Just waiting for the definitive edition to release 🤞

You know what would help? Steam releasing a console. Valve, please just do what you did with the Steam Deck and put it in a box, offer 2-3 variations of specs and refresh them every 3-5 years.

Organisms like viruses, bacteria and fungi don’t care about country borders. The US withdrawing from the WHO sadly just means that the world will be less capable in responding to emerging threats overall.

Edit: Still a good joke though ;)

Why is this commentworthy?

Yes, you need internet to use the “smart” features of the TV. No, you don’t need internet to just use the TV. You can connect any device that is supported by the ports on the TV, for example a Raspberry PI with a DOS emulator or for example an Apple TV to replace the “smart” part of the TV.

Giving me news about US “actions”…

You do realize that OPs article is about a US “action”? You’ve now been informed and might be able to take action like voting accordingly, writing to your representatives etc.

Or, as per my initial comment, you could’ve ignored US news and would be none the wiser.

Edit: one more thing, you know the US-made/Tesla boycotts happening all over the world? They’d not be happening if everyone ignored US politics.

Where did I say we should focus on another country? Why does everything have to be black and white?

There are shades in between ignoring and focusing on you know?

I can hear the echoes of people saying “why should I care about US politics?”

This is one example. The biggest problems we face as humanity can only be solved with a global effort.

my body weight in bees. Which now that I’ve said it out loud, is sort of terrifying

Not sure I understand correctly, did you imagine your body made out of bees? If so and if you like reading sci-fi you might enjoy Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Dogs of War.

I appreciate your reply and understand your perspective. I still don’t fully agree, it might be a matter of the point of view from which you look at this issue. But I think in essence we are on the same page.

Thanks for not abandoning the discussion!

no obligation to help (unlike literally all of your examples)

How are my other examples obligated to help? They can find a different occupation if they have children that would lose a parent if something happened while they were on the job.

She ran away from her family like a coward to get out of dealing with them, to play soldier and be used as a bad PR piece.

You know that how? Did she say so? Or is it your interpretation of her situation?

If she’d prefer not to be in that situation, she had every ability not to be

Oh yeah, it’s super easy to get out of a moral dilemma. Sorry, must’ve slipped my mind.

Imagine telling your children you were willing and able to help those less fortunate than you but chose not to.

And I’m pretty sure she’d prefer not to have to be in that position.

Where do you draw the line who is worthy of helping? Your family? Your neighbors? Your city?…

Or is it solely because she’s a woman and expected to take care of the children? Would it be different if her husband was in the army and was sent to help?

What about doctors who help in foreign countries under heightened risk? What about firefighters helping everywhere they can?

I’m genuinely curious what you would call this and what distinguishes it from a vulnerability.

Leaving aside responsibility, the system could have been set up in a way that wouldn’t have exposed user data but wasn’t. This is now fixed and user data isn’t exposed via this method any longer. What is the right word for what it was at the moment this flaw was discovered?

I’d argue that it is still a vulnerability in this scenario. But point taken, it’s always important to find the root cause and not just put blame on the person who stumbled into the trap.

It sounds like she’s very upset that Dansup made it explicit that he was fixing this issue, thinking that even exposing it in commit comments (which as we know get way more readership than blog posts) would mean people knew about it, and the less people that knew about it, the safer her partner’s information would be since she is continuing to do this apparently. You will not be surprised to discover that I think that type of thinking is also a mistake.

I agreed with you at first because from your description it sounded like she was saying security through obscurity was a good thing. But that’s not the case.

What she’s saying in the blog post is that this a 0-day and should be handled according to the best practices for 0-day disclosure.

You have to decide if you want to

• publish the findings before the fix -> more people will know and exploit the vulnerability but users might be aware and may or may not be able to mitigate sharing even more
• publish the findings after the fix -> the opposite

I don’t pretend to know enough to judge which option is the best. But I can’t fault the blog author for pointing out that Dansup didn’t follow best practices.

That’s nice to hear. Usually I need to grow on people.

Yeh, there’s not mushroom for interpretation.

To add to the other comments, search for Professor Dave Explains + Sabine. He can be a little much in those type of videos and I wish he’d tone it down a little. But he does a lot of educational content that would usually be paywalled so I guess he’s entitled to a little ranting once in a while.
