Things like this make me wonder if paid writers for (in this case) Motherboard ever know what the fuck they're talking about.
As an active DEF CON attendee and seeing the press coverage over the years, I can start to "see the matrix" of how to lazily assemble a news story. He even links to the Hacker Manifesto FFS. I thought VICE was aiming higher than this kind of trash.
It makes me distrust reporters. Do they just turn off the "I'm a noob" angle, assume the standard authoritative tone they always use and cover other topics with just as flimsy of an understanding?
