This calls for new legislation. There are FTC best practice laws being discussed for just this kind of situation.

So, basically the enforcement of the above documents recommendations from what I understand. Not an expert though.

The thinking is this kind of bullshit directly compromises national security.

I agree with that thinking.

100% it does. The right music makes the difference between a productive day and a total waste.

Yay! Me too.

Thanks to OP for reinforcing my choice to forever avoid smart TV's.

Edit: if you want a non-smart TV look for hospitality TVs.

Also, "how to ask everyone capable to hack your shit product without asking everyone to hack your shit product."

If necessary it'll be active resistance from me.

Could not get past the paywall without the archive.

I hope that helps.

Pliers woulda worked (from experience). I always keep a pair handy for this and other more practical reasons.

Me too. I let my $$ speak for me.

Actually, I'm kinda doing all of that. One exception: I'm looking into how to CREATE a union. It's a little daunting but I persist.

Excellent advice in general, friend.

Hahah yeah. 100% air gapped. About as secure as a paper door. Sometimes I feel like they just put it out in the field after they get their first successful test done and then forget about it forever.

Did hospital IT work and 100% agree.

What do you think the solution to that kind of situation is then?

I'm not being facetious, I'm actually interested in your thoughts.

This is my fear. This is how they win.

I hope you're right. My fear is that there are enough that are able to wag the dog and take advantage that are deviously coordinated and able to turn this country into something that we don't recognize in short order.

The worst part is that it's not some sort of crazy conspiracy theory. There are actual groups that are working to change the entire political landscape in this country and to something draconian and dark.

They see (largely) in terms of black and white with zero shades of gray. That makes for way less infighting than the Dems. It's their superpower.

It's how they're beating the left so handily.

I agree, their numbers, organization, and ammo reserves are not to be dismissed or underestimated.

I prefer "Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow!"

Definitely a shitshow. I have some contacts internally over there that have led me to believe that it's as bad as it appears to be from the outside.

Yeah, last I heard, the place I worked at was going to be priced out of their products, from ESXi hosts to Horizon to WorkSapce1. ALL the eggs were in that basket.

They'll have to transition and retool for everything.

I switched jobs partly to avoid that BS. How much worse has it gotten since last year?
