Looking though the import to 1password now as well, total poo poo tier import. Might as well have done it by hand, going to have to anyway.

I think the biggest problem with IoT is the mentality of "always connected, all the time" with no backup plan for what happens if that connection goes down (as it always has and always will). We've seen loss of connection lead to flooded houses, starving pets, unopenable doors, and useless light fixtures/appliances. Anything connected to the IoT should also work if it's disconnected from the IoT, even if it's less convenient or has more limited options.

For instance, for the pet feeder, there's really no excuse for not storing those settings locally so the device continues to function when it loses connection. It shouldn't have to pull them from the network all the time.

Just met some recruiters from Cylance, a new enterprise AV program trying to make it big. Their gimmick is using neural networks for heuristic analysis rather than manually-updated databases, and keeping the application small, lightweight, and unintrusive. They had a marketing lady peddling the usual bullshit, but I'm curious how legitimate the actual software looks.

Kind of a bandaid on the gunshot, if you ask me. They should offer a free upgrade to people who got hit by the malware, maybe like they did for Windows 10. They need to take this insecure software out of circulation.

At least one Minecraft modder, I'm pretty sure.

I was well aware that this incident would be brought up but I meant inside it. Making malware for Minecraft is like making a computer for Minecraft, instead of inside it. Not as impressive, and probably not the kind of guy you want to hang out with.

It's possible that some part of systemd relies on reading the UID in this manner, which would mean that it isn't a bug. It is unexpected behavior, but so is a username that begins with a number.

You're right, it's not a bug. The correct term is "failure." Error leads to fault leads to failure.
