  • 2 things - security is very hard, and these companies are not the prison keepers. The kid himself must really be pissing everyone off around him and digging his own hole. Plenty of examples of cyber criminals in the prison system, but the biggest asshole seems to somehow have gotten himself locked up indefinitely

  • Only problem is these lapsus$ kids were Giant, GIANT fucking assholes - taunting people in slack, fucking with employees, deleting shit just for laughs, etc - they were trolls with real maliciousness. The kind of shit 4chan would be really proud of. I'm not saying lock the guy up for life though, but they were all absolutely horrible and the damage they did was really stupid (for example they would ransomware someone's data, then not decrypt it after the ransom was paid - even other criminal cyber gangs didn't like them lol). They are probably the worst lulz group in recent memory

  • It's a rewarding achievement honestly.

    Finishing Ghost and goblins (along with ghouls and ghosts) without cheats/saves is bragging rights

    My ultimate gaming achievement was beating Pulstar on one quarter in the arcade (although it wasn't really fair, I had a neogeo cabinet at home with Pulstar and I played it for hours everyday for weeks). Still, this is an accomplishment that no one I know has matched

  • You are not taking into account china can lock down shipping from it's neighborhood of SE Asia and India, and last I looked into it, Taiwan produced a staggering number of chips compared to every other chip producer combined - last I checked TSMC was still producing over 90% of the worlds chips (and I checked a few weeks ago)

  • It would be bad for everyone. Not just in military casualties - from my shit analysis it would bring the world to a halt with chip manufacturing, all the good in the western world are made in China and Asia. Just thinking about what I know makes my head hurt

  • I call bullshit - Let's see a few examples of liberals/democrats getting their faces eaten by policies they support.

    "Oh noes, this free college is hurting me" "Oh noes, all this free healthcare, my wallet is too fat"

    Just to be obvious here, show me what laws liberals have actually been able to pass just how they championed for, and show me the face eating. I'm waiting.

    Inb4 something about an immigrantl/minority/female committing a crime (cause liberals are so pro crime)

  • It's worth pointing out the cracks in a service everyone uses - some of those cracks have been there for a long time and Amazon has been doing a poor job combating it - if they even are. Amazon seems to make knockoffs themselves of best selling items, but that's another topic.

    To your point though, depends what you buy - when I was looking for really good headphones a few years ago, there were warnings on review sites about ordering Sony brand headphones and getting fakes. Apparently there were also sites dedicated to help identify fake headphones bought from Amazon (Sony MDR-7506). One would be correct to say counterfeits were around since before Amazon, but you wouldn't expect to get a counterfeit if you pay full price from a brand name store - which is the new problem.

    Also buying SD cards, specialized batteries, etc has been a big problem on Amazon for years, and Amazon doesn't seem able to really address it (inb4 someone says they have made it worse)

  • The problem in all this for me, is that examples like Jobs are pointed to as examples of why this should be done (your entire post basically), and then we have examples like Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos who basically couldn't deliver the technology and kept the "lie" going.

    How does one know they can eventually deliver? In your post, you basically assume the problem is solvable with capital. With some promised tech (like Theranos), at what point does "there is a necessary need to gauge the publics interest in a product to evaluate if capital needs to be invested in this space" turn into fraud if the product turns out to be unattainable? (Think cancer cures, limb regeneration, etc)

  • They are both big companies with flagship cellphones yes. From someone who takes security seriously, they are not the same - from how apple implemented the secure enclave to how they protect their users privacy (there is a lot I can't talk about, but if you know you know). Security is a cat and mouse game and/or and arms race. You either care about this stuff or not, but apple and Google are not the same

  • You sound like a mouth breathing moron buddy. What if someone really cares about privacy? Apple has demonstrated over and over again they will work hard to safeguard users security and privacy - Google does not care about privacy at all, and they only care about security when it doesn't conflict with their need to track and monetize you at the moment
