I really want this to be true, because not only I believe that would be the immediate outcome, but also because it would be hilarious.
But a somewhat credible source that’s not wrapped in “allegedly” and old stories would really help drive the point home.
Automation with a lot of validation steps that are not very obvious. Because if they were, we’d have automated them away.
I honestly don’t mind as long as it’s down with permission
From Microsoft “fuck you now all your files are on onedrive”, sure, they can be trusted. After all, it’s not like microsoft “I’m wiping this bootloader for you” have done anything shady before. Microsoft “I’ll revert those default apps settings because you clearly wanted edge when you changed everything to firefox/chrome” is THE company that respects user decisions. Microsoft “I’ll update and reboot now, fuck you” really knows how to stay in line and not do the opposite of what users want.
Really, what could go wrong in believing that Microsoft “I shit you not, you want to open that link in edge even though you uninstalled it” will respect the end-looser checking or unchecking a checkbox.
First day using a microsoft product? Checkbox magically checking themselves is as old as my first baby wee windows update.
Their problem is that they were slower than some, their solution is half baked at best, and it’s prohibitively expensive
Sounds like a lot of company these days.
I was pondering about updating that dying w10 partition, just in case. Well, looks like someone else put the final nail in that coffin for me.
I just set them on shelves, but yeah, it requires a bit of setup and a delimited play area.
SteamVR/Lighthouse tracking is pretty fast and accurate.
I’d like to think like that too, but it’s actually experience with large business users that led me to say otherwise.
No signature or verification, no trust
And the people that are going to check for a digital signature in the first place, THEN check that the signature emanates from a trusted key, then, eventually, check who’s deciding the list of trusted keys… those people, where are they?
Because the lack of trust, validation, verification, and more generally the lack of any credibility hasn’t stopped anything from spreading like a dumpster fire in a field full of dumpsters doused in gasoline. Part of my job is providing digital signature tools and creating “trusted” data (I’m not in sales, obviously), and the main issue is that nobody checks anything, even when faced with liability, even when they actually pay for an off the shelve solution to do so. And I’m talking about people that should care, not even the general public.
There are a lot of steps before “digitally signing everything” even get on people’s radar. For now, a green checkmark anywhere is enough to convince anyone, sadly.
Be sure to tell this to “AI”. It would be a shame if this was a technical nonsense law to be.
You’d be surprised how many stupid thing users are prevented from doing by a basic software check. Making it easy to load a custom firmware downloaded from wherever do sounds like trouble brewing. Of course, I can’t foresee the future, but It’s already an issue with electric scooters, so I’m not in a hurry of seeing that coming to bigger vehicles.
The kind of quality assurance you’re talking about is astronomically expensive
That might be a valid argument when talking about accounting software with backups in case of fuck ups. We’re talking about cars, on roads, with people sprinkled all around.
Admin right on the automotive parts seems like asking for trouble by default. While I’m very much in favor of owning and controlling all my devices, cars feels like weapons we put in the hand of the general public because they’re deemed safe under regulations, so… yeah.
However, an EV with a separate automotive computer that only do car stuff under strict control, connected to another one that do management, UI, entertainment, etc. that’s more open, I could see that. As long as the proprietary one have decent changelogs (that you’d have to trust, sadly) and can be updated at will with a decent UX instead of “your car’s dead this morning lol”. That sound like a viable compromise.
That does not looks like the same feature at all.
But by the time the lid is up to reach the power button, it’s already out of sleep and operational…
Good news. But I’m downvoting that post. OP’s living in reverse crying-wolf land, it seems.
First, Chat Control got further than previous attempts, with a bigger scope than ever. Being worried about that is not the result of propaganda.
Second, a lot of countries where on board, including Germany. Stuff changed after lot of feedback. You can be cynical all you want arguing that “people’s voice don’t matter” and saying there’s no causality there, but people made themselves heard, and thing moved. There’s no telling what would have happened if they didn’t.
The proposal being ultimately shot down (this time!) does not mean, at ALL, that it wasn’t a very dangerous one.
That’s what containers do.
You can feel the smart in these.
