Anyone else reminded of that old Crighton book, Congo?

I cannot believe that in 2026 companies can get away with not confirming your email address. So damn annoying…and apparently something that can get YOU into legal jeopardy. Could we use this case as class-action precedent to sue a few large companies and get them to change?

People fearful about being scammed should buy a phone with a hardware lock to prevent it from ever accepting sideloads--no option to go to dev mode, ever. You could even charge more for the extra security.

Very nice article. I don’t think I was aware of these experiments, but maybe I’ve forgotten?

Apologies if I just missed this, but is there a link to Maxwell’s original findings?
