At least they are only one-way. They won’t be getting any private info or tracking data out of you.

I am willing to bet there is still a radio in your vehicle, and very likely a local news station with traffic and weather reports.

Right? GeForce RTX 50 series? I JUST upgraded to a Voodoo 3. How about some Quake 3 Arena, fellow old?

The people it affected are very much still alive and most of them will be for a long while longer. 30 years isn’t THAT long ago.

Still waking up and making breakfast. They’re perpetually 5 hours late.

As someone who’s worked on other people’s cars, you’re giving people way too much credit for knowing stuff about cars…

I have encountered people that didn’t know what engine oil was even for or why it had to be changed out periodically.

Panasonic, once revered for its plasma TV

I know them from their VCRs and batteries, not their plasma TVs. But I guess that’s just showing my age.

A rules based system works when every player follows the rules. One side is actively dismantling and abandoning the rules. Do we still keep playing with our hands tied behind our backs?

Sure, sure, everything can be simplified down to people just not “liking” them. That’s what this is all about. That’s what all this is about. We simply don’t like people. No, it’s not the fact that these assholes are the ones behind the 21st century rise of cyber-fascism. We just don’t like 'em. Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, yeah they’re all really decent people inside, it’s us that’s the problem. /s

Sick and tired of useless fucking people that style themselves as “rational” and “middle of the road” in a world that is literally starting to threaten my very existence. The time for that shit is long past us, sorry.

You are not the only thing capable of running binaries on your system. There’s always the possibility of something else being compromised that now has the capability to run this binary.

Security comes in many layers on top of each other and with software having to work together to plug all possible holes, not just the direct exploitation paths you are currently actively conscious about and using.

It’s kind of well-known and a long-running meme at this point that Redditors have a superiority complex about other platforms and think only theirs is the most “intelligent” and “rational” platform. It dates back to when it was mostly controlled by right-libertarian fedora-wearing raging atheist types.

Did you just log on to the Internet for the first time yesterday?

BIOS? I wired switches directly to the data and address lines of my RAM/CPU and toggle in the machine code directly every time I use my PC.

Data is garbage until you define its structure and what it is supposed to represent, and there’s nothing stopping something from interpreting it as something else, we do it all the time in progranming as type casting. The same piece of data can be just a normal integer to one function, while it’s a text character to another.
