evacidePeople will react to news of major security vulns with "The only way to stay secure is to live as a hermit and throw your devices into the sea" and then keep chattering on the internet in a deeply unhermitlike manner while not throwing their devices into the sea.

The Orange Theme@evacide The sea, it calls to me.
Ryan Finnie@evacide Baby steps. I'm on my way out to throw my smart air fryer into the overflowing culvert at the end of the street.
David Renaud@evacide I'm going off the grid as soon as i get to the end of the internet. Hopefully i won't get too many Likes because it's hard leaving knowing you'll let the fanbase down.

Telepyleia@evacide the coherent Taoist hermit approach might be to live in a grotto on a mountain, doomscrolling meditatively whilst waiting passively for the sea to come swallow us and our devices eventually, inevitably. No chucking required. Bad reception though, perhaps, in that cave, in the meantime.
/home/rqm@evacide It is also well and good for one to throw devices in the sea while bypassers are there livestreaming the weirdo throwing the device into the sea, only to get fined for environmental pollution because you were caught on CCTV and facial recognition matched you to your old facebook and the credit agencies gave the cops your last address.
Ray—Golden Retriever Whisperer—🔝Insights@evacide teaching electrons to think was a mistake.

Parsingphase@evacide Turns out the sea isn't secure either. No access control and they've never updated the salt.
the elder sea@parsingphase Vulnerable to phishing attacks.
thermonuclear small claims@parsingphase @evacide Should've used sea++

tom jenningsOh it's easy, just use the Throw Your Devices Into The Sea Google app!
Carlos SolísThe exact same attitude to the media industry being chock-full of questionable people left right and center: decry that everyone seems OK with that, then "separate the art from the artist" and keep following the exact same artists they used to anyways
Mark ⛵️🏳️🌈@evacide can confirm… as someone who once quit by Blackberry and then threw it in the sea 😔
Joacim Jacobsson@evacide probably because very few are major league baseball pitchers living in pitching range of the sea.
World Basement Classic@evacide The sea is already full of car batteries.
Mad Engineering@evacide Security is a spectrum, and what's appropriate for, say, a military base would be cripplingly restrictive for an individual person.
That said, we're definitely biased for convenience over security.
