I don’t really understand how cars can get stolen all the time by being remotely unlocked when you could copy the concept of a Yubikey, a device that sells for £20, and have something that’s been proven for years. Even the remote relay attacks that attack the keyless entry feature could be solved by having the key go to sleep if it hasn’t been moved for 30 seconds.

When are they going to go back to mechanical locks? Or are they just going to move ahead to something even more layered with potential backdoors?

If you think about it, all that security features ever do is stop people from doing things they want to do, so we should just dispense with them anyway.Absurd Alhazred posted:When are they going to go back to mechanical locks? Or are they just going to move ahead to something even more layered with potential backdoors? The police want the ability to remotely force any car to stop/start/pull over/etc, so each car must have a "clipper" chip installed allowing a third party to do this. Safe.

Why did my Chromebook decide that I suddenly want all my tabs and backgrounds to be black after my last OS update and why can't I change it back? The way this is now, all my tabs make me think I'm in Incognito mode. And that is for pornography god dammit  For that matter, why do software updates just do this for no reason? My Xbox, my Imac and my phone...every time I update this poo poo, something (or several things) default to settings that I do not want or like and make me dig around to get it back the way I had it. Tell you what, devices. If my poo poo is working as intended, I got my deal set up the way I like it and nothing is giving me trouble, how about I tell YOU when I need an update and we'll take it from there? I like that better than waiting a half hour to play Dark Souls because you think my Xbox is outdated. BiggerBoat fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Dec 5, 2022 |

Ghost Leviathan posted:I've said before that a lot about capitalism makes sense when you realise the role of an executive is that of feudal nobility, who is assigned a fief to do with as they wish, except it doesn't even matter if they burn their fief to the ground because they'll be given another one.

I just had my twitter account locked because of DMCA notice from FIFA. I posted a 15-second phone video clip of a goal. At least we know that functionality still works.

I made a Twitter alt account for a project, and ugh. Was it always this obnoxious to sign up to? "You MUST choose at least three topics you're interested in. You MUST follow at least one person from this list we made (with Elon Musk appearing several times)." And then when you finally get started, the feed is just a constant firehose of ads and dross tangentially related to your initial choices, at least until you deselect everything and alter your settings to mute as much as you can. And all the while, Musk's stupid mug is gawping at you from the sidebar, demanding you click on his follow button.

It's really bad, but those aspects you listed aren't super new, except for Musk getting pushed down everybody's throat. A week before Musk took over, Twitter asked me if I understand any other languages, and I was stupid enough to not ignore the question and now my account, only on the browser, lost the translate tweet button (across all languages). And support all got fired so that's great and it'll never get fixed.

That sounds awful. Why are they pushing following Elon so much, is it an ego thing?

NYT has an article from the weekend with some amusing recent figures for Twitter:quote:The World Cup has historically been a boon for Twitter, bringing in record traffic and an influx of advertising dollars. But this time, when the global soccer tournament started on Nov. 20, Twitter’s U.S. ad revenue was running at 80 percent below internal expectations for that week, three people with knowledge of the figures said. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/02/technology/twitter-advertising-targets-missed.html

TACD posted:Three people with knowledge of the same figures? Sounds pretty inefficient to me, Elon should probably fire the two who’ve written the fewest Excel formulae in the past week. God, I’d love that job security. I went on paternity leave recently and when I came back I had a lot of questions about why I needed 3 helper columns and a hidden sheet to do what I could reduce down into one much simpler formula.

Absurd Alhazred posted:When are they going to go back to mechanical locks? Or are they just going to move ahead to something even more layered with potential backdoors? Illegal entry to cars back then was even easier for the common man. A more sophisticated attack surface is still an attack surface, but at least it's too much for your neighbor's high schoolers even if the Defcon crowd can still lock the doors. So this really isn't really a viable step to decrease thefts. I'd still prefer something like those passcode buttons on 90s Ford's or just the near area key fob over satellite access, and I've been that way since OnStar was put in Cadillacs. What's weird is that in a way all this black boxed proprietary car tech was supposed to reduce incentive for break-ins by computerizing the radio. Many break-ins didn't steal the entire car but simply took the radio in the days of mechanical audio players with lots of moving parts that could break, so by replacing a standardized 1X/2X DIN tape player with a complicated software-driven cluster made specifically for that manufacturer, there would be fewer people swapping the a random car's tape decks into their broken one.

I remember the solution to the radio stealing problem is having it be detachable and taking it with you when you leave the car.

If the anecdotal evidence is to be believed, in my nearest metropolitan area (Burlington, Vermont) which for the past year or two has been suffering an incredible degree of car thefts, the biggest commonality to the thefts is people not locking their car doors. Or leaving the keys in the car altogether.

It was a "thing" in SF for a while (maybe still is) to leave a note on your window saying your doors are unlocked or listing the contents of your car if you park in some of the downtown areas. People there have these ice pick things that are designed for breaking car windows in emergencies and you can somewhat quietly shatter a car window with just a poke in under a second. Makes hitting a huge row of cars really easy.

I wish someone would supply my local thieves with better tools, the last time they came through they used a big rock and hosed up the paint and door on several of the cars they hit. They also failed to break windows on some, just leaving a big crack on the glass.

What we're seeing in Vermont is not theft of property left in cars, but theft of the cars themselves, ranging from just gone to being found but utterly trashed.
