They will be giving out cars for free, right? Otherwise why would any paying customer that has to put down thousands of dollars would be interested in this?
New application for CryptoWall in GB. We have encrypted your data on your hard disk and it is illegal in your area, the password to decrypt it is "password". If you do not pay 1 Bit Coin, we will notify the authorities.
How do you propose Pennsylvania compete in the global market in 30 years when % of educated professionals drops through the floor? You do understand how labor markets work, don't you? Silicon Valley exists in California not because they are friendly to corporations or have low taxes out there.
The same kinds of checks, outcomes, are equally applied to both profit and non-profit institutions. If one kind shit the bed in the name of making profit off government handouts, while another kind still managed to deliver results, how that government fault? Or do you suggest taxpayer money should go out without any kind of checks and balances in place?
Trammel killed Ultima Online, ever since then the undead husk is trying and failing to metastasize first into EQ, then WoW. How many 3D clients have they aborted? Four? Five?
Now the same guy who killed UO with UO:R, went to kill off SWG with NG is begging for money on kickstarter to get new pay2win project going - Crofwall.
Private for-profit colleges are welcome to continue to operate in any way or form without getting government hand-outs in form of grants and guaranteed loans. The problem administration is addressing is that of outcomes, and it is equally applicable to any type of college. If the job prospects and earning potential of graduates falls below certain cutoff, then the program is no longer eligible for the taxpayer subsidies. It just happen that 99% of such programs are in for-profit institutions. Why? Because in order to maximize profits, these for profit institutions maximized enrollment and reduced the minimum level of academic accomplishments to gain a degree. This also reduced the value of such degree in the job market.
You can't secure IoT, there is not enough value in each individual device to implement robust security. To make things worse - consumers don't understand security and don't put any pressure on demand side. The only way I can see the whole mess could be secured is with establishing secure perimeters and access control border devices.
For example, your house has ACME smart thermostat, ACME smart fridge, and ACME remote baby monitor device all connected to the Internet. Since ACME is competing/pressured based on price-point to keep their ShopMart contracts going, they have not spent any time securing their devices. It is 2025 and they are still stuck using badly-broken TLS 1.4! Fortunately for the consumer, home routers market stepped up and developed sophisticated access controls, reputation services, pattern-based communication analysis, and anomaly detection techniques. This way when a script kiddie attempts to exploit your thermostat, the router detects attempt and blocks the access to the IoT device.
I know, I know who reads TFA. Still, the company in question is suing alleging these reviews are FAKE. That is they are not suing for negative reviews, they are suing unknown people for posting fake negative reviews.
All you say is true, but you only need to look at what NSA uses to protect their own stuff to know what is secure. Sure, given a chance they will backdoor your stuff, but they will never do this to their own security, since they know even their own backdoor could be used against them.
Using/dev/random, among many things, ensures that your long-term keys are not easily factorable. If all you are concerned is performance, then why even bother with cryptography?
This is faulty logic. So you are saying that job is not held over US tech worker in the same way? Sure, thanks to social programs maintained by the government it is unlikely that EA spouses' children would go hungry, but other than that the consequences of job loss are comparable.
You work crazy hours while getting set non-market wage is not any different if your are cranking fake purses somewhere in Asia or fake content (DLC) somewhere in US.
Last I read, only 30-something percent of kickstarter projects deliver anything. Now, pre-ordering is being exploited to a much larger degree. Assassin's Creed, Batman... these are not small indy titles. Meanwhile these studios exploiting developers in a sweatshop-like conditions (e.g. EA spouse) to unprecedented degree.
If this was clothing company - you'd have people boycotting the brand. Why this case should be any different?

"Google already knows everywhere I go"
You are not doing it right.
Why would anyone willingly buy Chevy Cruze?
They won't agree to this, not because they don't want to sell you a car, but because liability insurance and corporate agreements preventing them.
Your only choice is to get a reliable old car without such features and keep fixing it.

I am a security auditor, and this happens all the time. For non-IT company, If they changed default credentials they are already ahead of the curve.

Low profit? Double the tuition! It is not like guaranteed student loans provided to student will turn it down.
This is how we got into this mess - guaranteed loans and inability to discard them in bankruptcy removed all competitive pressures on price.
I am going to get rich by offering Faraday cage wallpaper!
Yes, exactly. Your privacy is more serious than the horse-meat crisis.

When glasshole gets hit by a car due to not paying attention, it is karma and product feature.
Surprise! There is no guarantee to privacy when you don't control your data.
The same goes for any cloud application.

Also, when you are ready to take a leap from little knowledge, to a little bit more knowledge, read this paper: https://www.usenix.org/system/...
Using /dev/random, among many things, ensures that your long-term keys are not easily factorable. If all you are concerned is performance, then why even bother with cryptography?
One of they few poorly understood concepts in software development is that improperly initialized (called seeding) DRBG will break your crypto.
/dev/random for seeding. You want it to block if not enough randomness available.
For Linux, and especially for headless systems, use

Could this be that mice weren't hungry after high-fat and high-sugar diet and weren't as motivated to run the maze?

Yes, this is ugly situation, but I am curious if this is caused by non-compliant hardware or driver's issue?
