Cool, so this is the point where Elon starts going all Howard Hughes paranoid and holes up in biosphere 2 where he collects his urine in leftover bottles?
Just because Honest Annie is oblivious to you doesn't change the fact that it's monopolizing the output of the local star, causing a few adverse side effects for you.
You do realize that people aren't, you know, actually, like, supposed to be able to support themselves with the lowest-paid jobs in the country? These are the kind of jobs that used to be done by kids still living at home, not those who expected to make a career and raise a family by saying 'Do you want fries with that?' a thousand times a day?
But with today's fucked economy, that's the only type of job many adults with kids, rent and car payments can find.
Our society has deep structural problems relating to automation that have been ignored for forty years and those chickens are coming home to roost. One of those major problems is that we've given preferential tax treatment to capital gains over income (labor).
We can either have egalitarian democratic society, or we can be like Mexico. I hope the walls on your gated community are high enough and you pay your private security contractors enough not to steal from you.
Fine, I'll just come out and say it, it's what we're all secretly thinking anyhow.
This is just another nail in the coffin pushed by none other than then N S A.
They want to be able have a documented chain of custody for every component in every piece of your equipment so the cyberpolice can backtrace any illegal encryption and punish scapegoats to justify their exponentially growing budgets. This way they can automatically tell if you done goofed and make sure the consequences will never be the same.

Are you colour blind?!! From the very map you cite, it looks like an even break between red & blue states.
With the exception of a few states, this looks more like a Western (non-coastal) state thing.
Western : Montana, Wyoming, Utah, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas.
Plus a scattered handful : Arkansas, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Kentucky, Alabama, Virginia, South Carolina, Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey & Delaware.

Any future AI is going to learn about the world from flicker, wikipedia and 4chan. May you live in interesting times.

A big advantage of running Windows and requiring signed drivers!
Oh, wait, no, that's the opposite. LOL.

Thanks for finding that for us.
MODS : mod parent up, plzokthx!
Instead, we spent a LOT of time redesigning our stuff to prevent anyone from (reasonably) being able to do that again.
Any pointers you care to share? Or would that be proprietary IP?
How do we know the @)#$*)@^& driver isn't buggy?
Hardware drivers routinely are shitty.

You overlooked the worst catastrophe of the Biodome experiments - Pauly Shore escaped.

Seriously, the script writers on this reality are the lowest form of hack. Demand better.
