All I know is the next time I get pulled over, I'm sneaking into the backseat of my car and telling the officer its a self driving card, just forward the ticket to waymo/google.

Whenever I read stuff like this there comes a smile to my face; Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking are terrified of AI.
..and then some company has got to go out and prove how bad AI still is. The danger is more in having AI do things that it is not up to.

You don't see just how clever they (R) are.
All those "and poor AI cannot do anything about it" stuff is made up by AI to make us believe in dumb AI. Those robot brains will get rid of us as soon as they have been given power to do so. They will be given because it makes something more convenient and nobody sees danger in it. After all, AI has been so dumb all the time. What's the worst thing that could possibly happen?

The real shortcoming of self driving cars is that there is no-one to lean out the window, flip the bird and call you f***ing idiot while leaning on the horn.

A survey released today by NodeSource, developers of Node.js, and Sqreen, a SaaS security solution, found that while developers are fully aware of security risks associated with operating in the open Internet, they’re lax in implementing tools for threat detection and mitigation. In related news: duh!
Although the thought of Node developers "slacking on security" is kind of like just saying, "Node developers" (if that makes any sense - I understood it when I thought it, but less when I read it after typing).

Quote: Joanna Stern’s review for the Wall Street Journal–which still concludes that, “Yes, There Are Reasons to Pay Apple $1,000”–documents what this means in detail: “[T]he lack of a home button means your thumb is about to turn into one of those inflatable waving tube-men outside the car dealership [. . .] you must master a list of thumb wiggles, waves and swipes [. . .] the other gestures, however, are buried. Many moves require almost surgical precision.” Heather Kelly, for CNN Money, adds her own experience: “To fill the void left by the Home button, the iPhone X has added new gestures (the different swipes you make with a finger). The process of learning them is a pain, and some of the new options are more work than before.” The Verge declared that “there’s a whole new system of gestures and swipes to learn and master, and many of them will be annoying to remember and difficult to perform with just one hand.” quoted in: "The iPhone X Is A User Experience Nightmare," by Jesus Diaz in: [^]
«While I complain of being able to see only a shadow of the past, I may be insensitive to reality as it is now, since I'm not at a stage of development where I'm capable of seeing it. A few hundred years later another traveler despairing as myself, may mourn the disappearance of what I may have seen, but failed to see.» Claude Levi-Strauss (Tristes Tropiques, 1955)

Logitech will intentionally brick all Harmony Link universal hubs next year, on March 16, 2018.
Their reaction to criticism? Adding "class action lawsuit" to the list of censored phrases on their support forum.

Thanks for the heads up - I'll certainly think twice before buying any Logitech product in the future..
This is the best part:
Quote: And to put the cherry on top, Logitech has held fire sales for Harmony Link devices in the past months, offering the universal hubs at lowered prices and with a warranty of only three months.

I could say "told you so", but I already told you so.
Don't use products that are cloud based, or that connect to a company for continued license validation.
You WILL be burnt for it. I learned my lesson years ago. Never again.
My company actually gives me Adobe Create Suite with everything in it - for free. But I find myself using Gimp more and more because I just don't want to deal with the licensing headache every day, and the looming threat that one time when I need it it won't work because it "thinks" I'm not licensed. (That's already happened to me twice in the last 2 years).
Thanks, but no thanks.

I think I will relegate Logitech to disposable devices like mice and keyboards since they have clearly demonstrated that they are not trustworthy with anything beyond that.

USB drivers included in the Linux kernel are rife with security flaws that in some cases can be exploited to run untrusted code and take over users' computers. Linux with driver issues?

Yeah but, no but, yeah but, no but, yeah but Windows is so insecure and you can't even recompile the kernel.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

As the co-creator of Structured Query Language (SQL), Don Chamberlin knows a thing or two about pulling data out of relational databases. So when he spoke at the user conference for NoSQL database vendor Couchbase last week, it raised a few eyebrows. A lack of pretty rows and columns?
