Probably the network the hotel was connected to was already reasonably firewalled or maybe even inside some virtual chain intranet. But such networks are still very easy to hack because of shitty update policies, microsoft windows, and attachment.zip.exe.
It doesn't need to be "thing that talks with cloud and you talk with cloud to talk with thing" like IOT to be hackable.
Because its more convenient and it "works" until cases like these, but they are very exceptional. Most people only want computers to work, "security" is a strange and unknown concept to them.
But yeah, its trivial to get rid of this vulnerability by simply having two computers, one for the door locking management system, NOT CONNECTED, and the second one to write emails with, etc.
Now just someone has to get near to the white house and erect a cell with excellent receptional quality that exposes some baseband bug of that phone...
Extra points if you manage to provoke a nuclear strike with solely one tweet.
According to the report they degraded the USA from "full democracy" to "flawed democracy" in 2016 due to events happening in the country.
This seems contradictory to Trump's announcement to clean up with the corruption in Washington, and to "dry up the swamp". Also, what is more like a democracy, a country where the mainstream media always totally agree with the government, or one in which the government has to fight the media? Isn't it a great thing that media stops believing and printing the statements of the government as facts and starts creating fact checking teams?
Maybe Microsoft uses all the data it has on you to determine whether you are good with the computer or bad, and if they know it wouldn't be useful to turn the default to edge because you can handle the computer well enough to set it back to your preference, they don't even try. On the other hand, if you are a 72 year old...
Its pointless to translate all the world's content into countless languages. Instead, we should have one lingua franca that everyone understands. Chinese has maybe more total speakers than english, but english is already now used as lingua franca in many areas around the world. Also, then we maybe can understand each other better and have a more peaceful world.
From what I heard, everything except the TTS (which is quite bad) is just using some online API from google/microsoft, so your data end up in their hands with mycroft as well. However, they still should be supported as their goal is to get rid of that reliance.
Firefox isn't a "small browser", it's the only browser for most architectures.
I've meant my statement differently. Firefox does count as major browser for me (there are five currently, Safari, Internet explorer, Edge, Chrome, Firefox). Just for example if Opera did this, no website operator would care.
You've got to move, but you can't move when you are a small browser vendor, or a hardware vendor. Its the big browser vendors who have enough leverage to convince people to switch to SHA-2.
Nobody cares whether bubble or not because of the gigantic growth in SV. Even if some valuation is overpriced, the company is expected to outgrow it, which is precisely the reason why its so overpriced in the first place. Uber is the Amazon of the taxi industry, and Amazon in fact survived the first dot com bubble.
These companies expand into a gigantic market with almost no competitors (and with a regulatory body that allows deals like the one struck in China where they simply gave up competing) and therefore have lots of growth ahead of them. The car companies on the other hand are fairly stagnant, and in fact may be challenged in the future by self driving and electric vehicle technology, by competitors who have a head start on this like Tesla, or by competitors who have lower production AND R&D costs AND gigantic amounts of capital behind them like the ones based in Asia.
Plus, new companies like Tesla can build gigantic highly automated factories from scratch, while existing car companies would have to do layoffs to get similar cost reductions, but such layoffs are met by opposition from politics and unions. And last but not least, there is always internal opposition in such a traditional car company to do radical innovation, because it often bears a risk or out of general slower movement.
He seems to have a hatred for regulations, at least when you listen to what he said in public, which is the best source of his intent we have now.
His position on PC culture has nothing much to do with this issue. Yes, its mostly the PC people who seem to be outraged by his posts that insult people who criticised him or who disagree with him, but he insults everyone, including fellow republicans, who criticize him, not just the PC people.
But sadly, this is how the industry looks like. "Security" is achieved if you make sure the data only gets to the manufacturer and nobody else, not if no information leaves the machine of the user at all.
Most (pension) funds only care about profits, and nothing else. This fulfills the definition of greed. Doesn't mean that I don't understand you or I would do it differently.
If the democracy means a collection of shareholders meet up and demand from a person to be more greedy and the oligarchy gives people with visions for the future the means to bring real progress, then yes oligarchy is better.
Obviously, if oligarchy means oppression of different opinions and if you try to fight someone your life ends in some basement strapped to a chair, and democracy means individual freedom and high social mobility, then democracy is better.
That's correct for big public companies contolled by multiple small shareholders, but companies that have very few big shareholders like amazon or google can do whatever they want as long as it can be sort of justified. Its simple: companies ruled by multiple small shareholders are ruled by the greed of the shareholders, because usually the shareholders want to make more money e.g. because they are pension funds or the shareholders want to sell off their shares at a higher price. But companies ruled by single people made those people very very rich. They are far more relaxed about this, because even if they have 34 billion instead of 35, they still got more money they can ever spend in their life. They "won" the economic game. So they can focus on making the world better (like being green) or some expensive hobby (like sending rockets to space).
Yeah they only need this so that they can properly calculate the price of the data they sell. People who have something to hide have more valuable data after all:)
This is no technical problem. You can't add security around insecure devices by default. Even if you did some firewall, the device still has to communicate with the internet one way or another, or it has to communicate via bluetooth, and these two paths can still be used for attacks.

Soon the secret service will shoot down every pidgin, every fly entering the air space of the white house. Drones are banned already.

I'm no SJW. In fact, I hate them as much as you do. Still, its fun to make fun of Trump.
Don't tell the POTUS that a government agency names the asteroids, otherwise he'll adopt a new naming scheme for them, involving his name.

Trump will make this happen.
He seems to have a hatred for regulations, at least when you listen to what he said in public, which is the best source of his intent we have now.
His position on PC culture has nothing much to do with this issue. Yes, its mostly the PC people who seem to be outraged by his posts that insult people who criticised him or who disagree with him, but he insults everyone, including fellow republicans, who criticize him, not just the PC people.
Well with D. trump as president, he will only invoke anti trust law if they insult him, otherwise he'll let them do whatever they want.
But no, he chose rockets. A bit more expensive here to make mistakes.
Next week friday is prepper's day. The day the nukes will fly.
But sadly, this is how the industry looks like. "Security" is achieved if you make sure the data only gets to the manufacturer and nobody else, not if no information leaves the machine of the user at all.
The billionaires still need us to build machines for them that replace us as servants, only then we will be killed.

These terms are overloaded.

The only proper solution is a policy.
