It was removed due to supply chain, but Musk did seem to legitimately think optical only was better.

That’s more a product if the yt algorithm. For every one like you that is annoyed by the clickbait, there are a million others instantly clicking with no further thought. So if you don’t do that, you’re losing money.

Even then, that’s not really correct. People grab data through sql queries all the time. Mostly because all the front ends are trash.

Have you never heard of a mural before?

They were expecting this result to be possible. What were they supposed to do? Slam the car into the side if a building?

I feel bad for Nikola Tesla having his name associated with all this nonsense. Not even death let him escape from rich assholes taking credit for the work of others.

The biggest risk would be IoT devices.

The rebuttal wasn’t as comforting as some are making it out to be. They seem to be more interested in the semantics of it not being a backdoor tied to a specific product, which appears to be true.

Rather it is a potential for vulnerability that exists in all wireless implementation, which seems to me to be a bigger issue.

Censorship is not just a concept of law.

Steroids aren’t speech.

It’s not illegal for the other party to include it, but it is absolutely censorship by any definition of the word.

Okay, but what’s the bad part here? That’s just a very generic overview of how donating works.

Need to start spoofing user agent strings again.

The drama isn’t exactly their fault. There are a lot of rich organizations that want them to cease to exist. Most of which want track you online and/or shove ads down your throat.

Archive the physical copy for the inevitable shutdown. No one can stop an old disc player plugged into a dumb tv.
