I really want this to be true, because not only I believe that would be the immediate outcome, but also because it would be hilarious.
But a somewhat credible source that’s not wrapped in “allegedly” and old stories would really help drive the point home.

Automation with a lot of validation steps that are not very obvious. Because if they were, we’d have automated them away.

I honestly don’t mind as long as it’s down with permission
From Microsoft “fuck you now all your files are on onedrive”, sure, they can be trusted. After all, it’s not like microsoft “I’m wiping this bootloader for you” have done anything shady before. Microsoft “I’ll revert those default apps settings because you clearly wanted edge when you changed everything to firefox/chrome” is THE company that respects user decisions. Microsoft “I’ll update and reboot now, fuck you” really knows how to stay in line and not do the opposite of what users want.
Really, what could go wrong in believing that Microsoft “I shit you not, you want to open that link in edge even though you uninstalled it” will honor the end-looser checking or unchecking a checkbox.

First day using a microsoft product? Checkbox magically checking themselves is as old as my first baby wee windows update.

Their problem is that they were slower than some, their solution is half baked at best, and it’s prohibitively expensive
Sounds like a lot of company these days.

I was pondering about updating that dying w10 partition, just in case. Well, looks like someone else put the final nail in that coffin for me.

I just set them on shelves, but yeah, it requires a bit of setup and a delimited play area.

- Comment on New California law requires AI to tell you it’s AI 1 week ago:
I’d like to think like that too, but it’s actually experience with large business users that led me to say otherwise.
- Comment on New California law requires AI to tell you it’s AI 1 week ago:
No signature or verification, no trust
And the people that are going to check for a digital signature in the first place, THEN check that the signature emanates from a trusted key, then, eventually, check who’s deciding the list of trusted keys… those people, where are they?
Because the lack of trust, validation, verification, and more generally the lack of any credibility hasn’t stopped anything from spreading like a dumpster fire in a field full of dumpsters doused in gasoline. Part of my job is providing digital signature tools and creating “trusted” data (I’m not in sales, obviously), and the main issue is that nobody checks anything, even when faced with liability, even when they actually pay for an off the shelve solution to do so. And I’m talking about people that should care, not even the general public.
There are a lot of steps before “digitally signing everything” even get on people’s radar. For now, a green checkmark anywhere is enough to convince anyone, sadly.
- Comment on New California law requires AI to tell you it’s AI 1 week ago:
Be sure to tell this to “AI”. It would be a shame if this was a technical nonsense law to be.
- Comment on Jeep pushed software update that bricked all 2024 Wrangler 4xe models 1 week ago:
You’d be surprised how many stupid thing users are prevented from doing by a basic software check. Making it easy to load a custom firmware downloaded from wherever do sounds like trouble brewing. Of course, I can’t foresee the future, but It’s already an issue with electric scooters, so I’m not in a hurry of seeing that coming to bigger vehicles.
- Comment on Jeep pushed software update that bricked all 2024 Wrangler 4xe models 1 week ago:
The kind of quality assurance you’re talking about is astronomically expensive
That might be a valid argument when talking about accounting software with backups in case of fuck ups. We’re talking about cars, on roads, with people sprinkled all around.
- Comment on Jeep pushed software update that bricked all 2024 Wrangler 4xe models 1 week ago:
Admin right on the automotive parts seems like asking for trouble by default. While I’m very much in favor of owning and controlling all my devices, cars feels like weapons we put in the hand of the general public because they’re deemed safe under regulations, so… yeah.
However, an EV with a separate automotive computer that only do car stuff under strict control, connected to another one that do management, UI, entertainment, etc. that’s more open, I could see that. As long as the proprietary one have decent changelogs (that you’d have to trust, sadly) and can be updated at will with a decent UX instead of “your car’s dead this morning lol”. That sound like a viable compromise.

- Comment on EU Chat Control didnt pass - proving the media got to alot of you 1 week ago:
Good news. But I’m downvoting that post. OP’s living in reverse crying-wolf land, it seems.
First, Chat Control got further than previous attempts, with a bigger scope than ever. Being worried about that is not the result of propaganda.
Second, a lot of countries where on board, including Germany. Stuff changed after lot of feedback. You can be cynical all you want arguing that “people’s voice don’t matter” and saying there’s no causality there, but people made themselves heard, and thing moved. There’s no telling what would have happened if they didn’t.
The proposal being ultimately shot down (this time!) does not mean, at ALL, that it wasn’t a very dangerous one.

A few months ago? Yeah, I’d be with you. Today? It’s the wet dream of the current EU leads. Closed devices, where they can run spyware without risk of it being hindered by custom OS with proper permissions and process separations? So good. For them.
- Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration 2 weeks ago:
For mobile phones that works as a daily driver? Gobbling up iOS. Or gobbling up what’s becoming of Android.
I really wish we had open phones that “just work”. I’d even go with slightly quirky but functional. Unfortunately, that requires strong cooperation between hardware maker and software developers; and it will require a lot of work. But that’s not the main issue. The direction we’re headed toward is “everything need an official app”, and those will mostly only work on “official” phones made by big manufacturers.
Even today, making some bank apps work on non vanilla Android is not always straightforward, and it’s still relatively open and easy to do. The move by Google is going to tighten this even more, and I have no doubt, if they pull through, that this will go in the requirements for the “play protect” validation BS. Meaning if you want that bank app, or whatever state digital ID app (meh) to work, you’ll need a “real” Android or an iOS device. And those apps are becoming more and more mandatory (I can’t log-in to my bank’s online website without their app and proprietary 2FA…).
A niche, open-source OS, Linux or modified AOSP or whatever, will have a hard time filling that gap as things keep moving. Which is really sad.

- Comment on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account 2 weeks ago:
Proprietary hardware, like opaque bioses that can only be updated with signed, proprietary blobs? The bios that’s in charge of picking something to boot from from storage? The bios that can decide which bootloader is allowed through digital signatures? The signatures that are only valid if their public key is registered in the bios? The proprietary, opaque bios that decide which bootloader’s signature is valid through keys it can restrict?
Yeah, it’s all coming together. Always has been. Joking aside, I’m still surprised this whole “fully locked bios” didn’t take off. And I’m glad for it.
