No problem, the money will rotate out of the mega corps that do almost nothing into the next generation that is in the process of changing the world!

Beautiful work. Reminds me of Twilight on IRIX.

Who is the worst actor when it comes to mass surveillance?

Government or big tech?

I left them years ago when they wouldn't package a download for restore. Total waste of money and false sense of security.

Excellente!

On: Newly purchased Vizio TVs now require Walmart accounts to use smart features

This is why you never connected a "smart TV" to the internet. If you disagree, do it and then run a Wireshark analysis. The best option I have found, after trying them all is Apple TV. Least about of telemetry, best picture quality, and very secure.

Yea, that Sam only does this because, "he loves it." They're not in it for the money.

Sorry, I meant a different Sam – Sam McCandlish, not Sam Altman.

Wasn't expecting this post to get so much attention.

That's not fair, Sam can love money too and there is no conflict here.

I'd love for someone to show us an OS (not just a kernel) that is more secure.

[Joel_Mckay → nla]

In general, Linux has so many people looking at its code, that the CVE and driver issues will be addressed with higher frequency. Thus, FreeBSD/OpenBSD lower 0-day incident rates tend to be illusionary, as the security incidents in fringe OS always have lower discovery probability. =3
