An open guest wifi restricted to nothing internal and rate limit it to say 64kbps up/64kbps down. Enough to have deniability, poor enough access that no one will use it. Obviously you have to have the right wifi equipment to restrict access to your main network as well as the rate limiting - like pfSense or Ubiquiti UniFi wifi for example, etc.
I would personally rather have a mainframe vs. Microsoft's forced update we-know-whats good for you crap.
It would also alleviate the upgrade "cancer" that happens when you upgrade one piece of Microsoft software, the moss starts rolling down hill and before you know it you have to upgrade your entire Windows Server environment. I should be able to pick and choose, not get caught on the upgrade train against my will.
The only way I'd be OK with this here in the USA is if this were to be misused, the person misusing the technology (tracking you when not authorized, accessing whatever data is had on you, etc) gets the death penalty. There has to be SEVERE consequences for mis-use of the data gathered if you expect this to take off. IMHO of course.
A serious question for you. Back when I was 18, I talked with an Army recruiter. I wanted to do "tech" in the Army, plain and simple.
However, the recruiter could not guarantee that I would "get" what I "picked", so I declined any further engagement and did not sign up for the Army. This was the only stumbling block I had. Is what the below posters are saying accurate? How does it work when you want to a particular "job" (I think they call it MOS?).
For the record, I've been doing various types of information technology, from Unix to telecom for 20 years now.... obviously back when I was 18 I had less experience.
Not condoning the behavior, but if he wouldn't have been so greedy, he may not have got caught. That's what usually catches the blatant thieves and launderers - they get greedy.
Subject about says it all. Can someone explain this to me? What in the FUCK would you remove this treasure trove of information that doctors use? What possible reason could they use that could even be REMOTELY valid?
Or more seriously, don't use Facebook or services where your real name is required. I've never had a Facebook account, and never will.... and if you insist and/or must do so, for love of $diety don't get all political and announce your intentions.
I'm not one to buy into conspiracy theories either, but it would not shock me if another car maker/big oil/another big player in that market had a vested interest in letting Tesla fail/steal their technology. I'm not saying this is the case - but it sure passes the "plausible" test.
Furthermore, (and yes I realize this is probably a stretch) it would also not surprise me that "big oil" has buried certain technologies that could wean us off (not necessarily replace) oil and such and because of their massive greed for money, they keep it hidden. Then, when oil, really, really is "gone" to too expensive to extract, voila! They will have "invented" this new cutting edge technology that they've been sitting on all along.
Getting your private pilot license, costs $$$ for the ground school, $$$ for the hours needed in the air, and then lastly - let's say I get that license. I don't have $250k (that's probably on the light side) for a plane, so that means I either rent or perhaps buy a share in a plane. Then of course, you gotta keep your skills current. Ain't nobody got time for that unless you fly for your company or have a "reason" to fly enough to not get rusty.
Let's get something smaller, lighter, yet safe, and I can take those day trips where it would take hours by car, but minutes by air (in theory...). I'd be all over that license if one existed.... and I'm not talking a $100 hamburger. Need to go somewhere that normally takes 5 hours by car (USA)? Takes an hour or so by air. Makes trips like this much more doable.
In my area I have two choices (I don't count a WISP or Satellite because that is a different breed altogether - i.e. way less bandwidth or more latency for lots more money). AT&T or the local cable co. AT&T is "crap" compared the local cable co, and unless I wanted to switch every year to chase discounts, it's just. not. worth it.
I still maintain that muni fiber is the way to go, and let ISPs compete to get on that fiber. The municipality just provides the "fiber" transport, the ISP's provide the access. If you can keep your typical corruption out of it, most of the time it costs less, or costs the same for insane amounts of bandwidth. This monopoly/duopoly crap has to stop.
Yup. I was going to mod you up but then of course couldn't reply.
No more Surfaces here. Microsoft de-supports them too quickly, can't repair them (requiring the extended warranty) and they act "goofy" for no apparent reason - just this morning someone with a Surface Pro 3 had it "shut off" for no apparent reason and had to do the "un plug" "re plug" "stand on your head dance" to get it to come up again. No more. The blame lies squarely on Microsoft as it's both their hardware and operating system. You'd think it would just work, right? (sarcasm intended)

I was with you until you used the word "snowflake", troll.

More importantly, the mistake was using Windows in general .....
I don't know why you're getting modded down, I was sure smelling that good old astroturf when reading the article.
Most folks will see right through this, hopefully.

Actually the one quote I saw years ago was:
"Legacy system, n: Something that just works."
What "legacy system" exactly was breached?
Sounds like just an unauthenticated API to me where the system in question will just happily give out data if you use the API correctly.

In that case, sounds like Microsoft (if they were running Windows) should be liable, eh?
Sometimes you can't install a patch due to it fucking up existing software (that can't be patched).
.... and that's when I'll only fly when it's no-other-option absolutely necessary.
When it's worse than it already is, I'll pass. (and flying now is like being herded up like cattle ....)
Consider this though - they have great data analytics - and a lot of their "stuff" doesn't run on Microsoft ....
Makes me wonder if old M$ is going to try converting them?

even though that takes up time that could instead be used to make systemd bigger and more comprehensive
Bigger and more invasive you mean..... :)
"Data prostitution"
I like that saying. Blunt, yet accurate.
Everyone should just "not comply". Can't arrest everyone, and it would tie up the courts for years if they try to "fine" folks.
That's the easiest way IMHO to deal with unjust/idiotic laws. Break them. By sheer numbers they won't be able to enforce it.

100% agree.

I really, really, hope you are trolling.
If serious, it's comments like these that make me just want to turn Amish and disappear into the woods/nature/BFE/etc.
I'd love to be a private pilot.
However, there's lots of cost involved.

Surely you jest.
I just want a dumb pipe.
If I want to open a tcp port and make it print "BULLSHIT" if you connect, I want to do that.
I want "access". Not your walled garden neutered AOL style shit sandwich.
... and it's not even "cancel your service".
