News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Many people live well and successfully, myself included, without being addicted to technology like the phones described. It's called discipline and self-control (and reading comprehension for the ToS).
What is "reasonable" is up to the courts to decide - not your arbitrary "basic" interpretation or even so-called logic. And they have.
Wow, you sound angry and upset.

Several personal insults and as for evidence, a single "Long Island woman claims" allegation from ten years ago. Plus a political derangement twist - how exciting!

It is fascinating how insecure a person like you is capable of being degraded to by the same systems you so vehemently decry. It's analogous to being afraid of everyone on the street because they might have a black belt in martial arts.

> I love the freedom the Pinephone Pro gives me to work with FOSS software for so many things and that it helps me to elude the smartphone doom spiral.

The tone-deafness of this comment, which precedes a lengthly diatribe of essential phone features malfunctioning, is something to behold.

> It can be utterly nerve wracking when it glitches just when you depend on it.

This is not "freedom" - it is dependence - which is the polar opposite.

This is beyond paranoid. It's para-paranoid.

> Your "anonymized" cell phone GPS data can be used pretty easily to determine when you're not home for purposes of burglary.

Please - PLEASE - find me ONE example of a home burglary occuring under these circumstances.

> Your purchasing habits could cause you to become a prime suspect for a terrorist who used those same items in your area for a recent attack, like if your wife was buying a pressure cooker while you were buying backpacks for your kids doing back to school shopping.

This is just beyond nuts. Stop watching so much television, it's not good for your mental health.

The same phone you voluntarily purchased, brought into your home and agreed to the terms of service on?
> another thing that should also be illegal. You shouldn't be able to use a 3rd party (company) to break the law (4th amendment)

"Should" - based on what legal or even rational basis? Or just your personal and subjective "feelings"?

Re:Why Certificate Lifecycle Automation Matters on Tuesday January 30, 2024 @11:01AM (#39191672)
More revocations != more customers losing keys.

It may just as well mean more capable audits to detect lost/compromised keys.

The article also says nothing of certificate validity periods, which are critical to their lifecycle and analysis.

The conclusion that humans degrade information security is true but ultimately removed from the reality of operating a business.

"Rights" - even those enshrined in the Bill of Rights - are trampled on daily.

Try traveling with a concealed firearm across state lines. Or telling a K-9 police officer they can't search your car after the dog has alerted. Or use your free speech privilege to spread alleged vitriol.

There's no such thing as "rights" - only what individuals can defend in the current place and time they're in.
