Oh shut the fuck up. Smoking is bad no matter how you do it. You must be a smoker yourself to have written all that (most of which I didn't bother to read). STFU. In 2018 there is no excuse for someone taking up smoking. Period. DGAF if you like what I'm saying or not.
No kidding. As someone else pointed out: all it'd take is a pacemaker that has OTA updatable firmware, and you've got a built-in 'kill switch' for someone.
Imagine getting an email from the attacker: "Send us 100 Bitcoins, or we'll stop your heart."
Imagine getting that email every few months for the rest of your life.:-(
..I'd get very sick, and very fat (again; not fat anymore, not by a longshot). Normal wheat makes me ill, saps my energy, and makes me fat. So does an inordinate amount of carbohydrates in my diet, especially the highly-processed type like in most pasta.
(No, I'm not a 'keto' person, either. I just have a clue or three about what I should and should not be eating after all these years.)
Could we please have some sort of legislation making 'biased' 'studies' like these illegal? Give them a sound beating or something? The food industry has been allowed to be so self-serving like this, and it's got to be part of the obesity problem.
You hospitals think that the ransomware attacks you've been dealing with are bad now? Just wait until you've got criminal assholes hijacking all the OTA-updatable medical devices in your entire organization -- with a couple random people 'accidentally' dying of intravenous drug overdoses or their ventilators being bricked, just to show that they're serious and that their demands should be met promptly. Stupid, stupid, stupid! There is no possible way they can adequately secure such devices. They should require physical access to the device, NEVER wirelessly.
While I'm not going to begrudge you your trip down Memory Lane, or your extolling the virtues of the Internet (what virtues it has left at least), nothing you're saying addresses my actual point: if you need an instruction manual for something as simple and easily-replaceble as an air filter, then perhaps you should take a step back and think about whether you should be doing this yourself -- or at least get someone to 'help' you so you don't make a costly mistake out of inexperience and ignorance. I'm not saying people can't learn how to do basic maintenance (not yet I'm not, at least) but I've seen the mistakes people have made with the simplest of things.
Also how about we find a reason to put Zuckerberg in jail?
Come on people haven't you all had enough? There's the phone, and email to keep in contact with people you actually care about. Isn't it time you left Facebook for good?
It's seemed like everywhere I looked, not just Flint, Michigan, had lead in their drinking water or something, because it's seemed like people were getting dumber and dumber over time, and more and more disturbed, instead of smarter and more stable. But perhaps this person has hit upon it: more and more people are out-of-touch with reality? Consider also the opioid/fentanyl addiciton/overdose problem, and more and more people (apparently) taking up smoking in one form or another, regardless of the mountains of evidence that shows it's just plain bad for you; are people just trying to escape a world that's getting shittier and shittier, year after year? I think that might be why. I read in bed for a few minutes every night so I don't go to sleep thinking about the days' problems, and I get lots of exercise (7 to 15 or more hours a week, every week) both of which help me combat a shitty world dragging me down. Perhaps too many other people are escaping in other ways?
As much as I admire Elon Musk, his ability to look far into the future, define goals for that far future, and, apparently, his being capable of making these things happen, the man is batshit insane. Don't get me wrong; for the most part, it's the good kind of batshit insane. But batshit insane nevertheless.
I just hope he doesn't end up a hermit hiding inside a hotel room for years and years, and marrying a duck.
I have a fairly sensitive and selective front-end on my coginitive lobe, so it can still manage to pick out the signal from the noise, even when it's just a skoosh above the noise-floor. xD
Yes. And they built a nation out of nothing, and fought for it's freedom from an oppressive foreign government. All without any bloody gods-be-damned Bread and Circuses (read as: The Internet, because that's what it's become, more or less). What have you done with your life?
So you've got an IQ of 200 and are actively reading 100 books all at the same time? How remarkable. ..oh dear, you've dropped your e-book reader or phone, and now it's broken, and not repairable. Tsk tsk tsk, too bad about all those books you just lost. xD
I like my paper books. You can't fill bookshelves with e-books. Books are wealth so far as I'm concerned.
In fact, I think Tesla is probably the least of the offenders in this case; all (so-called) 'self-driving car' developers are rushing their 'product' to market, because they've spent so much more money 'developing' it than they ever thought they'd need to, only to find that it's way, way more complex than they ever thought it was, and they need to start showing a profit or heads will roll. Therefore they expect us, the general public, to be their 'alpha-testers' (not even BETA-testers, the damned things aren't even that good).
Oh, I dunno, Tesla's logo is that big letter 'T', which reminds me way too much of a Ford Model T, and with those, if you had the spark advance set too far forward, they'd backfire like you wouldn't believe, so maybe with a Tesla it's just 'sympathetic backfiring'. xD
Yeah well what I've seen progressively happening over the last several years is Microsoft infiltrating the Linux community and Linux development with it's own paid employees, and now they have 'linux' that runs under Windows 10?
Silly Linux people, you don't need to boot a whole OS just to use Linux, see, it runs inside Windows 10 now!
Now they write their own kernel; is it proprietary, by the way? I think you're sticking your head in the sand and don't want to see what I'm seeing. Microsoft has made it very plain that they want to be the only OS on the planet, and history has shown us that they don't really care how dirty they have to get to do what they want.
Or are you just a Microsoft shill, trying to deflect the whole issue?
If they're 'on your phone' then why do you need Internet at all?
He means they're 'in the cloud', LOL
..oh, you're one of those people, aren't you? Be sure to enjoy paying your 'rental fee' all over again when your 'cloud' service goes belly-up on you with no notice.;-)
No, it's not that at all. This is just another step in Microsoft's annexation of Linux. Their ultimate goal is to have complete control over Linux. Whether that will mean Linux gets killed off as a standalone OS or not, I'm not sure about, but I'm certain that Microsoft wants to neutralize the threat that Linux poses to the dominance of Windows and Microsoft.
Come on Donny, could you at least TRY to know what the fuck you're talking about before you start flapping your gums like that?
Also could you grow the fuck up and accept that Jeff Bezos is just a better and more successful businessman than you are? Seriously.
Did he extort anyone with this information? No? Then I think it's maybe 'malicious mischief' at best. Sentence the kid to community service and let it go at that.

The word is 'exposure'. Doesn't ANYONE proofread these things first?

"All of them".
If you needed a YouTube video to replace an air filter, then frankly you should not be opening the hood of your car without supervision.
No, actually, I'm just being a sarcastic fuck. xD
You have to admit the Internet is largely shit anymore. The big corps ruined it.
I have a fairly sensitive and selective front-end on my coginitive lobe, so it can still manage to pick out the signal from the noise, even when it's just a skoosh above the noise-floor. xD
They're treated like a commodity, for whatever that's worth for you to know. :-/
