GSM and CDMA data. I labored under the delusion (propoganda?) that GSM was superior.
"KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says Apple is "mulling" a "low-cost version" of the HomePod that may help short-term shipments. However, even if the product materializes, he predicts it will only provide a short-term boost to sales."
Like with the first iPhone and the Apple watch, they need to upgrade the software to match the hardware, NOT downgrade the hardware--which is what Homepod has going for it.
The reality here is that if you want to build a service that helps connect everyone in the world, then there are a lot of people who can't afford to pay.
Without realizing that advertisers won't pay to advertise to people with no money it sort of makes you sound like an idiot.
Not only that, he'd be more convincing if there was a pay model AND a free model. But there's not, so everyone is the product.

"In a lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Burlington, Comcast argued that the PUC "exceeded its authority under federal and Vermont law" by imposing "numerous conditions on Comcast's continued cable operations in the state that are arbitrary, unprecedented and will ultimately harm local cable subscribers by resulting in millions of dollars in increased cable costs." It said the commission "did so despite overwhelming record evidence that Vermont cable subscribers do not want to incur any additional costs or fees for the kinds of conditions imposed" in the commission's January order."
How about if the PUC just decides that there's no carriage agreement and allows free and unfettered competition?

I don't know about the others above, but Ford's (you don't have any...) privacy policy SUCKS, so I don't use their services. It's only going to get worse. I can not use their services now, but it's not too far over the horizon where they're mandatory and you'll basically have a shrink-wrap license/privacy policy for you car that you'll have to accept in toto just to be able to drive it.

We have a big problem with cashless businesses. Where I live you can't go swimming or take the bus with cash.
I think it's a shame. You should be careful to preserve the cash option. First of all it's good for kids to learn the value of money, you don't get the same sense of spending if you don't lose something physical. Second of all, if your bank screws up you're supposed to be able to take out your money and walk out of the bank. If you can't use the cash you take out the banks' power increases a lot.
I've been wondering how much the Salvation Army bell ringers have been hurting since less and less people carry cash with them.

They should go the other way and totally re-introduce the random human element by banning instant replay.
"How is it stupid? "
Because the OS is still in beta, it means Apple can fix/change how it works before release.
5 bucks says Apple either has/has access to a Graykey.
"Grayshift has gone to great lengths to future proof their technology and stated that they have already defeated this security feature in the beta build"
Umm, if true, how stupid of them to say it.
....just as long as I can be sure that there isn't a creature on the wing....
Zuck did no such thing - he pretty much robotically kept denying specific knowledge of pretty much everything he got asked.
Humbled = Humiliated.

Which brings us into the realm of the EPA - which these days is problematic to say the least.
Yep, between what the Chinese know and care about pollution (not much), and our current EPA, Wisconsin is screwed.

Dear Mark,
When you say things like:
Without realizing that advertisers won't pay to advertise to people with no money it sort of makes you sound like an idiot.
Not only that, he'd be more convincing if there was a pay model AND a free model. But there's not, so everyone is the product.
That's just damage control.
"The truth is, we could make a ton of money if we monetized our customer -- if our customer was our product,"
It's kind of axiomatic that if the service is free, you're the product..which you are for Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, etc....
"Zecher said that allowing device owners or independent repair professionals to service smart home devices and connected appliances could expose consumer data to hackers or identity thieves."
"That's our job."

Taking GUI advice from a Gnome GUI developer is like taking Twitter etiquette advice from Donald Trump.
...a SWAT team's like a penis. If you have one, you're gonna want to use it.
...or the Russian trolls being paid to do so.

And get off my lawn.
The headline calls this a PRANK? No, a prank doesn't end up with a dead body....
Wikileaks understands keeping 3000 Bitcoin in one wallet address is stupid.
When will journalists actually bother to learn how cryptocurrency works?
WHY is it stupid? Perhaps because it's too easy to steal and there isn't any FDIC for Bitcoin?
So I wonder how the companies can justify this? I can't think of any compelling legal reason to get users' login information.

Since when is correlation causation?

"Sure, I'll hire you because you've proven yourself to be so ethical..."
Snort. That's as moronic as the guy who just tried to rob a bank by writing the note on one of his checks...and then leaving it with the teller.
