Joe Biden Moves to Lift Nearly Every Restriction on Israel’s Access to U.S. Weapons Stockpile

  • Yes, you’re worried about a guy greasing his pockets who rode a train to work for 20 years, and not the constant grifter who sends out monthly emails begging for money for his legal fees for lawyers he refuses to pay. This is a completely reasonable take.

  • I use PIA, it was recommended to me by a cybersec friend of mine. It’s dirt cheap as well. $79usd for like 3 years I think?

  • The Kent State shootings had nothing to do with the US Army or the US government. The Ohio National Guard shot those kids. At least pick up a fucking history book if you’re going to try deflecting with something completely unrelated.

  • Yeah, in a perfect world this would be the case. But people want convenience (like a camera in their fridge to see if they need milk or not), consequences be damned. I still have yet to see a proper use case for ~90% of IoT shit out there. Besides harvesting data and / or leaving gaping security gaps, of course.

  • The quote from EFF really highlights concerns about such a system.

    I’d love to see the data gathering and protection policies in place for all the footage aggregated. Are the cameras constantly being recorded? Where is the footage stored? Who has access? How is the data (camera locations, footage, authorized users, access logs, etc) protected? How long is it saved? What happens to the data when the contract ends and isn’t renewed? What happens to all the monitoring software installed on a camera “grid” once the contract ends? Is it uninstalled automatically or just shut off and left there?

    It’s troubling enough that towns as small as 25k people are blowing such a large chunk of money on hypothetical situations, but there’s zero mention or transparency into the security aspect of this entire enterprise. So many of these IoT outfits ignore data security, because they feel it’s somebody else’s problem. It’s the main reason why you don’t want household IoT devices on the same network as your trusted devices.

    • Its getting old.

  • You can take this further, and discuss how many empty homes are owned by corporations that are sitting empty, along with how many homeless people there are in the richest country in the world. Or how much food is thrown away while people remain hungry. Both of these things are happening because housing homeless people and feeding hungry people just aren’t profitable.

    That’s my main problem with American capitalism. Along with capital owning our politicians and passing anti-competitive laws designed to allow the ones at the top to stay at the top unchallenged. That’s probably a different discussion though. The “Free Market” is a myth.
