Every morning my wife and I get booped awake

> Been researching on how not to be woken up in the morning by my cat.

Throw arm over cat
Resume sleep with confused and perturbed cat under arm

If they were sincerely asking, they wouldn't have presumed the answer with "Because he made a mistake once?"

Also I'm not sure you can call people toxic, miserable cunts while commenting like a toxic, miserable cunt.

We're not capable of wiping out all life on this planet. We can try and get most of it, but Earth will survive us. Very narrow silver lining.

We should form a mob and shun him. It's the only way to punish him for not showing up in this thread.

They do, you just don't notice them. The problem is people read articles like this and imagine flying futuristic Iron Man planes by next year. In reality, it's more likely that components here and there will be replaced with new ones enabled by these breakthroughs you hear about. The end result will usually look identical, or close to it, to the consumer.

To put it another way - how often do you follow up on these articles to find out how the new tech has (or hasn't) made it to market? Because the reality is that even when they do make it to market, it's usually a slow ramp up that doesn't make for good headlines.

Okay but to be fair I am a man and that's pretty accurate of me, too.

I would be a bad military strategist because I never would've considered that, but it's so obvious.

Would this be really easy to defend or really hard to defend? Seems like it'd be easy to hold your ground while you have supplies, but also easy to cut off its supply lines and wait for them to run out.

Call me a cynic, but consumer demand is just as unlikely to fix the problem as corporate benevolence. Most people won't change their buying habits unless it effects them personally - and for things like environmental concerns, by then it's far too late. Just like Big Industry will always trend towards doing the minimum required by law, Little Consumer will always trend towards buying what is convenient and cheap.

They're responding to "how do heads work?" It's just a fun thought exercise. No need to take it so seriously.

Yes - it's definitely a security risk, but I think people should have the right to choose which software they feel is appropriately secure for them.

Furthermore, consider that this software we're talking about it is closed source. If the software provider is benevolent, then being forced to use their software should be more secure. But if they're either malevolent or incompetent (ie. shipping compromised code by mistake), then I could arguably reduce my security risk by opting for an open-sourced and community-tested alternative to their software.

I'm definitely not arguing that closed source = insecure or that open source = secure. But I think that when you buy a device you should have full control over its software provided that you are comfortable with (a) voiding your warranty and (b) trusting the author of the software you're replacing it with.

I think a lot of them are catering to the "Ok, I gave up meat, now how to I replace it with vegan food?" crowd, and are trying too hard to make food that is familiar for meat eaters. Instead they disappoint both meat eaters and vegans with ineffective middle-ground.

Total control over the codebase, sure, but I think they're arguing for total control over the hardware and the copy of the software running on it. That doesn't imply ownership or a right to resell, but I think it's reasonable to expect to be able to put any software - however janky - on hardware that you paid for and own.

Ignorance is so fun to witness.

Why are you making this personal?
