Certification do exist for engineers, and various industries and governments impose their own certification programs on platforms and software before they’re authorised for use.

Each with varying degrees of trust. The outcome is never perfect, but that’s not their purpose.

Unless you build from scratch, and white box stores suddenly start selling a 48v version of every standard household appliance (with industrial supply chain to support that market), inverters are not going anywhere.

The only place it makes sense is personal tech and computing, where USB chargers are cheap and ubiquitous, with technology replacement in 2-5 years instead of 5-10 for standard appliances.

I initiated some small talk with a guy at a security conference once. Turned out he was an ink DRM expert at one of the big companies.

Interesting convo but I didn’t invite him to drinks later that evening.

But you can do that. You can go and root it with a fork. You just won’t run banking apps on it, because it introduces undue risk that they don’t want to absorb.

This ‘all or nothing’ attitude in the comments is a bit silly to be honest.

What exactly are you referring to?

There is too much gold and copper in the ground to even consider deforestation and self determination

After all of the agonising about AI companions, we realised that we just wanted someone to play games with.

Flashing the bios takes ten minutes with a thumb drive. It’s hard to get wrong but guess some people would be nervous enough about that to pay $20 extra.

A negative example could be: ‘That scumbag Derrick poached my best employees.’

I know that, but how does that adversely affect the customer, who does not pay for browsers.

Forgive my ignorance.

How is the iOS engine requirement considered a monopoly?

Most people know what poaching means without making that association. It’s a perfectly legitimate term across all forms of employment, in both negative and positive contexts.

Do we also need to retire ‘head hunting’, because it brings to mind cartoonishly outdated notions of savagery?
