Just another dime-a-dozen story about rubes getting fleeced by the casino owner-operators of the current day. They could have written something similar 50 years ago, and you can bet your bottom dollar that we'll be seeing more of the same 50 years hence.

I agree. We want to expect competence at all levels of the private and especially public sectors, but we're only able to insist upon it in a few key areas (aerospace, medical devices, etc.)

It is funny to see the same story every time. It's all burdensome regulation by the nanny state until something goes very very wrong and the public wants answers NOW, at which point it's incompetent government getting led by the nose by monied interest groups and their public relations departments.

This is a reasonable question. Not everyone can do a full audit of the codebase, regardless of how open the source is.

No one would classify AWS as a single service. The name is literally "Amazon Web Services".

That's why Musk and Trump and Shapiro and their ilk were complete nonentities on the platform before 2022 /s

Imagine being an adult human but not being able to extract a tiny chuckle from such a silly thing.

Thought of this immediately after reading the parent comment. I was actually pretty shocked at how seamless the whole project was.

> Sure some creeps will use them and with that in mind Apple has the possible ability to solve that privacy issue as they are a privacy company (all pics and vids taken thru APple glasses faces not in your network are randomize/anonymized).

This is it's own distopian nightmare. No one exists in the world but those you've asserted you've met. What if you meet someone who was in the background of a picture from childhood? Can you never take your pictures from apple?

Their stupidity is a true threat to our lives. Regardless of how you want to classify it we need to remove it as a threat.

Have you ever gone fishing? Did you catch all the fish?

Often it is more impactful to address one major/tangible player in a particular space than it would be to "boil the ocean" and ensure that we are capturing every possible player/transgressor. I agree that some of the video was overly breathless, but if that's what wakes people up to the dangers of unsecured cameras/devices then so be it.

The purpose of the website is to sell ad space. The recipe brings you to the site. The story keeps you there longer and makes more space for more ads.
