I was with you until #4. The US Constitution is what our country is founded on and what made our country great, technically its been modified a few times so its not 230 years old. There are ways to change it if you want to, its not easy it takes a whole lot of agreeing. That being said I doubt it happens soon. But you were on to something good there most of the way through.
Switch to KDE Debian 9. That's what I did a year or so ago and I've never been happier. Most things that work on Ubuntu 18.xx work on deb 9 with little to no work. And the rest is Linux. Ubuntu is turning into Windows 10. Fast. Ditch it while you can!
Show me that on a $50 router please. I've seen it on $100-150 routers you know those spider looking things. I'm not saying they shouldn't do it. I'm basically saying if you're going to fine one fine both. A stupidity tax or whatever you want to call it.
I can buy a router, today, that costs less than $50 that has a unique password on a sticker on the bottom of the device.
For the wifi password, which uses the mac address and some known string before or after it. Which is most likely a firstrun script that runs the first time they plug it in to test at the factory. As for the rest I'm not the one showing my ignorance.
How about the manufacturers deliver a product that isn't hackable one second after connection to the internet?
Why are shitty internet appliances internet facing? this is exactly what NAT is for. you have to TRY to make the device face the internet in the majority of the world.
Loading up a billion devices with the same username/password is not responsible
So you're not gonna bitch when they add $50 to each device because they have to create additional steps in the manufacturing process, instead of educating stupid people about the importance of changing default passwords you would rather have mommy Pelosi make the bad man do it for you?
Default usernames/passwords that are identical across millions of devices is a BAD IDEA
Having millions of devices with shitty security internet facing is a bad idea whether it be a microwave or a toaster or a camera or a fucking windows 10 pc.
You're angry at the wrong thing here. If you open ports in your NAT to access your IoT device and you're dumb enough to NOT CHANGE PASSWORDS!!! It is YOU that deserves to be fined, and to pay the damages resulting in your shitty device harming others.
Well, there used to be a time when people believed in personal responsibility. Now people want to believe that only the government can protect you from *stupid*. Then people turn around and want to bitch about the government invading their privacy when they ask for it with bills like this. Next step government is going to mandate you give them your personal passwords to be sure they're secure. because *hackers*. GLHF
implement a list of top 1000 passwords or so that can not be set. force them to make something somewhat unique if youre going to do that. but i say let stupid people do stupid shit and fine them for it. that's why we have a bunch of other laws against doing stupid shit. isnt it?
well yea, but local could be hundreds of feet away. i'm by no means saying it works over the internet. but you could drive around a neighborhood hitting devices also.
Yea, California sure is full of Fruits and Nuts..... Anyways I was thinking the same thing. I hate California, I'm from Vegas.. Every time I've been to California its been a shitty experience. 0/10 would not ride again.
stupidest reply that could have been posted. compare water that hits your balls when you don't want it to turning it to waste(brown) water, with water that people enjoy and pay extra as a luxury item to have.
I say the internet uses VLAN tagging and all IOT devices go on a private lan that you have to actually think and work to communicate with. would stop IdiOT ddos.
Actually aircrack-ng I believe allows you to see client mac addresses when not connected to a network. its all part of wifi hacking. its rather simple to clone a 802.11 device mac address. Hope this helps.
Making an effort would be fining anybody found to have a default password set on a device they own. It shouldn't be the manufactures responsibility to make sure you are not an idiot.
Do you realize the minority's that "never vote republican" are very religious? Black white Asians you name it they have a religion and are very defensive over it some to the point of killing you for not believing.
Slashdot Mirror
This could work great with that new Small Claims Bot

This could get interesting...!

How does the hopping of the long distance swatting shit work? I know fuck all about the POTS systems outside of the building.

So you're telling me that criminals follow laws? Kind of seems like what your shitty analogy means.
More to the point of OP
It is designed insecure for reasons stated above so making it illegal does nothing because criminals don't follow laws or they wouldn't be criminals.

"Default Passwords are known to cause cancer in the state of California."
Is what you should have typed.
You do know primm is not the only town bordering california right?

California.
I just want the link to babies juggling electrified knives.
kthx
You sir have mental problems... But that was pretty good.
