Once someone breaks the encryption on these things, they will make clones of the devices. Get the device small enough to fit on a drone and you have a recipe for mayhem, lol. You program your drone to fly around and cause havoc til the battery dies. If someone is looking to cause problems such that people may die, they won't worry about recovering the drone, so no controller to track it back to. Just make sure no fingerprints on the parts and you're good.
Potentially, if you had a wide enough reach and enough bots, you could take over a specific router somewhere and ddos lots of other points funneling traffic through your compromised pipe. On small scale this could be used to steal data, mitm attack, etc. The internet is fairly predictable at small scale where it will route packets around a road block you create.
Pretty sure the issue here is that they do no signing of the binary installed. Sure google can do that through the play store, but you probably don't have to worry about the guy sitting in the corner at Starbucks tricking your phone into installing a root kit and backdoor to your phone.
Any centralized update mech (and there are tons) has this capability. Just imagine what happens when somebody finally hacks wordpress' servers and keys and gets 80% of the wordpress installs out there to update to a nice new version that now controls the site from Estonia.
Install KB3102810 before you let it connect to internet and it will do initial update check in 20min. Fixes some recursive 100% CPU bug that makes it take 12+ hours.
I'm sure it will probably boot to a failsafe kernel and a limited interface similar to extreme power saving mode or something. You'll likely have phone and text but not much else til you reflash the system and bootloader parts. Shouldn't lose any data saved unless this breaks encryption or something, but I believe that is tied to hardware now, so probably wouldn't.
The car should be made to either self destruct in such a situation. Or go ahead and give em vertical takeoff so they can 'jump' over the obstacle.
Oh, and why the frak do these dupes make it on the page? Maybe use some of this vaunted AI to properly vet stories to make sure we haven't just talked about it? Watson save us!!!!
If you were actually trying to make a comparison against an Asimov robot, then this thing would have to be self aware, and intelligent. Once you have those major hurdles figured out, then you need to teach the robot that it can't hurt people. After this, you proceed to show the robot that it can get some kind of reward for hurting people. If it's able to decide to 'fix' it's programming to allow the humans to be hurt in order to better itself, then we're all fucked.
Until you can show all of the above to be true, this is a stupid clickbait story of minimal importance to anyone except maybe the bandaid company to fix all these poor fingers.
1. Get an identical 5c and ios version that the SB phone was using.
2. Put tons of links in the web history to places you can monitor hits.
3. Lock the phone and reset the appleid password.
4. Throw the phone over a fence at Fort Meade.
5. Sit back and watch for those hits. I bet it won't take long.
6. ???
7. Profit!
You can always live inside a system of faraday cages... Then nothing you don't wire in is getting in. Stupid to have to be in a situation where that's even possibly a thing...
I checked it out, it asks if you support the law, answer yes and it won't let you into the site. Of course, I was able to delete the cookie and answer I didn't agree with law and it let me in, lol.
Even worse is now that it is "learning" to measure emotions it will be able to recognize fear, pain, etc. We are teaching skynet's grandad how to know when we scared. At some point it's gonna figure out that scared humans listen to his suggestions more often than happy humans. Don't have to progress far from there and you have an evil overlord ruling it's subjects through fear.
At least we are good at fulfilling sci-fi prophesy, lol.
Yeah, not sure if the priority would work unless you also ran something else taking up lots of processor. But if you use a mouse on one set of sites and a trackpad, trackball, or probably just a different DPI setting on your mouse, it would make the pointer tracking hard to pin down...
Start using a trackpad when you use websites you don't wanna be tracked on. Oh and maybe reduce your browser's processor priority so it reacts differently to their time based snooping.
Oh and first post maybe?
Not to pay lip service to Israel, as I do think they are partially to blame for the situation, but flying explosives with these isn't their danger. Being able to see around/above/past a wall or even just crashing it on the other side of a patrol or checkpoint could give you all the intel/surprise/etc to complete your nefarious acts successfully.
Can this thing directly hurt anyone? No. Can a cell phone directly hurt anyone? No, but it can be used to set off a bomb, collect intelligence to arrest someone, etc.
Perhaps you forget the actual idea behind free speech.
The idea that you can say whatever you want, and that no one can stop you; is not the idea behind free speech. Free Speech merely means the government cannot imprison or bring up criminal charges for speech they do not like.
Twitter is not a government organization, it is allowed to place whatever terms and conditions they want on the service. They own it; the users do not. It is perfectly acceptable from a constitutional standpoint for Twitter to say "we do not like your hate-speech and are removing you from the service", it would be legal for any company to say "I do not like what you wrote on Twitter/Facebook/Other Social Media; they disagree with our ethics and you are being terminated."
Another example is if you were shouting hate-speech in a public place. As long as you on public property, that is fine. However, the minute you step on to privately owned property; the owners are able to enforce any restrictions they want. Want to scream bigoted statements in front of my house? Make sure you're doing it on the sidewalk or street; if you're in my yard; I'll have you removed.
I find it ironic that people that scream the most about constitutional freedoms; are doing so in the most twisted way possible. If Trump is violating the usual TOS of Twitter; than he needs to be removed. He can't be charged with a crime for doing so; but Twitter would not be violating the constitution.
I agree with all you said above, but why then can't a bakery refuse to make a cake for a gay wedding?
I love it when people make judgements on the capabilities of an alien race. By definition, they are alien, so we can make no generalizations. But ostensibly since we can't conceive of a method of building a dyson sphere in 100 years, that means nobody else can either...
Personally I bet someone screwed up and dropped a heavy element into the star with an errant stargate and now the star is going through death convulsions.
I'm right there with you. Was gonna make sure I did it the first month to save the 5 bucks, but gonna wait it out now for sure. This is just a list of people with disposable income for somebody to exploit.
Now I need to design a drone system with small 249g quad/tri-rotor modules that connect together into a larger aircraft to do bigger jobs. Then if the cops ever ask for your papers, just flip the "disassemble flying voltron" toggle on your controller and they all land at under 250g each.
Yeah, I've tried to explain this to people who don't get it also. Sure, America isn't corrupt on any small scale like bribing someone to get a drivers lic, etc... We are corrupt on a huge institutional level. Ultimately, what is a lobbying group but institutional level major bribes being paid to get something in return? And to boot, people who work for these organizations get paid well to be nothing more than the guy delivering the bribe. I personally respect the low level stuff that everybody can comprehend easily rather than this BS...
someone decides to game google maps or the like? Use a bunch of fake traffic to get people's navs to route toward this strip... Results would be great for the printing company. Something like this could also be used to clear a getaway route or cause congestion near the police station, etc... Not sure how hard this would be to do, but seems like it would be doable for a group of organized jackasses. And that is what the internet does best, let jackasses organize their jackassery.

Multiply by .6 instead maybe?
