Well, without exaggeration, if it wasn't for the lack of idiocy coming out the various government organizations, nobody would have noticed the shutdown.
If you don't get vaccinated against some disease that only exists in some godforsaken corner of the world and you don't plan to even remotely go there, that's sensible. But we're not talking about something like this. We are talking about a highly contagious disease that exists right here, with a chance of 1:1,000 to have a severe, potentially life threatening or permanently lasting negative impact on an infected, with an incidence rate of less than 1:1,000,000 for ANY side effects of the vaccination.
If it was the other way around, I'd be right with you. If the infection chance was low and the chance for complication around 1:1,000,000 with vaccination complications being higher than this (as is the case with some of the rarer influenza strains), whether getting vaccinated is debatable at least, or something that only makes sense for people with an elevated infection risk.
It's experience, if anything. Do you know any anti-vacc'er above the age of 80? Won't find one. Why? Because they DO remember what an iron lung looks like. And they probably saw a sibling in one.
Well, considering one of the first thing the install routine does is to phone home to find out whether your copy of Windows happens to have the blessing from the gods of Redmond, you could just use that network connection for something useful too...
And once you get a whole office suite, SQL server, webserver, a couple GUIs to choose from, compilers for pretty much any programming langugage there is for the OS you're installing and a couple things more that I forgot because I never needed them on that same CD as Windows, you actually compare the systems correctly.
Security is like politics. Like politicians, passwords should be audited from time to time to see if they're still as good as you thought they are, and you should change them frequently. Additionally, occasionally one should take a step back and check whether the system you put into place is still up to the requirements of a changing world.
Sure, but you could be seen by someone who thinks it's odd that an adult undresses a kid with his eyes and follows said kid around. People do tend to be sensitive to that kind of thing by now.
Or someone pissed enough of the whole IoT makers flaunting their disregard for the privacy of their users who doesn't give a shit about kids who makes a webpage that tracks every kid and puts their whereabouts and how to pretend you're daddy when luring them somewhere...
And making it public knowledge that they have a load of private information and sell it is not scandals, at least not with those that matter, it's called "advertising to your actual customer".
While I agree 100%, the thing here is that the exposure to the threat is unnecessary. It is possible to implement this in a secure manner with very little effort. If this was only possible with a lot of expense or at the expense of functionality, I'd be right with you. But what we are dealing here is just lazy engineering, opening a security hole where none needs to exist.
Because some channels are more equal than others. You don't think that people haven't tried to do some retaliation strikes on some of the official channels of the studios that routinely drop strike cluster bombs, not caring who or what they hit?
YouTube is a business. First and foremost. A business that makes money by showing ads to people. At least so I heard. Anyway, what does NOT generate money is lawsuits. They cost money. Now, what's more likely to cost YouTube money: Losing one of the roughly 20 billion Minecraft-Let's-Players or looking into the issue of him getting scammed?
Usually I'd have to break a law before I get arrested. What laws did the people under surveillance break? Or, wait, we're dealing with the UAE, a country where laws is basically "whatever whim the sheik comes up with".

I agree. But some kids need that very personal experience of a hot stove.

But with measles it's a no brainer.

It's not the dumb fucks but the selfish assholes. Gotcha.
The driver is just a few 100k, but telemetry packages are kinda large by now.
When have we ever asked whether the people in Africa wanted the blessings of our civilization?

Availability is one facet of the information security triad, i.e. confidentiality, integrity and availability. What's your point?
How can you use something that you can't even define? Flumbo is good for you, Flumbo will make you big, strong and wow! Wtf?
If I posted it in Hindi, who'd get the joke?

They hold the most patents. That's all. We're still a far cry from answering the all important question: What does "AI" mean anyway?
I mean, imagine someone with an Indian accent called you with "Sir, I'm from your bank and we have to inform you ..."

Hold my beer.
BECAUSE of them.

I'm great at offering fake apologies, but first I'd have to know what for.

We can talk about news reporters having a job, but only if we also talk about how to legalize the torture of infomercial folks.

Ok, never mind.
