And how is this a "worst-case scenario"? Worst case for cloud companies like Box that will have their use of private data regulated, and have to actually implement security. Currently when they get hacked (when, not if) their strategy is to shrug and say "my bad", then business as usual.
There is no incentive for these companies to be secure because there is no penalty for when they get hacked. (when, not if)
That the public actually stops blindly trusting data to these companies... or at least holding them accountable is the best case scenario.
I see no reason why any company holding any personal data should be trusted. They are the ones that resist any regulation of personal data. They are the ones that profit off of it.
You have to earn trust. Since when has any company done that?
If you have a checkbook, you already have your account number. My backup file on my local network covers the rest of the details. Otherwise, get a piece of paper and a secure place to put it.
(That was the first name that showed up in a google result for "Kenja". For all I know the user could be Jan Hamilton, instead.:)
As an aside, I just did a google search for my own username to see what would happen. I (predictably) found a bunch of slashdot comments and stuff from the other site and straight-up content-theft dumps of slashdot and, oh yeah, dozens of actual news articles quoting me by username as if I was an authority on anything.
Now, I stand by all of my comments that are not purely shitposting, which I really try to limit these days. But what the actual fuck Pharr Technologies from 2011? I am literally some random nobody with a fake name online. I could be actually making shit up completely. The comment is old enough that I don't recall typing it, though the story does describe something that did happen to me, and so is likely true.
And Katherine Noyes of Linux Insider, just posting a bunch of dumb comments from slashdot as a news article? I thought I was lazy.
I have a fairly unique name, and I purchased a house, putting my name and address on the public record. Frankly, I don't want you crazy people to know where I live.
Prices so cheap your competitors either sell to you or go out of business. And with the advent of tons of digital cameras, labor is so cheap that professionals get priced out of the business entirely.
Though the first half of that is obviously more serious than the second one.
I am concerned that I am going to get extortion letters from Getty for my own images that I have on 500px. Not that I am a professional photographer or that anyone would actually pay for my photos. But Getty doesn't seem to give a shit about stomping all over little people that it. The principal of not being able to do what I want with something I own is infuriating enough.
If I simply delete them all, then there is no remaining evidence online that the pictures were ever mine, giving Getty the power to sell them at will.
At least I wasn't stupid enough to share my full resolution raws with 500px. Is having those at least defense in court that I am the actual owner of a given image?
"Privacy" has become a buzzword, it no longer has any meaning. People are concerned with privacy, so companies stick that word in their press releases to try to get people to trust them. Next we will see things marketed as "Privacy-based spyware that protects the customer."
Browser plugin sounds like a no-go for me. It will end up being bricked when the plugin is no longer supported, and I don't feel like maintaining an old vm just for accessing my security videos. Ease of use is a primary goal. If its a pain in my ass, I won't bother with it.
Or is the plugin just for configuring the camera, and it saves its data as normal files to a network share?
There are other social media companies too. And its much easier to transfer between them.
Yeah, a few people that don't have backups would be fucked, but those people are inconsequential. Anyone that cares about their photos has local backups.
Hey, I know all about write-only code. I have written plenty of it. I don't know why you are substituting anger for "I don't agree with you."
But I don't publish papers on the results of my code. I do have to go through code review and if I can't explain it to my peers, or it doesn't get accepted. (Unless, of course, a manager is having a panic heart-attack and has to have the fix right now, damn the review system!)

One of the great things about storage being so dirt cheap is there is no reason to delete a raw file ever.

Also most of the views of a video happen in the first 48 hours, so it screws the person out of nearly all of the ad revenue they might make.
The 48 hour review window is perfectly designed to screw content creators out of as much revenue as possible.

I was trying to figure out how making the cable wider would affect security in any way? Nobody actually physically taps wires anymore.
So their stock price went through the roof when their revenue cut by more than half?
That sounds almost like an orchestrated pump and dump scheme. I'm sure the SEC is keeping an eye on how many C-level execs cashed out.
Ad-based data-collection companies like Google and Facebook go absolutely nuts in the stock market.
Maybe it is because it is hard to estimate what a giant company that lives almost solely on the vague concept of "eyes" is really worth?
Oh, and I am in a legal document, predictably, shitposting.
Fuck me, there is no hope for society left. (I would like it to be on record that I stand by that shitpost, however.)

I have some bad news for you, Kenneth Dyers.
Perhaps he was evicted from home and returned under a new name?
Beats the shit out of doxing.
The Walmart strategy of brand dominance.

Like the ATMOS System.
Even without a limited data plan... graphics processing across a mobile network?
That is probably the dumbest idea I have heard of.

Why bother trying to maintain their failed maps system when there are several others they could partner with?
Though I suppose I wouldn't want them to get too involved with something like Mapbox. Apple would fuck that up too.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good wifi camera for somoene that already has FreeNAS?
Having worked for some banks... This means "no security whatsoever"

It also hung in the air exactly the way bricks don't.
