While you are correct that in is unlikely to eliminate entire humanity, it doesn't take that much destruction to wipe out technological civilization. I am not sure at what point it becomes impossible to rebuild civilization, but whoever has to do it next won't have easy access to oil and metals.
We cannot build such large-scale simulation, it follows that the owners of this simulation are more advanced and already cleared the hurdle of surviving up to much further point into technological civilization. So this still doesn't answer how part.
Anecdotes like this practically answer the Fermi Paradox. We don't meet advanced civilizations because those civilizations destroy themselves fairly quickly. Once you have the technology to destroy your civilization, you only have to fuck up once to do it.
To build on this - as your civilization becomes more advanced, the ways to destroy itself multiply and the threshold to trigger this is lowered.
So within couple generations, something equivalent to incorrectly dereferencing a pointer on nanbots cloud can trigger the end of the world.
This is because you didn't properly enhipster your fuel. First you have to extract hipsterium out of skinny jeans, then you have to properly refine beardium out of remaining mass. If you mess up the last step, it goes neckbeardium and then critical. Very important not to make this mistake, nobody wants to clean up resulting neckbeard contamination.
All of this is surprisingly achievable by expanding electrical grid and moving to all-nuclear energy generation. Unfortunately, opposition from the green movement to nuclear doomed us to pursuit of ineffective solar and wind solutions.
I would consider this a cautionary tale because the lesson learned by corporations will be that workers are willing to live out of a truck in the parking lot, it follows that paying more to support higher standard of living is unnecessary. They will gladly rent you a truck and garnish part of your wage to pay for it.
I suppose WPA2 would not go through full re-authentication and instead try to re-establish connection using a shared secret, but I am not certain. Excellent question.
At the very least you will have to spoof SSID and MAC and find a way to effectively jam legitimate router while being further out. This is not a trivial step because legitimate router will keep broadcasting and interfering with your imposer handshake.
Security is a) expensive b) requires sustained effort to maintain. There is absolutely no way to make this work with a market of cheap disposable consumer electronics.
Sure, but what you fail to notice is that infrastructure protecting such system gets updated. Things like firewalls, IPS, VPN that secure such IT system are much newer and maintained.
What you are missing is "at this cost with this feature set". You want a secure IoT thermostat for $50? Not possible. The best that could be done is secure connected at $250 or 'please hack me' connected for $50 or not connected and secure for $50.
Lease payments will go up if resale value tanks due to obsolete security. For example, $30000 new car would cost $8000 as a 8 year old car. If it will only sell for scrap because of a remote steering and brakes hijack that 8 year old value is effectively $0. This will increase cost of ownership by average of $83/mo over these 8 years. This means that normal least payment of about $350/mo on a $30000 car is now almost $450/mo
Car infotainment systems are a Trojan horse by the car manufacturers in search of forced obsolescence.
Modern cars normally last 12-15 years, no connected IT system would survive this long without constant maintenance. Thing is, it is all but certain that there won't be security patches developed for that long.
With this in mind, buying a connected car is insane.
I think it is our turn to throw chairs over this. OS is sacrosanct, is MS is mucking with it then any device running Windows no longer can be trusted. That is, after all these years of being laughably wrong, desktop Linux zealots now would be correct in their claims that Windows OS is malware.

So? There are plenty idiots on the margins of both sides.
I can easily point you to a radfem boards where they claim that any cis sex is rape by definition because it is coerced by entrenched patriarchy.
You want to change status quo, the onus is on you to explain and justify why it is necessary.

We are f*&^ed.
Are you willing to live with brown-outs? Because otherwise your wind and solar is just building out natural gas power stations.
You haven't done any reading on modern nuclear reactors. We now have reactor designs (in use!) that do not produce nuclear waste.
This is because you didn't properly enhipster your fuel. First you have to extract hipsterium out of skinny jeans, then you have to properly refine beardium out of remaining mass. If you mess up the last step, it goes neckbeardium and then critical. Very important not to make this mistake, nobody wants to clean up resulting neckbeard contamination.
Can someone explain to non-physicist how this rapid change in mass happens?
If this is your criteria for solving energy needs, then the only possible solution is to develop hipster (used as fuel) fusion reactor.

Speak for yourself. I am anxiously waiting for a Facebook-integrated Twitter-enabled IoT flushing toilet.

Very good point for why mining a smaller star like Sun to build a Dyson sphere might not work out, but there are other types of more massive stars.
I think star's gravity well would be much bigger problem than anything else.

Why wouldn't they just harvest the star for metals?
