Just wait until they start scraping the chans

I expect it to create the next Qanon.

I suspect that it's because they are marketed to be as much of a tech gadget as transportation. An iPad on wheels. So they figure that they can slip in this crap.

Pause? Not Canceled?

Wondering how many employees don't live near a Dell office? I guess that they are screwed.

I assume that many teams are spread around the country, so even if you go to an office, you can't in person collaborate with your team anyway.

The government buys your data, too. And not just your government.

For any legal case, government or your spouse's divorce attorney, it's a low bar to soupeana "business records" from these companies.

The US needs stronger data protection and privacy laws. Unfortunately, the corporations buy enough politicians to prevent it.

Somebody could go to jail for this. You.

The DMCA makes it a felony to circumvent protections in services. If they wanted to push this and depending on the system disabling or using some hack to bypass could be illegal.

I don't think that anyone would actually bring the case against an individual, but a company selling any sort of device or instructions to make it easier for people could be targeted.

Maybe he believed it, maybe not.

My take is that Bush was trying to sell the WMD bullshit so hard he wouldn't be above telling allies that he could make flying monkeys shoot out of his ass if he thought that it would get him any support for his war to enrich defense contractors.

Too bad he wasn't making dumb comments about Linux.

I'd love to see Linus unload one of his smack down rants on Elon.

What serious coder is happy with one monitor?

This flaw is not really that bad because it requires the attacker to already have total and complete control over the system already. For example, if they were able to steal the root password.

This flaw just makes it easier for the attacker to hide and harder to evict them.

The test is negative. Sorry honey, you're not pregnant. You're just fat.

+1 for nano. I just need to change two parameters in a config file, not join a religion.

You do realize that they are actually tracking the device itself by the hardware MAC address and other device fingerprints.

The email is just a bonus to let them legally spam you. Anti-spam laws have an exemption. If there's a prior business relationship like shopping in their stores, they can put you on their spam list unless you opt out.

Bogus email only helps for spam but doesn't do anything about tracking.

EDIT: For Android when there's a Captive Portal like the screen shot. devices will use Persistent randomization which while not the hardware MAC will remain the same for the same network where they can track your visits.
