Nothing about what you wrote was a discussion, you stated for a fact that we would not do anything about it

they’re selling a tech product that they hope to make mandatory by law, it’s not some charity lol

you are a mark

yes, but thorn is lobbying for changes to EU law that would require tech companies there to, among other things, purchase thorn’s product to scan user’s data

why bother to respond to the comment if all you have to say is “all is lost”?

then give up and go away, or watch the video and reflect on your comment

then why are you even here?

We can get it back, and the antitrust trials are a big part of actually doing it

this guy’s a threat

All these different measures and not the only one that matters lol

Per capita basis

Carbon is carbon, mass is mass, and heat is heat, none of it cares about population size, we could just as easily look at it as a per-gdp basis, and it would be just as useful

Government of China says we don’t need to change, or at least they don’t, I don’t think I should either then. Especially considering no climate change policy works without the whole world decarbonizing, including China, regardless of how small their number looks on a per capita basis

Are we pretending we should give the west a pass on that? Should they be allowed to with a clean conscience?

Doesn’t matter, if they’re still gonna burn coal I shouldn’t have to switch to renewables either, or at the very least not on the quick timetable. Either all in or not at all, it’s not like the effects above 2C aren’t going to kill everyone anyway

Then why the hell are the rest of us even trying?

Ok, so I can come change your locks then

To exfiltrate the login password from a keylogger on a macbook, for example, you need to have some software running on the cpu as well as the keyboard itself. This makes it very difficult to do in reality, as you have to infect both devices and if you do not have physical access, your exploit needs to be done across the keyboard interface, which makes it very hard to do in practice. Swapping any random keyboard in that could potentially be malicious introduces two issues, as now the keyboard itself may have a keylogger, as well as opening the possibility of exploiting some vulnerability in the cpu from the keyboard itself. You therefore open two attack surfaces that were previously closed, which is highly significant.

people have different levels of risk acceptance and that’s ok

Except it is the editorial agenda of ifixit to promote legislation that requires this lesser level of security, which makes it not ok. Outlawing verification in software requires all devices to have the same vulnerability at the interface, it would even affect users who want to buy OEM.

I’m not saying it has to be absurd, but no one is acknowledging that the security risks are real, and requiring a lesser standard of security is a cost of legislating this stuff, which it is the editorial stance of ifixit to support

It absolutely could, if the processor trusts that the data coming from the faceid sensor is accurate, the faceid sensor can simply lie. You’re removing a layer of defense, which necessarily impacts security

So then you’ll let me change the locks on your front door to one I choose?
