  • Despite the slurs, Mr Swenson was glad that the hackers had announced their presence so loudly. It would have been much worse, he said, if they had decided to quietly observe his family inside their home. They could’ve peered through his robot’s camera, and listened through the microphone, without him having the slightest clue.

    Who says they didn’t???

    Even if Mr Swenson had used the same username and password on other sites, and if those credentials had been leaked online, that still should not have been enough to access the video feed or to control the robot remotely. These features are supposed to be protected by a four-digit PIN. The PIN code was only checked by the app, rather than by the server or robot.

    I don’t even…










  • The hardware has full functionality from day one. The limitation is in what software you are using.

    Active suspension is not a hardware feature, it’s software collecting data from sensors and by analysing the data being able adjusting the suspension to “optimal performance”. Just because certain hardware can be controlled by software doesn’t mean that you will get whatever software features you like to have.

    BMW would claim that “BMW Smooth Comfortable Cloud Ride Software” is included free of charge with the purchase of a BMW.

    BMW would also claim that they offer “BMW Hyper Advanced AI Premium Sensation Masculine Active Road Experience Pro Suspension” as an optional subscription for alpha males and people with too much money in their pockets.

    The outcome of what you are suggesting will be a slight change in the phrasing of the product offering at the most.

    With access to the keys, the owner can subscribe to the BMW solution, unlock the features in breach of the agreement with BMW by not subscribing or get a software solution for the car from another provider.




  • In its email, Google states that it is closing down the program because of the “overall increase in the Android OS security posture and feature hardening efforts.” This has led to researchers submitting fewer vulnerabilities than before.

    1. Vulnerabilities are found, which shows that the program is successful and needed.
    2. No vulnerabilities are found, no money will have to leave Google.

    Keeping the program will reap the benefits from both no. 1 and no.2 while closing down the program only enables no.2.

    Not hard to see the priorities here…




  • I’m sorry to be the guy that tried to ruin your party, but “if we collectively…”… How many people are you talking about?

    100, 1000, 10000, 100000 ?

    This is business. We’re talking about someone’s livelihood. Peace on earth is nice but it doesn’t guarantee food on your table.

    Syncing is an alternative as long as it doesn’t mean that a view pays less on Odyssee than on YouTube. If it does, then the creator would not gain anything, just kidding income.

    What is your selling argument for a YouTube creator with 100000 views on average to move to Odyssee?
