@fasterthanlime well, if the explosive collars haven't triggered, you know it isn't THAT SCP.
@patcharcana - I quite liked the XKCD take on that....

@rysiek Internet is just basically a 2D environment. We tried 3D many, many years ago (vrml, the 3d version of html) and nobody cared.

Yes, we read the Gibson books. No, it doesn't work as anything other than a metaphor for attacking other servers, you can't use it to (for example) book a train ticket, unless the 3d world presents a pseudo-2d screen for you to operate like a browser window.

Augmented Reality, however, shows promise. provided we don't allow commercial interests to dominate it with pop-up ads.

@BleepingComputer
Seems simple enough then. Don't bother reporting them to MS, as they "aren't vulnerabilities" just publish them as 0days.
I am betting MS will reconsider this stance after a few public humiliations...

I do remember that early mp3 players were more obsessed with DRM than sound quality; luckily, knockoff players that still didn't care about sound quality but at least didn't care equally about DRM came to dominate the market :D

@Stellar - in the world of cats, if it fits, it sits....

I subscribe to the default policy of all people who have worked IT support.

I don't trust anything, nothing in my home is "smart" in any real sense, and I specifically don't trust the printer - if it makes odd noises I unplug it...

@Boorango @theogrin @SecureOwl

I think I just gave at least one?

@econads @SecureOwl
I upgraded mine to a "smart fridge".

By which I mean I used a magnet to attach a notepad to the front. And I don't mean an android tablet, I mean a glorified kids toy with no cpu :D

@SecureOwl - That's probably a good thing though.

There's literally no benefit to a moon resort, but a privacy policy that stops your health insurance company having access to your eating habits is probably desirable.
