So, you believe that there's no possible chance that the police will abuse this new power to dig into your phone? Or is it that you believe that when they do abuse it, they're surely be held accountable for their abuse?
It'll be at least as safe as it currently is. Which is to say, not at all. It's already widely shared both for profit and to government agencies, so I fail to see how this would be any different.
This must be for drivers will lots of spare time. Around here, they barely even slow down long enough to fling my package onto my front lawn from the driver's seat. I can just imagine how much they'll enjoy waiting for my garage door to open and then sticking around long enough to make sure it closes again after they carefully deliver my goods.
Oh, wait, no they won't. Because their dispatcher will ride them for taking too long to make their route.
"I'm especially gutted because so much thought, time, money, and effort went into building the device and I hope this doesn't just taint the entire effort as 'fake,'"
But...it was fake. You faked all of your test data and presented it as real results, therefore your entire research project is, at best, suspect. You deliberately mislead your viewers and now you're shocked at the result.
I'm putting money on "under 24 hours" before the first proof-of-concept malware is written that can escape the sandbox, followed by years of bug-fixing whack-a-mole before this is anywhere close to secure.
I received a form letter showing me the voting status of everyone on my street (names redacted, addresses intact, but since I know my neighbors and where they live, it's hardly good enough to redact the names) and a warning that if I didn't vote today they would start calling me on the phone to explain myself. They didn't put it like that, of course, because that borders on harassment, but that's exactly what the entire letter implied. "If you choose not to vote, we'll be calling you in the next few days to discuss your choice." Yeah, I don't think so. The only response you're going to get from me is a big "Eff You".
It suggested that I may want to "talk to [my] non-voting neighbors to help them understand why voting is important]." and that they would be doing the same by calling them after election day (if they didn't vote), too.
Yes, you should vote. But whether you vote or not is still a choice and no one has the right to harass you for it.
Oh no! However will Equifax survive having to dip into the petty cash to pay a fine that's less than the lunch tab for yesterday's executive meeting about it?
How about instead of randomly deleting my personal files off of my personal device, you start moving your own "rarely used" files? C:\Windows\WinSXS is a perennial problem. You can't tell me that you need all that SXS data available at a moment's notice. What about the SoftwareDistribution directory? What about all of your uninstallers and other crap that fills up my Windows directory? How about let's look at moving that stuff to the cloud first, eh?

Bungie's Destiny had an in-game emblem (called Can't Stop The Signal) drop if you Twitch-streamed for 77 hours straight. Granted, it's not "stream to win", but it was an in-game reward for streaming.
My time (and cell phone minutes) are also worth money, and its costs me, too. A cost that I am absolutely unwilling to bear. There are better ways to put an end to this nonsense that don't cost me more of my limited time or money.
Given that the Oscars have proven themselves over and over to be little more than a sham based on who promotes their movie to the Academy better and not on any artistic merit whatsoever, I wonder why we continue to give them any credence at all.
I had a really good third party app for that called Extreme Call Blocker that you could configure to do a hangup-no-voicemail on blacklisted calls. The app is still available but it doesn't work reliably anymore and the maintainer appears to have vanished. I haven't found a replacement app yet.
So are regular non-smart watches, designer jeans, jewelry, makeup, a Corvette, and any other luxury you care to name. What is your point? People like what they like.
Slashdot Mirror
Hard to believe that 14 million artists stored their only existing copies of their songs on Myspace, with no other backups or local copies.

muh whattabout
Cowardly spoken by someone who didn't even begin to understand my comment. Well done.
they say there is no consistent police practice that holds those drivers accountable for traffic crashes
Funny, I was going to say the same thing about police accountability for abusing their powers.
They don't have to jack up rates, but of course they will. I mean, this is AT&T we're talking about, after all.

I can see headlines... runners fail to best Usain Bolt's best time by one Picosecond +/- 2.7 Femtoseconds.
No fair! You changed the outcome by measuring it!

and you can buy the kit to open any car for $20k
I think I'll just use this rock I found lying by the side of the road instead.
Not trying to be overly pedantic here, but do you mean firewall? Routers aren't necessarily security devices.

But they rebuilt the Game Bar UI! It's like a whole new operating system!
I don't know about you, but I can't wait until everyone is walking around with soulless black eyes just like Zuckerbot.
I've lost two close family members to Alzheimers. It's one of the cruelest diseases I've ever seen. Yes, we want a damn cure.

I don't want them to go to voicemail at all. Let them listen to 4 rings and then hang up on them.
