At first I thought ”Well, duh!”, but the manufacturer having a remote kill switch when he network blocked his vacuum from sharing his home map data with them, as well as unprotected root access when connecting to the vacuum… urgh.

The engineer says he stopped the device from broadcasting data, though kept the other network traffic — like firmware updates — running like usual. The vacuum kept cleaning for a few days after, until early one morning when it refused to boot up.

After reverse engineering the vacuum, a painstaking process which included reprinting the devices’ circuit boards and testing its sensors, he found something horrifying: Android Debug Bridge, a program for installing and debugging apps on devices, was “wide open” to the world. “In seconds, I had full root access. No hacks, no exploits. Just plug and play,” Narayanan said.

Thank you.

And why the weird fixation with Charlie Kirk, when there are actual innocents dead?

Loved the quote at the end…

One figure who won’t be sad to see the council go? “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane. He said in a 2008 interview with the Advocate magazine that being on the receiving end of the council’s criticism was “like getting hate mail from Hitler.”

Nope.

And thus missing the entire point as it’s a Norwegian thing, the peace prize.

Put this in nocontext

Thank you.

The prize is well deserved, and being hiking off grid is such a good self care mandate.

Shaun of the dead.

I absolutely hate planaria. shudder

This helped, thank you once again.

Thank you for the comment. Page won’t load in any browser though.

He wasn’t under oath. And he blatantly lied about a lot of things.

Yeah. Sigh.

Holy hell, that’s a kind of joke that hurts too much to be fun. Nothing bad against Estonia, I have family there, but their correctional facilities are not up to good standards.

No, ”the stick” IS rehab, schooling, counseling etc. Or it should be. Prisons in Sweden are rehabilitation oriented, but putting hardened criminals together with kids is not the right approach.

Many of these kids have been groomed and then hooked on drugs like Tramadol, so that a small reward like a nice e-scooter, designer shoes or money has overrun their already lacking sense of consequences.

We have had kids who got sent into substandard rehab facilities and got murdered for refusing to commit murders. So before the law change sends more kids into limbo, we desperately need to have solutions for rehab in place. Which we lack.

Yes, I entirely agree, which is why I am adamant that this should be fixed before the law change sends more kids from troubled circumstances into a hell hole with no options.

Before they change the law, they should deal with the issue that we don’t have enough rehab facilities for young offenders. And those facilities that we have don’t meet the requirements of current laws and regulations.

We can’t put the kids in prisons with hardened adult criminals. These kids need rehabilitation, help with getting free from drugs (many get hooked on Tramadol and other drugs when they start working with gangs) and schooling so that they can be integrated back into society when they’re free again.

Evil. And rewarding evildoers.

Texas House Democratic Caucus and the Texas Women’s Health Caucus in a press release also critiqued HB 7 for including provisions “stating it cannot be challenged in Texas state courts” and that would prevent “defendants from recovering legal costs even when they win”, which they said “creates a system designed to bankrupt anyone who dares to help Texas women.”

“This bill was written specifically to allow extremist organizations to enrich themselves while terrorizing innocent Texas women,” Texas House Minority Leader Rep. Gene Wu, D-Houston, said in a statement.
