> Studies have shown this to be true. Please cite them. Literally no one has become schizophrenic because they lost their apartment. People become homeless because of their schizop…

Turning this into a discussion about "affordable housing" is missing the point altogether. Most of these people have debilitating mental illnesses and/or drug addictions. To assume…

Halifax? This isn't Phoenix or SF for that matter. The temperature drops to -7C in the winter. Will the city take the blame when these people all freeze to death because the city o…

My experience with LUKS robustness is less so, but I've uncleanly powered off many a laptop with BitLocker, FileVault, and commercial encryption with no ill effects.

> If you have SSD->LUKS->GPT->LVM->Ext4, then a bug on any of the (newer, buggier) components before your journaled FS means you lost data And yet it's never happened to me. Dozens…

I've had OBSD VMs trash themselves to the point they needed a reinstall, all from an improper shutdown. Is it entitled to say that is not "good enough"? What's worse, the OBSD team…

This trick doesn't always work. Roku for example hard codes 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as its DNS resolvers. So you may need some firewall redirection rules.

Are you saying TV prices dropped sharply once they started including the adware? It sounds more like the adware is selling at the same price point normal TVs were in years past, an…

You haven't installed a urinal in your garage yet?

Our idiocracy would decry that as some sort of antiquated Luddite device and it wouldn't sell in enough volume to make a profit.

Not my TV and this is Roku but I imagine they all have similar language: "If you do not agree to this EULA, you do not have the right to use the Television or the Software" https:/…

What a coincidence, an ad giant (Google) controls my current TV's OS and I had to accept a EULA to use it.

Steve's assholarity over the years was well documented (he was known for parking in handicapped spaces in a car with no number plates, exploiting a loophole in CA law). They both c…

You could say the same about Steve Jobs being a tyrant boss, but despite this he achieved God-like status in tech circles. So did Elon for that matter, before he became a pariah se…

Because we live in a world where people are more upset if the government is in bed with the space-n-rocket guy than companies engaging in mass surveillance, censorship, and suppres…

> it downloaded literally hundreds of random dependencies, there was no way I could verify the security of it. You just described any modern shitware that uses npm.

HN is not open source. Only the base software package is, the 'secret sauce' is proprietary.

Source? I'm not questioning it, I'd like to know more. DV always seemed vulnerable to DNS tampering.

Can't believe the HTTPS everywhere cargo cult still can't get it through their skulls there is still a place and use cases for plaintext HTTP. In some cases, CRLs for example, they…

Absolutely not. Apple was still selling non-Retina Intel MacBook Airs until 2019. Those are now completely unsupported with no security updates having topped out at Monterrey. 5 ye…

Nothing makes me trust a site with my payment info more than seeing a LE or domain-validated certificate with no ownership details in the DN.

Ok, but this is an Apples vs oranges comparison. (Carlos!) We are talking about software support here. The vintage products list is specifically targeting hardware support; e.g. ho…

The issue with passing off a list of vintage products as some kind of past tense support schedule is by definition products become vintage when they are added to the list at some a…
