  I would guess not. Any authentication scheme would just be another risk point to not be able to talk to the thing from earth.

  But I’m just guessing.

  I would doubt they would have encrypted anything on the probe back in 1977 when it launched.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All right smart guy, explain to me how else I’d know if I’m out of ketchup if I can’t use an app to access the remote camera in my fridge? Can’t do it can ya? Yeah that’s what I thought

  What a bizarre comment. What are they supposed to call it, a “gain”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t mind in-game ads printed on in-map billboards and stuff

  Not ten years ago people were complaining about this very thing.

  It’s fascinating to watch the boiling frog in basically real time.

  I moved to the $10 720p plan and haven’t noticed the drip in resolution even once.

  Wait what’s Linux, never heard of it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta and Salesforce are looking to rehire some workers they just laid off. It's putting those people in an awkward spot.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I always thought if you were “laid off” it was the company’s intention to maybe bring you back someday

  Where’d you get that idea? “Laid off” has always been a euphemism for “fired.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple's new iPhone 15 is an underwhelming 'slap in the face,' say disappointed fans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  We were there 10 years ago and that’s being generous. Phones have been fucking boring for over a decade.

  And that should be a good thing becauseby now you should be able to pick up a great smartphone for a hundred bucks, except that all these phone companies have to keep the money flowing in so they keep inventing shitty gimmicks.l and charging thousands of dollars for it.

  Or they strip out features to make you use their shitty clouds and subscription services.

  Or they keep bloating the OS so much that the hardware can’t keep up - but God forbid you want to ignore their shitty update that brings 100 new emojis! They’re gonna force that shit on you whether you like it or not.

  Tech industry is a desert of wasted talent nowadays.
