Email is one of the very few services that is decentral and can absolutely not go away at the whim of one (or even many) corporations (it doesn't matter that users try to re-centralize it by essentially using just one mail service provider, if gmail goes down, Email doesn't give a shit).
Email is also reliable in a technical sense. The mail either gets delivered, or you get a bounce mail. Anything else is broken and misconfigured and gets you hate mail at postmaster@ very quickly. The pertinent specifications are very strict about this. When people tell you your Email "probably got lost", you can be pretty sure they're lying in your face (or are too dumb to check their spam folder). Absolutely and every time ask your sysadmin about what's with the email. In 99% of the cases the answer will be either "Yes, we accepted and delivered the mail", or "No, we haven't even seen a submission attempt". Bonus: If an Email, according to your sysadmin, *did* get lost for whatever reason, you can yell at them for violating RFC2821 (or whatever's hip now) and they will likely understand your madness and apologize and fix the situation and be ashamed for a week If they don't, then you know for a fact they're incompetent.
Well, what was I gonna say? Right. Email works. Email is good. No, I'm not grandpa. In fact I'm one of the much-hated-here millenials who apparently use, but don't understand technology.
Anyway, Email is fine, mkay? There's the spam problem, but I consider that an acceptable cost for a decentral system.
Well glue is obviously very expensive. I think LG couldn't afford the glue in cheaper models so my $60 phone came with a removable battery instead. They also got some free consultation from audiophiles and gold-plated the charging port contacts. You wouldn't believe how mad those audiophiles were when they realized they're also building in one of those ancient non-audiophile headphone jacks. The joke is on them, though, since they didn't realize I'm mostly going to listen to FM anyway thanks to the enabled FM chip and integrated FM antenna instead of filling up that 128gig microSD card with flac files...
Jokes aside, you're getting fucking ripped off. You probably even know it. But still you're enabling them by actually purchasing that $700 device one your glued-in battery is actually dead. They know they can treat you like that because they know the worst that can happen is you ranting about it on/..
The fact is, many of these electronics are incredibly tiny, complex, and non-modular due to the small form factors
The other fact is, those tiny solid-state electronics rarely break.
What most often breaks are things that are a) under repeated mechanical stress, like connectors, or b) under repeated high electrical stress, like electrolytic filter caps in the power supply/circuitry. Both are well-repairable.
You wouldn't believe how many "broken" things I have salvaged from various places repaired for the cost of a couple caps (total $ spent usually 1 EUR), instead of the stuff getting thrown into the trash. This is e.g. how I financed essentially all of my computing gear, including the awesome quad-monitor setup!
More likely, every so many cremations they'll just dump the entire ashes of that one person into their ash supply for refilling, and start handing out ashes from that until it's time for the next refill.
Ain't nobody got time to extract ashes from the oven each time. And it's not like anyone could even notice.
Doing that now and then on the German Wikipedia, where your changes don't even appear to the public until looked at and approved by some Wikipedia neckb^H^H^H^Hazi^H^H^Hinjas.
At which point they'll require proof of work. You said you tried 1000 hashes? Show me your best 10 and the corresponding blocks so I can figure out if your claim is plausible!
So you build a kernel, and when it compiles without errors, you're like "yay, I can still do it! make clean"? If you don't even boot your kernel, you can't know whether you can still do it.
Okay, but if grabbing a random ciphertext [that I know is an ARP request] off the air and replaying that results in the AP receiving a legitimate ARP request, then why can't I grab a ciphertext that I know (or suspect) to be, say, a DNS request directed at the AP, out of the air and replay that in order to make the AP see another such DNS request that it's going to reply to?
I recommend re-reading the comment you're replying to, especially the immediate context of the "at some point..." you're on about, while also being extra careful not to miss quotation marks.
That said, it should be pretty clear from my comment that I'm perfectly aware of your breaking news "Time and space go together".
It looks like you should slow down your reading a good deal. HTH

You are part of the problem.

True, but too fucking late.

It could be that your edits suck.
Reproducible builds are hard.
Nothing of what I described is in any way non-transparent to the user. And proof-of-work is nothing new, even. It's at the heart of how Bitcoin works.

The device manufacturers know they get away with it, so at the end of the day, you're still SOL.
Same here, not affected. All my IoT thingymajingies still work fine, including the house alarm and door locks.
Do you see why?
No.
deduction works, which I deduct from the countless cases in which deduction clearly worked
Nice job there intentionally omitting the smiley from my statement that labeled it as a joke.
Ah, because memory works?
Yes.
So you build a kernel, and when it compiles without errors, you're like "yay, I can still do it! make clean"?

You're a fucking moron.
Ok.
Religion doesn't claim time existed before the Big Bang.
So you're saying religion claims that time was created at the big bang?
Here's a clue Einstein: look into Father Lemaitre and learn about his essential contribution to physics.
No.
Dumbass.
Ok *pats head*.
