How can a company declare a product "secure" when obviously no security audit was done?
If WhatsApp merely stated that in transit is encrypted, but data on your phone is open to discovery, even if deleted, at least they would have been honest.
There is no reason not to tell the driver/owner that a sensor is out or a cable unplugged and that it doesn't take a "factory service center" to fix it.
The chips and coding to provide this info to the "farmer" are trivial compared to the price of the equipment.
Recent articles on the lack of security for their laptop hardware & OS/firmware (at the bottom of the pile of Windows laptops) indicates that ACER is simply not interested in security for its users.
Bought a quick URL from GoDaddy, but never used free Office 365 which is associated with it.
Suddenly Little Snitch on my Mac was reporting maybe 5 dozen or more attempts to send data out even though I clicked "Never" & MS would try to send out to a new URL.

I've used various thermal fuses to stop overheating in designs since the 1970s. Tell me why it should not be done in cellphone battery areas.
Because the NSA wants to use GovRAT themselves!
Only Fred Flintsone uses wired earphones. Been using BlueTooth for a long time.
Get rid of the string and tin cans.
Well, there was a MacMini and a stackable accessory HD or two in this century.
Stackables may make some small sense when there are a lot of discrete components & functionality.
Today, the functional pieces are being reduced. The "motherboard" inside a laptop today is really really small.
There are "UL fire rated" safes for paper documents, but those will destroy hard drives and those are pretty pricey.
Data storage safes have to be more expensive yet.
So ... build your house on a barge!
& torrential rains soon to hit the Left Coast again soon: see Wikipedia for "Pineapple Express."
The climated do-gooders are going to have a field day with the next mega-rain on the West Coast, but they happen about every 160 years.
Is this the "ONLY" bacon exploit those hackers have, or do they keep the juicy bacon hidden from the 'Criscos' of the world.
Boy, do you have it right on "milk out profit in the short term." The CEO needs his retirement parachute, before it goes up in flames!
VW is just the first mega-liability case even though it is between governments and VW, with some benefits going to VW owners.
The next issues are likely to be gigantic class action cases which might bring a car company to its knees.
The kids I know going to Berkeley (2 Godchildren) grew up knowing that if you want to "go somewhere" you had best be in business administration or law
so you manage the coders!
Yeah, my conclusion, but not far off.
Come on!
CO is usable and can be 'burned' which results in CO2 (oxidation.)

Who's daddy do you trust?
No way.
Pressure to perform QUICKLY, ALL THE TIME, on every 16 hour shift.
No gray matter at all.
Think of how many devices the iPhone integrated into one small housing. A half dozen for the average person and maybe a dozen for techies.
They should be publicly insulted & fired.

How long before users bail on ACER?
Hey, Mr. General in charge of ACTS; no backup, no job, no pension ...

Seen it twice in the last month. No earpiece.
